Cosplay Holic

Known to be a hard worker, Marisa is trying to catch up to Reimu with her secret training and magic development. This makes her a good contrast to other humans appearing in the series because most of them either have natural born talent like Reimu, or strong abilities like Sakuya. So she is sometimes referred as the “most human-ish human” in Touhou Project.

Cute cosplayer! It looks like she’s in a convention hall. I wonder which one? Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

A very smart, asthmatic magician from the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Patchouli Knowledge is quite popular despite having only a small number of appearances in the Touhou Project games. She has only been a boss in one game, and a playable character in three others, but she does show up in many endings and is referenced quite often. She spends most of her time in the mansion’s library, where she both reads and writes magical books.

With all of my cosplay features from this game, I think it’s about time I try it for myself. Thanks again to Ahupito for sending this in!

In Touhou Project 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, Sakuya was initially commanded by Remilia Scarlet to find all possible suspects behind the strange weather. When Remilia grew tired of “questioning”, she then ordered Sakuya to personally find and deal with the culprit. After doing so, she told Reimu where to find the culprit and helped rebuild the Hakurei Shrine after it was destroyed for the second time.

That’s an interesting outfit for Sakuya. I wonder if this an official costume or a fan-made one? Thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this in!

I thought I'd finished going through all of the unknown cosplays I had, but I guess I have more hidden away in my older folders. Looks like I have a lot more organizing to do!

To be honest, that looks more like a hanbok (the Korean national dress) than a kimono. However, this was taken in Japan’s Comiket 78, so it should be from an anime or manga, even if it is a Korean series, right?

I’ll leave you guys to tell me who she is, because I really have no clue. She’s very cute though, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks to Ingrid for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know this is Houraisan Kaguya from Touhou Project!

In the events that occurred in Touhou Hisoutensoku, Cirno has matured, albeit slightly, from her usual childish behavior. Cirno was intrigued by what she believed to be the great Daidarabotchi. She hoped that she could tame the giant yokai so that she would no longer be afraid of anything. However, she admitted that she could not defeat the Daidarabotchi if it lives in the hot spring’s boiler as it is too hot for her.

Cute cosplay from Comiket 78! She even has a pair of cute wings on her back, but I still wouldn’t mess with her. I wonder who that character is, sitting behind her? Thanks to Olive for sending this in!

The vampire mistress of Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia Scarlet claims to be the descendent of Vlad III Dracula, although this information has been revealed to be false. She is nicknamed the “Scarlet Devil” because when she feeds, the blood of her victims stains her dress red. She is hardly malicious, however, merely childish despite being over 500 years old.

I was a little confused at first, because the first Remilia I featured had purple hair. But I found several artworks that depict her with green hair too! So unless someone tells me otherwise, I think she’s cosplaying Remilia, and Nel thinks so too. Thanks a lot for sending this in!

Making her first appearance in the second game “Story of the Eastern Wonderland” as an enemy, Kirisame Marisa is a human magician who lives in a cluttered house in the Forest of Magic. Although she is considered to be friends with Reimu, she prefers being alone and spends most of her time researching magic. Marisa is also an avid collector of many items and has a tendency of “borrowing” things without returning them.

Cute cosplayer from Comiket 77! She actually looks kind of… familiar. I just don’t know which cosplayer she is! Thanks again to Michelle for sending this in!

Easily one of the most enigmatic characters despite appearing in so many games, Izayoi Sakuya is the Chief Maid of Scarlet Devil Mansion who has the power to stop time. Her ability is a handy way of doing large amounts of maid work in a shorter timespan. Because most of the people living or working in the mansion are maids, there are few people with more authority within the mansion than Sakuya.

Cute cosplay by Lenfried! It looks like another photo from Comiket 2010. Then again, I’m not really sure which year this is! Thanks to Yani for sending this in!

Did you know that two or more "Reimu"s may exist in the Touhou Universe?

Apparently, there are circumstantial evidences suggesting that the Reimu from the PC-98 games may have been the ancestor of the Reimu from the Windows games. Despite Kazami Yuuka and Alice Margatroid “knowing” Reimu, they seem to compare instead of recalling a memory. Also, a different looking Reimu engaged Yakumo Yukari in battle after setting up the border in the Touhou Kinema-Kan animations, along with the fact that Reimu’s family may have also known Yukari for a long time.

It’s unlikely, but a trivia like this is always fun to read! I don’t know Touhou enough to know where this outfit is from, and are those other Touhou characters in the background? Thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this in!
