Actually, unless you're talking about the game, 東方 is pronounced *higashikata* in real Japanese. I see so many beginners saying 'toho' when discussing actual geography like eastern islands. 'Toho' is literally just game slang. If you use it in normal 交通 or daily life, people will look at you like you're 変. Learn the actual Onyomi/Kunyomi rules before you try to argue with me on this.
