Additional Information
Name and Concept
- Seihou means "western," as opposed to Touhou, which means "eastern."
Trivia
- ZUN produced some of the art and music in Shuusou Gyoku, the first game in the series. He also composed the music for and contributed a small amount of art to Kioh Gyoku.
- The three games in the series are Shuusou Gyoku, Kioh Gyoku, and Banshiryuu, all named after Japanese names for cactus.
- Samidare is a seihou game in spirit, though it is not actually part of the series.
- Several Touhou characters have made appearances in the Seihou games, such as Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame in Shuusou Gyoku, as well as Yuuka Kazami in Kioh Gyoku.
- Additionally, in the game Samidare, a certain area in the Extra stage is dedicated to the PC-98 era of Touhou, as you see Mr. Ghosty as a Generic enemy once again, and Yuki and Mai as the midboss of the stage, referencing to their stage 4 boss battle of Mystic Square. You can faintly see Yuki and Mai in the boss sprites; they are little more than spheres of light, but they are briefly visible at various times. It's thought their appearances is unofficial, as ZUN wasn't involved in the game.
Fandom
- Fans often refer Seihou as "the sister of Touhou".
