This is a list of the characters that belong to the Touhou Project, a series of games by ZUN from Team Shanghai Alice. Most Touhou characters reside in a fictional realm called Gensokyo, where humans and youkai coexist. Though the youkai do often prey on the humans while the humans try to exorcise them, no racial animosity actually exists between the two. The characters also have unique abilities.

All characters except the two main protagonists (Reimu and Marisa) are listed by the first game of their appearance. Additionally, some characters are grouped together because of the official terminology used for them through the series (e.g. Tsukumo Sisters).

Protagonists
Reimu is the main character of the Touhou Project along with Marisa Kirisame. As the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, she manages the Hakurei Border of Gensokyo and exterminates troublesome youkai. Marisa is an ordinary human magician who specializes in light and heat magic and currently resides in the Forest of Magic. Her motto is: "It ain't magic if it ain't flashy. Danmaku's all about firepower," and she has a compulsive mania for collecting things. She's considered to be one of the protagonists of the Touhou Project, with the other protagonist being Reimu Hakurei. In the PC-98 canon, she first meets Reimu while being a servant of Mima, and regards her as an enemy.

Highly Responsive to Prayers
Shingyoku appears as Reimu approaches the gates to Hell and Makai, where the two battle. Next to nothing is known about this enemy, as it does not exchange dialog with Reimu and has no official profile. It has three forms: a ying-yang orb, a priestess and a priest. YuugenMagan is a being that Reimu encounters in Makai after entering through the gate. Like the other characters in the game, there is no information regarding this enemy. Shown on its sprite, it is a hovering set of five independently-moving eyes, connected by electricity and surrounded by strange markings. Elis is a devil of some kind that Reimu encounters while in Makai's Ruins of Vina. Sariel is an angel of death that Reimu encounters deep within Makai in the Fallen Shrine. Sariel is the final enemy Reimu confronts there before returning to her shrine. Mima is a vengeful spirit that haunts the area around the Hakurei Shrine in the PC-98 canon. Though she is called an evil spirit, she is not the same variety as the ones that appear in Subterranean Animism and Wild and Horned Hermit. She is, in reality, extremely strong, and she is very confident in her combat and magical abilities. Originally, she is sealed in the hokora attached to the shrine, but she manages to repeatedly break free of the seal. She also appears in Story of Eastern Wonderland as the final boss. Kikuri is a large bronze disc with an image of a girl engraved into it that Reimu meets and must defeat, in which she's the Stage 15 boss on the Hell route. Konngara is a being that Reimu encounters deep within Hell, at the Silent Shrine. Konngara is the final enemy Reimu confronts there before returning to her shrine.

Story of Eastern Wonderland
Genjii is a turtle that lives at the Hakurei Shrine. His magical abilities have granted him a long life and the ability to fly, and as cannot fly under her own power prior to The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, he is used as a platform for Reimu to fly on. Rika is a tank engineer that appears in Stage 1 and the Extra Stage. Being the boss of those stages, she creates a large number of monsters and starts hanging around the Hakurei Shrine while Reimu is away. It is unclear why she decided to do this. Meira is a mysterious female samurai that attacks Reimu on Stage 2, being the boss of that stage. Believing that by defeating the Shrine Maiden in battle, she'll gain the powers of the Hakurei Shrine, she attempts to beat Reimu, but she fails and escapes, where Reimu wanted to bury her.

Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream
Ellen is an eternally young witch. She lives longer than the average human (it's possible that she is immortal), but most memories of her life completely leave her mind in blocks at a time, making her as childish as she looks. It's assumed that she is not a human. She has a cat named Sokrates. Kotohime is a character who is supposed to be a princess, but has an odd personality. Everyone who meets her thinks there's something slightly weird about her, even if those people are strange themselves. She also calls herself a police officer, and is a collector of things only she thinks are interesting and doesn't go out much. Kana is a poltergeist produced by a mentally unstable girl. She has been haunting a certain mansion for a very long time now; with the people who live there no longer scared of her, she wanders over to the Probability Space Hypervessel to participate in battle. Rikako is among the few people in Gensokyo who values science more than magic, though she can use both. Because of this, she's regarded as a heretic by Reimu. Chiyuri is a graduate school alumnus from the outside world and Yumemi's assistant who helps her to collect data on magic. She follows Yumemi into Gensokyo on the Probability Space Hypervessel in order to further that goal. Yumemi is a college professor searching for the mysterious power of magic so that she can study it and bring her findings back to the scientific community. When she arrives in Gensokyo, her ship, the Probability Space Hypervessel, is mistaken for some ordinary ruins by the inhabitants. She attempts to kidnap the heroine to use her as a research subject, but is ultimately defeated and sent home empty-handed. Yumemi is unfamiliar with both the magical and religious matters of Gensokyo, so she refers to Reimu's power as magic, even when Reimu insists that it's actually divine power. Ruukoto is the robot maid that Reimu requested in the ending of the game. Although she is enthusiastic about doing chores, she isn't very good at doing them. She is also nuclear powered.

Lotus Land Story
Orange is a youkai that appears in the mountains during the first stage. Reimu or Marisa, depending on which the player picked, easily defeats her either because she's a youkai or because she's generally being a pain. Kurumi is a vampire and the gatekeeper to the entrance of the Lake of Blood at the center of a mountain. During the game, she is defeated by both Reimu and Marisa on their way to Mugenkan. Why she guards the entrance to the lake, and the "gate" she is referring to, are unknown. Elly is a character whose role is being the gatekeeper of Mugenkan, which is on the border between the Fantasy World and the real world. It's so rare that people come there that she is rather surprised when both Reimu and Marisa show up one after another, and she fails miserably to stop either of them from entering. She blames it on the long time it has been since she last fought as she says she's really strong. She is the third stage boss. Yuuka was the one behind the events of the game, where she sent youkai to destroy the Hakurei Shrine because she had "spare time." In the middle of night, since she was suddenly challenged to fight, she showed up with a pink negligee and nightcap, accepting the challenge. As a matter of fact, since Reimu started out at noon and Marisa started out at night, it is questionable whether the stage is actually in the middle of night. Afterwards when she was defeated, she didn't appear to be defeated and ran off, but when she fought again on the sixth stage, she showed up with the appearance similar to her Windows counterpart. Not affected at all by her sudden wake-up and fight, she said "come back again" in Marisa's arc, proving that her previous battle showed that she weren't going all-out. She was able to clone herself, turn into a ball of light and throw red windmills. After the two long battles, she was finally exterminated. Mugetsu is the first Extra Stage boss and possibly the creator of a mysterious dream world. She appears to be dressed as a maid of some sort. Gengetsu is the second Extra Stage boss and an inhabitant of the mysterious dream world. She's the older sister of Mugetsu.

Mystic Square
Sara is a being residing in the mountain cave that houses the gateway into Makai. During the events of the game, Sara attempted to prevent the heroine from entering Makai, referring to Reimu as "prey." Because she is officially the gatekeeper of the door to Makai, it was her job to keep the heroines out. However, she was easily defeated. Louise was one of the many demons coming out of Makai into Gensokyo. Although she denied it at first, she really did want to go to the human world. However, she had the bad luck of running into the heroine inside the border space between Gensokyo and Makai before making it out into the human world and was defeated. Alice appeared in the game as the Stage 3 boss. She showed up as a magician who looks quite young, who confronted the heroine invading into a town within Makai with the help of her living dolls (or fairies) while using a barrier. In fact, she was the first boss the heroine met after entering Makai. On the Extra Stage, she appeared as "Alice of the Land of Magic" and fought with five colours: red, blue, purple, yellow, and green. Yuki is a witch who resides in Makai. Together with Mai she serves as one of two bosses in the fourth stage. Yuki is the more vocal of the two. Mai is a witch who resides in Makai. Together with Yuki she serves as one of two bosses in the fourth stage. Mai is the quieter of the two, but also seems to believe that she is stronger; if Yuki is defeated first, Mai will claim Yuki was just holding her back. Yumeko is Shinki's maid who can be found in Makai's Pandæmonium. After the heroine reaches Shinki during the events of the game, Yumeko interrupts and insists that Shinki allow her to handle the intruder herself. Although polite towards her mistress Shinki, Yumeko regards the heroine with disdain. Shinki is the creator of Makai, a world of demons whose entrance is located near the Hakurei Shrine in a mountain cave. She describes herself as a god.

The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
Rumia is a youkai who has the physical appearance of a young girl. She has blond hair, red eyes, wears black clothing, and her hair is wrapped in a red ribbon. This ribbon is an ofuda, and Rumia herself cannot touch it. Her ability is to create a sphere of night around her, but as it impedes her own vision significantly, it is not useful in combat. She usually spends her days fluttering around aimlessly. Daiyousei is a greater fairy who lives around the Misty Lake near the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Like other fairies, she's cheerful and mischievous, simple and emotional. Little is known about her. Her name is unofficial, and she was given the nickname "Daiyousei" (lit. Great Fairy). ZUN later attributed her as bright, playful, and full of expressions. Cirno is the Stage 2 boss and a playable character in Touhou Hisounteosku and Fairy Wars. She is an ice fairy that lives on the lake surrounding the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Although she is weak from the players' perspective, she is one of the strongest of her kind in Gensokyo. Her hobby is freezing frogs and watching them revive as they thaw, but she tends to shatter them instead by accident. Unlike Letty Whiterock, she radiates cold air year-round, and can stay awake even in spring and summer. Meirin is the Stage 3 boss. She is a Chinese girl serving as the door guard of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Canonically, she is known to be a humanoid youkai who practices martial arts, but is generally friendly towards humans. However, as Japanese fans find it hard to remember her name and it was initially unclear whether the kanji should be read as Japanese or Chinese, she is often referred to just as "Chugoku" (meaning China). In Touhou Hisoutensoku, she is reintroduced as a playable character with her own storyline. She has aqua-colored eyes and long, scarlet hair that symbolizes both her name and the place that she's guarding. Koakuma is a devil that is believed to be Patchouli's assistant. Similar to Daiyousei, she received no character profile in the game and was named "Koakuma" (lit. Little Devil) by fans. However, she is quite popular considering her status, more so than some of the lesser liked stage bosses. ZUN later described her to be like Daiyousei - whimsical, enjoys pranks, and doesn't think before doing. He also added that while devils are powerful as vampires and magicians, Koakuma is a rather weak one, hence "little devil." Patchouli is the Stage 4 boss and a playable character in Immaterial and Missing Power and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. She is a scholar who is a friend of Remilia Scarlet's. She resides in the library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and is the de facto librarian. In fact, she rarely leaves it and is somewhat of a hikikomori. She has command over the seven elements (which the Japanese days of the week are named after, making her the "one-week Wizard") and is in theory an extremely powerful magician. However, her constitution is very poor and asthma often prevents her from reciting her spells. She has a tenuous relationship with Marisa, who tends to carry off her books without asking. Sakuya is the Stage 5 boss, and a playable character in games 7-9, 10.5, 12.3, and 14. She is the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She is the only human living in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She essentially takes the position of managing the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She uses humble speech to her mistress Remilia Scarlet and friend Patchouli Knowledge, and uses less formal speech to other people. As for her age, ZUN directly stated that "she plays the role of a human maid about 10-20 years old" and "perhaps she is a character in her early teens, and in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, according to Hieda no Akyuu, "she claims to be in her late teens." She possesses an ability to manipulate time. She also has a great amount of silver throwing knives and is skilled at handling them, and with only her ability to manipulate time, she is skilled in conjuring knives from nowhere.

 * Cirno (チルノ)
 * Hong Meirin (紅 美鈴)
 * Koakuma (小悪魔)
 * Patchouli Knowledge (パチュリー・ノーレッジ)
 * Sakuya Izayoi (十六夜 咲夜)

She was not born in Gensokyo, and the name "Sakuya Izayoi" was given to her by Remilia Scarlet. In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Akyuu guessed that she might have originally been a vampire hunter. At the time of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she merely worked at the Scarlet Devil Mansion in return for food. Continuing in Imperishable Night, she did not worry at all about the clothing, food or housing and felt satisfied. Remilia is the Final Stage boss, and a playable character in games 7.5, 8, 10.5 and 12.3. Remilia is the vampiric mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion who claims to be descended from Vlad III Dracula, although she is not. She is known as the Scarlet Devil as when she feeds, the blood of her victims stains her dress red. Apart from her unpleasant needs, she is hardly malicious enough to deserve such a title; merely childish, even though she is over five hundred years old. Although being a vampire is normally a lonely life, she has a good relationship with her many employees (including Sakuya and Meirin). Reimu is one of the few humans who tolerates her, and Remilia seems quite fond of her in turn. Marisa also gets along with her in exchange for access to her library. Her power is the control of fate (which has never been overtly demonstrated in the games). Flandre is the Extra Stage boss and Remilia's little sister. She is not allowed to leave the mansion because of her. Despite this, she likes her sister and doesn't usually try to escape. Most vampires hold back somewhat when fighting humans, as they plan to keep them alive and feed from them later, but Flandre was always fed prepared dishes and does not know her food comes from humans. Thus, when fighting them, she does not hesitate and incinerates them without a second thought.
 * Remilia Scarlet (レミリア・スカーレット)
 * Flandre Scarlet (フランドール・スカーレット)

Her theme music, "U.N. オーエン は彼女なのか? (U.N. Owen Was Her?)" was based on the book And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. "U.N. Owen" was a mysterious figure known to scheme people in the novel.

Perfect Cherry Blossom
Letty is a yuki-onna, who is also the Stage 1 boss. She possesses an ability to manipulate chilliness. According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, since this is equivalent to an ability that manipulates the winter within nature, she possesses tremendous power according to the environment, but she is powerless outside of winter. In Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, Letty herself said that outside of winter, she hides away in a place where not a ray of sunlight can reach. Chen is the Stage 2 boss and Extra Stage midboss. She has two tails and is a bakeneko youkai. She is also Ran Yakumo's shikigami, but since Ran herself is a shikigami of Yukari Yakumo, she is a "shikigami of a shikigami" from Yukari's viewpoint. Chen, as a bakeneko, acquires powers of a wrathful god while possessed, but since the one of whom she is a shikigami of, Ran, is also a shikigami, her ability is fairly low. This shikigami possession is removed when she is soaked in water, and since she also hates water as a cat, she is in any case weak to water. She ordinarily lives in Youkai Mountain. In Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, she made the village of cats and tried to stand as the leader, but the progress has been unfavorable. Alice is a doll-controlling magician who lives in her home in the Forest of Magic near the home of Marisa Kirisame. She is the Windows version of Alice, whom originated in Mystic Square, a PC-98 game. In appearance, she has blond hair and has pale skin, and at one glance she has the appearance of a doll. According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Alice was originally a human, and upon completion of some training, she became a magician. It has not been long since the day she has become a magician, and because of this, it seems like she still continues human habits like eating and sleeping that were originally not necessary. As her specialty is making dolls, she is also able to manipulate a great amount of dolls at the same time. She is able to make her dolls move pretty much any way humans can, and other than that she can make multiple dolls perform different actions, sometimes making them cooperate and sometimes making them move completely asynchronously, such that to onlookers around her, it might not seem like she is manipulating them.
 * Letty Whiterock (レティ・ホワイトロック)
 * Chen (橙)
 * Alice Margatroid (アリス・マーガトロイド)

According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, she does not perform the usual act of attacking humans, but unexpectedly likes fights and upon receiving a challenge to do battle, gladly accepts. As she manipulates a great number of combat dolls, the challenger is likely to be highly outnumbered, making a difficult battle inevitable, but since she has her hands full with manipulating the dolls, that is her weakness. Since she does not find it enjoyable to win battles with overwhelming power, she usually fights with power that is a little more than that of the opponent. Also, since it would be the end of the ropes if she was defeated while putting forth her true power, she does not give it her all in fights, which is similar in personality to Reimu Hakurei.

In the character settings text for Imperishbable Night, it was written that she was an indoors type who was often alone, but in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, the range of her place of activities is set to "any kind of place" in Gensokyo, and she also appeared in front of people in times of festivals to exhibit her skill with dolls. In each ending of Imperishable Night and Immaterial and Missing Power, she participated in banquets at the Hakurei Shrine. She also said things that hinted that she sometimes visits the library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Lily White is a fairy that heralds the arrival of spring. However, since she expresses herself with danmaku rather than words, her announcement is usually seen as a hostile attack. She is the first midboss in the series to receive an official character profile. In the "Muenzuka" stage of Phantasmasgoria of Flower View, a black version of Lily White shows up instead of the normal version. Fans have named her Lily Black, and gave her a darker character as opposed to the cheerful Lily White. It was later revealed by ZUN that Lily was cosplaying as Sikieiki. The Prismriver Sisters are the bosses of Stage 4. They are poltergeists in the shape of three sisters. They were originally daughters of a human noble, but an unfortunate event caused his four daughters to separate. The fourth daughter, Layla, was unable to leave the mansion that held so many of her memories. Using her power, she conjured poltergeists with the appearance of her older sisters, then slowly became forgotten along with the mansion and the poltergeists. Even though the humans died with the passage of time, the poltergeists continue their noisy lives in that mansion to this day. The three Prismriver Sisters, now musical performers of some note, were employed by Yuyuko Saigyouji to provide entertainment for the upcoming flower-viewing. The protagonists encounter them at the gate to the netherworld.
 * Lily White (リリーホワイト)
 * Prismriver Sisters (プリズムリバー三姉妹)
 * Lunasa Prismriver (ルナサ・プリズムリバー)
 * The eldest of the Prismriver Sisters. She plays the violin and prefers solo performances. Honest to a fault, she is perhaps the most well-adjusted of the sisters. The player fights her first if the player is playing as Reimu.
 * Merlin Prismriver (メルラン・プリズムリバー)
 * The middle child of the Prismriver Sisters. She plays the trumpet. Her magic is the strongest of the three sisters, but her technique is not very good. Despite this, she is cheerful and tends to obsess over things. The player fight her first if the player is playing as Sakuya.
 * Lyrica Prismriver (リリカ・プリズムリバー)
 * The youngest of the poltergeist Prismriver Sisters. Although skilled with all instruments, she prefers keyboard and percussion. She is clever and manipulative, usually goading her older sisters into doing her fighting rather than engaging in battle herself. The player fights her first if the player is playing as Marisa.

Youmu is the Stage 5 boss and Stage 6 midboss; in addition, she is a playable character in games 7.5-9, 10.5, 12.3 and 13 as well. Youmu is, as a gardener attached to the Saigyouji family and the bodyguard of Yuyuko Saigyouji, a swordsperson of a two sword school of fencing. One sword is the Roukanken, which possesses power to kill ten yuurei in one slice, which she carries from her left shoulder to her right waist, and she carries the Hakurouken on her left waist, which slices through people's confusion. The longer sword is the Roukanken, and it has been conveyed that it was forged by youkai. The shorter sword is the Hakurouken, which seems to be the heirloom of the Konpaku family. According to the Saigyouji family, Youmu is the second generation to take her position, the former generation being Youki Konpaku. Youki was Youmu's fencing shisho (instructor). Youmu is also Yuyuko's sword instructor, but she is fundamentally treated as a gardener.
 * Youmu Konpaku (魂魄 妖夢)

As she is a mixture of human and yuurei, she has a half-human half-yokai existence, and the large yuurei that always follows her is the yuurei half of her body. In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Youmu (the one taking the appearance as a girl) was treated as "half-human half-yuurei," and the yuurei was treated as "yuurei," and it was supposed that Youmu (the half-human half-yuurei) manipulates the yuurei consciously. Youmu has a lower body temperature compared to normal humans and a higher body temperature compared to normal yuurei. In the Imperishable Night manual, it was written, "she has two kinds of body: human and yuurei," showing Youmu to be "human" and the yuurei to be "yuurei." Yuyuko is the Final Stage boss, and also a playable character in games 7.5, 8, 10.5 and 12.3 and the Stage 1 boss of Ten Desires. Yuyuko is the princess of the netherworld pagoda, Hakugyokuro. She is a ghost, but unlike most of her kind, looks entirely human. She was a human, cursed with the power to bring death to others; this ability caused her to eventually commit suicide using her life to seal away an ancient evil residing in a youkai cherry blossom tree. Living in the netherworld, she doesn't socialize much with the rest of Gensokyo. Her only friend from outside is Yukari. Her family name Saigyouji suggests relations with the famed poet Saigyo. Yuyuko, at first appearance, is a ditz; her mental processes seem to be dedicated mainly to teasing her gardener and servant, Youmu, and anticipating her next meal. However, her usual manner conceals a sharp mind and an almost prenatural depth of insight. For instance, she was the only one to perceive what sort of being Huziwara no Mokou was at first sight. Yuyuko has the power to invoke death in any mortal; however, she uses it rarely and with discretion. Ran is the Extra Stage boss and Phantasm Stage midboss. She is a nine-tailed fox youkai whom Yukari Yakumo made her shikigami. She is considerably powerful even without her master's support; among other things, she uses this power to maintain her own shikigami, Chen. Since Yukari sleeps twelve hours a day, she handles the work during these times. Yukari is the Phantasm Stage boss, and playable in games 7.5, 8, 10.5 and 12.3. Yukari is an elder youkai who dwells on the border of Gensokyo, and may predate the existence of the realm itself. She is also good friend of Yuyuko's and an acquaintance of Reimu's. She is the self-appointed stewardess of the seal between Gensokyo and the outside world, but doesn't do a particularly good job of it. Most of the time, she is asleep, leaving all the work to her shikigami Ran and Ran's shikigami Chen. When she isn't, she tends to amuse herself by pulling in unprepared humans from the outside world and stranding them in Gensokyo. Her ability is the manipulation of boundaries, and this is in terms of the physical and metaphorical. And such boundaries distinguish her spell cards. Often, though, she just summons her shikigami and various others to create her danmaku for her.

Immaterial and Missing Power
Suika is a girl who insists that she is an oni, even though Gensokyo supposedly doesn't have any. Suika and Yugi Hoshiguma were once part of the four devas of the mountains, long ago before the oni retreated underground. As an oni, she loves drinks, feasts, and competition. Despite her small size, she is strong in strength, speed, and mystic powers; she is also several hundred years old. Using her ability to control density, she can gather people to form a banquet, or she can scatter herself to become mist. In Immaterial and Missing Power, she made the residents of Gensokyo have feasts one night after another, intending to draw the joyous oni from hiding.
 * Suika Ibuki (伊吹 萃香)

Imperishable Night
Wriggle is the Stage 1 boss. Insects collect around her, and so she often can be seen in the middle of a swarm of insects. With her powers, she can manipulate the flickerings of fireflies with timed synchronicity, or summon swarms of poisonous insects to kill an enemy. Like insects, she is afraid of pesticides and the cold. In-game, she is seen wearing a cape and pant-like bloomers, which led fans to believe she was a boy. Mystia is a night sparrow with an outgoing egocentric personality that enjoys infusing confusion and terror into the hearts of humans using her ability: a song that creates confusion in those who hear her. Her song seems to attract nearby monsters as well. She roams the Youkai Trail near the Human Village that Keine tries to protect, in search of humans to frighten. She is indeed feared by the locals as people around her become blinded by darkness. Keine is the Stage 3 boss. Although half-human and half-beast, she appears perfectly human except during the full moon, when she grows horns. She was not born with therianthropy, and only became a were-hakutaku due to an unknown incident. She loves humans, and considers it her duty to protect the human village, by consuming the village's history to hide it when malicious youkai pass by; her special ability. However, she is trigger-happy and sometimes mistakes ordinary travelers for such malicious yōkai. Keine opened a terakoya in the village and spends her time teaching children and compiling historical records. She seems to be good friends with Mokou. Tewi is the leader of the many youkai rabbits that live at and guard Eientei. She is also considered to be the leader of all the earth rabbits; it's said that there is not a single youkai rabbit unknown to her, and that all of them will only ever listen to her. Despite her childish appearance, she is very old (at least 1,300 years old). Reisen is Stage 5 boss and playable character in games 9, 10.5, 12.3, and 15. As she is a moon rabbit, she came to Gensokyo about 30 years ago to escape a war between the Earth and the Moon. Since then, she has been an apprentice to Eirin, a pet to Kaguya, and a caretaker to Tewi. She has the power to drive people mad with her eyes - mainly in the form of hallucinations - as well as communicate telepathically with her kind. She also has control over waves of all kinds, such as light waves, brainwaves, electromagnetic waves, as well as sound waves, demonstrated during her story in Phantasmagoria of Flower View. "Udongein" and "Inaba" are both nicknames, the first given her by Eirin and the second Kaguya; the latter is what Kaguya calls all rabbits. Despite her power over insanity, Reisen is portrayed as one of the most level-headed and serious characters in the series. Eirin is the boss of Final Stage A and midboss of Final Stage B. A genius pharmacist who once lived on the moon. Kaguya persuaded her to produce the forbidden Hourai Elixir - the elixir of life - and consumed it. They were found out, and Kaguya alone was punished and was sent to the Earth, a fact which Eirin always felt guilty about. Some time later, the moon court pardoned Kaguya's sins and summoned her back. Eirin and a handful of emissaries were sent to retrieve her, but Eirin found out that Kaguya didn't want to return to the moon. Acting out of her past guilt, Eirin betrayed and murdered all the other emissaries under the eyes of the earthlings who had fostered Kaguya. Eirin bribed the earthlings with the Hourai Elixir, in order to keep them silent, and went into hiding with Kaguya in Gensokyo. She is based on the Japanese goddess Omoikane. Kaguya is the Final Stage boss of the game. Kaguya is actually the Princess Kaguya from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. A princess of the moon, after consuming the forbidden Hourai Elixir and becoming immortal, she was punished by being exiled to live on the Earth. Later, she was pardoned and ordered to return to the moon. However, she preferred her common life on Earth to that as a princess on the moon. Eirin helped her escape the emissaries, and the two went into hiding in Gensokyo. Recently, she has been selling Yagokoro medicine and hosting exhibitions showing various items from the moon. Mokou is the Extra Stage boss. Mokou was the daughter of a nobleman (assumed to be Fujiwara no Fuhito), one of Kaguya's suitors during her initial exile on Earth. When he was humiliated by Kaguya's impossible request, Mokou came to hate her. She wanted to take revenge, but Kaguya disappeared before she was able, so she consoled herself by stealing the Hourai Elixir that Eirin had bribed the other humans with, and drinking it to become immortal. No longer able to fit into human society, she lived as a wanderer and eventually found her way to Gensokyo. There, she was amazed to find that Kaguya was also a fugitive. The two still detest each other, killing one another and reincarnating in a daily ritual. However, Mokou is ecstatic that her eternal enemy is a fugitive like her, and that one who can never die is not such an unspeakable abomination in Gensokyo (though she still leads a solitary life). Indeed, she has found her paradise. Mokou is able to reincarnate indefinitely, even if her body is destroyed — though she still feels pain. She has control over the flames of the phoenix.

Phantasmagoria of Flower View
Aya is a playable character in games 9, 9.5 (the first one to be the sole main character of a Touhou game other than Reimu), 10.5, 12.3, as well as the Stage 4 boss in Mountain of Faith. She is a reporter and photographer who runs Gensokyo's one-woman newspaper, the Bunbunmaru Shinbun. She has a serious character, at odds with her reporting; she loves rumors and her newspaper is filled with gossip about the girls of Gensokyo, sometimes on the verge of being a tabloid. To Reimu's irritation, however, she rejects the stories of a certain miko saving Gensokyo as unverifiable. Not one to show off, she rarely fights of her own volition, though she has contempt for those she thinks are weak. As a tengu, she has power over the wind and is the most skilled flier in all of Gensokyo. Medicine is an abandoned doll who turned into a youkai after years of exposure to the poisonous lily of the valleys. She advocates for doll emancipation (despite the fact that she is the only one capable of free will) and dislikes humans because of their manipulation of dolls. For this, Sikieiki judged her to be "too narrow in outlook." Perhaps affected by this statement, she made friends with Eirin Yagokoro, though she still wishes for the liberation of dolls. Her name may originate from A Medicine for Melancholy by Ray Bradbury. In addition to her attacks, she also spews poisonous mists on the battlefield, slowing the player's movement when the player comes in contact with the mists. Returning from Lotus Land Story, she is the second PC-98 character to appear in the Windows games, after Alice Margatroid. She loves seasonal flowers, so throughout the year she moves to the respective places where the flowers grow. She has lived long enough to witness several major flower-blooming outbreaks, an event that only occurs once every sixty years, leading Sikieiki to comment that she "had lived a little too long." Similar to her PC-98 self, she is the slowest playable character in the game. In her conversation with Tewi Inaba, it is said that her umbrella is the only flower in Gensokyo that never wilts. Komachi is widely known in Gensokyo for being a slacker shinigami and a slow worker. She is Sikieiki's subordinate. Her conversation topics often revolve around death, suicide, the afterlife, and other related horror, but considering the nature of her job, this is perhaps not surprising. In general, she's a rather carefree individual. Sikieiki is one of the Yama who judge the dead and decide whether they go to Heaven, Hell, the Netherworld, or get reincarnated. She currently resides in Hell. Whether it's because she simply has a habit of lecturing or because she genuinely wants others to change for the better, she's become well known in Gensokyo for lecturing anyone and everyone about their faults. The souls of the dead are brought to her by Komachi, who ferries them over the Sanzu River to Higan.

Mountain of Faith
Shizuha is the goddess of autumn leaves and thus have to power to control the turning of the leaves. She is Minoriko's older sister and together they have the ability to control autumn. She disappears when winter arrives. Minoriko is Stage 1 boss and the younger sister of Shizuha. As a harvest goddess, she is invited as a special guest to the harvest festival in the Human Village every year. If she isn't invited, then a good harvest cannot be guaranteed for that year. The fragrance of the harvest is her perfume, and with it, she feels superior to her elder sister. Like her sister, she disappears when winter comes. Hina is the Stage 2 boss. She is the head of the Nagashihina army, where Nagashihina refers to the dolls being drifted down the river in a ritual to cast away one's sins and misfortunes. As such, Hina is surrounded by curses and those who encounter her will run into misfortune. Despite this, Hina has good intentions and does not wish to have misfortune befall humans again. She is often spinning and her attacks are characterized as spirals. Nitori is the Stage 3 boss and playable character in games 11 (teamed with Marisa), 13.5, and 14.5. She is an engineer with an interest in humans, she believes that the kappa and the humans were ancient allies. The kappa of the Touhou universe are described as a race with advanced technology, demonstrated when the shy Nitori uses optical camouflage to conceal herself from the humans. As an engineer, she likes to take things apart and reassemble them again, so her clothes are packed with tools for this purpose. Momizi is a white wolf tengu whose duty is to patrol the Youkai Mountain. Her good sense of smell and sight are helpful for this duty. Momiji does not have an official game portrait, only a sprite from Mountain of Faith, Double Spoiler and Impossible Spell Card. However, she does have some appearances in print works. Sanae is a human, but is also a distant descendant of the goddess Suwako Moriya. Her role at the Moriya Shrine is similar to a shrine maiden, but with her inherited power Sanae has also become a minor deity herself. Originally from the Outside World, Sanae migrated to Gensokyo with the shrine and its two resident goddesses, Kanako and Suwako. As a result, she is rather knowledgeable about the outside world and modern living, although her attempts to explain scientific concepts usually just confuse the locals. Her knowledge on things like the youkai of Gensokyo, on the other hand, seems a bit lacking for a shrine maiden. Kanako is the Stage 6 boss. Officially, she is a goddess of mountain who inhabits the Moriya Shrine. But, in reality, she is a goddess of wind and rain. She is based on the Japanese god Yasakatome no Mikoto. As faith in gods in the outside world declined, she decided to move the Moriya Shrine to Gensokyo's Yōkai Mountain, rather than simply be forgotten and fade away. She quickly acquired faith from the yōkai on the mountain - though some would just call it friendship. To acquire the faith of the humans and youkai living elsewhere in Gensokyo as well, she sent her priestess Sanae to the Hakurei Shrine. She wears a snake-patterned shimenawa as her trademark, symbolizing her victory over Suwako long ago, in addition to removable pillars on her back. In the events before Subterranean Animism, she was the one that sent the Yatagarasu to Utsuho Reiuzi, so Kanako and Suwako could start their Mountain Industrial Revolution project using nuclear fusion power with the kappa. Suwako is the Extra Stage boss; a girl with a frog motif. She is the true goddess of the Moriya Shrine, and was once the leader of Mishaguji, but was later defeated by Kanako. However, the people of her kingdom still feared Mishaguji and were unable to accept Kanako as their new goddess. The two created a false god, "Moriya", from which they could both gather faith. And thus Kanako borrowed Suwako's powers, and silently ruled as the goddess of mountain. Already long forgotten in the outside world, Suwako was untroubled as her faith slowly declined, but accompanied Kanako to Gensokyo nonetheless - despite their history, and their frequent disagreements, the two are good friends. She and Cirno are seen to be enemies, as Cirno freezes frogs, much to Suwako's annoyance.

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody
Iku is a messenger of the Dragon Palace, whose job is to observe the daily mood of the atmosphere. She sometimes questions why humans and youkai fight/duel as a part of their daily life. Tenshi is the "eldest daughter" of the Hinanai clan, as referred to by Iku. Having lived a sheltered life in Heaven, she became selfish and arrogant. Bored with her life in Heaven and envious of youkai creating incidents on earth, she decides to create an incident in Gensokyo by using her powers, along with stealing the Sword of Hisou ("Scarlet Disposition Sword"), which has the ability to excrete the disposition of others in the form of a mist, manipulating the weather. She is adept at the manipulation of rock and earth: she can throw rocks like a projectile, and raise the earth around or in front of herself.

Subterranean Animism
Kisume is a rather shy Tsurube-otoshi who usually spends her time in buckets. She is often seen in dark places such as caves or wells. Yamame is the Stage 1 boss. A cave-dwelling spider youkai who has a cheerful and combative personality despite her despised ability. She rarely uses her ability, unless needed. Her design resembles a spider, in that the shape of her dress resembles the shape of a spider and her buttons look like an extra three pairs of eyes. Parsee is a hashihime, or bridge princess, who guards the "bridge" between the surface world and the Underworld. She is able to control the jealousy in others. Yugi is an oni currently living in the Former Capital, which is in the Underworld. She has an unexplainable ability. She was once one of the Big Four of the Mountain, along with Suika Ibuki, and she lives alongside many other oni that were forced below ground. Satori is the Stage 4 boss. She is the mistress of the Palace of the Earth Spirits after the underground city was separate from Hell. Her ability to read minds makes various youkai and spirits fearful of her, while leaving her well loved by the animals that normally can't be understood. With these animals as pets, she manages the ruin of inferno where her home stands. During the events of the Subterranean Animism, the heroine (from above ground) invaded her home. After an encounter, she permitted the heroine passage towards the Hell of Blazing Fires to ask her pets about their supposed problem. Orin is a two-tailed cat who shows up as a midboss in Stage 4 and 5, and turns into humanoid form when she is the Stage 5 boss and Final Stage midboss. She is one of Satori's pets, whose job is to carry corpses to the former Hell of Blazing Fires to regulate its heat. Before the events of the game, Orin learned of her old friend Utsuho's newly acquired power, and of her plans to conquer the above ground. She got terrified at the thought of her friend's future, and the punishment her mistress would impart on her (even though Satori would actually never have, and it was just Orin's thinking on her side). She decided to drive the evil spirits to above ground to lure the yōkai in and get them to help her, but instead a human appears before her. Upon seeing that human is unexpectedly strong, though, she asks her to help Utsuho. Utsuho is the Final Stage boss. She is one of Satori's pets, a hell raven who has lived in the underground world since before it was separated from Hell. Her job is to regulate the flames of the Hell of Blazing Fires. Before the events of the game, she was told by a voice (presumably Kanako Yasaka's) that she could swallow the god, Yatagarasu, that was hidden in the flames to gain a power that would fulfill the wishes of both the worlds below and above the surface. This power was nuclear fusion. Utsuho went mad with the abilities she had gained, and decided that, using these powers, she would take over Gensokyo. Her friend, Rin Kaenbyou, became worried about Utsuho, and drove evil spirits to the surface to cause an incident among the strong yōkai above ground, in hope that they would come down to do something about it and, when they got there, defeat Utsuho and bring her back to her former self. Koishi is the Extra Stage boss. Like her elder sister Satori, she was born with the power to read other people's minds. However, Koishi knew this power of hers would make people feel uneasy around her, so she deliberately closed off this power (which dulled Satori's power as well). She sealed away her own mind to others in doing so, and even her sister would not be able to read her mind. Satori took pity on her, and gave some pets to Koishi, hoping that the animals would open Koishi's heart to others. The plan worked, and Koishi started to care for her pets, and would one day set out to seek the god who gave Utsuho that power so that her own pets could use it too.

Undefined Fantastic Object
Nazrin is a mouse youkai who's a skilled dowser and the leader of a great number of mice. As the leader of many mice, she often employs them to search for things for her; though if she were to ask them to find food, it would most likely be gone by the time they returned. Kogasa is a kasa-obake whose sole purpose is to surprise people. However, she hasn't been very successful so far. She was once a normal umbrella in the outside world; forgotten by her owner, and no one else claimed her because the color was unpopular at the time. As time went on, the wind swept her away to Gensokyo and she became a youkai. Ichirin is a former human turned nyuudou user that the heroine encounters on their arrival at the Palanquin Ship. Along with Unzan, she guards the Palanquin Ship of her own accord in order to assist in the revival of Byakuren Hiziri. Unzan is an old nyuudou, whose gender is male, controlled by Ichirin Kumoi. Being a cloud spirit, Unzan's true form is a mystery. They both work together as a duo. Murasa is the spirit of a young drowning victim who afterwards became a notorious threat due to her power to sink ships. She is currently the captain of the Palanquin Ship, searching for the fragments of the floating vault. She meets the heroine as she is completing the preparations to travel to Makai. Syou is the Stage 5 boss, representing good fortune and an avatar of Bishamonten. She was chosen by Byakuren to have the mountain youkai gather faith in exchange. When Byakuren disappeared after a few hundred years, the temple was in great disarray, and all of her friends who were sealed into the Earth returned. Syou, not wanting to run away or have any regrets, told Murasa and the others how to lift the seal. Byakuren is the Final Stage boss. She had a younger brother, Myouren Hiziri, who taught her Buddhist magic, but died earlier than her. This made Byakuren fear death greatly, and she obtained the power to regain her youth. However, it was considered black magic rather than an art of Buddhism. Ichirin was her servant, while Murasa pledged herself to saving Byakuren. Nue is said to be one of the most mysterious and feared youkai in many years, yet has been defeated by humans many times. There are many differing legends according to her appearance because she hides her "true form." At some point, she was sealed underground, and because of the events of Subterranean Animism, she resurfaced back in Gensokyo.

Touhou Hisoutensoku
This catfish is the final boss in Meirin's scenario. It is the villainous avatar of Taisui Xingjun, a god of calamity, who, in a dream Meirin has, sends assassins (disguised as familiar characters) to attack her. Its objective as it claims is to drain her of her power so that it can move the Earth and return to this world once again. It also speaks quite strongly of its plans to cause various disasters to Gensokyo. The name "Master Big Catfish" is a nickname; ZUN never named this character officially.
 * Master Big Catfish (大ナマズ様)

Double Spoiler
Hatate is a tengu reporter who produces the Kakashi Spirit News. Unlike her colleague Aya, she never goes outside for her newspaper research. Instead, she uses her ability called thoughtography. After reading Aya's Bunbunmaru Shinbun Newspaper, she decided to observe Aya's way of gathering for her articles.
 * Hatate Himekaidou (姫海棠 はたて)

Fairy Wars
Fairy Wars does not introduce any new characters, but three characters from the manga Eastern and Little Nature Deity and Strange and Bright Nature Deity do appear. A cheerful fairy who likes to play pranks, often called "Sunny" by her accomplices. She manipulates the power of the sun, namely the power to control reflection, with which can make things appear to be invisible. She considers herself the smartest of the three, though she fails often. Luna is a fairy and one of the members of the Three Fairies of Light, composed of her, Sunny, and Star. She currently lives in a tree close to the Hakurei Shrine with her two partners. She often pranks humans along with her two partners, using her ability to mute sound around her to her advantage. Star is a fairy and one of the members of the Three Fairies of Light, along with Sunny and Luna. She currently lives in a tree close to the Hakurei Shrine with her two partners. She often pranks humans along with her two partners, using her ability to sense animate objects from a distance to her advantage.

Ten Desires
Kyouko is the Stage 2 boss. She is a youkai that embodies mountain echoes and is able to reflect sound waves. She appears to be a recent newcomer to Myouren Temple, though no reference is made to the characters already living there; with mountain echoes no longer being seen as strange, she decided to enter the Buddhist discipline. She seems to be responsible for cleaning duties and confronting trespassers. Yoshika is the Stage 3 and Stage 4 boss, alongside Seiga Kaku. She is a dimwitted but loyal jiangshi who guards the entrance to the Divine Spirit Mausoleum for Seiga. As she is just a zombie, she lacks the flexibility and dexterity of living humans and can hardly carry a conversation since most of her brain has rotted away. Seiga is a "wicked" hermit and Yoshika's superior. She plays a major role in the game as the Stage 4 Boss and for being the one who taught the Taoism to Toyosatomimi no Miko. Toziko is considered a vengeful spirit as she is a ghost who holds a grudge against humans. Among other vengeful spirits, she seems to be a quite powerful one. It is stated, however, in Symposium of Post-mysticism, that her grudge seems to be fading away, meaning that she's steadily becoming a simple ghost that can cause thunder. Futo is the Stage 5 boss. She is also one of Toyosatomimi no Miko's servants. She is a human who came from the Mononobe clan, serving Toyosatomimi throughout the years alongside Soga no Toziko. She has the power to control feng shui and summon a boat during some of her spellcards. Miko is the Final Stage boss. She is a saint living inside the Hall of Dreams' Mausoleum. She was once born in a stable and was recognized as a genius at an early age before she became a saint. Very knowledgeable, she has the ability to listen to ten people speaking at the same time. She is based on Prince Shotoku. After the events of Ten Desires, she and her followers moved to a world named Senkai that is said to be suited for hermits. Mamizou is a bake-danuki, summoned by Nue who originally lived in Sado in the Outside World in order to act as the Myouren Temple's trump card against the newly-arrived residents of the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum, particularly Miko. She is able to morph both herself and other creatures into different forms and can disguise herself as a human.

Hopeless Masquerade
Kokoro is the final boss (in most characters' stages). She is a menreiki who was born from the 66 masks that belonged to Hata no Kawakatsu. When one of the masks, the Mask of Hope was lost, it caused the humans to lose all hope and she decided to search for it, but it went in vain. She's a lifeless and emotionally devoid person, and she had to rely on her masks to properly express her emotions. All of her masks are in harmony with one another, but when she lost the Mask of Hope, it caused a severe imbalance and as such, she went berserk.
 * Hata no Kokoro (秦 こころ)

She is a werewolf who has the ability to turn into a wolf during the full moon. Seen in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost causing havoc, she is easily defeated by the heroines and admits that she isn't acting on her own will. Both Benben and Yatsuhashi Tsukumo were once merely instruments used by others in the Outside World, but eventually they came to Gensokyo. When the Miracle Mallet was used, its magical power flooded into them, and they both became tsukumogami at around the same time. However, they quickly learned where their power was coming from (the Shining Needle Castle) and decided to overthrow society as tools, like Seija Kijin did as well.

Seija is an amanojaku with the power to turn over anything. She resides in the Shining Needle Castle and is the protagonist of the spin-off game Impossible Spell Card. She tricked Shinmyoumaru to use the Miracle Mallet with a false tale about her kind. Shinmyoumary is the Final Stage boss. She is a descendant of the issun-boushi, who once defeated an oni and claimed its treasure called the Miracle Mallet, which has an ability to change the size of objects. Its power is used to create the Shining Needle Castle, but the due to the powers of the oni, it caused the castle to sink to the oni's world taking along the kobito race with it. After the incident, the tool was sealed, only to be unlocked by Shinmyoumaru who is being used by Seija for her selfish desires and that caused the youkai to revolt. Raiko is a tsukumogami, transformed from a taiko drum. She appears as the Extra Stage boss. Though originally born as a tsukumogami from a taiko drum, Raiko now borrows the "magic energy" of modern drummers from the outside world, which is why she uses a modern-day drumset.

Urban Legend in Limbo
Kasen is a playable character in the game. She is a mysterious girl who describes herself as "a simple pilgrim" and shows up at the Hakurei Shrine looking for the so-called "arm of the kappa." She is introduced in her name panel as "the one-armed, horned hermit," so it is safe to assume she is a hermit. During the second chapter of Wild and Horned Hermit (in which she is the protagonist), she is shown to be able to destroy evil spirits with her bandaged arm. She is mentioned in one of Ten Desire's endings, explaining that Marisa heard from Kasen that the ultimate goal of Taoism is to achieve immortality. Sumireko is the game's final boss (in most cases). She is a human who possesses psychic powers. She utilizes various items such as tarot cards. Her intelligence earned her a spot at a rather prestigious prep school. Due to her abilities, she is interested in occult phenomena, psychic powers and urban legends, and seeks to learn more about her condition. When she entered high school, she formed a occult organization known as the "Secret Sealing Club," although originally a measure to scare away admirers, later dedicated to exposing the secrets of the world. That led her to discover Gensokyo. After obtaining Power Stones, taken from various spots filled with occult energy, visiting Gensokyo would become a habit. Not realizing that she was putting Gensokyo at risk, she was repeatedly destroying the Barrier in order to pass over, which was a primary concern for the inhabitants. After being truly defeated, Sumireko befriended the people of Gensokyo. She eventually realized she was a pawn in someone else's plans, and the activated Power Stone that was snuck in alongside the rest she had collected would cause another Incident. Ever since, while dreaming, her soul would be able to visit Gensokyo.

Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom
Seiran is a member of the "Eagle Ravi" Earth Recon Unit sent to "purify" the Earth, being part of the Lunarian Military Infiltrators she's in charge of the Infiltration operations, one of the most dangerous job. It seems that is hard for her to hold a decent conversation, even with her Moon Rabbit comrades. Ringo is a member of the "Eagle Ravi" Earth Recon Unit, along with other members, she was sent to "purify" the Earth, but she takes no direct role in this as her job is more leisurely; she is in charge of Information Management, which is considered a high-ranking post job among the Lunarian Military. Doremy is the Stage 3 Boss. She is a baku and the manager of the Dream World who has the power to control, erase and create dreams. She guards the Dream World herself for its order not to be disturbed. Sagume is a lunarian and goddess. Her ability is to reverse a situation with her words; when she speaks about a particular situation or event, that situation will eventually proceed to reverse itself, through whatever means possible. Clownpiece is a fairy from Hell. Her ability is to drive people into madness; with the flame of her torch, she is able to drive others insane. According to herself, any human looking at the light of her torch would be unable to maintain their sanity, making her able to mess with their minds. Junko is the Final Stage boss. She is the embodiment of all hatred towards the Lunarian race, especially Chang'e, whose husband shot down the sun and killed Junko's son. She is friends with Hecatia Lapislazuli, who sympathized with her as she holds a grudge against Chang'e as well. Based on the Chinese mythological figure Chunhu (Junko is the Japanese reading of the same Chinese characters), who was one of the wives of Houyi, the sun-shooter. Hecatia is the Extra Stage boss. She is a goddess who governs the Hells of the Earths, the Moons, and the Spirit Worlds. Like Junko, she also has a grudge against Chang'e, whose husband shot down Apollo and indirectly weakened Hell, as Hell wouldn't be able to exist without the sun. She's friends with Junko, and lent her Clownpiece, her subordinate, to fulfill her plans. She is based on the Greek goddess Hecate.

Other Characters
Rinnosuke is a half-human who runs an antique and collectibles shop known as Kourindou, which faces the Forest of Magic from the Human Village. Starting with Muenzuka, Rinnosuke collected things from the outside world and the Netherworld, and handles all kinds of tools regardless of whether they are for human or youkai use, which was indicated as a unique kind of shop, called by Rinnosuke himself as a "shop that sells found things." It also handles things from the outside world, like personal computers, digital cameras, and kitchen stoves, but all products displayed have no price attached to them making price negotiations necessary, and there are also many goods that are not up for sale from the start. It also handles miscellaneous daily items like teacups, and thus Remilia Scarlet and Sakuya Izayoi are frequent customers.
 * Rinnosuke Morichika (森近 霖之助)

He is the main character of Curiosities of Lotus Asia, and the only active humanoid male character in the Touhou series. He is also one of the few characters who seem to have no fighting ability. Despite his ability, he does not know how to use the unknown gadgets. Hence, he makes many false theories of his own about the foreign objects from the outside world. For example, he called a Game Boy a device that allows the user to control humans and possibly destroy the whole world. With few customers, other than some persistent loiterers like Reimu and Marisa, Rinnosuke spends most of his time pursuing his hobby of researching the world beyond Gensokyo. Much of his stock comes from the outside world, and he seems to have a close business relationship with Yukari, who procures the items for him. Maribel is a psychology student and friend of Renko's. She and Renko formed the two-person occult circle, the Secret Sealing Club (which Sumireko later joined), which investigates Gensokyo. Descended from a long line of magicians, she is one of the few humans who can perceive and cross Gensokyo's boundaries. Unused to this ability, she tends to wander through by accident, thinks she is merely dreaming and gets herself into dangerous situations. She is from the short stories that come with ZUN's music collections. There has been no official romanization of her name, so her English name here is an approximation. Renko is a student in the outside world, presumably in a college or university. She majors in physics and is very objective and logical in her approach to matters. Together with her friend, Maribel Hearn, she has an interest in what would be considered the paranormal. Their club, consisting of only the two of them, describes itself as a club for necromancers. However, they don't do many of the things necromancers would normally be associated with. Instead, they investigate spirits and such. Specifically they're interested in Gensokyo and seem to be among the few, or even the only, humans in the outside world who know of Gensokyo's existence. She is currently the "Child of Miare" who was born in the Hieda family once in every few hundred years with ability to "not forget anything she sees" and records Gensokyo's history. She seems to like black tea. Despite her young age, her memory goes back 1,200 years. This is because every "Child of Miare" of the Hieda family is a reincarnation of previous "Child of Miare", who inherits the memories of the previous incarnates. She is the ninth reincarnation in the line, as reflected by her name - a pun of the Japanese word for "nine." Each time she reincarnates, her life span gets shorter and shorter. The "Miare" referred to is the real-life Hieda no Are, who compiled the Kojiki. Also, she is the first "Child of Miare" to be born after the sealing of Gensokyo. She is on the cover of Akyu's Untouched Score, the original soundtracks for the PC-98 games, and is also the narrator of Perfect Memento of Strict Sense. Toyohime is one of the princesses from the moon, she and her younger sister Yorihime are the leaders of the lunar emissaries - the same ones who were in charge of bringing Kaguya back to the moon. As such, their stance should be that of enmity toward Eirin, who betrayed the emissaries; however, as Eirin was once their respected tutor, they harbor no ill feelings toward the exiled Lunarians in Eientei. She is from the manga Silent Sinner in Blue. She is supposed to be the Japanese goddess Toyotama-hime, otherwise known as Otohime, the princess in the Urashima Taro legend. Yorihime is the the more serious counterpart to her elder sister Toyohime, and is also a princess from the moon. She seemed to absorb everything that Eirin said. Like Reimu, Yorihime can summon Japanese gods to use their powers. She is from the manga Silent Sinner in Blue. She is based on the Japanese goddess Tamayori-hime. Reisen is a lunar rabbit (not related to Reisen Udongein Inaba). "Reisen" is in fact not her original name, but is the name she received when she became the Watatsuki sisters' pet. Her original name has not been revealed. Kosuzu is a Human Village resident and a worker at the Suzunaan book renter. According to her, she's the No. 1 collector of the demon books in Gensokyo. She is the main character of Forbidden Scrollery.
