Touhou Boob Discussion
Touhou Boob Discussion (東方乳議論, Tōhō Nyuugiron) organizes the general consensus of every Touhou Project character's breast size from the Japanese fanbase. As a reminder, this page is a translation, so there's possibly a few Japanese jokes here and there.
Key
The main chart uses a scale to illustrate which chest size(s) are typically drawn for a character and anything in bold indicates a trend, but people are allowed to disagree and draw whatever size they prefer. While the original chart uses five kanji scale,1) it's converted into an A to E scale here for convenience and to, perhaps, give the illusion that this chart is talking about cup sizes instead.2)
- A - The breasts are non-existent or are quite small.
- B - The breasts are small and wouldn't bounce while running.
- C - The breasts are at a beautiful, average size.
- D - The breasts are somewhat big, but not quite huge.
- E - The breasts are incredibly huge.
List of Characters
I finally managed to fully re-translate this entire chart! I originally translated this in May 2017 with a slight update in late 2019, but I finally redid this in June 2021 with plenty of useful footnotes!
| Character Name | Chest Size | Notes and References | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Protagonists | ||||||
| Reimu Hakurei | A | B | C | There's a lot of room for interpretation as she gets drawn with many different characters. From collision detection to canonization of the “poor shrine maiden” jokes, she falls between flat and average. She may get a boost as the protagonist or put in onee-san scenarios, but nothing too extreme. With last bosses or other busty characters, femininity is prioritized. As the armpit miko, some sideboob is fine. | ||
| Marisa Kirisame | A | B | C | D | Like Reimu, Marisa can be interpreted in many different ways. She tends to be smaller when she's aware of her shorter stature, and larger when she isn't. Most people make her flat to average, boyish or not, but large can be stylish. |
|
| Touhou Koumakyou ~ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil | ||||||
| Rumia | A | That's it. But with Ex Rumia, (ry3) While she is a hungry character, her breasts aren't as nourished as Yuyuko's… | ||||
| Daiyousei | A | B | C | D | She's kinda child or child-like. However, since Cirno and related characters can be slow, she can assume a parent-like, voice of reason role that tends to make her bigger. It depends on whether the artists wants to indulge in the “Mune ga Dai-chan” thing. | |
| Cirno | A | She's a child or child-like after all. |
||||
| Hong Meiling | D | E | In the past, she was flat. However, ever since Touhou Suimusou depicted her with an average-sized chest, she became even bustier than Sakuya. Meiling 「Now, I'm #1 in Koumakan!」─━╋ Gusa!!4) (Pichūn!!5) |
|||
| Koakuma | A | B | C | D | E | Due to a lack of material and how Patchouli hides her body type, it's really up to artist interpretation. Some propose a system where “Koa” (こぁ) is for busty, long-haired Koakuma and “Kokoa” (ここぁ) is for petite, short-haired Koakuma. |
| Patchouli Knowledge | A | B | C | D | E | To start off, she wears baggy clothes and is “weak and inactive” so, depending on interpretation, she could have any body type. Her old nickname of “Murasaki Moyashi”6) emphasized weakness, fans of a skinny and busty Patchouli emphasized inactivity, then she somehow gained weight over ten years which is miraculous. Currently, she's thicker than Alice and Marisa, so she gets large breasts. You could also interpret her as being extremely buff and it'd be valid… |
| Sakuya Izayoi | A | B | C | D | E | The big difference in breast size between Touhou Koumakan and Touhou Suimusou made her the “Pad Chief” (PAD長), while “Busty Chief” (巨乳長) emerged to counter this. That aside, she's placed between two extremes, Meiling and Remilia, and people are split on “cool and slender” or “beautiful with a nice body”, so average isn't even on the table. With the entire Koumakan lineup, she would rank as the third lowest, meaning that she'd be somewhat small. |
| Remilia Scarlet | A | B | Despite being 500+ years old and having charisma, she looks like a little girl. However, her appearance changes drastically depending on the presence or absence of charisma, so she may turn normal at maximum charisma. Then again, she doesn't eat much, so… | |||
| Flandre Scarlet | A | B | If the older sister is a little girl, then the younger sister is a little girl too. Moreover, unlike her older sister, her breasts aren't big because her mind's underdeveloped and some fans depict her as insane. | |||
| Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom | ||||||
| Letty Whiterock | B | C | D | E | Wide collision detection |
|
| Chen | A | B | The result of her child-like appearance. It also contrasts with her guardians, Ran and Yukari. But with Baquartet, she's a bit grown-up. | |||
| Alice Margatroid | A | B | C | D | E | Her breasts are well-shaped rather than large, mostly because her well-proportioned body is prioritized over her breasts. Therefore, she's mostly drawn with average-sized breasts, but they can also be big or small depending on “the standard body” is interpreted. |
| Lily White | A | B | C | D | |
|
| Lunasa Prismriver | B | C | D | The eldest sister…? (Size can't exceed Merlin.) It may be affected by her depression, but she maintains some size. | ||
| Merlin Prismriver | C | D | E | The largest of the three Prismriver sisters, mainly due to a bug in Touhou Youyoumu that makes her go rogue.8) | ||
| Lyrica Prismriver | A | B | C | The youngest sister doesn't need them! The creator says they don't have breasts, so this entire table is (ry9) | ||
| Youmu Konpaku | A | B | C | She's very inexperienced and youthful in terms of appearance and personality, so she tends to be smaller than Yuyuko, and her swordsmanship is no help either. However, she'll have a chest unlike lolita characters such as Suika, Cirno, etc. | ||
| Yuyuko Saigyouji | D | E | It looks like she has breasts in the Touhou Youyoumu endings. Her personality and status as a final boss also helps. |
|||
| Ran Yakumo | D | E | She's quite huge due to her being a guardian and a youkai kitsune. |
|||
| Yukari Yakumo | A | B | C | D | E | She was officially deemed a shoujo, but she's a wise old sage who doesn't look the part, so most people tend to draw her with huge breasts. Maybe she has a spell card titled “Chest Sign 「Boundary of Flat and Huge」” or “Form Sign 「Boundary of Youth and Maturity」”… |
| Touhou Suimusou ~ Immaterial and Missing Power | ||||||
| Suika Ibuki | A | Pettan, pettan, tsurupettan♪ Pettan, pettan, mochipettan♪ Pettan, pettan, mune pettan♪ Youjo, youjo, tsurupeta youjo♪ Suika, suika, tsurupeta Suika♪ (Tsurupeta-tte iu naa~!!) Anybody who justifies drawing large breasts through her “ability to manipulate density and sparsity” is a true pervert. (Praise) |
||||
| Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night | ||||||
| Wriggle Nightbug | A | B | The short hair and pumpkin pants make her seem boyish. Such a cute girl couldn't possibly be a10) (Pichūn!!11) |
|||
| Mystia Lorelei | A | B | C | She was considered the adult of the Baquartet back then, but it was furthered by her being a grilled lamprey stand proprietress.12) A pigeon chest,13) even though she's a tree sparrow. |
||
| Keine Kamishirasawa | C | D | E | As a teacher, Keine-sensei is held back. You could also argue that she still has common sense in this state. | ||
| Keine Kamishirasawa (EX) | D | E | As a hakutaku, the volume of her chest goes up! | |||
| Tewi Inaba | A | B | Despite her age, her looks… | |||
| Reisen Udongein Inaba | B | C | D | She's a bit on the small side, but she's larger than Tewi. But unlike Sakuya, she's more likely to have a standard body type. | ||
| Eirin Yagokoro | D | E | That chest shadow means… ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡° Oppai! Oppai! If she made some breast enlargement medicine, the power balance would be disrupted. Wouldn't big breasts be a hindrance when she draws her bow? I don't give a damn~! | |||
| Kaguya Houraisan | A | B | C | D | Wouldn't she be smaller than Eirin? The Hourai NEET “Teruyo” is small, while the calmer “Hime-sama” tends to be large. | |
| Fujiwara no Mokou | A | B | C | It's said that she “stopped growing at a young age” for carrying the burden of immortality. Like Marisa, people considered her boyish. In Touhou Shinpiroku, she officially had a boyish personality which made her small… However, if she does have breasts, you could call her an “ikemen with boobs.”14) | ||
| Touhou Kaeidzuka ~ Phantasmagoria of Flower View | ||||||
| Aya Shameimaru | A | B | C | D | As the fastest, it seems like an aerodynamic body would naturally have small breasts, yet most people tend to draw her with large breasts anyways. People who draw her flying at ultrafast speeds in the air tend to draw her without breasts. | |
| Medicine Melancholy | A | The first issue that you have before even thinking about boobs is that she's a doll… | ||||
| Yuuka Kazami | D | E | Being a sadist, the strongest, and an onee-san has made her quite busty, at least in the old works… Is D-89 an accepted opinion?15) | |||
| Komachi Onozuka | E | Her looks in Touhou Kaeidzuka… is a genuine case of ZUN being limited to drawing lolita characters, isn't it? Her bust level and the prevailing idea among fans that she's taller than her boss has really nullified discissions about them… | ||||
| Eiki Shiki, Yamaxanadu | A | B | C | As she only compared to Komachi, people think she's short and flat… but some people ignore this and make her big anyways since she's a Yama or Enma after all. She seemed short in the Touhou Kaeidzuka ending scenes, but it would later be confirmed that she's rather short in Touhou Shinkirou.16) | ||
| Touhou Fuujinroku ~ Mountain of Faith | ||||||
| Shizuha Aki | A | B | C | As the harvest goddess' younger sister, she gets drawn smaller. | ||
| Minoriko Aki | A | B | C | D | E | As the goddess of abundant harvests… you could make it so her size changes according to harvest luck or quality, plus there's the “Drooping Minoriko” (たわわに穣子, Tawawa ni Minoriko) tag. |
| Hina Kagiyama | B | C | D | E | She stockpiles misfortune in her chest, so she must be small when she gets rid of all of it. |
|
| Nitori Kawashiro | A | B | C | D | In the books, she literally has a child-like body type, yet people draw her on the larger side. Depending on the artist, big breasts would become more prominent with the key strapped to her chest,17) and a lot of people drawing her with a black tank top also draw her huge. | |
| Momiji Inubashiri | A | B | C | D | She doesn't have any official artwork, so it's another ambiguous situation. Momiji momimomi. |
|
| Sanae Kochiya | C | D | E | “Sanae > Reimu” is the usual outcome, plus she has a high school girl vibe… Her looks in Touhou Seirensen and Touhou Hisoutensoku has also contributed to this, plus “Sanapai” (さなぱい) is a highly used tag on Pixiv. | ||
| Kanako Yasaka | D | E | The value of faith is represented by the volume of her chest. In addition, she's tall and an old hag (Pichūn!!19) | |||
| Suwako Moriya | A | B | C | Looks aside, she's a married goddess. Is it all the comparison to Kanako… or is it still the looks… | ||
| Touhou Hisouten ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody | ||||||
| Iku Nagae | B | C | D | E | Pattsun pattsun,20) Kya Iku-san!!21) (However, if she's a dancer, would a large chest get in the way?) Anyways, they're impossible to confirm because the hagoromo gets in the way.22) | |
| Tenshi Hinanawi | A | B | Epicenters, cliffs, cutting boards, washboards, and Tenshi's chest don't shake. ZUN doesn't normally draw breasts, so there's room for imagination when interpreting physique and you can end up with a flat-chested adult or a busty lolita. Unfortunately, alphes drew Tenshi completely flat, so there's no way to save her… However, drawing flat-chested adults can be difficult, so she may have a small chest. | |||
| Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism | ||||||
| Kisume | A | B | C | It's not a girl in a box,23) but a girl in a bucket… Her chest is hidden in the bucket, so you can't see them in the first place. In full, she's usually drawn with a humble size for looking like a twin-tailed lolita… but there are cases where a busty lolita is a nice surprise. | ||
| Yamame Kurodani | A | B | C | D | While she looks lolita, she gets drawn voluptuous like a spider. It also helps that the “underground idol” jokes24) promoted the idea of her having well-shaped breasts. | |
| Parsee Mizuhashi | A | B | C | Jealous and envious… |
||
| Yuugi Hoshiguma | D | E | Onee-san, strength, and contrast with Suika. Alphes also helped by making her breasts half exposed in a promotional flyer. Sometimes, she gets depicted as the man of some stories, but she'd have large breasts in a different way. | |||
| Satori Komeiji | A | B | C | Shougololi. She can be considered an adolescent, as she's easily stressed out… |
||
| Rin Kaenbyou | B | C | D | Despite being a pet, she's better than her master and smaller than Okuu. Since she's sandwiched between these two, she tends to be drawn at an average size. | ||
| Utsuho Reiuji | B | C | D | E | When Touhou Chireiden came out, her stupidity and that red gem on her chest hindered her. But after Touhou Hisoutensoku, her overwhelming power and physique made large breasts more fitting, so it's been the mainstream perception ever since. | |
| Koishi Komeiji | A | B | If the older sister is a Shougololi, would she be a Shouichinoro? She's often drawn with the same size as her sister, but this can change as she's a bit unstable. The unconscious elements also help in making her flat or large, depending on the artist's choice. Thus, her breasts could grow without her knowing, to her sister's shock… | |||
| Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object | ||||||
| Nazrin | A | B | It's because her physique is small. |
|||
| Kogasa Tatara | B | C | D | First off, a lot of people consider her to be lolita. She seems quite moderate, but when paired with Nue, she can become the busty lolita type. Conversely, when paired with Sanae, she gets smaller for non-lolita reasons due to their perceived relationship dynamic. | ||
| Ichirin Kumoi | C | D | E | Since her body isn't as exposed, it feels like “she might be bigger with her clothes off.” The day she takes off her priest garb. |
||
| Unzan | The sole man of the Windows era games, a middle-aged man. We can't assess his body because he has none. | |||||
| Minamitsu Murasa | C | D | “Murasa is horny, so her breasts are huge!”25) or so we originally thought… It does look like her chest bulges in the original artwork, but… her boyish attire limits the size. | |||
| Shou Toramaru | A | B | C | D | Her physique and position originally made her closer to Ran-sama's largeness, but the unfortunate nickname of “Shou-kun” made her boyish or shota instead, which made her closer to Wriggle's flatness. | |
| Byakuren Hijiri | D | E | She carries a motherly |
|||
| Nue Houjuu | B | C | Clearly, her size is unidentified. There are various opinions based on her clothes and original appearance, but it's not a wide range. She gets flattened by her guardians, Byakuren and Mamizou, as well as the other members of the EX trio, Flandre and Koishi. When paired with Kogasa, she'll remain small if Kogasa has large breasts. | |||
| Double Spoiler | ||||||
| Hatate Himekaidou | B | C | D | When the subject is compared to Aya, results vary and aren't very stable. If Aya is flat, then Hatate is considered large for being less active than her. If Aya is large, then Hatate is considered flat as she is below her. Almost as if there's an equilibrium. | ||
| Touhou Shinreibyou ~ Ten Desires | ||||||
| Kyouko Kasodani | A | B | Her lolita appearance was a big factor. It also matches her Choujuu Gigaku bandmate's small chest. | |||
| Yoshika Miyako | C | D | Just being dumb and near lolita territory isn't enough, so she's drawn relatively large. It's believed that the main reason for this is that she's a hungry character, thus on the larger side. | |||
| Seiga Kaku | B | C | D | E | She was based on a married woman, so she was rarely depicted as small, but the influence of Touhou Ibarakasen made smaller sizes more acceptable. |
|
| Soga no Tojiko | C | D | Most people end up discussing her lack of legs, rather than her breasts. She's based on Prince Shōtoku's wife, whose other consorts were short, so bigger would be beneficial. A mother. | |||
| Mononobe no Futo | B | C | It seems like people don't draw her with large breasts as she's a bit dumb. She was also revealed to be really short in Touhou Shinkirou, accelerating the idea that she's flat. | |||
| Toyosatomimi no Miko | A | B | C | She's often drawn small as she originally looked flat. Furthermore, Miko was based on Prince Shōtoku, who was male, her coolness is emphasized in Touhou Shinkirou, and she's usually paired with Byakuren or Tojiko which may call for her taking a male role. She's also super tall, so breasts would hinder her vision. | ||
| Mamizou Futatsuiwa | C | D | E | It's easy to draw her large since she has an oba-chan personality, plus there was the influence of Mami Tomoe back then. However, she wasn't that huge in Touhou Shinkirou or Touhou Suzunaan, so her size adjusted accordingly. | ||
| Touhou Shinkirou ~ Hopeless Masquerade | ||||||
| Hata no Kokoro | A | B | C | D | This character is unique because she has an established position, so she's immune to personality modifiers. She's larger than Koishi and other lolita characters, yet smaller than Hijiri for being child-like. She also wasn't that huge in the original game. | |
| Touhou Kishinjou ~ Double Dealing Character | ||||||
| Wakasagihime | C | D | E | She's a bit docile, so people tend to draw her really big. Her kimono also has a breast bulge, making her a huge princess. Also, her lower body is fish, so her upper body is doing their best to make her voluptuous figure stand out. | ||
| Sekibanki | A | B | C | Her design is a rather boyish, from the cloak hiding her neck to her red-black color scheme, so she tends to be average to small. In addition, her high sense of pride may be another contributing factor. | ||
| Kagerou Imaizumi | C | D | There's a wide range, but she tends to be on the larger side. It's probably because ZUN drew her with a visible collarbone, exposed shoulders, and clothes that'd have to be held up by her breasts. | |||
| Yatsuhashi Tsukumo | B | C | D | Compared to her older sister, the Bust Gap Society…26) doesn't apply here as she's drawn at a relatively moderate size. | ||
| Benben Tsukumo | C | D | E | As the mature, older sister, she'll often be portrayed with larger breasts than her. |
||
| Seija Kijin | A | B | C | She's pretty weak and small. |
||
| Shinmyoumaru Sukuna | A | Her size would be smaller than Seija, plus she's an inchling. You could joke that she can make her breasts bigger using the miracle mallet, but nobody really indulges in it. | ||||
| Raiko Horikawa | B | C | D | E | ZUN drew her with a chest bulge, so many people drew her as a busty onee-san, but her boyish clothes allowed the handsome person with small breasts interpretation to gain ground. As a result, we get a character on the two extremes. | |
| Touhou Shinpiroku ~ Urban Legend in Limbo | ||||||
| Sumireko Usami | B | C | Most people hold back due to her shared lineage with Renko. | |||
| Touhou Kanjuden ~ Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom | ||||||
| Seiran | B | C | Small. In addition to her considerably low infantry rank, she's also drawn relatively small compared to the other rabbit. | |||
| Ringo | C | D | Her burly figure and constant dango eating makes it sound like she'd be chubby, though her bellybutton sticking out holds it back, so large breasts were probably inevitable. | |||
| Doremy Sweet | B | C | D | Her fluffy clothes obscures her body's figure, but we know it's full of dreams, probably because she has a calming personality. | ||
| Sagume Kishin | B | C | D | A cool beauty.28) Her figure ranges from slim and slender to sturdy and well-developed, but does not exceed Eirin or Toyohime. | ||
| Clownpiece | A | B | C | D | Until now, fairies had nothing, but due to her outstanding strength and the American outfit, she tends to be drawn bigger than most fairies. In addition, she comes off as an older, middle school type. | |
| Junko | C | D | E | A sixth stage boss with a tremendous power. She's a marvelous, purifying onee-sama who had been a married mother, though now widowed, so there's many illustrations of her with a refined chest. However, her clothes start to interfere if you make her too big, thus people stop at large and rarely exceed enormous or hyper. | ||
| Hecatia Lapislazuli | B | C | D | Some depict her as completely flat, while others depict her as extremely busty. This is due to the fact that her character should be busty, yet her t-shirt and exposed shoulders makes large breasts feel unnatural, so many people think she's smaller than Junko. As a result, her t-shirt is just capable of handling any size. | ||
| Touhou Hyouibana ~ Antinomy of Common Flowers | ||||||
| Shion Yorigami | A | B | She's the poverty god, so she's usually drawn slim and small. At the same time, she's an onee-san who doesn't have any lolita attributes, so there might be a bulge above her ribs. | |||
| Joon Yorigami | A | B | Her small stature and being a younger (twin) sister to Shion makes it easy for her to be drawn small. | |||
| Touhou Tenkuushou ~ Hidden Star in Four Seasons | ||||||
| Eternity Larva | B | C | She can't be too big or too small because of her unique chestpiece makes it hard to do so, but changing her outfit is free. | |||
| Nemuno Sakata | D | E | A rare instance of ZUN drawing a chest bulge. Her outfit looks best with large breasts, so she's mostly drawn as such. | |||
| Aunn Komano | A | B | C | D | Komainu ≈ Shisa, or girl with Okinawan looks. The size depends on whether the artist wants to emphasize liveliness or sexiness. | |
| Narumi Yatadera | B | C | D | E | She has a lolita appearance, yet her attire asks for a plump body type. Similar to Aunn, the size is up to the artist. | |
| Mai Teireida | A | B | A rare, boyish character in Touhou Project who uses “boku” (僕), so she's mostly drawn small. | |||
| Satono Nishida | A | B | C | Her design is almost identical to Mai, making her the same size. But when drawn alone, she tends to be bigger than Mai. | ||
| Okina Matara | A | B | C | D | E | Mattaira vs. Okki na.29) She's an elder sage and guardian, so she gets drawn big. However, it's easier to draw her flat since it fits her clothes better, so there's some variation. |
| Touhou Kikeijuu ~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature | ||||||
| Eika Ebisu | A | She's a stillborn… Her design motif includes jellyfish, yet it doesn't seem to make her any bigger. | ||||
| Urumi Ushizaki | E | H U G E. An extremely rare character that clearly has huge breasts when ZUN drew her. Will this be the cow character's fate? |
||||
| Kutaka Niwatari | B | C | D | She isn't a lolita or onee-san, but a hard worker who's had her share of hardships, so she's just normal-sized for better or worse. | ||
| Yachie Kicchou | A | B | The politely impolite,30) intelligent Yakuza boss. Despite being an onee-san type character, she's incredible flat in the source material, so it's rare to see her flourish. | |||
| Mayumi Joutouguu | B | C | D | E | It's hard to tell with the original artwork since she's wearing armor, but it looks like something's there at the very least. Though with fan illustrations, making her chest a bit large is currently leading. | |
| Keiki Haniyasushin | C | D | E | Her apron doesn't look like it has any bulging. However, she is a last boss goddess, so people rarely draw her small or flat. | ||
| Saki Kurokoma | C | D | E | Since her outfit really exposes her chest in the original artwork, people tend to draw her on the larger side. How would you interpret a muscle-brained character? | ||
| Touhou Kouryuudou ~ Unconnected Marketeers | ||||||
| Mike Goutokuji | B | C | There is clearly a shadow beneath her chest implicating a size, but she's considered below average due to her childish looks. | |||
| Takane Yamashiro | A | B | C | D | While she is a Yamawaro, she's treated as a pallete swap of Nitori. They also share the same physique. | |
| Sannyo Komakusa | B | C | D | E | She's often drawn large due to her mature appearance, but there's a limit since she has a kimono on. | |
| Misumaru Tamatsukuri | B | C | D | About normal, with two extremes followed by two more to make five, though the chains on her chest could be used for emphasis.31) | ||
| Tsukasa Kudamaki | A | B | C | Thin in the original, but often exaggerated to fit enticing situations. | ||
| Megumu Iizunamaru | D | E | ZUN drew her with an hourglass figure,32) and her official position only reinforces her having large breasts. | |||
| Chimata Tenkyuu | B | C | D | Her chest size doesn't really stand out, so it's close to normal. | ||
| Momoyo Himemushi | A | B | C | D | E | A wide range. She can be flat if you consider her tomboyishness, but can also be large if you consider her personality. |
| Touhou Gumon Shiki ~ Perfect Memento in Strict Sense | ||||||
| Heida no Akyuu | A | B | C | It's probably because she's a pure Japanese woman, but Japanese clothes look better on women with small breasts! | ||
| Touhou Kourindou ~ Curiosities of Lotus Asia | ||||||
| Rinnosuke Morichika | B | C | D | One of the few men in this table, a young man in appearance. For reference, he's a glasses-wearing civilian who doesn't fight or a stubborn man with a large build. Ignoring the extremes, he's just tall with a medium build. Of course, when he becomes Kourin, (ry33) | ||
| Tokiko | A | B | C | In Touhou Kourindou, she's described as a “little girl”34) and gets illustrated with a lolita body. Among fan illustrators, she's often drawn as petite, probably because she gets drawn with Kourin who is significantly taller. | ||
| Touhou Sangetsusei | ||||||
| Sunny Milk | A | There's no way to warp this perception. |
||||
| Luna Child | A | Even when shook, there wouldn't be any shaking sounds. |
||||
| Star Sapphire | A | There is just no signs of breasts. |
||||
| Touhou Bougetsushou | ||||||
| Reisen II | A | B | C | D | She looked quite busty at the start of Touhou Bougetsushou, but became more modest in the latter chapters. | |
| Watatsuki no Yorihime | B | C | D | Such obstructions would hinder her sword's swing, but being a princess knight character allows for a range of perceptions unlike a certain other sword user. Most of the elder sisters are drawn modestly, especially compared to Udonge, but there is a theory that she binds her breasts using sarashi. | ||
| Watatsuki no Toyohime | D | E | Unlike a certain celestial, this peach has grown quite well. From the “toyo” (豊) in her name35) to onee-san characteristics, she overall has a glamorous body type (not just breasts). However, she isn't as active, so her body is a bit sloppy, but this too is a benefit. | |||
| Touhou Ibarakasen ~ Wild and Horned Hermit | ||||||
| Kasen Ibaraki | C | D | E | Everyone's lovable pink hermit. She's above Sanae and below Kanako, but rest assured, she has breasts. Also, she's an established onee-san type character, so large breasts are a given. |
||
| Touhou Suzunaan ~ Forbidden Scrollery | ||||||
| Kosuzu Motoori | B | C | Her bookworm personality, contrast with Mamizou, and friendship with Akyuu have all contributed to her current position. | |||
| The Secret Sealing Club / Music CDs | ||||||
| Maribel Hearn | C | D | E | The miracle of a blonde-haired foreigner with a sharp mind. Unlike the Japanese Renko, there's a lot of differences that she can show off. In addition, her design is very reminiscent of Yukari. | ||
| Renko Usami | B | C | She gets drawn more modestly in contrast to Merry, so she gets frustrated at her partner's boobs. |

The five kanji are “mu” (無), “hin” (貧), “fu” (普), “hō” (豊), and “kyo” (巨). In that order, these kanji mean: “none” (flat), “poor” (small), “common” (average-sized), “bountiful” (large), and “enormous” (huge).

The whole mystique around “cup sizes” gets somewhat ruined once you learn about “sister sizing”, which is finding out that a cup size for one band size is a completely different cup on another band size.
