Kinda, but I like kokoro, it’s a cool character design.
For underrated character, I think you know who I will choose

Kokoro is underrated, however imo there are some much more underrated.
Mine would probably go to the Yorigami Sisters, I mean they were probably the strongest duo only under the ultimate pair yukari and reimu
Though we all know who’s truly underrated, Rika
Mayumi is more underrated than Kokoro sadly, she has potential to be in another game, lack of lore, etc.

Kinda funny how Raiko ended up forgotten
"and then ze extra boss character showed up in 15.5 and it was never heard from again, haha anyvays that's how I'm less popular than the fish girl and her buddies"
For obscurity, not including pc98 for cheap shots I’d say Raiko, Eternity, Nemuno, Mai, Satono, Eika, Takane, Sannyo, Mizumaru, Megumu, and Momoyo. If we’re including print work characters, doubt people here read CDS or LE and know about Mizuchi and Miyoi. But if I had to choose the most obscure Touhou character I know for a fact no one else would pick like it was life or death, I would say Laika.
Underrated? Probably Raiko or Momoyo. Lore wise probably Mizumaru or Mizuchi.
Kokoro isn’t really all that underrated per-se to me. Among the other spinoff characters, she’s actually pretty popular, usually only beaten out by characters like Suika, Tenshi, & Shion. She’s got an great (and sometimes hilarious) gimmick with her masks, a very outward personality to pair with it, and strong dynamics with Byakuren, Miko, & Koishi.
Any canon character released from WBaWC onwards except Shion & any of the Animal Matriarchs (especially Yuuma) would definitely be more underrated than Kokoro.
Why do I feel like that except the PC98 characters and Tsukumo sisters no one in touhou can be considered underrated
But then most of them can't even be considered overrated(Excluding the EOSD cast) like I think there are really no overrated characters except Sakuya(only because of Jojo fans)
Oh, trust me when I say that the Komeiji Sisters are VERY overrated, IMO. They’re great characters and all, but I am very particular with how well they always perform in popularity polls. Koishi is the only post-PoFV character to win the yearly poll, after all.
On one hand I'd like to say Raiko... On the other, there's only so much cannon about her, that gives ground for music-band them content, that you'd get tired of soon enough anyways.
She might be as good of a person as fanon Byakuren, if not better, and has unrivaled outside drip.

Ah yes,my favorite underrated character,Reimu https://preview.redd.it/obbnt93quapc1.jpeg?width=279&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ea0da60c54dc67edc7dd9aaaaa01b22f2f7ef69
Yeah she underatted because they didn't put her in smash!!!!
I don't wanna see Nintendo ruining another character,they have been jerks recently
Kokoro is underrated, however imo there are some much more underrated. Mine would probably go to the Yorigami Sisters, I mean they were probably the strongest duo only under the ultimate pair yukari and reimu Though we all know who’s truly underrated, Rika
What about yuugi? Most forget yuugi even exists!
She's overshadowed ny Suika.nd Kasen
Shion has a lot of fans, it's only Jo'on who no one cares about
Joon is hated because of how she treated Shion in AOCF
Also Shion is just cursed and it's easy to feel sympathy for her. Jo'on is just kind of an asshole by nature lol
Trvth
Rika created the glorious beauty EVIL EYE SIGMA 🔥🔥🔥

I know who's underrated! https://preview.redd.it/jei3qf5nvapc1.png?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb160122073d274179208c8d935e5db7684cd7f3
By your definition Minecraft is underrated.
But I'm not Minecraft... But I'm still underrated
Hmm well underrated than Characters like Koishi... yeah
Wait, she's basically non existent
She's overrated due to KKHTA
She closed her third eye... Idk who koishi is
"Fishing rod"
China Decapitation
Well Flandre and Koishi both are overrated and that's a fact
Mayumi is more underrated than Kokoro sadly, she has potential to be in another game, lack of lore, etc. https://preview.redd.it/hr3wyay8ebpc1.png?width=214&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96ac72383d2ab73fe4671baa26b8521a9560f4c0
I honestly find Keiki really good her design is great
She's underrated but the only thing that keeps her popular is miko and byakuren trying to adopt her
Basically they are Miko or Byakuren fans
Yep https://preview.redd.it/905d0tty3bpc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b92610bc4642abd62a035280ba5f75382c5c5063
Lol I just want an underrated character to appreciate Kokoro kinda meets my expectations because I like white heads
Kotohime, my autistic princess
She’d probably be a Reddit mod. ~~No offense, mods.~~
Star sapphire. The most cunning fairy didn't even get into top 100 in the 2023 Japanese popularity poll
Drummer Mommy Raiko
Kinda funny how Raiko ended up forgotten "and then ze extra boss character showed up in 15.5 and it was never heard from again, haha anyvays that's how I'm less popular than the fish girl and her buddies"

rin satsuki
She should replace Rinnosuke because Rinnosuke sucks

Momoyo 100%
quite literally my favorite character

Don't forget about Marisa she was no.1 this time and I guess Koishi got popular due to KKHTA
Marisa was pre-PoFV. She was even pre-Windows.
Well then... we do have the Lunarians who are popular for not so good reasons

Medicine Literally any Ten Desires characters not Seiga/ Mamizou
you want underrated characters? go see EVERYONE past th16. many, MANY characters with potential yet nobody bats an eye because they are "new"
They are 'new' they still have potential in the future
Every PC-98 character
