The new Touhou character from the Febri comic

Posted under General

Her title and name are given as 片腕有角の仙人 茨華仙(茨木華扇) in the comic, and she introduces herself as 茨華仙, so I think the best tag based on what's out now is probably ibara_kasen, and not ibaraki_kasen. (Touhou Wiki is not a useful reference in this case - I wrote that article, so you could say it's biased.)

However, all of the existing posts have been changed to ibaraki_kasen, and there are a couple of new posts using that tag, as well. I was going to change it back later tonight, but I wanted to document why somewhere and give people a chance to object first ... I'd say we want to alias one to the other (I'd vote for ibaraki_kasen → ibara_kasen for now). The alias direction may change later based on events in the comic.

Her proper name is indeed "Ibaraki Kasen", while "Ibarakasen" (no space) is her name as a hermit. If I recall correctly, even the spelling is different. "Ibara Kasen" implies Ibara is her family name which it isn't, so I agree the tag should be aliased back to ibaraki_kasen, or to ibarakasen (which I don't support because that's the title, not the name).
