About this index

The Classic Ukagaka Ghost Index is an English-language, independent catalogue of ghosts from Ukagaka’s formative years. It exists to help English-speaking visitors recognize the characters, understand where they came from, find surviving authorized downloads, and discover carefully documented English translations when they exist.

Why 2000–2007?

This index concentrates on ghosts first released—or independently documented as existing—from 2000 through 2007. The boundary keeps the project focused on the early culture and artwork rather than attempting to catalogue every later development. Later updates and authorized redistributions still belong in a classic ghost’s record.

Sources and uncertainty

Dates, names, credits, images, and download claims are attached to sources wherever possible. Original creator pages and packages are preferred, followed by contemporary indexes, archived pages, and clearly identified preservation sources. Conflicting or missing details are recorded as uncertain instead of being silently inferred. Japanese names are accompanied by romanization only when the intended reading can be verified.

Artwork

Artwork is central to recognizing a ghost. Record pages therefore show an official image when one survives, or a clearly credited historical screenshot when it does not. Captions identify the image’s origin and any display-only processing, such as hiding an old shell’s transparency-key color.

Downloads

This site does not mirror ghost files. It links to original or authorized distribution pages and distinguishes them from third-party preservation copies. When a directly downloadable historical package is inspected, its filename, size, checksum, and relevant safety context may be recorded. Availability does not mean that old Windows software is safe or compatible with a modern computer.

English translations

Translation availability is researched separately for each ghost. The index distinguishes official or creator-permitted patches from unofficial fan translations and machine-translation tools. “None verified” means that this project has not yet found a sufficiently documented English release; it does not prove that no translation exists.

Independent project

This is an independent historical catalogue. It is not an official Ukagaka, SSP, MATERIA, ghost-author, or character-rightsholder project.
