This article lists characters that have a very minor and episodic appearance within the Touhou Project. Many of them don't even have an official name, so because of that, they are described using arbitrarily chosen names. Characters listed on this page are in chronological order (from early PC-98 to the latest Windows games). Most of these characters appear in print works.

Ellen's pet cat |
Sokrates (ソクラテス Sokuratesu) is Ellen's average short-haired pet cat with light tan fur from the PC-98 era. In 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 called Socrates. ZUN notes that Ellen's clothing style and the "age" where cats were pets don't really match up, so the cat should probably be named "Archimedes" instead.
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 ambiguous third form, which does look like a male priest)

Multi (マルチ Maruchi) is a robot from the To Heart anime series. She isn't a Touhou Project character as she makes an unofficial cameo appearance in Reimu's good ending in Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream as a single throwaway joke. Just like in her official appearances, she wears a typical pink and white Japanese school uniform with short green hair and robotic ears.
Her name was censored to "ま○ち" (Ma○chi) in game and 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
- Multi is the only known character that ZUN made a drawing of that wasn't created entirely by him.
- 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.
- The hand seen when she's presented seems to be Doraemon's hand.

Marisa's house in the Forest of Magic?, was originally from the Outside World |
Mimi-chan (ミミちゃん Mimichan) is a sentient female intercontinental ballistic missile who only appears in Marisa's good ending of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. She was formerly owned by Yumemi Okazaki and is now owned by Marisa Kirisame in the PC-98 canon. Marisa wanted a weapon from the outside world and this is what she got. Unfortunately for Marisa, she doesn't know how to use her. It's unknown if Marisa still owns her in the Windows canon.
Character Basis
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. She is based on the identical-looking missile from the 1986 manga series Don't Leave Me Alone, Daisy, where she is also named Mimi-chan.
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.
Fandom
- Some fans draw Mimi-chan together with Ruukoto because they are both machines made by the same creator.
- Mimi-chan has been depicted to have a character riding on top of her. This is because of Marisa who first rode her, and because Mimi was ridden in the original manga as well.

These Makai residents appear on Reimu Hakurei's good Ending in Mystic Square. The first one has blonde hair with a white dress, a ribbon, fairy-like wings and what appears to be maid hat. The second looks more demonic, having long solver hair with a black ribbon, a black & white outfit and white devil wings.
Additional Information
- The fairy-looking demon somewhat bares a resemblance to the white-dress demon stage enemies on stage 5, but appears more closer to a Fairy Maid.
- The devil-looking demon somewhat bares a resemplence to Koakuma and Mystia Lorelei.
Fandom
- Japanese fans may use the term "Makai person who appears in Reimu's Ending" (靈夢EDに出てくる魔界人 Reimu ED ni detekuru makai hito).

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 Fandom below), she has blonde hair.
Fandom
- 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.

Species | |
Location |
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
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 as it may simply be an identification.

These two men are the gatekeepers of the mansion owned by their mistresses Watatsuki no Yorihime and Watatsuki no Toyohime on the Lunar Capital. They've only appeared on Chapter 7 of Silent Sinner in Blue. These gatekeepers try to prevent Rei'sen from entering the Moon Palace. Luckily, Watatsuki no Toyohime falls from the sky and lands on Rei'sen, then gives Rei'sen permission to pass through. They're one of the few male characters in the Touhou Project.
Character Basis

Both the guards wear a Chinese-style armor with a bag on their belts. Their hair is tied into buns and the buns wrapped, per ancient Chinese tradition.

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.

The title of this section is unofficial; an official name hasn't been found, so it's been given a fitting title by the editors of this wiki for amenity, either from a popular fan-name or a mere description of the topic. If an official name appears, then it should be changed to the official name. |
This bake-danuki appears on Chapter 11 on the Oriental Sacred Place 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's 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. She hasn't been seen since.
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.
Fandom
- In Japan, this bake-danuki is known as Marisa (魔狸沙). 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 western 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, appearing in Wild and Horned Hermit chapters 5, 6 and 9. 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.

Tupai (ツパイ) is Remilia Scarlet's pet chupacabra that was initially mistaken for an actual tupai. It escapes off-screen during the events of Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 16, and begins stealing alcohol from the Human Village. It displays great speed and agility, making it difficult to catch. Eventually, it was captured by Hieda no Akyuu in Forbidden Scrollery chapters 6–7, who sets a trap by spiking one of her sake jars. It's now kept in a cage after a promise from the Scarlet Devil Mansion that it'll not escape again, with Remilia and Flandre Scarlet mesmerising the Tupai.

Despite this creature being revealed to be a chupacabra, "Tupai" was kept its name.

As Sakuya Izayoi describes it, it has sharp claws and long fangs, resembling a goblin but "sharper".
