Characters

As a licensed spin-off from the mainline Touhou Project games, Touhou Lost Word takes place in the same Gensokyo (...debatably) as the games, and thus reintroduces many characters seen previously. As the concept of names and their significance are a plot (and therefore game) cornerstone, Touhou Lost Word practically relies on bringing back popular or significant youkai in order to explore their significance.

While the cast of the Touhou Project is quite large, only a small portion have been integrated into the character as playable units. It is thought that more will be added eventually as the game rolls out, though which ones exactly is unknown.
