Himekaidou Hatate is a tengu reporter and crow tengu journalist from the Touhou Project series. She is known for running her own photo-based newspaper and for using a camera to gather information rather than relying on direct interviews. Hatate is portrayed as a somewhat lazy but clever rival to Aya Shameimaru, often competing with her in the field of gossip and news. Her role in the series highlights the competitive, humorous world of tengu journalism and the social dynamics of Gensokyo.
