"This is Very Kawa... Kebukai" Voice Actress Sumire Uesaka's 'Touhou' Reimu Cosplay Gets Fans Extremely Excited: "Worshippers Will Definitely Come Flooding In!"

Voice actress Sumire Uesaka updated her X account. A photo posted with the comment "Reimu is cute, Reimu (Sumipe)" has become a hot topic among fans.

In the published image, Uesaka showcases her cosplay of Hakurei Reimu, the protagonist of 'Touhou Project'. She wears the trademark large red ribbon on her head and the distinctive red-and-white miko outfit, holding two red ofuda talismans in her hands. Her smiling pose facing the camera captures both the character's adorableness and dignified spirit in a single shot.

'Touhou Project' is a collection of works centered around bullet hell shooting games, created by the independent circle "Team Shanghai Alice" operated by ZUN. Set in the fictional world of "Gensokyo," the story follows the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, Hakurei Reimu, the magician Kirisame Marisa, and other unique characters as they face various incidents. Beyond doujin works, commercial media adaptations and fan-created derivative works are also actively produced.

In response to this post, fans left reactions such as "This is very kawa... kebukai" and "No less kawa... ke-bukai than Reimu herself," using the familiar wordplay of "kebukai (hairy)" as a unique form of praise among fans (a play on "kawaii" meaning cute), along with enthusiastic responses like "Your voice was also beautiful" and "Worshippers will definitely come flooding in!"
