Welcome to Touhou community on lemmy.world.

Touhou Project is a series of shoot 'em up games created by ZUN. This game series has fostered a vibrant and imaginative fandom, giving rise to numerous fan-made creations such as music arrangements, illustrations, manga, anime, and conventions.

The Touhou universe primarily revolves around Gensokyo. Within Gensokyo, the canon games feature recurring main characters who resolve various incidents. These characters include Reimu Hakurei, a powerful miko, and Marisa Kirisame, a human magician.

Touhou characters are predominantly female and encompass a wide array of folkloric Japanese monsters coexisting within Gensokyo.

Probably my first Touhou encounter was a breathtaking Mokou theme track - "Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke" by ZUN. I searched online who's ZUN and then what's Touhou, listened for a couple more tracks, liked them, but didn't really got into Touhou.

After years I saw KKHTA part 6 intro animated by PEAR, then decided to watch KKHTA (content warning) itself. I liked a lot complex non-linear narrative, lack of plot armor (these two also reminded me Homestuck, which I absolutely enjoyed) and an abrupt ending. It wasn't enough, so I finally started exploring Touhou and fan works. (still didn't complete any classic Touhou game as of today)
