She's got the power to back it up too - with the abilities to manipulate life energy (to the extent where she can even give birth to youkai, such as Aunn Komano), and create doors on the back of anything (essentially, an unlimited teleportation ability), she's a force to be reckoned with and an A+ Tier Friend. That's essentially Okina in a nutshell - she claims to be a secret god, but she's actually an enormous braggart and show-off. In short, Okina herself stayed hidden and kept a low profile until one day, she decided that she simply had to make a dramatic entrance to the public limelight once more, leading to the plot of Hidden Star in Four Seasons. The Ultimate, Absolute Secret God, Okina Matara, is one of the sages of Gensokyo, and is a composite of so many gods it’d make your head spin. The nature of Okina Matara as a god is somewhat similar to the nature of Gensokyo itself.
This is how secret gods are brought about, and this was not at all unusual for the gods of the distant past when everyone was particular about who must worship which exact god. Divine natures overlap, increasing the number of aspects that a single god possesses while hiding the true aspect for which that god was originally worshipped. When specific gods are culled from the pantheon, they are not simply eradicated but absorbed by other gods and continue to live on inside them. An example of something similar can be seen with gods whose different aspects coexist simultaneously―the aspect of the god that is outwardly worshipped at shrines and that which is worshipped in private. She is truly an amalgamation of countless beings of worship. But perhaps her most defining feature is that she has inherited the folk beliefs of different groups of people throughout the ages. She has aspects of gods from Shinto as well as primordial divine spirits, Taoism, and Buddhism. It is hard to think of Okina as a single divine being. Perhaps the other side is a place like an underground oil field filled with an unknown resource or a waiting room backstage that no one knows about. By using this ability on the land of Gensokyo itself, it is theorized that Okina can travel between Gensokyo and the other side. She instigated the past incident by amplifying the divine nature, or temperament, lurking within beings through these back doors. The doors she creates on the backs of everything (the back doors) may serve as entrances, allowing Okina to access that being's hidden information such as its secrets, wild nature, or latent consciousness, etc. Through her two servants, she used this ability to unleash the latent power residing in various beings and objects during a past incident. It is assumed that this world was created and is maintained by Okina's ability. There is a world that exists alongside Gensokyo called the Land of the Back Door, where Okina and her two servants reside.
