Fun Facts

Rinnosuke is the only character who has appeared in all seasons, as a permanent host.
Shikieiki Yamaxanadu is the founder of the Touhou M-1 Grand Prix and the director of judges.
Ran is the only character who has appeared as a host, a judge, and in manzai.
Marisa has done the most number of manzai: five. (not counting the one with the fake Marisa nor the bonus one with Rinnosuke)
Marisa, Utsuho, and Orin are the only characters who have gotten into the finals twice.
Tewi, Reimu and Marisa are the only characters who have appeared doing manzai in three different seasons.
Even though she has appeared as both a host and a judge, Sakuya has possibly never done a manzai at all. This is not a coincidence, since she even states she is too busy doing her job as a maid. However, Shikieiki states this is because she didn't have a good partner (who that partner was remains unknown).
The SA cast is the one with the most number of winners: four (Utsuho, Rin, Parsee and Yuugi). Satori and Koishi also got into the finals once.
- Also, the IN cast is the one with the most number of losers: six of them have participated, three have got into the finals, none of them have won.
All the characters from UFO appeared in the 5th Grand Prix.
In the 5th Grand Prix, Nue transforms in various characters: Reisen midway the Tewireisen manzai (you can tell by the different colors of her ears and you can see her sillhouette when Tewi attacks her); Murasa that apppears during Nitori and Hina's manzai (you can see the different colour of the skarf); Chen during the last judgings.
All the characters from Ten Desires appeared in the 7th Grand Prix.
Mima is the only character from the PC-98 era who has made a cameo.
Tenshi and Iku are the only characters from the Windows era who have yet made an appearance.
It seems Lunarian people have some interest in Utsuho: During the 4th Grand Prix, Kaguya wanted Okuu to become her servant, but this was stopped by Satori; and during the 6th, Yorihime wanted to train Okuu's skills in manzai as the boke role. However, Okuu unconsciously rejected her offer, as the bird-brain she is.
Nitori, Hina, and Tewi are the only characters that have done a manzai in two consecutive seasons.
The 7th M-1 Grand Prix is the very first season which doesn't feature any member of the Yakumo family (Yukari/Ran/Chen).
SpinKappa and Okuu are the only winners of a Grand Prix that haven't appeared as judges or hosts yet.
Since the 1st Grand Prix, Lily White has been known for being speechless, communicating only with the chirping sound she makes in PoFV. Nitori invented a voice translator for her; however, it is boldly shown the voice used for the translator is actually Hatsune Miku.
"Burning Love" (Rumia and Wriggle) are probably the most persevering couple, since they have appeared at the losers studio in all seasons. They even did a short manzai in the 3rd Grand Prix.
All characters who have won a Grand Prix, except Reimu, Marisa and Yuugi, have done it in their first appearance doing a manzai.

Warai no Uzume no Mikoto

Warai no Uzume no Mikoto, one of the judges for the 6th Grand Prix, is an original character, which is probably why her face is censored. She is the goddess of laughter and comedy, and she might be based in Ame no Uzume no Mikoto, just adding "Warai" to her name which means "laughter".

She has won several Lunarian M-1 Grand Prix, and she is also a judge for the preliminary rounds of the "Kingdom of Gods M-1 Grand Prix". She is seen in the credits roll of the 6th Grand Prix next to her couple, who is a man probably based on Sarutahiko Okami, Ame no Uzume's husband.

Go-Reisho Document

The Go-Reisho Document is a book written by the goddess of laughter herself. Whoever reads this book will gain as much skills for comedy as the gods.

Warning: Several spoilers below

During Kekkai Shoujou's judging in the 1st Grand Prix, Yukari asks Ran to get a human for her. At the end, Ran kidnaps Marisa for Yukari.

In the extra scene of the 2nd Grand Prix, Marisa reappears in front of Reimu. Marisa tells Reimu that she was able to steal the Go-Reisho Document, and that way, they would win the next Grand Prix easily.

Marisa officially comes back as Reimu's partner in the 3rd Grand Prix, however, Alice had used a fake doll Marisa as a replacement. When Alice sees the real Marisa coming, she explains herself saying that everyone had thought Marisa had been eaten by Yukari.

In the 6th Grand Prix, Warai Uzume, the goddess of laughter, appears as a judge, next to Yorihime and Yukari. The prize for this Grand Prix would be the Go-Reisho Document, which was won by Tokamak Club, but happened to be fake as Shikieiki's stated in an intermission. Then, Yorihime explained what really happened, just before Yukari fled:

Marisa exchanged the actual Go-Reisho Document for a fake one, the one that was used as the prize for the 6th Grand Prix. When Yukari kidnapped Marisa, she kept the actual Go-Reisho Document, erasing Marisa's memories. However, while nobody was at Yukari's house, Komachi had gone to get back the actual Document.

Shikieiki and Komachi, together as Binary Drop, then had to defend their property over the actual Go-Reisho Document in a final round against Tokamak Club, which they won with an unanimous decision by the judges.
