The "Flower Master of the Four Seasons".

Final Boss of [[Touhou]]'s [i][[Lotus Land Story]][/i] and later a recurring playable character, as well as the fourth [[Kazami Yuuka (PC-98)|PC-98]] generation character after [[Hakurei Reimu]], [[Kirisame Marisa]] and [[Alice Margatroid]] to reappear in the Windows generation (specifically in [i][[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]][/i]).

A highly dangerous youkai with the power to manipulate [[flower]]s, and reputed creator and original wielder of the [[Master Spark]] (which Marisa later "borrowed"). Hinted by [[Hieda no Akyuu]] to exhibit a rather polite facade, provided she or her flowers are not harmed. Once described by ZUN as "Youkai moe~", possibly meant as a pun given that the literal meaning of moe is "budding" and Yuuka controls flowers. Yuuka's place of residence is unknown in canon, but is generally assumed to be the [[Garden of the Sun]], where she tends a [[flower field|massive field]] of [[sunflower]]s, and it is known she used to occupy the Dream World mansion [[Mugenkan]] with her then-retainer [[Elly (touhou)|]]. Frequently portrayed in fan works as the [[sadism|Ultimate Sadistic Creature]] (USC), as a bloodthirsty psychopath, or as tsundere.  Usually some combination of the first two (or of all three).  Alternately, she is often depicted as lonely due to this reputation or as very friendly to [[Team 9 (touhou)|]] and other children.

She has [[short hair|short]] [[green hair]] with [[medium bangs|medium-length bangs]] and [[red eyes]], sometimes [[yellow eyes|yellow]]. Her outfit consists of an [[open vest|open]] [[plaid vest|plaid]] [[red vest]] over a [[long sleeves|long-sleeved]] [[collared shirt|collared]] [[white shirt]] tied with a [[yellow ascot]]. To complete her [[skirt set]] is a matching [[plaid skirt|plaid]] [[red skirt]] with [[frilled skirt|frills]] or [[plaid pants|plaid]] [[red pants]]. Her footwear is usually [[white socks]] with [[red footwear|red]] [[mary janes]] or [[brown footwear|brown]] [[boots]]. She usually carries her [[pink umbrella|pink]] [[parasol]].

* "Noukarin":[http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%81%AE%E3%81%86%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8A%E3%82%93] (Farmer-Yuukarin): Originally a type of [[Yukkuri Shiteitte Ne]], unusually depicted with a full body instead of just as a head.  Now this word means Kazami Yuuka wearing a [[straw hat]].  Noukarin is frequently depicted with an acoustic [[guitar]] and/or with an almost impenetrable rural accent. 
* "Bakerin":[http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%81%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8A%E3%82%93] (Bakery-Yuukarin): A recent variant of Kazami Yuuka who makes [[bread]] in her own bakery named "[[Bakery]] Kazami".  "A certain tweet":http://twitter.com/matsurisyndrome/status/51104783376990208 caused this trend.
* [[Kazami Youka (yokochou)|]]: a younger and more upbeat version of Yuuka; from [[yokochou]]'s work.
