List of Touhou Project characters

This is a list of the characters that belong to the Touhou Project, a series of games by ZUN from Team Shanghai Alice. Most Touhou characters reside in a fictional realm called Gensokyo, where humans and yōkai coexist. Though the yōkai do often prey on the humans while the humans try to exorcise them, no racial animosity actually exists between the two. Many characters also have unique abilities, and all the non-PC-98 characters have abilities named in the fashion of "About enough power to ~~" (~~程度の能力). Since the PC-98 games (from Highly Responsive to Prayers to Mystic Square) are relatively obscure, the characters in and after Embodiment of Scarlet Devil are more widely recognized and popular.

All characters except the two main protagonists (Reimu and Marisa) are listed by the first game of their appearance.
