基本設定
蓬萊山輝夜原本是月球人的公主。千年前,她因使用禁藥,即蓬萊長生不老藥,而被放逐到地球上。到達地球的那天,她被一個伐竹翁發現,從此便住在她曾看不起的地上人的村落里。雖然月球人非常輕視人類,然而輝夜漸漸喜歡上了她的新家。關於輝夜超凡脫俗的美貌的傳言不脛而走,各地的男子都慕名而來向她求婚,藤原妹紅的父親就是其中之一,但是,沒有一個人能成功地完成輝夜為了測試他們而提出的五個難題。
第一個題,是從印度帶給她天竺佛前的石缽。第二個題,是取回蓬萊的五彩玉枝(蓬萊仙島上一根嵌有寶石的樹枝)。第三個題,是尋找唐土的火鼠裘。第四個題,是拿到龍頸上的五色玉。最後一個任務,是找出傳說中燕子的子安貝。在不朽之夜的最後階段,輝夜最終拿到了這五樣神奇的寶物。
流放期滿,月球派來使者們說,月球人已原諒輝夜所犯下的罪行,並決定讓輝夜回到月球。然而,此時的輝夜已逐漸愛上在地球的生活,無意回宮。在她的朋友八意永琳的幫助下,輝夜躲開強大的月宮使者,飛往幻想鄉。她們躲進一處隱藏在竹林深處的古老莊園永遠亭里,並在此開始了新的流放生活。與世隔絕數個世紀之後,輝夜在這裡與妹紅相遇,此時的妹紅也使用了蓬萊藥,成為不死之身,於是二人又開始了無休止的爭鬥,幾乎每天都在相互廝殺。
在不朽之夜異變中,輝夜通過永遠亭將通往月球的長廊連同真正的月亮和自己一起隱藏起來,以免被月球人發現。然而,前去解決異變的巫女們「的確」找到了她,為了讓她將滿月還給幻想鄉而向她挑戰。戰敗後的輝夜釋放了自己全部的不朽之力,想要破壞掉巫女們釋放的符咒。最終,輝夜還是做出了讓步,真正的月亮得以復原。
輝夜現在在永遠亭無憂無慮地度日,偶爾也會在那兒舉辦「月都萬象展」來獲取幻想鄉居民的欽慕。長期的與世隔絕使她感到寂寞無比,所以輝夜很喜歡跟來造訪的任何客人講故事。
有趣事項
- 因為她在永夜亭藏了千年,輝夜常被描寫成屏風後的隱士甚至蟄居族,迴避外界干擾。在惡搞作品中,她常被描寫成NEET族或無業的極客,坐在家裡整天上網。
- 但與上述相反,在东方儚月抄 ~ 月のイナバと地上の因幡中,輝夜是一個想探索永夜亭外部世界的避難者。
- 輝夜和整個永夜抄背景故事的靈感都是來源於日本傳說竹取公主。
- 名字輝夜就意味著光輝之夜晚。蓬萊山則來源於蓬萊神山。 為了找到蓬萊山的位置、逃離危險,也為了能夠欣賞那裡美麗的夜晚(就像有些地方的「賞月」習慣)。蓬萊山上明亮的月光是一種超越塵世的美麗。
- 與十六夜咲夜的名字作比較:「咲夜」意味著綻放之夜,「十六夜」意味著每個陰曆月第十六個夜晚的滿月,也許與月亮與月球居民有關係。輝夜與咲夜都有控制時間的能力。
- 蓬萊山是傳說中一座飄浮在海上的山,山上的住民傳說擁有珍寶,還有不死之藥。不死之藥也是輝夜公主的幾個難題之一。
- Popular nicknames for Kaguya among her fans in Japan are "Teruyo," which is a deliberate mispronunciation of the kanji in her name, and 「ぐや」 ("guya") which is an unusual abbreviation of her first name, ommiting "ka."
- A silhouette of Kaguya occupies the front of Imperishable Night's jewel case.
- Also in Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth, she is depicted as a terrible cook, and as innocent and naive.
- Kaguya and Mokou fight to the death every chance they get. Their relationship has been characterized as a constant "Tom and Jerry" back and forth battle.
- However, in Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth, Kaguya and Mokou's relationship seems much more casual instead—though that might be due to the carefree attitude of the author...
- Kaguya's appearance closely resembles that of Hazuki, the cat-ear-wearing vampire girl from the anime Moon Phase. Because of this, Kaguya is often depicted with cat ears, either real or fake, on her head, even occasionally uttering lines from the anime's opening song, "Neko Mimi Mode". The cat-and-mouse dynamic between her and Mokou adds another layer to this depiction.
- In more serious doujin works, Kaguya is often depicted as having been driven insane or mentally unhinged as a consequence of her long life and inability to die permanently. However, in official works, namely Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth and Cage in Lunatic Runagate, she is described as having a more cheerful and pleasant, if somewhat ditzy, personality, who likes to tease Reisen just like all the cast of Eientei.
- Kaguya is also the name of a Japanese lunar-orbiting probe launched in September 2007 as part of Project SELENE to map the moon's surface. At the time of the launch, fanart depicting Kaguya being "sent back to the moon" aboard the satellite, usually against her will, was popular (one tribute video even superimposed her theme music over footage of the launch of the rocket). The same probe was later intentionally sent crashing into the moon, giving way to a new surge of fanart. (Example)
- Since she is generally acknowledged to be easier than Remilia, Yuyuko and sometimes even her servant Eirin, Kaguya is thought rather weak for a final boss (although most bosses in Imperishable Night are considered easier than those in earlier games, and continues are not allowed against Kaguya, unlike the previous two). As a result, fanworks often depict her as being completely helpless and dependent on Eirin to survive, and her theme song's climactic passage has had the words "Eirin, Eirin, tasukete Eirin!" (Eirin, Eirin, help me Eirin!) set to it by the fans. However, Kaguya has a larger spellcard arsenal than either Remilia or Yuyuko and attacks confidently and without hesitation in the actual game. In addition, considering she was scrapped from Touhou Hisoutensoku for being overpowered, Kaguya being weaker than other bosses might not necessarily be true. Indeed, if one takes the Final A route in Imperishable Night, it is actually Kaguya who aids Eirin for Eirin's final spell card.
- It can be conjectured that Mokou and Kaguya's rivalry symbolizes for the cycle of the Sun and the Moon: Kaguya, the Lunar Princess, and Mokou, who uses as an in-game avatar a fire bird that strongly resembles a phoenix.
- Kaguya was planned to debut as a playable character in Hisoutensoku, but was scrapped from the lineup due to time constraints. ZUN stated in an interview that her moveset as initially designed would have been overpowered and unbalanced the game and there was not enough time to properly balance her strength against the other characters (ironically the same issue was encountered with Mokou, who was also intended to be playable in the game).

書籍摘要
東方文花帖
Aya reports on the "Lunar Capital Expo" being held at Eientei. The event seems to be popular among both the humans and youkai. Throughout the course of her report, Aya subtly hints that some (or possibly all) of the exhibits are fake. Aya then interviews the (self-proclaimed) rabbit from the moon, Reisen, and notes that the line for "moon rabbit" mochi is extremely long. She ends her report with a request that her readers visit the Expo.
In her follow-up, Aya interviews Kaguya on the apparent success of her Lunar Capital Expo, which Kaguya appears to be unsure about doing again. Kaguya explains that her exhibits were mainly antiques from around her house, but when questioned about their age and the authenticity of the stories behind them, won't give a straight answer, saying that people can believe what they want. Kaguya then reveals that her lineage is a long series of dilettantes (NEETs).
