FTK's Canon

Like most Touhou Project fanworks, and because of ZUN encouraging alternative interpretation or expansion, Find the Koishis diverts from established Touhou Project canon on several aspects. Usually, this is for sake of comedic justification, or because of personal headcanons seeping into development.
== Personalities ==
* Yukari Yakumo is portrayed more akin to an internet troll, as opposed to a personality described as 'youkai-like'. She also has shades of a 'mocking mother' persona, as her FTK1 dialogue has her nickname the player a "good boy".
* Fujiwara no Mokou casually drops her hatred of Kaguya Houraisan after she just met the player, in contrast to her more reserved personality in canon. One can argue it's simply her trying to explain to the player why there's a rabbit in the windows of Eientei, because context is necessary when you're about to get a bullet through the head from two stories above you.
* Aya Shameimaru is portrayed as an extreme annoyance to everyone in existence, including the player, rather than a story-chasing & sensationalizing journalist.
* Sanae appears to be relegated to an insignificant role in FTK2's story in contrast to her and the Moriya Shrine's significant presence in most Touhou games beginning after Mountain of Faith.
* Reimu Hakurei is probably the biggest offender of FTKization, as her airheaded yet stalwart personality has been generally exchanged for a depressive and existential mood. This miserable portrayal of the protagonist is derived from a personal headcanon of Mare.
== Koishis ==
Aside from the obvious fact that Koishi Komeiji does not have the ability to perform mitosis on a macroscopic scale, many Koishis retain aspects common to fanon-exclusive interpretations of certain characters, Touhou or otherwise.
* Daiyoushi and Koishokuma lend their names to the fanon Daiyousei and Koakuma, established due to neither of the characters receiving names in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
* Toyosatomimi no Miko rarely uses her sword. Ironically, Okina Matara (who also uses symbolism of the Seven Star Sword, the weapon Miko holds in a sheath on herself) uses it more often.
* Mononobe no Futoishi (and related)'s gimmick(s) is based on an overexaggeration of Mononobe no Futo's hatred of Buddhism, to a point where she will burn down anything even remotely relevant to it.
== Geography ==
* The elevators shouldn't allow entry into Gensokyo in the first place, given that the place is surrounded by a (dubiously) impervious metaphysical boundary that divides it from the rest of the known world; after all, pressing the G-button wouldn't get you to Gensokyo, it'd take you to the ground floor of a building. The koisherminal.carrd.co website appears to give an explanation for this by claiming that the barrier is made of a supertensile material "greatly stronger than carbon" and was simply pierced through by a drill or other perforating mechanism.
* While Gensokyo has never had an established geographic map (locations have often been primarily deduced and inferred based on descriptions and word of ZUN), both depictions of the place would probably make any Touhou cartographer scream bloody murder and mutilate their roommates.
* Gensokyo has never had a desert (nor did it have Ancient Egypt), is confirmed to be landlocked, and does not have a mysteriously present candy world. It does, however, have (multiple) underworlds and a large forest. The koisherminal.carrd.co website claimed that areas such as Cinnamon Acre were brought about due to the elevators piercing through established boundaries like a syringe into flesh, but the currently deprecated status of the website puts the explanation of such locations' origins into question.
* Der Vindicrater and New Heresy's locations are ambiguous; no indication has been made that they are related to Former Hell, nor are they related to 'Current' Hell. While Der Vindicrater can be inferred to be Former Hell, due to the fact that Touhou canon describes (and shows) Former Hell as an urban environment, the architecture of both locations contrast each other. One can also claim that both locations are Former Hell because the buildings appear to be abandoned.
