People won't like this thread.
They really won't like it.

Suika is the main character in my heart.

Einhänder.

flandre because of McRoll xD

>>5056546
Why not?

>>5056542
I never really had a first. Considering I got into touhou after watching a few touhou hijacks in old /a/, I had already seen quite a few before I really knew who any of them were.

>>5056546
Tough. /jp/ needs desensitizing.

>>5056555
(im op)well im kinda like that because i used to play mugen and i downloaded a yukari and reisen mugen(though i didnt know who they were at the time)first.but suika is the first one i knew by name.

This should be a suika thread. Let's make this a suika thread.

>>5056570
I can dig it.

Cirno.

Thread subject transfer to Suika mode complete.

This picture, and others like it, on /tg/ I don't know how long ago.

>>5056638
Ditto.

it was the bad apple video for me.

It's like all the secondaries came out of the woodwork for this thread.

I actually got introduced to Touhou through Hisoutensoku. A guy I knew browsed /jp/, and told me to come play it with him. A year later and here we are

I don't think any one character really introduced me to it, though

>>5056653
Tell us, wise primary fan, how did you come to play the touhou games without hearing about the touhou games?

Technically?

Reisen Udongein Inaba.

Why technically and not literally?

Because it was her theme, Invisible Full Moon, and not the girl herself.

My first exposure to touhou was probably "Marisa stole the precious thing" and my feelings on it were "wtf this is horrible". Probably a year later I tried the actual games and realized they were actually interesting, if still beyond my skill level (I at least made it to Youmu on normal without continues recently, maybe I'll beat PCB this month!)

i played samidare and liked it so i played other bullet shootans

OG, y'all

I came across some of the characters, Alice and Suika for one, on Gelbooru and liked their character designs. I don't know when I realized they were part of the Touhou games, somewhere along the way on /a/ I guess.

Still to this day, the character designs are the only thing of Touhou that interests me (never played any of the games and don't intend to).

I was searching for difficult shmups to play, and came across IN.

My eyes lit up at the pretty circles and patterns, and then I saw lolis.

Bumperz

THIS CALLS FOR DRINKING AND DANCING

...guys?

Where'd you go?

Reimu of PCB,

I kinda quit for a while after seeing the ZUN art portraits the first time I played it.

>>5056542
I had vaguely heard of Touhou, but I got interested when Remilia Scarlet showed up about a million times in my image searches for the tags 'blood loli'. I love my dark goddess.

Yukari.
I saw her, got hard and fapped, then looked her up to learn more.

>>5056682
Same with me, except I started playing EoSD right after that.

I first saw someone playing as Suika in IaMP at a convention a few years ago. Two years later I learned about Touhou and she is now my favorite.

No more Suika thread? ;_;

I saw Marisa while looking for generic "magical girls" and stumbled across all the supplementary information for the character and was intrigued. She's still my favorite PC.

Udonge, saw some IotM&E and decided to play the gaems

I didn't really get into Touhou because of a specific character, but I've always liked Reimu.

Marisa... touhoumon.

I don't remember, I was just fucking around /tg/ when some fag who kept posting pictures of little anime girls told me that there is a crazy hard shmup game called Touhou.
Being a hardcore gamer who plays hardcore games for hardcore gamers such as myself, I decided to try it out. I liked it but I didn't understand the moonrunes, so I searched for translations. I found them on touhouwiki, and ended up reading doujins there too. Then I learned that /jp/ is the 4chan board of Touhou.

nah i came here step by step. just checked out all characters first.
but i think Cirno introduced me the most cause i really liked dumb girls at that time. That's pretty much all.

>>5056542
same as OP
seriously

also where the fuck is the mahjong thread

>>5064667
>mahjong thread
Lol....sorry i could not help it.

Dat. Local Chink.

These 2, that super popular flash by IOSYS got stuck in my head and eventually caused me to seek out Touhou.
What, were you expecting Cirno? Baka~

>>5063983
People start with Touhoumon? (Also, where the f*ck can I find Emerald?)

The first Touhou-related things I saw were Marisa Stole the Precious Thing and Cruel Sisters, but I had no idea they were about Touhou. I thought IOSYS was just another cutesy Japanese web band or something. I don't remember what got me to make the leap from that to the games. Now I prefer the games to IOSYS by a long shot. Progress.

like I can remember that long ago

probably marisa. I really like witches.

oh people are posting suika

im okay with that

Marisa, I like her hat.

>>5064715
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igew34aUpTw

IOSYS Marisa Stole The Precious Thing flash.

An elegant and perfect maid who can stop time and is a knife user.

>>5064721
Yes, it's a very nice hat, pretty much the only Touhou hat I like.

>>5064674
?

>>5056542
Everyone in IaMP, because that was the first touhou related thing I saw.

>>5056542
>Mine was Suika Ibuki after i saw tsurupettan

Basically, you're saying that Umineko introduced touhou to you?

Won't lie.

Nitori from that IOSYS flash of Cucumber Beer shit.

She was moe as fuck yo.

Hard question.
I think I was introduced to touhou with a friend of mine playing the games and I started to play them too, starting with PCB.
Probably Marisa.

Though I saw the Overdrive flash back in like 04 or 05, I forget, I had no idea it was Touhou related, or even what Touhou was.

In all honesty, my first introduction to the Touhou universe was Kero ⑨ Destiny.

Mystia because of this video: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1679897

Marisa, Patchouli, Alice and Suwako with the Test in Touhou video. That and previous yukkuri sightings.

Reimu (saw someone playing MoF) and that's discounting the numerous Touhou wallpapers I had before knowing it was Touhou (in that case it'd be Sakuya)

Marisa and Alice because of MegaMari

It was the touhou hijacks for me.

I have no idea. I first got really interested thought the music, but those were tracks sent to me by a friend. But I do know that I did several Touhou-spottings a pretty long time before that.

I do remember knowing of and recognizing Marisa, Reimu and the SDM-cast for a while before I really got into it. But that's pretty normal, I guess?

Reimu because she is the main character

I am surprised to see more people have got into Touhou through IOSYS than I expected.

I always thought the usual way is to start with the games.

My first encounter with touhou was that flash game where male reisen shoots suppositories in other touhous assess.

It was love at first sight.

>>5067528
Same here, holy shit

aya because of that shoot the bullet sticky on /v/
i didn't know what touhou was prior to actually playing one

Marisa was the focus of most of the stuff that made me aware of Touhou. No, not IOSYS, Let's Plays.
I think it was Aya that convinced me to get into it myself, though.

Cirno

Little blue girl was being referenced here and there then I was in a VN thread on /a/ and somebody asked about more action-oriented Japanese games. EoSD was suggested along with a picture of little blue girl and I said oh shit, it's that little blue girl. Then I played EoSD like all day for two or three days. Then because I am one of those OCremix-type fags I searched for remixes of EoSD OST since I noticed the music was really good. Of course among other things I found IOSYS. And I still like IOSYS to this day, so fuck you. The end.

I posted a picture of a funny looking shit I took on a forum many years ago, people said it looked like "letty whiterock"

I looked it up and that's how I got to where I am roday.

My first encounter with touhou was probably a flash animation of Sakuya being abused and teased by SDM characters.

I thought it was weird and didn't gave it much attention. I watched a few seconds of other flash animations (since I was frequenting /f/ a lot at the time) now and then but never got interest. Those weren't IOSYS shit though.

After a couple of months I saw that Chirumiru Genki Cirno flash and decided "Ok, I'll google this shit to find what's that about" Then I discovered touhouwiki and after reading all character profiles and games plot I was fascinated by it, so I downloaded some of the games after a quick search on google again and was officially introduced to the touhou universe.

>>5067655
Do you still have the picture by any chance? That happens to be my ultimate fetish.

>>5067722
I still have the shit in a bag in the freezer.

>>5067714
So Locker Room Animations to IOSYS songs are shit, but Locker Room Animations to Konagusuri songs are okay?

I don't see your logic.

>>5067742
>but Locker Room Animations to Konagusuri songs are okay?

I never said it was okay. I just stated that it wasn't IOSYS stuff.

Today I really dislike most of fanon works. I enjoy canon and official works.

>>5067755
Well, I just guessed you enjoyed it somewhat, since it was what caused you to look Touhou up.

Komachi and Mystia, via a PoFV gameplay clip.

This started me down the path of the Touhoufag. I think in the post attached to this comic (or one of the next few ones) he put up the files for all the Touhou games than extant, and I got IN and PoPV.

I... I don't know

Maybe Meiling at some point in old /a/?

Actually, I'm not a faggot. I got into Touhou after looking up Cave videos on youtube, and seeing one of the Touhou games in the related videos.

I got McRolled, and loved the song.
Some troll, probably from 4chan, said the source was "an old shooter game about the U.N.". So I went and replayed U.N. Squadron.
After not hearing the tune anywhere, I somehow grabbed a rapidshit of EoSD and the rest is history.

It was Marisa.

I was looking for another board to hide out in during the summer (/v/ is horrible in the summer) and I stumbled upon a Marisa thread. Found out she was from a shmup. I was looking for a new shmup at the time and decided to try it.

The rest is history.

Hina is my favorite touhou though.

At first, I saw all of the IOSYS videos, I think I saw Overdrive first. (So it'd be Reisen, I suppose.) Then, I started to notice this one guy on youtube(Luizprower) mentioning, alot. Touhou. So, I eventually went and looked that up, and about a week later, to my shock. I found a related video linking to IOSYS, and eventually started to play the games, my first was(feel free to shoot me.) Phantasmagoria of flower view.
Un-related note: Rumia is probably my favorite Touhou.

After thinking about it, I realized I got into Touhou through the games.

>>5067842

I was extremely disappointed that Touhou was not like that pic.

>>5067736
Very similar experience to this. 'Cept I looked up Native Faith first, and decided these were the games for me. First ones were EotSD and IN.

>Marisa kirisame tripfriend on /k/
>hey what's that anime about
>become interested in touhou

When I came to /jp/, you guys teached me about touhou. Can /jp/ count as a Touhou char, since touhou is almost part of /jp/'s diary life?

BUMP

>character that introduced you to touhou

Umm, I learned of Touhou by playing the games.

Actually, it was these two.

Cirno made me play EOSD, and Wriggle made me go moe.

Youkai moe~

>>5073632
So remiu and marisa then.

>>5073671
As bad as it sounds, yes, it appears that's the case.

Arisu

Saw a thread in /v/ back in '07, didn't really give a shit about it until all those goddamn Touhou Hijacks kept popping up all over the place.

So I'm guess the first Touhou character I've been introduced to was Marisa, since she's the one that's always posted in those images commencing a hijack or whatever.

>>5073657
Cirno and Wriggle were my first Touhous too.

Yukkuris. Also Cirno.

Yuyuko

Suika here as well, though I saw her first as a mugen character

Hatate :3

So your basically a newbie?

I was boring. Marisa stole the precious thing. I had no idea who they were for months until I finally found out.

Multiple characters (saw "Bad Apple" on TV).

Reported.

>>5074786
People love to report here
