touhou
The Touhou Project is a series of vertically-scrolling shoot'em-up indie games, by Japanese one-man studio Team Shanghai Alice. It also includes a variety of spin-off media, from fighting games to books to manga.
Set in a fantasy reality sectioned off from our own where the forgotten have a chance to thrive, it is home to all sorts of stories mixing traditional folklore and modern-day social commentary. The characters are by and large cute girls inspired by real-life myth and history.
A subculture of its own has grown around the series, thanks to its rather lax stance on fan works.
