February 2013. I was introduced to Sanae and fell in love.
Didn't start seriously playing the games until early 2014, though. I'm so glad I started doing so. Wracking up achievements is fun!

Summer 2011 I believe, was listening to an internet radio on my PSP and I heard some IOSYS, I decided to investigate it after coming back home from the vacation I was on, discovered its relationship to Touhou, and ummm.... kind of accidentally left it on my back log until summer 2013.

My first contact with Touhou was 2 years ago, I heard a acapella of Owen was her, but what me into Touhou was... uh..: Yukkuris. Yep. Freaking Yukkuris. Before Touhou I was into Vocaloid ( I still am) and there was a lot of crossovers between Touhou and Vocaloid ( Bad Apple Cover and the tons of MMDs, also Kasane Territory ) and I've seen an UTAU that looks like a flying head (Yukkuri), I checked her out and have seen that it is from Touhou. I searched Touhou on youtube and have seen some PVs of it and then I quickly played the games and the rest is history :3

First contact was bad apple a long time ago, but I don't remember when specifically. 2 years ago I was listening to the impossible midis again (I had seen them a few times before) and I looked up the original of necrofantasia. It had a picture of yukari, and said in the description that it was from touhou, so I did some research then downloaded EoSD. From there I played IN, then SA, then downloaded everything up to DDC and played that. Since then, I've been gradually absorbing the music, characters, lore, and playing more of the games. At some point I ended up on the touhoujerk sub reddit for a time, and since I stopped going there I'm a newly renewed touhou fan

A friend of mine was talking about it in a chatroom I was in, I was curious and asked for a link. He sent me a link with the windows games up to SA, this was back in 2008, by the way.

I'm probably remembering incorrectly, but like five or six years ago, i started seeing stuff related to Touhou on tvtropes, i got interested in it, so i decided to play one of the games, EoSD to be exact. I got my ass handed to me but i liked it enough to keep playing. I didn't really embrace the series until a few years later though, when i had others to talk to about it. Also because of certain pieces of fanart, i guess.

Uh well. Claxy sent me the Marisa Stole the Precious Thing video. And I watched it. And I thought it was interesting.
Then I discovered Touhou Soccer Moushudden due to Youtube recomending me a video about, and that's where it all started.

I first found out about touhou in 2008-2009 through the Super Mario World community. There was a lot of Touhou discussion on SMWCentral and a lot of ported touhou songs in rom hacks, which is how I originally heard about it. I liked the music a lot, but didn't understand the appeal of the games. I only got into it much later, in November 2013, because my PC was getting old and I was trying to find games that it would allow me to play.

I found out through an ONLINE KIDS SITE when I was like 9 or 10 (this was 2012).
It was through the 'Bad Apple' song I believe.
But I didn't start play the games until about a year ago.

In August/September of 2013 I found Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion on YouTube, through the mysterious ways of the Internet, and fell in love with it, and decided to look up information about this 'Touhou Project' (I had actually already listened to Because Princess Inada Is Scolding Me a few times before that, but without realizing where it was from). I became sort of a fan, mostly for the music, but as time progressed, more and more also for the characters and the fanart. Didn't play the games, because I thought they weren't really my type of games (even Glac's attempts to make me start playing proved futile).
But then in January/February of this year my girlfriend-at-the-time finally managed to convince me to start playing EoSD. I loved it. I started playing it regularly, but I had other priorities, so it slowly faded into the background until I stopped playing altogether. Then in late April, while I was staying with my girlfriend-at-the-time, we played IN together a few times, and I played HRtP too a few times. But things happened (namely, I couldn't get my PC-98 emulator to work on my computer), which made me give up on getting back into playing Touhou. Then one day in July I suddenly felt like playing HRtP. I somehow managed to get my PC-98 emulator to start working, and I've been playing Touhou regularly again ever since!
TL;DR: Found Nuclear Fusion in August/September 2013, fell in love with the music, slowly became more and more of a fan, finally started playing Touhou in the beginning of this year.

Around 2011... I had indirect influence from things like Ran Ran Roo and the occassional 2hu song being played in random videos.
Then my friend (I went over his house) that was into Touhou got me into when he showed me EoSD and Soku.
I went home, looked up touhou wiki, learned stuff. Played more games, found Soku Lobby, etc... fast forward some years, now I'm a Touhou Lore Warrior.

In the middle of 2012, I was at Forum from a bored game. It had a Topic just for people chat. A friend of mine was there speaking about Touhou. So yhea, he was speaking about Mokou and Tenshi, and introduced those characters to me as well, but at that time I really didn't care too much about Touhou. Later in 2013, I heard "U.N Owen was her?" in some music game, I really liked that theme, so then I found other Touhou themes through Youtube. I got addicted to Touhou music, but actually I just started playing the actual games in the beginning of 2014. (The first one was Imperishable Night)

I think it was somewhere around late 2012. I was playing a Role-playing game on ROBLOX (I still play it to this day, i'm just always inactive.) and found these interesting and familiar Touhou characters in the game. Then in Mid 2013, I started to listen to some catchy Touhou arranges. December 2014, I started playing Touhou. My first 2 games were GFW and EOSD.

I was like "I'm bored" and someone was like "check out Touhou" and I was like "not that silly thing!" but I checked out the wiki and decided to play it since I liked danmaku games. For the first time in my life, I buckled myself in, put on my safety goggles, and went full shmup. Next thing you know, five missions were done with flying colors! Then they told me I was actually shooting down my comrades all along and I was part of a program to create the ultimate magical loli soldiers, a program called DonTouhou. But by that point I was too far gone. For seven more years I relentlessly slew my fellow lolis, remorselessly hardening into an unstoppable killing loli with a thirst for blood. Until the day my final mission came. And when the five missions were over, would you believe it, they had a doomsday loli! I gave it everything I had! But I did good, real good, until it was time to go home.

Nice post. I got my introduction because i had a friend who wouldn't stop being obnoxious with danmaku videos. Then one day i decided to take some initiative for the first and only time in my life, except for mouse related matters, and acquired the games through most likely legal means and found them to be pretty entertaining. Then i turned into a huge secondary who only played losely and kept doing that for a few years. Never did I grind, but i did enjoy playing practice mode so that I could post those literally perfect boss runs on Youtube. Oh and spellcard timeouts. So yeah, that's how i got into it and its kinda silly that i never progressed beyond that. Once a secondary, always a secondary

My older brother wanted someone to play ULiL with, so he got me to get the game and ever since, my life has been worse it was actually quite fun, and the characters were cool, so I ended up playing LoLK and then PCB and I am now a Touhou addict
