Foreword
Yuuka Kazami (風見 幽香 Kazami Yuuka) is a long-lived youkai called the "Flower Master of the Four Seasons" whose main place of activity is the Garden of the Sun, a field completely covered in sunflowers. She loves seasonal flowers, so throughout the year she moves to the respective places where the flowers grow: spring flowers for spring, summer flowers for summer, autumn flowers for autumn and sometimes winter flowers for winter.
Windows 98 Ära
Lotus Land Story (Windows 98 Ära)
Yuuka was the one behind the events of Lotus Land Story, where she sent youkai to destroy the Hakurei Shrine because she had "spare time". In the middle of night (it said 3 o'clock on Yuuka's clock), since she was suddenly challenged to fight, she showed up with a pink negligee and nightcap, accepting the challenge. As a matter of fact, since Reimu Hakurei started out at noon and Marisa Kirisame started out at night, it is questionable whether the stage is actually in the middle of night. She used sparkly bullets, as well as a "master spark".
Afterwards when she was defeated, she didn't appear to be defeated and ran off, but when she fought again on the sixth stage, she showed up with the appearance similar to her Windows outfit. Not affected at all by her sudden wake-up and fight, she said "come back again~ ♥" in Marisa's arc, proving that her previous battle showed that she weren't going all-out. She was able to clone herself, turn into a ball of light and throw red Windmills. After the two long battles, she was finally exterminated.
Phantasmagoria of Flower View (Windows Ära)
Yuuka, being a Youkai that's been around for a long time, knew exactly what was happening when this incident started, but took time to realise it was 60 years ago the previous incident occurred. Of course being the youkai of flowers helped too, but unfortunately that also put her straight at the top of everyone's suspect list when they found her enjoying the flowers. She eventually encounters Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu and gets lectured for living too long and teasing others. Eventually, they fight to prove who's the strongest, with Yuuka winning.
Personality
Her threat level is "extremely high" and her human friendship level is at its "worst", but she also tends to visit the Human Village, and this would mean that because of her attitude, she would not be seen as a strong youkai by her appearance. It's said that the older a youkai becomes, the more polite they'll become. The owner of the Human Village's flower shop said: "She came to the village to shop. She gives proper greetings, and she didn't seem like she's that strong, but..." However, there was also an anonymous who thought that her smiling face was scary. She's known for telling lies most of the time, as shown in her story mode in Phantasmagoria of Flower View.
She has a troublesome personality in the PC-98 of telling stupid jokes, which lets Marisa Kirisame says that she's "a strange fellow". Believing that "power is everything", no matter who her opponent is (even if it's a god), she's not timid at all. Liking to bully weak ones, she is able to smell weaklings. Since she likes to tease the opponent with a smiling face and make fun of others, and said "praise all the more", which was an expression looking down on someone, she appears very sadistic. Yuuka was more of a spontaneous character without charisma. Although Shinki said "though you're a human!", the interpretation of this is known. But on the fifth stage of Lotus Land Story, Yuuka said "what's with you? Treating people like youkai..." while she was half asleep.
In the Seihou Project canon of Kioh Gyoku, she had considerably more charisma than she had in PC-98, and her cut-in image was characteristically more attack-like. To add to this, ZUN in her profile referred to her as Youkai Moe. Various official materials follow similar suit with her smiling in a sunflower field in her Perfect Memento in Strict Sense's article, and her background appearance in Hopeless Masquerade has her sitting with a smile and waving.

Yuuka Aka Sleeping Terror
Yuuka (Windows Ära)
Windows Ära
▸ blubb: blubb, blubb,blubb
▸ Yuuka: Everywhere I go, flowers, flowers, and more flowers.
I haven't seen Gensokyo like this in a long time.
The last time this happened was exactly 60 years ago.
▸ Yuuka: I see, that's unfortunate.
I'm a youkai that manipulates flowers.
I'm the one that caused this incident to occur.
▸ Yuuka: What's unfortunate is that I was lying.
|
____Possessions:
Yuuka always has a parasol with her that's apparently the only flower in Gensokyo that never withers, but it's unclear if it can actually turn into a flower, actually is a flower or if this is a mere metaphor. However, on the final stage of Lotus Land Story, she appears to close her umbrella several times during the boss battle. Also, according to Rinnosuke, it is a special parasol that drastically cuts ultraviolet rays, and not to speak of rain, it can also block danmaku.
____Ability & Strength
Although she has been said to be "the strongest class of youkai" in PC-98 canon, there is no information stating that Yuuka is the strongest in the Windows canon, despite many things that indicate her strength.
In Mystic Square, she talks about learning magic in her ending, and became even stronger, so she became transparent and followed Marisa Kirisame and Alice around, but as for how long she take to accomplish it is unclear. This could be that in Mystic Square, she used her power she acquired in her dream world, where in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she used magic plus getting power from the flowers in the flower fields. She had abilities to which ZUN wrote "possibly the strongest", and she had a wide-range type flower-shot. As ZUN stated, "said to be 5+4×2-way shot of the strongest, the amazing range of her wide shot can cover".
On the fifth stage of Lotus Land Story, she turned into what appears to be a ball of light, and on the sixth stage, she was able to clone herself, or split into two, which both of them are her true self. On the fifth stage, she had the so-called "original master spark" that can cover almost the entire screen, and on the sixth stage, she had a wide-range "split spark", with lack of space to dodge the spark.
In the Windows canon during Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Eiki Shiki told Yuuka that she's lived a little too long. Longer-lived youkai are thought to have stronger power, but in same conversation, Yuuka said "let's make it as clear as black and white who of us is the strongest in Gensokyo". She appeared as a stage boss in the scenarios of various characters, driving her opponents away instead of being defeated. The only other one treated like this is Aya Shameimaru.
In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, with statements like "tremendous power", "as a long-living youkai, she is not very active", "extremely high youkai power and physical abilities", etc., there are countless writings related to her strength. It was stated that Reimu Hakurei has exterminated Yuuka several times, but Hieda no Akyu thinks it’s "probably bogus".
____Ability to manipulate flowers
Yuuka is able to manipulate flowers. This is shown in Phantasmagoria of Flower View by her flower-shaped danmaku and the names of her spell cards, but due to her limited appareances, there aren't many other portrayals of this ability. Perfect Memento in Strict Sense states that it's an ability to "make flowers bloom, shift the face of sunflowers towards the sun, or make withered flowers bloom again." There were also such statements like "this ability is more of an extra," and she can uses her umbrella to scatter flower petals to perform graceful attacks, which is completely unrelated to her abilities.
It's unknown if she had the "ability to manipulate flowers" during the PC-98 era, but there was one ending where she destroyed the shrine with a large plant, as well as shooting lotus flowers in Mystic Square. With theme music "Lovely Mound of Cherry Blossoms" and shot "Hourai Cherry Blossoms" in Kioh Gyoku, her current image of being with a recollection of sunflowers was quite thin.

____H
er full name is Yuuka Kazami (風見 幽香), in which she had no surname during the PC-98 and Seihou Project canon. The characters for "Yuuka" (幽香) mean "dim scent" or "fragrance". "Kazami" (風見) literally means "wind watching" and is also the term for a weather vane.
Design
In Lotus Land Story's official art, Yuuka is first seen on Stage 5 with green eyes, long green hair, and light pink pajamas. She also carries a large pink pocket-watch with roman numerals.
In Lotus Land Story's final stage, as well as in Mystic Square's and Kioh Gyoku's official art, Yuuka is wearing red plaid pants and a waistcoat of the same color and pattern over a plain white shirt; her right eye is covered by her hair. In Mystic Square, her bomb cut-in is quite loli-like and is shown with a baton when she uses a bomb. In both Mystic Square and Phantasmagoria of Flower View, her hair is wavy and cut to shoulder-length; in the latter game, she wears a red plaid skirt instead of plaid pants and, as in Kioh Gyoku, her eyes are red.
Unusual among Touhou Project characters, Yuuka is not ornamented with ribbons, various hair ornaments, or hats; instead, she is seen carrying an umbrella in Lotus Land Story, Phantasmagoria of Flower View and Kioh Gyoku.
Yuuka's illustration in Kioh Gyoku was done by ZUN himself. Her design is quite close to how it is in the Touhou Windows canon: Her hair length is somewhat in between how it is in Lotus Land Story and Phantasmagoria of Flower View. However, in her cut-in image while casting a spell, she is shown to have four green and purple wings, though her sprite for her boss attack has six wings of light.
Her alternative outfit in Phantasmagoria of Flower View is same as her normal outfit, except her dress is blue.
