I don't think Tenma is a karasu tengu.

Well, Lord Tenma is the chief of the tengu.

Correct. Tenma's a Daitengu. Daitengu are the long-nosed, red-faced tengu.

because the Touhou-verse accurately depicts mythological creatures such as kappa :P

Actually, Nitori's design is quite clever when you think about it.

Nonetheless, it's just nitpicking and going into Tengu lore would be dreadfully boring for anyone besides me.

Actually this is what Perfect Memento said:
There are various types of tengu, including:
the tengu boss, Tenma
the management types, Daitengu
the nimble information corps, Crow Tengu (Aya)
the ones who specialize in office work, Hanataka Tengu
the mountain's defense force, White Wolf Tengu (Momiji)
and the printers, Yamabushi Tengu.

So lord Tenma is a tenma?

Its clever, but it also means she should be bald under that hat or she has some sort of dent in her head full of water and if she bows she'll die. I'll take Gensokoyu's "spitting on mythological accuracy-Rule of Cool/Cute" approach any day!

Amen to that, brother.
