Race: karakasa ghost
Ability: power to surprise humans

An umbrella that was left unused and became a youkai.
She was originally an umbrella that someone forgot, but since the color is unpopular, nobody ever picked her up, and she was carried off by the wind and became a youkai.

She rarely really hurts anyone, she just likes watching people be surprised.
However, not many people have been surprised by her, so she's reading classic ghost stories to improve her technique.

Yes. Compare something awesome like an immortal phoenix tomboy to a demon umbrella with a tongue that's not very good at surprising people.

Look at the character roster for UFO. A rat that can find shit and a demon umbrella that can surprise people. Two out of the three revealed characters are stupid. Compare that to all the other touhou games and it's easy to see why this shit sucks.

A compilation of Kogasa's likable traits:

- Sad past: Abandoned because her umbrella was too ugly.
- Legs.
- Tries hard to scare people without any ill-intentions or harm, and even trains by watching old horror films.
- Heterochromia.
- Legs.
- Bullied by the protagonists, who go out of their way to tell her existence is pointless and miserable. Hang in there Kogasa!
- Smooth, supple legs.

Actually I've come to love the quirks in the Touhou series that bring out some of the silliest character designs around. It's amusing watching the fanbase try desperately hard to make the latest additions look good with their fanart.

Meanwhile ZUN figures Marisa needs to have a big M on her Apron to remember everyone she is the witch who's name begins with a M. Never stop making new characters ZUN, the longer you hold from bringing more PC98 characters back, the better.

Kogasa is pretty charming (like most stage 2 bosses) if you read her dialogue, really. She's also really fun to fight on hard mode and up. Nazrin is fine for a stage 1 boss considering none of them are spectacular, and I think everyone likes stage 3.

It doesn't matter. All those super-powers are just filler text ZUN dreams up in 4 seconds before he finishes the game. None of the games will ever use them and the fanworks show a blatant disregard for them.

Untrue on both counts. The powers are referenced in the dialogue and plot (like how in IN we are told that Sakuya has stopped the night with her powers, or Keine has removed a village from history to protect it) and the fanworks will use powers when they make for good stories.
