Sokrates (ソクラテス Sokuratesu) is Ellen's pet cat. During the events of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream, he was always seen on top of Ellen's shoulder and it is said that he rarely leaves Ellen's side. The only time you see Ellen without him is when she casts a spell card.
Character Basis
- Name
Sokrates seems to share his name with a classic Greek philosopher.
- Design
In Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream's official art, Sokrates is an average short haired cat with light tan fur.
Additional Information
- Sokrates is one of the few mundane cats featured in the Touhou Project.
- Sokrates is the second male to be introduced to the series, first being Genjii. (This excludes SinGyoku's third form, which does look like a male priest, but this is unknown.)

Multi (マルチ Maruchi) is a robot from the To Heart anime series. She is not a Touhou character as she makes an unofficial cameo appearance in Reimu's good ending in Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream as a single throwaway joke. Her name was censored to "ま○ち" (Ma○chi) in game.
Character Basis
- Design
Her eye's are censored with a black rectangular box because ZUN either couldn't or didn't get Leaf's permission to put her in the game.
Additional Information
- Ruukoto's character design is thought to be a parody of Multi's since Multi is also not very good at cleaning.
- Multi is one of the few characters in the entire series to have appeared in a game without ever having been a playable character or a boss character.

Mimi-chan (ミミちゃん Mimichan) is an intercontinental ballistic missile who is a female and is able to speak. She is formally owned by Yumemi Okazaki and is now owned by Marisa Kirisame in the PC-98 canon, but it is unknown if Marisa still owns her in the Windows canon. Marisa wanted a weapon from the outside world and this is what she got. Unfortunately for her, she does not know how to use her.
Character Basis
- Design
Seen in Marisa's ending in Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream, Mimi-chan is a big white missile with black eyes, a red mouth and a red nosecone.
Additional Information
- Mimi-chan is one of the few characters in the entire series to have appeared in a game without ever having been a playable character or a boss character.
Fanon Culture
- Some fans draw Mimi-chan together with Ruukoto because they are both machines made by the same creator.
- Mimi-chan has also been depicted to have a character riding on top of her. This is because of Marisa who first rode her.

This unknown girl appears on the jacket and CD of Dolls in Pseudo Paradise. Her first appearance was in the image top020729.jpg, not Dolls in Pseudo Paradise, only as well that she's the first character to not appear in a Touhou Project game. It is unclear of who she actually is.
Character Basis
- Design
On the Dolls in Pseudo Paradise jacket, this girl <add details here>. She holds what appears to be a Christian cross on her right hand and according to the story (See fanon below), she has blond hair.
Fanon Culture
- She is believed to be a Christian, due to the cross she is holding in her right hand.
- In the C62 version of the CDs Story, there was only one girl in the "eight honest men". There's a theory that the girl in this group is the same one on the CD cover.
- There's other speculation that the girl on the cover is actually Marisa Kirisame or Alice Margatroid.
- There's also a speculation that this girl is Vera Claythorne from Agatha Christie's And There Were None. In the story, the girl hangs herself, when she was the last one left of the eight men, while Vera did exactly the same.

The Giant Toad (大蝦蟇 Dai Gama) is a toad that lives in the Giant Toad's Pond. Considering the divine nature of the pond, it is likely that the frog acts as its guardian. Unless provoked, the Giant Toad will remain benevolent and gentle. Providing it with an offering will ensure the human visitor 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.
In Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, as usual, Cirno was freezing frogs. This toad decided to punish her by eating her, but Cirno escapes by freezing the toad's stomach, making it spit her out. Neither had any major injuries.
Character Basis
- Name
This character has always been referred to as "Giant Toad" in canon, but that doesn't mean it's the toad's actual name.
- Design
The Giant Toad looks like a typical toad that is the size of two humans.

The Tsuchinoko (槌の子) is a snake look-alike creature that is owned as a pet by Marisa. In Strange and Bright Nature Deity, 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. 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 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.
Character Basis
- Name
This character has always been referred to as "Tsuchinoko" in canon, but it doesn't mean it's this creature's real name.
- Design
The Tsuchinoko simply looks like a brown snake, except the body between of head and the tail is "fat".
Relationships
- Marisa Kirisame (Owner)
- Nozuchi (God)

Appearances | |

|
This bake-danuki appears on Chapter 11 on the Oriental Sacred Place manga where she masquerades as Marisa Kirisame and joins Reimu Hakurei for a moon-viewing, presumably to gain access to the shrine maiden's mochi and sake. Reimu is aware of the fact that she is not actually Marisa for quite some time, but still allows her to stay for a while. When Reimu reveals that she knows who she is, the bake-danuki, impressed by the shrine-maiden's insight, thanks her for the food and drink and disappears.
Character Basis
- Design
When its identity was revealed, this bake-danuki displayed shadows around its eyes, large round ears and a tail; its appearance otherwise remained identical to Marisa Kirisame except the hair braid is on the right side instead of the left. Its true appearance is unknown.
Fanon Culture
- In Japan, this bake-danuki is known as 魔狸沙 ("Marisa". 狸 is the kanji for "tanuki" and can be read as "ri" as well, making the pun), since she transformed into an appearance similar to Marisa Kirisame, although she still had tanuki ears and tails.
- "Monster Tanuki" is a rather notable name in the westen fanbase to refer to this bake-danuki.

This dapeng is a giant eagle that Kasen Ibaraki controls and it was referred to as a cryptid (generally a mythological creature rejected by science) in Kasen's profile. In Wild and Horned Hermit, 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.
Character Basis
- Design
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.

This Raijuu is an electric producing beast containing poison that appears 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 neglected for a bit. The cure for the Raijuu's poison is revealed to be corn, which helps Reimu and Marisa recover very quickly.
Character Basis
- Design
It looks like a ferret-like animal. It has a noticeable stripe on it's back with darker and longer fur that stretches from the forehead to the tip of the tail. The darker portions of it's fur is blue, while the rest of the body is white. It also has red eyes.
Additional Information
- Kasen reminisces about how she caught the Raijuu 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 and the chapters following, where the Three Fairies of Light move to.
