Hey, It's ZUN!

ZUN

Earlier this year the shmup god ZUN, creator of the incredibly popular Touhou series of doujin shoot ‘em ups, was interviewed (YouTube, 8:30 in) on NHK’s The Net Star, a Japanese television show about internet culture. (NHK is Japan’s big public broadcasting network.) So if you ever wanted to see the face of the man behind “Team” Shanghai Alice, here you go. Nice hat!

And for those who are unfamiliar with the doujin shoot ‘em up scene, check out our Introduction to Doujin Shmups article, written by Shoot the Core’s Postman in ‘07.

    Wooo, is there a subtitled version, it look like a overall good documentary about touhou.

    It’s surprising how little Japanese I’ve learned over the years. Actually, it’s not surprising :)

    Cool stuff though.
