Touhou Project, also known as Project Shrine Maiden, is a game for crazy Japanese people and other lunatics that can somehow find the resolve to battle ginormous amounts of beam spamming and bullet hell. Some would say that the people who play it need psychological help, but it's still awesome (and the above would apply even moreso to people playing other danmaku goodness). Besides, it has dozens of lolis and kickass music (with even better remixes). These qualities have lent the series fans (actually just one, as far as we know, amongst the millions) who have never even got anywhere in the actual games themselves.

The series is about a fantasy land called Gensokyo, which magically attracts all the otherwise implausible characters that show up throughout. There's the shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei, the magician-thief Marisa Kirisame (and she's got lovely sparks) and all sorts of mystical creatures like ghosts, youkai, living dolls... yup.

The series is brought to you by Team Shanghai Alice, whose only member is some drunk alcoholic many fans call ZUN, also a former Amusement Makers member (where Touhou really started). Wonder how old he was when he started drinking.

Despite the relatively typical genre of the games, the Touhou series has inspired a huge universe around it, not to mention all sorts of crazy memes.

Characters that actually matter

Games

If all fangames are going to be included, this page will only be stretched unnecessarily, seeing how this series has much more fangames than even Sonic the Hedgehog.

Anime

So far, Touhou's not had a proper anime adaptation, mainly because until fairly recently ZUN was opposed to the creation of a Touhou anime.

There have been three attempts at very short anime adaptations...

one that was apparently too rubbish to find anymore... could do with sources on this
Musou Kakyou: A Summer Day's Dream (YouTube: part 1 part 2 part 3)
That ufotable one, Anime Tenchou x Touhou Project. Yes, that one from the infamous Sankaku article. It's 10 minutes long and came and went with nobody noticing. Baw.

+{{selfref|Listed in order of debut. For the missing ones, see [[Touhou PC98 and minor characters]].}}
-One of the main characters of the series and the only [[miko]] known... until Sanae Kochiya appears. She likes to exterminate youkai (Though, [[Friend of all living things|youkai still love her]]) and [[save the day]] because it's her duty to do so and because they're pretty annoying. Ever since [[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil|Touhou 6]], she has clothes that expose delicious [[armpits]]. She maintains the Hakurei Border of Gensokyo. No wonder why she's quite border-obsessed! She's really powerful but she [[Laziness|hates training]]; her power is mostly pure talent. Very first character with a worthless [[gatekeeper]] (Though, that gatekeeper NEVER appeared since Touhou 1) .

-Master thief of everything, from [[grimoires]] to [[precious things]], from [[chestnuts]] to [[Mega Man|even spells]]! She has powerful spells and [[Master Spark|one of those spells has her firin' har lazar!!!]] Like Reimu, she likes to save the day... except it's just for the heck of it or for the treasure. She's just as powerful as Reimu but instead of talent, she has to work her butt off to be as [[powerful]] as the miko. [[Kleptomaniac]] witch who claims herself to be more [[ordinary]] than she seems.
