Touhou height chart for alll windows era characters
« on: October 16, 2017, 03:49:52 AM »
it's been somthing that's bothered me for quite some time. i know ZUN had a small height chart around touhou 7 but i really want to know the height of every character just so i can get some perspective.

so to start with http://i.imgur.com/CqLE5Ut.jpg

https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/ZUN/ZUN%27s_E-mails
found some useful resources

Sukuna  87 cm or 1 inch tall
marisa is 130 cm
futo is also 130 cm
koishis 132 cm since the satori's are basicly twins im assuming Satori is also around 132 cm
nitroi 134 cm
miko is 142 cm
ichrin 143 cm
reimu 149 cm
Mokou 149cm
Mamazou is 151 cm
usami reinko is 153 cm
Kasen is 154 cm
hata no kokoro is 155 cm
byakuren is 157 cm
rinnosuke 195 cm confirmation needed
Doremy Sweet  243cm (Confirmation needed!)
Reisen is 135 cm (confrimation needed)

now for some guessing
ZUN stated that

Tall: Sakuya, Meiling, Yukari
however it is shown that yukari and sakuya are shorter then rinnosuke

although it might just be yukari using border manip in curiosities of lotus asia

Fairly Tall: Reimu, Yuyuko, Alice, Letty, Ran

so Yuyuko alice letty and ran might be around 149 cm confirmation needed

Fairly Short: Marisa, Youmu, Patchouli, Lunasa, Merlin

Youmu, Patchouli, Lunasa, Merlin  130 cm  confirmation needed

Short: Remilia, Lyrica, Chen, Cirno, Rumia, Flandre.

now i plan on going through the  offical print work and doing a size comparison to see if i can get some more character sizes down probably getdoremy sweet size down from her sprite  for touhou 15.5 soon. as well as reisen

for some reason doremy is showing up as 243cm when i do the measurements which is 7 feet which is very big  i might have to wait for the game to come out that or she really is super big....i i'll double check that later.


 Doremy edit 2
ok i did some fixing marisa was around 208[x in that image that was slightly enlarged so i subtracted 130 and got 78 and applied that to the 243px so doremy is around 165 cm now although this might change if she ends up being shorter then byakuren when the game comes out. but for now im leaving it at 165 cm

 Reisen edit 1 using this image http://i.imgur.com/UjQyJZf.png and the one closet to the large portait and combining it with this height chart http://i.imgur.com/CqLE5Ut.jpg  it appears that shes 135 cm

They're measuring pixels, not cm. If Byakuren were 157cm (5'1") even she'd be pretty short (just under average female height in Japan); not even getting to Marisa, who is canonically short but is definitely not 130cm (4'3"). If your goal is to get some perspective on how tall characters are maybe you should actually be looking at how tall these measurements actually are lol

true but currently its the closest measurement and im basing Marisa height off the second link.

it would be real nice if zun just gave us a height chart

I don't think your going to get too far here. I mean the way characters are drawn tend to be very inconsistent across the games and manga. Just compare the way Yukari is drawn in the Rinnosuke stories (Too lazy to remember their actual name, sorry.), where shes pretty much a child, to the way shes drawn in FS, where she has those evil creepy eyes. Even the fighting games aren't always going to mash up with the manga. IIRC Byakuren and Miko are drawn as the same height in one manga chapter.

I think the best we are going to get is the ZUN thing. Which sucks.

I always wondered why eiki is  the size of a child in fanon but normal sized in the real game
