Komachi Onozuka

Komachi Onozuka, also known as Guide of the Sanzu River, is a character from the Touhou Project series.
== Charactah Account ==
A shinigami whose job it is to ferry the souls of the dead across the Sanzu River to await judgment, using her power to manipulate distance to shorten the boat trip when needed. However, she's an incorrigible slacker, which ends up leading to an events where the amount of dead souls overwhelms her and begin accumulating in the world of the living.
Komachi is known for being a slacker. She has a lazy, carefree personality and loves to talk, especially to the departed spirits she ferries across the Sanzu River. As a shinigami, Komachi is mildly antagonistic to people who outlive the regular life span (hermits and celestials for instance) and very antagonistic to those who destroy souls, phantoms, and other spirits.
Since Komachi is just a shinigami ferryman, it is not in her jurisdiction to take another person’s life. However, she won’t hesitate to threaten them with her scythe while issuing a warning, as seen in her interactions with Kasen Ibaraki and Tenshi Hinanawi.

== Trivia ==
* The Last Word theme in Imperishable Night, Touhou Youkai Komachi, contains the exact kanji used in her name.
* In Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she mentions the idea of having a notebook that brought death to anyone whose name was written in it. This is an unsubtle reference to the titular possession of shinigami in the manga Death Note.
* One of Komachi's win quotes in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody has her saying that her eyes allow her to see how long someone will live. She goes on to offer to trade her eye for half her opponent's remaining lifespan. This is a blatant Death Note reference. Furthermore, it is directly contradicted in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, which states that there are shinigami in the Ministry of Right and Wrong whose specific job is measuring and calculating lifespans.
