It's getting boring and lonely sitting on top of my snowy throne.  I demand more underlings to play with and torment.  So I will grant royalty and bequeath the title of Idiot Princess to those who are worthy.  I will give out 5 IP slots for the following challenge.

They say there's only 6 degrees of separation on any topic on Wikipedia, so I want to show your creative sides to prove this axiom.  Go on Wikipedia, and try to link to most outlandish thing you can to Touhou.  Show your exact link chain.  If I can't reproduce it from your instructions then it doesn't count.  You must START from your target and work your way to Touhou through links, but only links within the articles themselves.  Categories only count if it's listed on the article page.

It can be as long and convoluted as necessary but bonus points for shorter link chains.  The crazier and more unrelated the better as well.  Deadline is when I feel there's 5 worthy entries.

Bummer #1: I managed to get to Shinto in popular culture and it didn't have a link to touhou.  :derp:

Ahahahahaha, I am awesome!

Started with a page I had viewed some time in the last few weeks due to the chemical it was about being an important component in one of the experiments in one of the last few weeks' experiments:

Dimethylglyoxime

Which linked me to the element it is most commonly used to indicate/quantify:

Nickel

Which, of course, has radioactive isotopes, so it had a link to:

Radioactive Decay

Which, as relevant related information, links to:

The Chernobyl Disaster

Which links to:

The Chernobyl Disaster in Popular Culture

Which, because of everyone's favorite nuclear hell raven, links to:

Touhou Project

Chenobyl is a nuclear disaster, amongst other several sub-reasons.
Her foot as a direct reference to Chernobyl's Elephant Foot(a big-ass elephant foot-shape corium deposit), for one.

Because her concrete-encased foot is a reference to the concrete mantel that was built around the Chernobyl nuclear plant.
Or at least that is what someone wrote in both Wikipedia and the Touhou Wiki.

Now, for my second quest, I hit the link for "Random Article". What came up?

Petit train de banlieue

Which, as the name might suggest, is a:

Train

Talking about various types of trains, this article links to:

Japan

Which, in the subsection of Japanese Culture links to:

Japanese Folklore

Which right in the first paragraph links to:

Oni (folklore)

Which, in the subsection about popular culture, links to:

Six degrees of separation between Adolf Hitler and Touhou.

Adolf Hitler

Thule Society

Occult

Hinduism

Hindu deities

Kubera

Vaiśravana, at the bottom of which, is Touhou.

Let's give this a try.
Cicadas
Tanna(under genus)
Higurashi
Doujin soft(under see also)
Touhou Project(under doujinsoft companies)
Too many links.

Cicadas
Higurashi When They Cry
Immaterial and Missing Power
Touhou Project

The last link in case you meant for it to link to the actual page of Touhou Project. If not, the link to IaMP should suffice.

Random article:

Jeanmar G?mez
Baseball
Japan
Japanese Folklore
Oni (Japanese Folklore)
Touhou Project

Mh, if your article links you to a well-sized article about something international, you are likely to find a link to Japan, from where you get to Touhou easily enough. Though maybe you get from Japan to Touhou faster than that...
Japan
The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter
Touhou Project
Yes. Yes you can.
