This artists makes some interesting(good) crossovers between Touhou and LoL. But I suppose when you have 100 somewhat characters/champions to compare to from each franchise, your bound to get a few of them that have some sort of similarity.
Apparently there were plans for a Scythe Wielding character with the name of Komachi. She was scrapped because Riot said it was to hard to make a Scythe character look unique. I think they meant that they couldn't modify Komachi enough that she wouldn't be immediately recognized, without making her look weird. Its a shame. I would totally buy her the instant she came out...

That was the codename for a tank champion Xypherous was working on (like Riven was called Marth before announcement). If I remember correctly Xypherous said the problem was they couldn't preserve the essence of the character concept and at the same time make her look and feel like a tank. Riot really dislikes when things are counterintuitive.

Rumour has it that the Komachi concept got transformed into Thresh. The gameplay actually feels like it...
