Today I'm looking at some of the most popular/well known Touhou fan-characters that have been created over the years. There's many reasons why fan characters are made, and even more reasons when they get wide recognition. Enjoy a look through the varied history of fan-characters, some of which are technically more Canon than Fanon.
