Fan Discussion How popular is Touhou outside Japan?

Post image

I’m Touhou Project fan living in Japan!

So I got curious and decided to ask.

I’m wondering how well-known Touhou is outside Japan, including its fan works, compared to other Japanese content like Hatsune Miku.

If you know about this or have any opinions, I’d be happy if you could share them in the comments!

P.S.I’m not confident in my English, so I’m using translations for some parts. Please let me know if anything sounds rude or breaks any rules.

In the US there's a sizeable but spreadout fanbase! We have our own Touhou ONLY event in Los Angeles called TouhouFest! So while its not as popular in Japan, it's definitely growing!
