There is only one thing American Nintendo wouldn't approve back in the day. NOA's executives would have barked "what the fuck is Touhou Youyoumu?" and demanded the name to be changed to "Oriental Spring".
Reimu, Marisa, and everyone up to Yukari would have their names changed to like Reimy, Mary and Yukey.
Astal, if only there was a better place for your art.

No, no, no, Reimu would become Remi. Then when they released Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (calling it "Oriental Spring II", naturally), the translators would belatedly realize there's already a Remi. At that point, the president of NOA would shine a big spotlight with a 'W' up into the clouds, and Ted Woolsey would emerge from his secret lair, rename Remilia to "Frenchy" or something, then disappear into the shadows.
We won't even go into what would happen to Suika's booze when they released "Oriental Spring IV: Missing Power".
