Description
Koumei Shokatsuryo, also known as Koumei or Crouching Dragon, hails from the Tougenen temple, raised by tiger generals. There, she cultivated fishing skills and forged loyal bonds with Youjou Bashoku and Shiryuu Chou-un. Her soul history links her to Shu's legendary master strategist Zhuge Liang, famed for orchestrating victory at the Battle of Red Cliffs, including conjuring wind to destroy enemy ships. This past life shapes her role as a key strategist throughout the series.

Physically, Koumei possesses long light-green hair styled in twin pigtails secured by red beads. She typically wears Tougenen monk attire. Her height is 143 cm, with measurements of 60-48-58, blue eyes, and blood type AB. She wields a hand fan as her weapon and holds a C-rank Toushi designation.

Koumei presents an emotionless facade, rarely displaying smiles or anger, yet harbors underlying care, particularly for Gentoku Ryuubi, whom she comforts during attacks. She exhibits possessiveness over Gentoku, asserting ownership, such as preventing others from bathing with her. Koumei expresses fascination with the size and softness of Gentoku's breasts, openly comparing them with others in OVAs. Her hobbies are fishing and sleeping; fishing scenes showcase her expertise, like catching over one hundred fish to onlookers' astonishment.

Her strategic prowess drives multiple arcs. In Dragon Destiny, she manipulates conflicts, turning Moutoku Sousou's forces against Nanyo to buy time for Seito. She orchestrates the surrender of the Dragon Jade to Nanyo to secure an alliance and masterminds the recreation of the Battle of Red Cliffs to save Seito. During this battle, she awakens Zhuge Liang's spirit within, confronts rival Chuutatsu Shibai, and mocks Kyosho fighters to provoke conflict. Koumei remains beside Gentoku throughout, witnessing Sousou's defeat by Hakufu and Gentoku.

In later seasons and OVAs like Great Guardians, XTREME XECUTOR, Western Wolves, and the 2022 Shin Ikki Tousen OVA, Koumei continues as Seito's strategist, operating behind the scenes during events like the Anti-Toutaku conference. Her loyalty to Gentoku remains steadfast, guiding Seito's political and military maneuvers.

Trivia notes her self-declared "weakness" as Gentoku Ryuubi, signifying deep affection. Koumei is depicted as a genius intellect and reliable strategist, occasionally overshadowed by childlike naivety. She possesses knowledge of herbal medicine and household chores. In alternate media like Koihime†Musou, she appears as a timid "Hawawa Strategist," separate from her Ikki Tousen portrayal. Her development consistently emphasizes her bond with Gentoku, strategic indispensability to Seito, and the tension between her emotionless exterior and hidden loyalty.
