OK JUDGING.
A lot of these were great, alas there are only 5 slots for me to give out.  So only the best of the best will be chosen.

IP Slot 1:
Goes to Vic Viper!

For linking Kevin Bacon and Hitler and Touhou in some sort of unholy trifecta.

Kevin Bacon to Touhou via Hitler
Kevin Bacon to
National Lampoon's Animal House to
ROTC to
Military History of the United States during WWII to
Adolf Hitler to
German-Japanese Relations to
Japanese Garden to
Heian Period to
Fujiwara Clan to
Touhou

Sorry Ammy and PC, he ate both of your submissions for breakfast.

IP Slot 2:
Goes to rdj!

Why?  Because his entry went through one of my favorite animes (Outlaw Star) and one of my favorite Sailor Scouts (Mars)

This took way more than six steps, but...you can connect the tardigrade, of all things, to Touhou.

Tardigrade
Fresh water
Swamp
Will-o'-the-wisp
Corpse road
Ley line
Outlaw Star
TV Tokyo
List of anime distributed by TV Tokyo
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Kunihiko Ikuhara
Sailor Mars
Miko
List of fictional clergy and religious figures
Touhou Project

IP Slot 3:
Goes to Rou!

For choosing the least Japanese/Asian path out of every contest entry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol
Prisencolinensinainciusol is not, in fact, a highly experimental drug, but instead a song whose lyrics are pure gibberish.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibberish [1 degree]
Gibberish is [apparently] something entirely different from nonsense...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonsense [2 degrees]
...Which was a favoured weapon of Lewis Carroll.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Carroll [3 degrees]
Carroll, of course, wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Wonderland [4 degrees]
Which has inspired characters in a variety of works...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_based_on_Alice_in_Wonderland [5 degrees]
One of which is Alice Margatroid from Touhou.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou_Project [6 degrees]

IP Slot 4:
Goes to Drake!

For the subtle joke with his mathematical entry, and for somehow linking Touhou to My Little Pony AND Cobra Commander, the best of the 80s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_path_problem
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_Commander
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Eyes_%28G.I._Joe%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba_gua
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou_Project

* Drake plays victory music

IP Slot 5 (and the last slot):
Goes to Iryan

For the longest entry, and for linking Touhou to Communism and pirates and weed (hur).

Okay, I will try not to go for maximum shortage now, then.

Let's start with, say, Arsenic-based life
Leukemia
Tobacco
Bhutan (never heard of this country before)
Jigme Singye Wangchuck (awesome name right there)
Tourism
Wikipedia
Quadriga (award)
German Reunification
Communism
Karl Marx
Sigmund Freud
Id, Ego and Super Ego
Characters of Xenogears
Reincarnation
Carl Sagan
Cannabis (drug)
Correlation does not imply causation
Pirates
Peter Pan
Kingdom Hearts
Collectible Card Game
Internet
Flash Mob
Chicago
Osaka
Honshu
Nagano Prefecture
Lake Suwa
Touhou Project

Yatagarasu mentions Touhou but does not link to it.
Self-Publishing does not link to Doujinshi, which would have linked to Touhou.
Tokyo does not link to Comiket which would have linked to Doujinshi which would have linked to Touhou.

All of these are very disappointing.

Honorable mentions:

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.
Kevin Bacon
Actor
Japan
The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter
Touhou Project
 :derp:
Vic killed these two birds with one entry.

This sounds like a good idea. Let's do that!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou We can't finish here Purvis, just pretend this is Step 0.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_yang  Reimu's favorite arcanoid ball!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_reproduction Well.. we all knew that wasn't far from Touhou.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungi Masha <3
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucination
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_world_%28plot_device%29 <.< Something's concealed from this page..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina Hax Sign: Burn Everything.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief Uh oh, we're getting close to breaking th-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Wall Oh Too late.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteenth-century_theatre
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_culture Touhou is VERY far from Western Culture..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_culture Yet the west and east are so close :3
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orient_Express This station isn't abandoned.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie:_Murder_on_the_Orient_Express Oh, from here we ride the train to victory.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie:_And_Then_There_Were_None
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Then_There_Were_None
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou

This trip around conceptualisms took 18 steps, the same amount of currently released Touhou games. No matter how far you go you end up where you started.
The journey could have been more interesting (reusing Agatha Christie and Then There Were None did you in)

Kevin Bacon?  Oh hell no.  Doing Roger instead.

The fast route:

Roger Bacon
had something named after him
Baco (crater)
which is on
The Moon
which has been fictionalized by everyone and everything
Moon in fiction
including of course
Touhou Project

Simple enough, right?  I'm gonna try again without such an obvious hook.

The Jigoku Route:

Roger Bacon
has had tales written about him similar to the tale of
Faust
who of course was sent to
Hell
who's court is presided by the
Yama (Buddhism and Chinese mythology)
who is included in the pantheon of
Japanese Gods
which also includes
Vaiśravaṇa
who is represented in
Touhou Project

It is quite disappointing that there is no direct route from the Yama to Touhou.  Let's go one more time and pick completely random links the first few times.

The route with Hitler in:

Roger Bacon
wrote a bit about a certain substance in his Majus Opus
Gunpowder
which has an ignition process known as
Deflagration
which being a type of combustion, is subject to the effects of
Turbulence
which is a problem that has frustrated pretty much every physicist ever including
Werner Heisenberg
who lived under the reign of
Adolf Hitler
who's iconic symbol was the
Swastika
which is commonly used on statues of
Gautama Buddha
who taught his followers the way to attain
Nirvana.
One of the first steps in Zen towards that is
Satori
There are other uses for the term, though
Satori disambiguation page
One of which is of course from
Touhou Project

The first few could be shortened to Bacon -> Einstein -> Hitler, but that's no fun at all.
Great, but by then the Bacon joke had already been used.  Creativity people!

This is impossible for me. Everything I do seems to end at Konami.

Also, I am trying to avoid all articles that directly correlate to Japan or video games. You should try it too!
Not an entry but still hilarious nonetheless.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra
In the Night Castle (2005–2010) sub-subsection, there is a link to...
O Fortuna
In the lead section, there is a link to...
Luck
In the Japanese mythology subsection, there is a link to...
Vaiśravaṇa
In the In popular culture section, there is a link to...
Touhou Project
Would have gotten a slot had he not DQed himself by starting from Touhou and working backwards (too easy that way).

SURPRISE!  :derp:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_spice
Hello ladies. Look at my list, now back to the rules, now back to my list, now back to the rules!
Sadly, it's over the limit. But, if you push that aside and realise you can start with Old Spice, you can see that it's fine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FHM
Look down, back up. What can you see? A magazine. One that is made for men to stare at.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China
I'm going to stop doing Old Spice now, simply because this will take ages to write out. ><

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Kingdoms

And from there we go to...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_of_the_Three_Kingdoms

Stupid missing two words. Oh well. Hey, what's that down there? Loose connections?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikkitousen

Didn't quite see that one coming... Hey! Is that...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusanagi

Oh please, please, pleaseeee!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusanagi_in_popular_culture

I hate you for having to be separate from the main article. But oh yes, hello Rinnosuke!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou

I CONNECTED OLD SPICE TO TOUHOU! XD (Yes, I know it's more than requested, but I wanted to do it.)
I loved it but alas there can only be 5 :ohdear:

Thats all folks!

I was mildly aggravated that the ATTWN video game didn't link directly to poem references, same for the train. Also that things like Succubus, Sunflowers, Dream Worlds and Eastern (doesn't Touhou mean Eastern?) don't link to Touhou. I propose that someone needs to break into Wikipedia and fix this!

Also it was amazingly fun to just click from place to place and see how easy it is to link anything with anything. Thanks for hosting and congrats, especially to Kevin Hitler Touhou which was my favorite.

Queen's Blade

In the Moeru Eitango Moetan (萌える英単語 もえたん) section, there is a link to...
Touhou Project
Everything about this hurts me.

Edit:
Also, I managed to go from some Hindu film to World War II, and in an effort to avoid the low-hanging fruit, I steered clear of ANYTHING that directly involved Japan. I opted for Germany, which, I swear, somehow led me to Gradius and Konami. I backed up and tried again, which led me to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: The Manhattan Project for the NES, which led me to Konami. Literally, I was stumbling on Konami Kukeiha Club members. All roads lead to Konami.

I loved it but alas there can only be 5 :ohdear:

Thank you TSO; impressing you is a good step no matter how you look at it. For my first attempt at an IP contest, I'm pretty happy with that. I'm determined to make the next contest work; this has really put my motivation up tenfold!
