Marisa Kirisame
Marisa Kirisame is a playable character featured in ZUN's Touhou Project video game series. A human magician and complete kleptomaniac, Marisa has been one of the most popular characters in the series after first appearing in the second installment Story of Eastern Wonderland.
Tournament history[edit]
Just like fellow Touhou protagonist Reimu Hakurei, Marisa didn't show up for the inaugural Queen of /v/ 2019, instead making her debut in Queen of /v/ 2020. Unlike Reimu, who proceeded to win the tournament, Marisa jobbed in the first round to Bloodborne boss, Lady Maria.
Queen of /v/ 2021 was a different story, as she managed to score a very high seed and made it to Elite Eight. Her win in quarter-finals against Curly Brace was controversial, most notably because people were scared of another Touhou winner, especially one just a year after Reimu's win, so Marisa ended up losing to eventual winner, Recette Lemongrass, and placed 3rd overall.
Despite sitting out for Queen of /v/ 2022, Marisa played a role in Scout's campaign for King of /v/ 2022, as the two were depicted in a romantic relationship. This relationship was short-lived however, as she left Scout and started dating John Ward. This ended up leading to the infamous Schizo Scout arc in King of /v/ 2023, which you can read more about on Scout's page.
Queen of /v/ 2023 was notable for Marisa because despite being a semi-finalist just two years prior, she failed to qualify, shocking many anons.
Even more shockingly, Marisa failed to qualify AGAIN in 2024, with Cirno being the only Touhou character to even get enough votes to make the top bracket.
