Top Ten Touhou Characters

Reimu's the main protagonist! She's considered as one of the most badass and powerful characters in Touhou! I love her design also, red/white for the win!

Reimu is honestly the best. Honestly, Flandre is overrated... Everyone likes Flandre, which eventually gets a bit annoying...

Reimu is the reason I discover Touhou. Best design and her looks overall!

Raymoo is Touhou herself. Honestly, she should be number one instead of overrated Flandre.

Marisa Kirisame is the best Touhou character I have ever seen! She is the reason why I like Touhou!
She born as a human without powers but she works so hard to get this results. Aren't like Reimu Hakurei, she born to have powers but she is lazy.
And I like Marisa's personality too! She is a very determined and strong girl. She won't show her weakness to others and fight with all her strength. She is very honest and a funny burglar too

Marisa is THE proof that hard work (and some pragmatism) could get you a standing in a world that's dominated by overpowered beings. Despite countless beings underestimating the "ordinary magician", she proves to them in each and every game that perseverance could get you anywhere.

She;s just so awesome! Think of what Touhou would be like without her! She should be number 1! All her badassery at danmaku came from hard work and as far as I've seen, her danmaku is the prettiest, coolest, and possibly one the most powerful.

Marisa once gave me the big SUCC and it felt good so I'm voting for her, definitely worth your 30 dollars that you were gonna spend on gambling.

Well I think that all of the characters are sexy, but compared to this, it's nothing.

I find the ability to controll sanity to be quite original, as it's diffirent than indirectly controlling sanity via mind controll.

Reisen has been my favorite touhou for a while!

Best rabbit with best theme!

Graceful, elegant, and has almost complete control of time. Sakura Izayoi is my favorite character and the first character I got introduced to when I started playing Touhou! Like, seriously she can beat Yukari by just stopping time and aim thousands of silver knives at her.

Her ability to time stop is over powered, throwing knives, and just having the ability to make anything appear out of no where with her ability to the human eye.

For them Pokemon fans out there, she is the touhou equivalent of Dialga! She is a ' beautiful maid that throws knives with deadly accuracy! She can stop time! And she's got pa- * knifed *

Time manipulation, serious attitude, and being a maid make for one hell of a great character. Why is she #10? Because Yukari is a sore loser, that's why!

"Danmaku is all about brains, its common sense."

Alice Margatroid is special, in that she never uses her full power. She is a living example that strategy can overcome pure destructive ability if used right. She is cute too, of course

Her canon personality is awesome, unlike the tsundere one in fanon. Alice is one of the most badass character, she didn't even use her full skill yet. Beside, shanghei and hourai really add some bonus.

I like her personality and her dress she is very beautiful and I like her dolls they are very cute! : 3

What a cute girl having such powerful power!

This is by far the strongest character in Gensokyo. Hail Cirno, the strongest.

The fact that she is not #1 at the moment is insulting.

Cirno I don't know what to say she is just awesome.

We need her in 9th place. She's the breast!

Yukari may as well be called God. I mean honestly. Nice figure, classy attitude, and the super absolutely mind blowing ability to distort the boundaries of anything. And I mean ANYTHING peps. She could literally look at the horizon and grab it, even that counts as a border. Yukari could make monsters from your dreams become real by separating the boundaries of dreams and reality. She could mess up the boundaries of good and evil, of pink and green, of the border of the universe, of existing and not existing. So yeah... She is PRE-TTY strong :-p. And, well, she is just so laid back and lazy! She is awesome. I would propose to her if I was a guy. (And get rejected)...

What's left to say? She can do /any damn thing she wants/ and not die because she can just separate the boundary of life and death. Hot, laid back, powerful, owns an army of youkai... Find ONE reason to not think so.

Yukari is the Boom! She is just so strong. Her power of controlling boundaries is awesome, and I love how she acts like she knows EVERYTHING. This girl is unstoppable!

She controls all boundaries, the boundary between life and death, the boundary between a pencil and paper, the boundary between the number 3 and a tuna sandwich.

I don't think some people really like Flandre, just her song and fandom interpretation. She is NOT crazy and does NOT want anybody's blood or insides! She's weird but CANONICALLY rarely angry! Powerful people are not necessarily a murderer. Yuyuko is an example of this. Fandom is going too far with her, she is 'kinda nuts' but not bipolar or insane. And her song is SO overrated, I bet half the people who voted for her like her song more than her.

I think Flandre is the best Touhou character. She isn't canonically crazy and has the coolest ability. From a game designer's perspective, Flandre's character design is AMAZING, I really like those wings, which were a nice touch.

Most abilities in touhou are very complex but flandre's ability is simply put. She has the ability to destroy absolutely anything just by squeezing her hand how awesome is that! To top it off she's a vampire which means her physical abilities are super advanced as well. When U.N. was her starts to play run.

Flandre is so cute! Though she is crazy, she makes you think of a crazy, adorable, little sister. She is really cool too! Her wings are colorful and beautiful, her hat is cute, and her dress is so adorable! Please more votes for Flan-Chan!

She is a good character. She would be great protagonist, a great supporting character or even a great episodic character. She has a lot of knowledge (heh) and a good amount of specific character flaws. She is also very relatable to me.

She have the ability to manipulate 7 elements, while only 5 of them is enough to create life on earth. And just with 5 elements, "Fire Water Wood Metal Earth Sign: Philosopher's Stone" has already been one of the most powerful spellcard in the game. If she didn't have poor health / physical abilities, think what will happen if she's able to research and really cast an amazing 7-element spell? She's the best witch / magician in my opinion, far more powerful than Marisa and Alice. I mean... without her casual asthma

I just can't help but love Patchouli. Mainly because of her looks, but then there's her attitude. I personally am into that slightly rude type she is, and then comes that part which likes to gather information or -knowledge- which I also feel lightly identified with. Also, bookworms just... Ahh~.

Not trying to sound rude but why is she so popular? I mean I don't dislike her but compared to characters she's put together with in fandom like Marisa or Alice, she's pretty shallow in character.

Remilia is so overrated. She mooches off Flandre and Sakuya in the fandom and wouldn't be so popular if it weren't for those two. And I don't THINK she can really manipulate fate. According to Akyuu, her real power is to make someone more likely to encounter rare things, so it's probably the ability to give/take away luck. And don't forget we're talking about a little brat here. She lied about being related to Count Tepes so this whole fate nonsense could also be a bold-faced lie, especially considering this ability can only ever be canonically READ about and all evidence comes from Akyuu, who thinks Mokou came from a family of ninjas, Kaguya and Eirin are humans and doesn't know some things about certain characters. Also, everything about Remilia's powers come with 'it is said' or 'theoratically'.Don't just take things at face value people, I'm sick of seeing Remilia near the top of powerful character lists for some unclear and possibly unreal ability.

I don't get why Remilia is so popular. She's a spoiled, bossy brat who locked her little sister in the basement for 495 years instead of talking to her about her powers (come on Remilia, if you lock a semi-insane little girl all by herself in the basement for that long, isn't she going to be MORE likely to destroy everything? ). She just doesn't give me the impression of being a final boss and her fate manipulation ability is probably bogus. Even Hieda no Akyuu makes mistakes in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense (She says Mokou comes from a family of anti-youkai ninjas). She's a spoiled brat who locked her sister in the basement so she doesn't have to deal with her and ACTS like a charismatic vampire. I think Flandre is overrated, but Flandre deserves Flandre's reputation more than Remilia deserves Remilia's. And the fandom tries to redeem this little ****.

Incredibly powerful vampire who's relatively harmless. Light-hearted girl who can be very serious when necessary. Septette for the Dead Princess. All you arguments were just made invalid.

She's the charismatic vampire mistress of the scarlet devil mansion. That's pretty cool in my opinion. Also she is very cute.

Cute faces, dresses, and personality. And yes, not as elegant as Sakuya but her serious attitude is really cute combined with her personality. Has cute portable flying ghosthalf pillow.

Who dislikes a half-ghost kid with swords?

No no, Youmu. You're the cutest person I've ever had.

Badass strong and a overall nice design!

For goodness sake, she is immortal!
She may feel injuries, but still, she can't die. Honestly.

She manages to be cool even with all her bows. Her theme is absolutely amazing.

Hottest touhou. (See what I did there? )

Just an epic character.
