The 東方Project is a series of 2D (with 3D background) vertically-scrolling danmaku shooting games made by Team Shanghai Alice.

Main Characters
These are the main characters that appear playable in every game.

Koishi Komeiji
Koishi is a kind-hearted, carefree personality. However, despite this, she is angered rather easily if taunted. Her dialogues are sometimes short and she is quick to challenge someone to a fight. She also can read the subconscious minds as well. While her third eye is closed permanently, sometimes in her spells it can appear open, but this is only seen in the most powerful of her spell cards.

Satori Komeiji
She is the sister of Koishi. She has the ability to read minds and copy spells with her third eye. Unlike OTL, she is more aggressive, and somewhat less easy-going.

Hina Kagiyama
Her home lies in the Youkai Mountain. She can manipulate curses and stockpile misfortune. She has a moderate personality, but is sometimes a bit cold-hearted.

Minamitsu Murasa
She is the ghostly Capitan of a lost ship. She is a somewhat cold-hearted person, and is not easy to get along with. She likes to cause shipwrecks, as well as having the ability to manipulate tsunamis.

Sub-main characters
These characters are playable in some games, sometimes taking an active role in the series.

Utsuho Reiuji
She was formerly the pet of Satori Komeiji, until the events of Mountain of Faith. Since then, Utsuho went her own way, and became attached to Kanako Yasaka, and thus soon followed her orders. This didn't last long, as after the events of Subterranean Animism, Utsuho Reiuji became a pet of Satori again.
