Touhou 
 Touhou or Touhou Project (Japanese: 東方Project, Hepburn version: Tōhō Purojekuto) is a series of space shooter bullet hell games developed by a single individual game developer Team Shanghai Alice.
Touhou 
 From the year 1995, the team leader, Jun'ya Ota, also and mainly known as ZUN, has made code, art, writing and music for the series, publishing 18 main series games and five spin-offs as of May 2021.
Touhou 
 He has also written manga print works and composed albums, and worked together with the developer Twilight Frontier on six Touhou fighting games.
Touhou 
 The games are set in Gensokyo, a place sealed from the outside world where mostly humans and youkai live.
Touhou 
 Youkai are creatures from Japanese folklore that are represented as people in the game as female characters most of the time.
Touhou 
 Reimu Hakurei, the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine and the main character of the series, is often involved in settling supernatural incidents in and around Gensokyo.
Touhou 
 Other main characters include Marisa Kirisame, a witch, Sakuya Izayoi, a maid, Reisen Udongein Inaba, a moon rabbit, and Sanae Kochiya, a shrine maiden at the competing Moriya Shrine.

Touhou 
 More sequels followed, including some spin-offs that were different from the normal bullet hell format.
Touhou 
 This game series has been very famous for being a large source of doujin content as different types of media such as songs, artworks, games and stories have been made by the followers of Touhou Project, and as a result it has gained a very large following outside Japan, due to the small amount of rules regarding copyright set up by ZUN.
