“Naruko” (成子) was the original name for “Narumi” (成美) until ZUN caught himself and decided to pivot. However, ZUN didn't replace every instance in Touhou Tenkuushou, so “Naruko” became Narumi's nickname.

“Hikariko” (光子) is the Japanese nickname for the stage 4 midboss of Touhou Gensoukyou and the stage 3 midboss for Touhou Kaikidan. As a warning, this is also the word for “photon”.
