This is a guide to the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters from the BulletHell computer game series ''Franchise/{{Touhou}} Project'' and related official works.

Some things to keep in mind before we get started:

Character names here all use [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_romanization Hepburn romanization]] despite ZUN mostly having switched to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunrei-shiki_romanization Kunrei-shiki]] after ''Imperishable Night'', as it's the system most people are familiar with.

All examples should be [[WordOfGod canon]] or fanon that has undergone mass MemeticMutation. While the fandom is an important part of the overall ''Touhou'' experience, we don't want things to get crowded with examples from a single circle's work.

As with all character pages, be aware that are '''spoilers ahead'''.
