[1] Ankou appears as a man or skeleton wearing a black robe and a large hat that conceals his face, or, on occasion, simply as a shadow.
[4] In an alternate origin, he was a cruel prince who met Death during a hunting trip and challenged him to see who could kill a black stag first.

[1] In Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story the character of Elly is more then likely based on Ankou L'Ankou, the twenty-seventh album of the Spirou et Fantasio series, written and drawn by Fournier, serialised in 1976 in the Spirou magazine, published as a hardcover album in 1977.
In the first season of Black Snow l'Ankou is referenced in a letter sealed away in a time capsule.
