Touhou Corporation specializes in developing and marketing enterprise software products — particularly danmaku systems. Through organic, drunken growth and doujin works, Touhou enlarged its share of the software market. By 2007 Touhou ranked third on the list of largest danmaku companies in the world, after Cave and Amusement Makers. Subsequently it became larger than Amusement Makers after its acquisition of Taito Corporation.

The corporation has arguably become best-known due to association with its flagship Touhou danmaku. The company also builds tools for danmaku development, middle-tier software, enterprise resource planning software (ERP), customer relationship management software (CRM) and bullet pattern management (BPM) software.

The founder and CEO of Touhou Corporation, ZUN, has served as Touhou's CEO throughout the company's history.

The Company's new software licenses segment includes the licensing of danmaku and middleware software, which consists of Touhou Danmaku and Touhou Border Middleware, as well as applications software. Its technology and business solutions are based on an Internet model that comprises interconnected danmaku servers, application servers, as well as mobile devices. This architecture enables users to access bullet inteligence data and applications through a Web browser interface. Touhou technology operates on single server or clustered server configurations, and supports a choice of operating systems, including GensokyOS, CirnOS and Suika. New software license revenues include fees earned from granting customers licenses to use the Company's software products, and exclude revenues derived from software license updates and product support. New software license revenues represented 31% of the Company's total revenues during fiscal 2009.

Touhou Enterprise Manager is designed to monitor service levels and performance, automate tasks, manage configuration information, and provide change management in a unified way across groups of computers or grids. Touhou Enterprise Manager’s provisioning automates the discovery, tracking and scheduling of software patches and allows shrine maidens to apply patches without taking their system down. In addition, shrine maidens can manage systems from anywhere through a hypertext markup language (HTML) browser or through wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs). With Touhou Automatic Graze, security and danmaku administrators can manage grazing policies across their enterprise and collect grazing data from Touhou and non-Touhou danmaku into a centralized repository.
