The Touhou Project has a long and colorful history with regard to its translations. The names of characters are an especially interesting topic, as it involves the careful intertwining of several languages.

In this video, I look at different ways in which Touhou fans tend to pronounce different Touhou character names, and give information about languages like Japanese and Chinese in how they shape the actual names. This will also have ties into the actual Touhou Lore and Japanese history. You'll be sure to learn all sorts of neat Touhou Facts from this video.
