Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., formerly known as ZUN Soft, is a Japanese dōjin game developer. Since 1995, the sole member of the group, Jun'ya "ZUN" Ōta, has independently developed and self-published the Touhou Project, a bullet hell shoot 'em up series, as well as collaborated with other circles to produce related print works and music albums.

Name

"ZUN Soft" was originally created as a generic developer name for each Touhou Project game. After Touhou's PC-98 era, ZUN changed the name of the team to "Shanghai Alice". According to ZUN, this name was chosen to fit the overall theme of the Touhou Project. "Shanghai", to him, is a multicultural city where Western and Oriental styles meet, and "Alice" evokes a feminine or gothic lolita feeling.[1] "Fantasy Ensemble" (幻樂団 Gengakudan) stems from ZUN's unsuccessful attempt to register the group as a music circle for Comiket 61 in December 2001; he decided to keep the name while applying as a game circle for Comiket 62, where he would release Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.[1]

Team Shanghai Alice consists of a single member, ZUN, who serves as the programmer, writer, artist, and composer for the group's productions. His real name is Script error: No such module "Nihongo".; he picked the pseudonym due to its similarity to his given name.[54] He was born on March 18, 1977, in Hakuba, Nagano,[54] and is well known among fans for his fondness of beer and his penchant for wearing flat caps. He has sometimes playfully referred to himself as the "Hakurei Kannushi" (博麗神主, Template:Lit. "head priest of the Hakurei Shrine").[55] In 2012, ZUN revealed that he had recently married a programmer, with whom he has 2 children.[56]

His interest in creating music began in elementary school, when his parents gifted him an Electone as a birthday present.[57] In junior high school, he played the trumpet in a brass band and began composing his own music.[57] In 1995, he began developing a series of bullet hell video games under the name "ZUN Soft" while studying mathematics at Tokyo Denki University.[54] The games, which would become the first five entries in the Touhou Project series, were developed for NEC PC-9800 personal computers and published by Amusement Makers, a student video game development club:[58]

After graduating in 1999, ZUN was hired by as a video game programmer by Taito. He is credited in the production of several titles:Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

During this period, he contributed soundtracks to several games developed by his junior classmates in Amusement Makers, notably the Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., a series of bullet hell games for Microsoft Windows by Shunsatsu sare do? (瞬殺サレ道？).[59] The series was intended as a counterpart to the Touhou Project, featuring highly similar gameplay as well as cameo appearances by Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and Yuuka Kazami:

  • Script error: No such module "Nihongo". - part of the Seihou Project
  • Script error: No such module "Nihongo". - a bullet hell game by Pietoro (ぴえとろ) based on the manga Template:Ill[60]
  • Script error: No such module "Nihongo". - part of the Seihou Project
  • Script error: No such module "Nihongo". - a collection of six MIDI tracks for the Roland SC-88 Pro, including unused music from Shuusou Gyoku[61]

In 2007, he left his job at Taito to focus on the development of the Touhou Project.[62] Later that year, ZUN provided programming for Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., a beer-themed bullet hell game published by Script error: No such module "Nihongo"..[63] The game uses the same engine as Mountain of Faith and shares many similar gameplay features, including a "Beer Gauge" that increases shot power based on damage dealt.

In addition to the Touhou Project games, ZUN has provided writing for several official Touhou Project print works, produced in collaboration with various illustrators and publishers:

  • Script error: No such module "Nihongo".
  • Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., which consists of:
