Kasen Ibaraki is a character from Touhou Project, first appearing as the main protagonist in the Wild and Horned Hermit manga, and later made her first game appearance in Urban Legend in Limbo as one of the playable characters.
Kasen is a hermit who lives on the youkai mountain near the Moriya Shrine. She is widely suspected of being an oni, mostly due to her expressing traits such as intense fear of beans, which oni are weak to. She has the ability to communicate with animals, can open the Hakurei barrier at will, and has a prosthetic arm made of black smoke. Using her prosthetic arm, she is able to extinguish vengeful spirits, much to the dismay of Komachi Onozuka, who warns her of the Yama's impending wrath if she was to continue. In the past, Kasen was once one of the youkai sages of Gensokyo alongside Yukari Yakumo, but Kasen's strong alliance with humans has since put the two at odds with each other.
In M.U.G.E.N, Kasen has been made twice, once by Hetyo, and another by Deoxgigas.
Hetyo's version
With her prosthetic arm at her side (both figuratively and literally), Kasen comes to the table with deadly ranged melee attacks to compliment her projectile-heavy Hisoutensoku-styled gameplay. Don't let this oni hermit fool you, as her dash speeds and teleports enable her to zip around the stage at incredible speeds, which will be sure to make even a certain tengu gossip journalist jealous..
