Head back to Rinnosuke to get the bike, and then go back to the Human Village and talk to Akyuu. After that you can go south out of the village to the Bamboo Forest.

Short answer: From that list, Satori is latest.

Long answer: In order of appearance, Kokoro shows up very early on, and Byakuren isn't too long after. Iku and Komachi can be found at the same location about a third of the way through the game. Suika can be found about halfway through the game, and Satori comes shortly after.

In terms of rarity, Komachi and Satori are very common for their areas, and Iku and Suika are fairly common. Kokoro and Byakuren are pretty rare, though they're not the hardest to find (Sariel...). If you're willing to spend a bit of time just walking around you can find all of them easily enough. Byakuren also shows up later a lot more frequently, but that's almost at the end of the game.

Bit late, but if you still don't have them, I have all (or almost all) of the Puppet locations along with some rough estimates of encounter rates. If you tell me where to put them I could just type them into the Google spreadsheet myself.

You can release Puppets by talking to Hina, who's in a house that you can reach from one of the extra exits in the first cave of Youkai Mountain (the one you went through when going up to the Moriya Shrine for the first time).

You can rename Puppets by talking to Remilia in her room at the SDM, once you defeat her.

There's no real reason to release Puppets though, since the game gives you so much PC space.

Just confirming some things in case anyone was still wondering:

Mine Trap/Spikes
- Follows the 1/8 (1 layer) -> 1/6 (2 layers) -> 1/4 (3 layers) damage progression
- Cannot hit Puppets that are Wind-type or have Air Cushion

Poison Trap/Toxic Spikes
- Cannot overwrite any existing status effects (this means that it can't inflict Poison if the opponent already has both status slots filled, and it can't inflict Heavy Poison if even one status slot is filled)
- A pre-existing regular Poison status does get worsened to Heavy Poison if only 1 layer is on the field
- However, a pre-existing regular Poison status does not get worsened to Heavy Poison if 2 layers are on the field
- Also cannot hit Puppets that are Wind-type or have Air Cushion

Wakasagihime should be in Misty Lake. Once you get Cut from Eientei, you should be done with the area. The exit to Misty Lake and the SDM is at the northern side of Route 5; there's trees blocking the way that you need Cut for.
