ZUN in his interview with 4gamer.net
ZUN (太ç°é ä¹, romanized Jun'ya Ota) is the sole known member of Team Shanghai Alice, and is the designer, programmer, script writer, and composer of the extremely popular Touhou Project series. He is seen to be rather reclusive, and thus very little is known about him. He is currently employed by the Taito Corporation, and has been involved in the production of various Taito titles.
