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. 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) 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). He's got guts.

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

Reimu Hakurei

One of the main characters of the series and the only miko known... until Sanae Kochiya appears. She likes to exterminate youkai (Though, youkai still love her) and save the day because it's her duty to do so and because they're pretty annoying. Ever since 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 hates training; her power is mostly pure talent. Very first character with a worthless gatekeeper (Though, that gatekeeper NEVER appeared since Touhou 1) .

Marisa Kirisame

Master thief of everything, from grimoires to precious things, from chestnuts to even spells! She has powerful spells and 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.

The rest can be found in the articles of the games of their debut.

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.
