Cet article répertorie les personnages qui ont des apparitions très mineures et épisodiques dans Touhou Project . Beaucoup d'entre eux n'ont même pas de nom officiel, donc à cause de cela, ils sont décrits en utilisant des noms choisis arbitrairement. Les personnages listés sur cette page sont dans l'ordre chronologique (du début PC-98 aux derniers jeux Windows). La plupart de ces personnages apparaissent dans les Œuvres Papier.

Monde Extérieur

Multi (マルチ Maruchi) est un robot de la série animée To Heart. Ce n'est pas un personnage de Touhou Project et elle fait un simple caméo dans le good ending de Reimu dans Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream juste pour la blague. Son nom est censuré en Ma○chi (ま○ち, écrit en hiragana alors qu'il est normalement en katakana) en jeu et ses yeux sont censurés par un rectangle car ZUN n'avait certainement par les droits de la part de Leaf.

Similaire à ses apparitions officielles, elle a de courts cheveux verts et porte un uniforme d'étudiante typique japonais. Ses grandes "oreilles" robotiques lui permettent d'être reconnue comme robot. Dans ses apparitions officielles, elle a les yeux vert émeraude.

Trivia

  • Multi est le seul personnage connu que ZUN ait dessiné sans qu'il ne l'ait créé.
  • Le design de Ruukoto est potentiellement une parodie de Multi car elle non plus n'est pas très douée pour nettoyer.
  • Multi est l'un des quelques personnages de toute la série à être apparu dans un jeu sans avoir jamais été jouable ou un boss.
  • La main vue lors de son apparition est celle de Doraemon. La façon dont la main présente Multi à Reimu est aussi la façon dont Doraemon présente de nouveaux gadjets à quelqu'un.

Cependant, comme il n'avait pas de papier sur lequel écrire, il écrit sur les portes de l'école, alarmant les villageois, car un youkai se cachait parmi les enfants humains. Même après que Reimu commence à surveiller l'école, il parvient à éviter ses pièges et n'est pas affecté par ses ofuda, car il ne détient aucune trace de mal.

Disguising itself (?)

Résidence

Human Village (formerly), India(?) in the Outside World (formerly)

Apparitions
Œuvres Littéraires

A snake from the Outside World that ate a human, causing it to be transported to Gensokyo as a youkai. Using its newfound powers, the snake became an infamous dine-and-dasher in the Human Village, wearing a different human disguise each time and seemingly vanishing into thin air if chased. At the same time, it caused unrest by attacking a number of humans in its true form. Eventually the snake was confronted by Mamizou Futatsuiwa, who broke its disguise and taught it Gensokyo's rules about interfering with human villagers.

Background Information

Design

Its true form is that of a snake, but it has shown the ability to disguise itself in various ways.

Ability

The snake youkai is capable of disguising itself as a human and can take many different forms. However, according to Mamizou its disguises are "low-ranking" and easily seen through. Exposure to tobacco smoke disrupts the snake's powers and forces it to revert to its true form.

Mamizou Futatsuiwa

Mamizou is the only one to know of the snake's role in the village's dine-and-dash incidents, and also taught him Gensokyo's rules.

Additional Information

  • Shortly before the snake youkai appears, Kosuzu and Mamizou are seen reading a news article from the Outside World about a giant snake eating a human in India, implying that this youkai was the snake in question.

Fortune-teller (formerly)

Human Village (formerly)

Apparitions
Œuvres Littéraires

A fortune-teller from the Human Village, who was shunned by the village's master diviner for incorporating magic into his techniques. After peering into "the outer edge of our world", he came to resent how Gensokyo's humans lived at the mercy of youkai, and created a plan to become a youkai himself.

Around half a year before the events of Forbidden Scrollery chapter 24, the fortune-teller committed suicide, leaving behind a book in which he had written a mix of powerful divination techniques and childish scribbles. When Kosuzu began taking the book's techniques for her own while discarding the gibberish, it created a grudge that linked the book with the fortune-teller's spirit; by carefully controlling his emotions he was then able to cross over into the mortal world without becoming a vengeful spirit.

The fortune-teller, reborn as a jinyou, is discovered by Reimu who pursues him into the wilderness away from the village. Once no one is around, he claims that he has no intention of harming humans or even living anywhere they could find him, so there is no need for he and the "youkai shrine maiden" to fight. In response Reimu tells the jinyou that he has been misinformed, and that a human villager becoming a youkai is "the greatest sin of all", before apparently killing him.

Background Information

Design

While still alive the fortune-teller had the appearance of a normal human, with a long nose and black hair swept back into a short ponytail. He is sometimes seen wearing glasses and a coat or cloak.

After becoming a jinyou he takes on a demonic appearance with pointed ears, claws and fangs, similar to the "Nosferatu" depiction of vampires. The inside of his body has apparently transformed into darkness while his skin is now tough and leathery, with his eyes and mouth having become gashes that open into it. He no longer wears glasses, and his cloak collar flares upwards.

Reimu Hakurei (Exterminator)

The fortune-teller was aware of Reimu's reputation as the "youkai shrine maiden", knowing that she allowed youkai to visit her shrine without exterminating them, and believed that she would take his side. However, things turned out to be different, and Reimu exterminated him without hesitation.

Sokrates (ソクラテス Sokuratesu) est l'animal de compagnie de Ellen, un chat avec des poils courts et une fourrure beige pâle, de l'ère PC-98. Dans Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream, il a toujours été vu sur l'épaule d'Ellen et on dit qu'il quitte rarement Ellen. La seule fois qu'on voit Ellen sans lui, c'est quand elle lance une Spell Card.

Informations

Sokrates semble partager son nom avec un philosophe grec classique appelé Socrate. ZUN a noté que le style vestimentaire d'Ellen et l'"époque" à laquelle les chats étaient des animaux de compagnie ne correspondent pas vraiment, donc le chat devrait probablement être nommé "Archimède" à la place.

Trivia

  • Sokrates est l'un des rares chats mondains figurant dans Touhou Project.
  • Sokrates est le deuxième male à être présenté à la série, le premier étant Genjii. (Si on exclut SinGyoku avec sa 3eme forme ambiguë, qui ressemble à un homme qui prie)

Giant Toad's Pond

The Giant Toad (大蝦蟇 Dai Gama) is a toad that lives in the Giant Toad's Pond who first appeared in Cirno's article Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red. In the article, it was said that Cirno was freezing frogs as usual, so this toad decided to punish her by eating her. However, Cirno escapes by freezing the toad's stomach, making it spit her out. Neither had any major injuries.

Considering the divine nature of the pond, it is likely that the toad acts as its guardian. Unless provoked, the Giant Toad will remain benevolent and gentle. Providing it with an offering will ensure that humans who visit the pond will have a safe trip home. On the walk home, a seemingly ordinary toad will follow you down to the base of the Youkai Mountain. This toad is actually a subordinate of the Giant Toad, and is a sign of its approval. No youkai would dare to attack a human being followed by the Giant Toads's watchful eyes. The toad is the size of two humans

Background Information

This character has always been referred to as "Giant Toad" in canon, but that doesn't mean it's the toad's actual name as it may simply be an identification.

The Tsuchinoko (槌の子) is a brown look-alike snake creature that is owned as a pet by Marisa Kirisame, where the body between of head and the tail is "fat". In Strange and Bright Nature Deity chapter 9, the Three Fairies of Light found their home covered with vines. They were unable to get into their home, so they got Marisa to help. In chapter 10, they believed it was a "Vine Youkai". When Luna Child created some food for the group, the "Vine Youkai" quickly ate the food, and they realised it was actually a Tsuchinoko and Marisa decided to take it home as a pet.

Reimu Hakurei recommended Marisa to exterminate it, but she refused. To add to this, because it sleeps a lot, eats a lot, snores, and with the lack of food supply Marisa has for it, it's unknown if she did exterminate it or if she still owns it as a pet. Its god is the Nozuchi.

Kasen uses it as a form of transportation and later presumably under Kasen's orders, drops Reimu Hakurei off back to the Hakurei Shrine. The dapeng is later seen in chapter 9, flying Kasen away from Suika Ibuki.

It looks like a Bald Eagle about 5 to 7 meters long, large enough to sustain Kasen and Reimu's weight with ease. While it may not be a Bald Eagle, it can be assumed that it is either part of the Sea Eagle family, or at least a close relative.

Mukou (務光) is a raijuu, a poisonous electricity-producing beast that first appeared in Wild and Horned Hermit Chapter 6. During an unseasonal thunderstorm, Reimu and Marisa discover it, believing it to be an electric animal that could be raised to provide electricity. Its poison, however, affects the two humans to feel demotivated. The raijuu turns out to be one of Kasen's many pets, and had caused the thunderstorm because it had been feeling neglected. The cure for the raijuu's poison is revealed to be corn, which helps Reimu and Marisa recover very quickly.

On its first appearance Mukou was not referred to by name. Its current name was revealed as part of Kasen's appearance in Urban Legend in Limbo.

Background Information

In its name Mukou (務光), the first kanji means "duties" whilst the second means "light". It is a ferret-like animal with white fur and red eyes. A mane of darker blue fur stretches from its forehead to the tip of its tail.

Additional Information

  • Kasen reminisces about how she caught Mukou during a thunderstorm at the shrine, which resulted in a tree behind the shrine being struck by lightning. This tree appears in Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 21 onwards, where it becomes the new home of the Three Fairies of Light.

When Marisa tries to find her house again to rob it, Houso confronts and attacks her, resulting in an injury to her arm that was healed by Unshou. However, because Kasen trained Houso not to attack without provocation, it's revealed that Marisa tried to take its hide because she figured it would be valuable.

In Urban Legend in Limbo it assists Kasen in her attacks.

Background Information

The first kanji in its name means "swelling, sound of drum", whilst the second kanji means "ancestor, pioneer, founder". It looks like a typical tiger.

Marisa Kirisame (Exterminator)

Since the Kutsutsura is born from one of Kosuzu's shoes, Marisa exterminates it to protect Kosuzu's reputation, as it would have been bad if the other villagers knew that she was directly or indirectly involved in the creation of a new youkai inside the village.

Manzairaku (万歳楽) is a seal, found in the Genbu Ravine by the kappa and Marisa Kirisame after she left a party at the Hakurei Shrine. Initially mistaken for a fur-covered monster fish, with a head like an otter's, the kappa let it go due to its appearance and large size. However, after Kasen Ibaraki describes the seal-like folkloric Manzairaku, purported to bring good fortune, Marisa and Reimu Hakurei go back to see the "fish." After using sonar and searchlights to find it once again, crowds later gather to catch a glimpse.

Perturbed by the gathering crowds at their home, Nitori Kawashiro and the other kappa move Manzairaku to the Abandon Pond, where they use it to entertain visitors. It enjoys performing, but becomes depressed. Nitori asks Kasen to help, but still under the assumption the seal is a "strange fish", Nitori explains it might actually be a sea mammal. Kasen explains that it needs saltwater, so Nitori builds an artificial pool. It also tells Kasen its story.

In the Outside World, it swam up a river in a city, where it drew the attention of humans. It was made an honorary citizen, but after it left for the sea and came back, it was forgotten by them, making it lonely, and it wound up in Gensokyo.

In Urban Legend in Limbo it assists Kasen in her attacks.

Background Information

Origin

Manzairaku seems to be based on Tama-chan, who became renowned in Japan in 2002 when it lived in the Tama River in Tokyo. Seals are not native to Japan, which is why it was a rare sight. Like Manzairaku in the Outside World, interest in Tama-chan also faded.

Manzairaku looks like a typical seal and is grey in color.

Relationships

Kasen Ibaraki

Manzairaku seems to trust Kasen, being willing to talk to her, and even assisting her in Urban Legend in Limbo.

Kappa

Though initially being frightened of it, the kappa eventually teach Manzairaku tricks and has it put on shows to entertain folks for money. Manzairaku doesn't seem to dislike its position. However, despite treating him well, the kappa were ignorant in how to care for it, by having it live in freshwater and even being hinted to feed it "kappa food" (shirikodama), depressing him briefly.

Humans

Manzairaku seems to love humans and the attention it gets from them, even becoming lonely when it's not the center of their attention.

Tenryuu (天龍, lit. "Heavenly Dragon") is a dragon that supposedly lives in the sky. It was first mentioned in Chapter 22 of Curiosities of Lotus Asia when Rinnosuke Morichika was examining the youkai armillary sphere made by Yukari Yakumo, then later referenced in Double Spoiler by Aya Shameimaru when talking about Utsuho Reiuji's Seven Stars "Septentrion" spell card, and finally shown in the kappa's planetarium in Wild and Horned Hermit. Although it's called the "King of Constellations" and is identified with the Big Dipper, unlike other constellations Tenryuu is considered to be an actual living dragon that soars through the heavens. This dragon is allegedly on its way to devour the North Star, and it is said that when that happens something that makes both Heaven and Earth to tremble will occur. According to Kasen Ibaraki, "dragons will become rulers of everything under Heaven as the Heaven-born dragon dances through the sky".

In Curiosities of Lotus Asia, Rinnosuke gives a similar but somewhat more complex version of the event, saying that Polaris (also called the North Star or Unmoving Star) is the face of the Lord of the Night Acala, an embodiment of Mahavairocana. Mahavairocana is an avatar of the Sun that consumes the power of youkai, and that turns into Acala during nighttime to prevent youkai from rampaging. The dragon is plotting to eat Acala to control the sky day and night. According to the records, it is prophesied that Tenryuu will move after a few thousand years, and then youkai society will also undergo a great metamorphosis. Moreover, shooting stars are said to be Tenryuu's scales that fall off.

Background Information

Design

Tenryuu is shown to have the appearance of a regular eastern-style dragon, but it's actual size and exact color scheme are unknown.

After the salt merchant had one of his horses killed for its meat, it rose from the dead as an umatsuki and began to take over his body. Under its influence the merchant became known for doing odd things, like ordering his servants to destroy andromeda flowers (which are disliked by horses). After Kosuzu sighted a headless horse near the mansion, Mamizou recognised it as an umatsuki and was impressed by its boldness, while Reimu set out to investigate further. After determining that its victim could no longer be saved, Reimu exterminated the umatsuki, leaving behind the salt merchant's lifeless body.

Œuvres Littéraires

Suiki (水鬼) is one the kishin chiefs from Hell. In Chapter 12 of Wild and Horned Hermit this figure came to Gensokyo to hunt and kill Seiga Kaku, as the hermit had extended her lifespan too much, going against the concept of Saṃsāra, the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Suiki's actions also caused problems for the kappa, making it impossible for them to approach Genbu Ravine, their home.

Background Information

Name

This character's name is Suiki (水鬼 lit. "Water Oni"), same as that of one of the four demons serving the sorcerer Fujiwara no Chikata.

Ability

Suiki has shown the ability to manipulate water to a great extent. By concentrating a vast amount of water from all of Gensokyo in the same place and super-pressurizing it, they created a huge, layered, extremely powerful column capable of instantly disintegrating rocks on contact, and mantained it for various consecutive days. According to Nitori Kawashiro, this power is comparable to that of Lord Suiryuu, the water dragon.

Relationships

Seiga Kaku (target)

Suiki tried to kill Seiga to end her over-extended lifespan. Despite the water trap being impossible to bypass directly, Seiga managed to escape by opening an underground tunnel.
