森近霖之助

Nickname: 香霖 Kourin

Morichika Rinnosuke is a glasses-wearing, half-human, half-youkai shopkeeper and was the only visible male in the Touhou Windows series, beginning from his debut in Curiosities_of_Lotus_Asia until Unzan's debut in Undefined_Fantastic_Object. He has the ability to recognize the name and purpose of an item at a glance, but lacks any apparent fighting abilities.

He runs the "Kourindou" (香霖堂), an antiques shop near the Forest of Magic stocked with items found in the human world outside Gensoukyou, sometimes supplied by Yakumo_Yukari. He is an old acquaintance of Kirisame_Marisa, who frequently steals from his shop –a habit emulated by Hakurei_Reimu.

Fanworks sometimes portray him as a lecherous pervert running around wearing only a fundoshi, or an extremely muscular man –sometimes with power equal to the rest of the cast– dubbed MANnosuke. Many fans often pair him with Kamishirasawa_Keine either as childhood friend or colleague, due to their similar status as half-youkai.

Rinnosuke makes a cameo in the background of the Human Village stage in Hopeless_Masquerade, his first official in-game appearance of any kind.

Name and nickname


His full name is Morichika Rinnosuke (森近 霖之助). His surname, Morichika (森近), means "near the forest", which is the location of Kourindou, near the Forest of Magic. Morichika is an actual place name, family name or surname. His first name, Rinnosuke (霖之助), means "helps the long/continuous, heavy rain", and it possibly has something to do with Kirisame_Marisa since Kirisame means "drizzle". His nickname, Kourin (香霖), means "fragrant long/continuous, heavy rain" and it is a short-form of Kourindou (香霖堂), which literally means "fragrant long/continuous, heavy rain hall/place/temple".
