This is a list of titles given to each character from each of their official profiles. Each title says something about the character it's been given to, even if some are rather ambiguous. The works each title has appeared in are listed in brackets next to the title. The titles are ordered according to the works' internal chronological order; for example, Imperishable Night follows Immaterial and Missing Power.
Some characters have multiple titles which may change from one game appearance to the next, and also have several titles within a single game. The characters that appear in Match Mode but not Story Mode of Touhou Hisoutensoku are excluded from the below chart, because they only appear if Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is installed and take their titles from that game.
There appears to be characters from certain games and manga that have a similarity to the rest of the characters titles. Here are a few examples:
- Titles from Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoiler are named jokingly or pejoratively by Aya.
- Titles from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody's story mode are in the form of "Species/Occupation/Symbol of Weather", except for the new characters Iku Nagae and Tenshi Hinanawi.
- Titles from Wild and Horned Hermit are in the form of "Species of Four Kanji Idiom".
- Titles from Forbidden Scrollery use English (in katakana) for the Species/Occupation.
- Titles from Ten Desires are in the form of "Species/Occupation of XX Desire" (××欲の○○).
- Titles from Antinomy of Common Flowers are mainly in the form of "XX and YY Species/Occupation" (xxでyyの○○). Most possible pairs of characters are dubbed "XX and YY Duo" on the select screen (xxでyyの二人), taking one half from each partner's title. Exceptions are pairs involving Doremy (simply 'Dream-Bestowing Duo' / 夢を見せる二人), the Yorigami sisters ('Duo' becomes 'Trio' / 三人, YY becomes 'Misfortune-Spreading' / 不幸をもたらす) or Ichirin ('Trio,' or when paired with the Yorigamis, 'Quartet' / 四人).
- Titles from Lotus Eaters relate in some way to alcohol.
It should be noted that not all characters have an official profile to have received a title from.

Note: Though her Japanese title in PCB is a little different from that of IN and the rest in 使い and 遣い (both "tsukai"), they both mean the same thing ("user"). |

Note: In the trial ver., a title of TD "Enlightened Ghost" 戸惑わない亡霊 was listed only in the profile txt, while "Stationary Ghost" 彷徨わない亡霊 was screened in the game. Later when the official ver. was released, the former was removed and unified into the other one. |
| Ran Yakumo |
|
|
| Yukari Yakumo |
|
(* The latter 2/3s of Yukari's 2nd TH10.5 title is "kitsune no yomeiri", which refers to rain falling from a clear sky, a.k.a. a sunshower.) |

| Tewi Inaba |
|
(In the Febri publication of WaHH ch.31, 素兎 is read as as "su-usagi," rather than the regular "shiro-usagi". This reading means "naked" or "skin-peeled", so the title can be read as "the skin-peeled rabbit". This reading may be a typo, however.) |
| Reisen Udongein Inaba |
|
(*SWR's story mode title likens the weather to Reisen's personality, as with most characters. But the weather could also indicate M6A1 Seiran, an attack floatplane of Imperial Japanese Navy; Reisen used to be a soldier on the moon and her name shares the same sound with that of the most famous fighter aircraft of Japan in WWII, Reisen or Zerosen (零戦.) |

| Aya Shameimaru |
|
Note: In the title of Lotus Eater, "cocktal party" should indicate "cocktail party effect". The place of the story isn't a party hall but a pub. On the other hand, Aya has keen ears to find customers talking what she is searching for. |
| Medicine Melancholy |
|
|
| Yuuka Kazami |
|
|
| Komachi Onozuka |
|
(* The LE title has double meaning ― first, it's a parody of the cocktail "Death in the Afternoon". Second, the "death" in the original title is "shinigami", not "dying". So "a lazy shinigami finally getting up so late".) |

|
| Satori Komeiji |
|
(* "Kokoro no yami" — "sickness of the heart" (心の病み) is a pun on "darkness of the heart" (心の闇), a phrase used by the mass media as the main cause for serious juvenile crimes.) |
| Rin Kaenbyou |
|
|
| Utsuho Reiuji |
|
(* 熱かい is a bit of wordplay involving "hot" (atsukai, 熱かい) and "treatment/management" (atsukai, 扱い). This phenomenon occurs for the fact that that word was originally indicated to be an ancient word "悶熱ひ懊悩む" (atsukai nayamu suffer from the awful heat).) |
| Koishi Komeiji |
|
(* 本怖 is an abbreviation of 本当にあった怖い話 (Horrific True Tales), a collection of urban legends about ghosts/spirits/etc which became very famous on 2ch.) |
Undefined Fantastic Object

| Nazrin |
|
|
| Kogasa Tatara |
|
|
| Ichirin Kumoi |
|
(* "Big Wheel" (大輪) is a literal translation of either "largely blooming" or "a large flower", relating to the fact that "ichirin" is normally means "single flower" in Japanese as the unit of counting flowers. That helps explain the connection to the team's DS title.) (* The DS title has a possible double meaning, as it can also be read as "The Flower and Old Man that Bloom in the Sky", since the participle or modifier in Japanese can apply to multiple nouns. ZUN probably made this rather amusing implication deliberately.) (* Some people interpret her title of UFO showing Ichirin's origin — look at the word "大輪". When it loses "人 (human) from "大", it becomes "一輪" (Ichirin): 大輪 − 人 = 一輪. When she abandoned being human, she was reborn from the moment as youkai, as what Ichirin is now.) (* The title of WaHH "一蓮托生の妖怪僧侶" contains the kanji "一" and "蓮", both of which are also the part of the names of Ichirin "一輪" and Byakuren "蓮". So this title implies that she shares the fate with her master Byakuren.) |
| Unzan |
|
(* A supplementary note is included above in one of Ichirin's notes.) |
| Minamitsu Murasa |
|
|
| Shou Toramaru |
|
|
| Byakuren Hijiri |
|
(* The DS title is a parody of the "Tactics" setting in the Japanese version of Dragon Warrior IV that tells all CPU players to put priority into attacking enemies, "Let's beat 'em up." (gan-gan ikou ze, がんがんいこうぜ)) (* The WaHH 35th title has the Buddhist term samādhi (三昧 zanmai). In this usage, however, it isn't used in original Buddhism terminology, but in vulgar, derivational meaning; "to engage in, indulge in sth. (especially too luxurious or unproductive debauchery, like gastronomy, sexual intercourse, maniac collection, etc.)". Then that might be literally "Great Buddhist Prayer Reaching to Perfect Praying", but it should be normally read as "Great Buddhist Prayer Indulging Deeply to Praying".) (* In the LE 16th title, "abstaining from drink" derives from one of the Five Precepts of Buddhist moral disciplines broadly shared with by many Buddhists.) |

(* The FS title is a parody of the Japanese proverb "counting the profit from an uncaptured tanuki's fur" (toranu tanuki no kawa-zan'you, 捕らぬ狸の皮算用), which basically means the same as "counting your chickens before they've hatched".) |

- ↑ 幻創 is a pun on gensou (幻想) and is pronounced identically. The second kanji, "concept" (想), is replaced with the homophonous "genesis" (創), expressing a sense of "inventing" or "dreaming up" new fantasies.
- ↑ 小夜時雨 is an idom that refers to light showers in the evening around late autumn and early winter.
- ↑ 緋想的 (hisouteki / 'scarlet thought-esque'): pun on 皮相的 (hisouteki / 'superficial')
- ↑ Mistyped as "女子校生" (joshikou-sei) in febri, but it was fixed into "女子高生 when it was contained in WaHH vol.6. — The former is a jargon of adult contents to mean "a prostitute costuming a female highschool student", while the latter just a normal word "a female student of highschool" or restrictly "a student of girls' school".
