"I'm sure we've met before, but I'm just here to gather misfortune, now."
— Hina Kagiyama (Mountain of Faith Stage 2)
Hina Kagiyama (鍵山 雛, Kagiyama Hina) is a misfortune god and the leader of the Nagashi-bina doll army. Her job is to gather the misfortune of humans, as well as scare off lost humans who get too near to the Youkai Mountain at the Great Youkai Forest. Hina first appeared as the Stage 2 boss in Mountain of Faith.
General Information
Personality
Hina's personality is typically friendly and sociable. She considers herself a friend among humans and often tries to help them by scaring them away from the mountain or carrying their misfortune to the gods. Such as when she tries to warn Reimu or Marisa that going up the mountain is dangerous when they are first in the Great Youkai Forest. Hina cares a lot about the environment and will turn objects of misfortune that float down the river into Nagashibina to remove their misfortune.
Abilities
- Stockpiling misfortune
Hina possesses the ability to store and manage misfortune inside herself. By people's exorcism, she collects misfortune, and is able to stockpile it in her surroundings. Misfortune in her surroundings possesses power to give any kind of human or youkai misfortune, which causes misfortune to humans and youkai that come near her. However, this does not mean she stockpiles the misfortune in herself, and since it is always in the "surroundings" that she stockpiles the misfortune, she definitely does not become misfortune herself. Hina may be a misfortune god but as she doesn't collect faith or have any shrines dedicated to her, she is more of a god in name rather than nature.
The misfortune that she takes up from humans is given over to other gods. She holds no ill will towards humans, however, and amasses misfortune merely as a way of preventing it from befalling others. The negative energy of misfortune is what gives Hina her power. As one that stores the misfortune, it can be said that from a certain point of view, she also possesses good fortune.
In order to amass this misfortune, she collects the Nagashi-bina dolls in which humans use to put their own misfortune and float downstream. Perhaps as a performance of her stockpiling of misfortune in danmaku, her spinning may be a reference to her ability to store up curses. This is because the kanji for "curse" (厄, yaku) looks somewhat like a swirl, just like the one on her dress. It can be seen that something like misfortune flies in Hina's surroundings, developing into danmaku as a spiral. It seems like she throws them as bullets in the form of amulets. Additionally, a purple-blue-ish fog can be seen swarming around her when she casts a spell card.
Occupation
In addition to scaring off humans from the Youkai Mountain and amassing misfortune, she has apparently begun selling the Nagashi-bina dolls that she collects as a form of recycling. However, as it is generally a taboo to pay any attention to a misfortune god, her stand is probably ignored.

Character Design
Hina is a misfortune goddess (厄神, yakujin). By utilizing the Japanese ritual nagashi-bina (流し雛) – a custom which people transfer their impurity (穢れ, kegare) and misfortune (厄, yaku) on to a hina doll (雛人形, hina ningyou) and then putting it into a river to be carried away – she collects the misfortune by gathering the hina dolls at the downstream.[1]
Name
Her name is Hina Kagiyama (鍵山雛). The characters for Kagiyama (鍵山) literally mean "key mountain". Hina (雛) usually means "(bird) chick", but in her case, it's highly likely that it came from the event of nagashi-bina (流し雛).
Design
In Mountain of Faith's official art, Hina has aquamarine hair and eyes. Her hair is decorated with red bows and white frills. Part of her hair is tied under her chin with a bow as a sort front ponytail. She wears a red dress which is darker around her middle and lighter on the bottom. The dress also has white frills on the bottom and an enormous white kerchief on top. The bottom of her dress is decorated with a similar aquamarine swirl resembling the "厄" (misfortune) kanji at the bottom. As footwear she has knee-length black cross-laced boots similar to Alice Margatroid's.
At the fight Hina is spinning during all her spell card attacks. And apparently it is her speciality, as explained in The Grimoire of Marisa. This is also seen in Double Spoiler.
Appearances
- Mountain of Faith
Depending on who you choose as a playable character, Hina will either face Reimu Hakurei or Marisa Kirisame in the stage 2 fight of Mountain of Faith at the Great Youkai Forest near a river.
Hina tries to chase Reimu away during the midboss fight, as she explains that it's her job to chase away lost humans. But Reimu claims she isn't lost and just want to go to the Youkai Mountain and then starts to fight as she thinks Hina is a youkai. Hina once again tries to stop Reimu, but fails.
Marisa says it takes so long to enter the mountain that she could "recite all the digits of pi" before she gets there. Hina then enters and is wondering what Marisa is talking about. Hina does not want Marisa, or any other human, to enter the mountain as it could be dangerous. Hina is trying to protect them from the mountain, but Marisa wants to enter the mountain anyway and starts fighting with Hina.
- Double Spoiler
In Double Spoiler, Hina appeared as a stage 2 target, where she uses a few spell cards and had Aya Shameimaru and Hatate Himekaidou take photos of her and her danmaku.
- Hopeless Masquerade
Hina made a background cameo appearance in Hopeless Masquerade on the Genbu Ravine and Youkai Tanuki Forest stage. She is seen standing waving her hand.
- Symposium of Post-mysticism
- The Grimoire of Usami
She showed up to the Hakurei Fireworks Festival after Shinmyoumaru Sukuna and Seija Kijin took over, showcasing some of her dangerous danmaku.
- Foul Detective Satori
She briefly appears at the end of chapter 18, where she discovers a printed circuit board in the river, wondering where such an item could've come from. In the following chapter, she's shown talking to Rin Kaenbyou about the unconscious body she saw washed up at said river, which she identified as Nitori Kawashiro, along with the machine parts she found along the way.
- Whispered Oracle of Hakurei Shrine
Reimu Hakurei writes a fortune slip about Hina as a way of cleaning up in the aftermath of an incident.
