Reimu Hakurei, flawless protagonist from Touhou Project.
Very Funny anecdote: when ZUN attended Anime Weekend Atlanta in 2013, someone decided to give him a giant banner with all the characters from the whoooole series. It was a FUCKING HUGE banner. This person recruited lots of artists to complete the banner (they took care of the materials and printing process), so each character was drawn by a different western artist. Of course I wanted to participate in this! It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to show my appreciation for the series to The Man Himself. The problem was that I didn't have a solid portfolio and my drawing skills weren't the best at the moment. I wasn't selected. From that day on, I took my digital illustrator career seriously.
Even though I was unable to contribute to the coolest Touhou-related project ever, it was a good thing ZUN went to America :)
When asked about the absence of boys in the games, he said: I feel as if boys get in the way of the game. I'd like to make boy characters in another game as long as the game was completely unrelated to Touhou. Boys would just ruin the balance of the series. -- that has to be one of the most hilarious responses ZUN has ever given, and it must have caused a lot of Saltiness from the usual 2hu fans, whose despair I rejoice in.
