What Are Your Top 10 Favorite Touhou Character And Your Experience With Touhou? (Definitely not trying to start any series, or taking notes to members)

[Gou the frog]

I was just a tad bit curious about everyone taste in Touhou. That's all. 

No, of course not, there's nothing fishy here, nor trying to note down info of all things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sincere smile from Gou. :>

I couldn't decide on who my top 10 favourites were, so I used a sorter to help me out. It's not 100% accurate and there isn't any I dislike regardless of their rank. Parsee  

[Tayaya]

(too lazy to use a sorter) My top ten are- 

1-Aya 

2-Mokou

3-Okuu

4-Youmu

5-Keiki

6-Prismriver sisters

7-Medicine Melancholy

8-Yuuka

9-Marisa

10-Reimu

[Tenkko]

Something like this (feat. 11th Aya). Really the only consistent ones are the top 3 (maybe top 5).

[Gou the frog]

(Hehe This would indeed help, now to stalk watch their posts)

You guys have some really interesting picks. Don't worry about mine, I promise ya, I'll tell you about it tomorrow morning.

[Thrakerzod]

according to a sorter my top 10 is
10 Flandre
9 Kosuzu
8 Star (no idea how she got into my top 10 when neither of the other Faries of Light did, Luna is my favourite of the 3 but the sorter ended with her in 14th place)
7 Satori
6 Sakuya
5 Patchouli
4 Medicine
3 Tenshi
2 Kyouko
1 Mystia

in case my top 2 don't make it obvious I've been playing a lot of Mystia's Izakaya

[Cosmic]

1 - Aya

2 - Komachi

3 - Saki

4 - Utsuho

5 - Sumireko

6 - Mamizou

7 - Futo (this one's 90% just for how she plays in the fighting games)

8 - Yuugi

9 - Mokou

10 - Marisa

And if we're counting fangames (which I know we're not but shhh), replace Marisa with Homura from Glory of Deep Skies.

[Isaac]

Great see to everyone's favourites, you guys all have interesting choices! My top 3 are the most consistent too!

So true, Aya gang

[buskerdog]

Hmmm, I haven't done sorter in a long time, maybe now I should go and do it again... I guess I'll come back and make a post here later with my list and my experiences with Touhou, although since I've been on this forum a good while, I'm sure you could dig up such information if you found past posts of mine.

My favourite is Reimu (unsurprisingly).

Mystia's Izakaya is quite a cute game. I have been watching AspreyFM play it live, and whenever he says the lines for Chen, the accent chosen cracks me up. Also, I find the idea of having Chen as a loan shark rather amusing to begin with. 

(when are we gonna get this game in here?)

I was JUST talking about my top 5 Touhou characters with a friend of mine, so here's my top 10:
1.Utsuho  (Well...that one is quite obvious)
2.Yukari 
3.Alice
4.Youmu
5.Mokou
6.Koishi
7.Reisen
8.Marisa
9.Byakuren (Have to thank a friend of mine for introducing me to her)
10.Rinnosuke

[CountVonNumenor]

For me, the current top 10 would be

1. Hieda no Akyuu
2. Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu
3. Renko Usami
4. Maribel Hearn
5. Youmu Konpaku
6. Yuuka Kazami
7. Mayumi Joutouguu
8. Raiko Horikawa
9. Tenkyuu Chimata 
10. Utsuho Reiuji

Why I like each of them, at least in terms of what the fandom has created about them, is something I have written about in one of my first threads since I joined the Shrine almost 2 months ago 

 

[TheM3ds]

Oh man, whenever I do a character sorter I have trouble deciding which one of them I like over the other since there's so many to work with, while this doesn't perfectly represent my tastes, I've done the best I can to sort out my favorites. I had to exclude characters from the PC-98 era so that means no mima, shinki or kotohime sadly, I also excluded the printed works and music CD's here too, sorry to all the Renko and Marble fans. (For some reason I couldn't crop the image the way I wanted to but oh well this sorter was already a mess anyway).

I'm glad to see some people here love Mokou, Mokou fans are cool.

Edit: I forget to mention that I've also excluded characters from Touhou 17, 17.5 and 18, so if you don't see anyone from those games on this sorter list then that's why.

[Gou the frog]

My list here:

 

 

I've done it three times, and the top 10 list is pretty consistent. 

I also see that we have very similar taste.

Despite Okuu being my 3rd, SA is definitely my fav cause of her boss battle.

[Isaac]

Loving the Mokou and Yuugi respect! SA is my favourite one too!

[Gou the frog]

Now that I realized, where is my No.2 & No.8, I don't think the sorter can handle me: Most of the time it being ties.

Well, for me it's between SA or MS. Wait, where's IN?

[sodaodaoda]

Aw man, it's hard to pick a top 10, but here's my top 5:
1. Alice Margatroid
2. Hong Meiling
3. Marisa Kirisame
4. Youmu Konpaku
5. Yukari Yakumo

Although, I also like Ran, Yuuka, Komachi, Eiki, Kogasa, and more, but they are more general likes, not favorites (but they're still cool tho :3)

As for the general experience, I can only say positive things. I adore Touhou, I love every part of its lore and I love the characters, and at this point, Touhou is one of the few things that make me genuinely happy.

[buskerdog]

Alright, here are my updated sorter results for 2022. Unsurprising that Reimu and Marisa stay at the top, but interesting to see that Sakuya has fallen off. Also apparently I have 3 no. 6, haha what??? I would probably reorder those ties like so: 6: Mokou, 7 Patchouli, and 8 Kaguya. Just a disclaimer, I did remove PC-98, Manga and some spinoff characters to save myself some time, but on second thought maybe I shouldn't have because Kosuzu is amazing.

OK, so it turns out I've used up all of my image upload space, so I guess I just have to type out what my top 10 were:

1. Reimu Hakurei

2. Marisa Kirisame

3. Yukari Yakumo

4. Keine Kamishirasawa

5. Alice Margatroid

6. Kaguya Houraisan

Also 6. Patchouli Knowledge

Also 6. Fujiwara no Mokou

9. Yuyuko Saigyouji

10. Sanae Kochiya

I've always loved the official material ever since I got into it, from the moment I started Touhou 6 I knew I was getting into something special, and the fact that ZUN is so open about fan works has only made the whole thing even better, as it's added a whole other layer of things to enjoy about Touhou. The fact he's also a solo developer and the whole doujin culture thing has really been a huge source of inspiration to me, as someone who fancies indie game development.

Same, they're both relatively low on my list but I really like them, Touhou just happens to have a lot of likeable characters

1. Yukari

2. Sakuya

Just got far enough in UM's extra stage to fight Himemushi (can't beat her though which is big sad) and she's now one of my favorites, no idea where I'd put her on my ranking but I like her
