Momiji is super cute so i think it's unfair to begrudge her her popularity.

Two characters which never even got official art have more than twice the amount of fan-art as one that did. Poor Tojiko

Tojiko is at least part of the 2nd best crew in Gensokyo. So she can be content with that, most mid-bosses aren't even part of a crew.

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I'm pretty sure every midboss is part of a crew. Fairy crew, SDM crew, Eientei crew, Tengu crew, Taoist crew.

Oh right I forgot that Tewi is also a dialogue-less midboss, and is also incredibly popular.

Tojiko has dialogue when you fight Miko.
The reason why tojiko has less fanart or whatever is because she is newer, all the old characters are popular even bad ones like Remilia and Sakuya.

Yup. Older characters get more and more art every year, which makes them more and more popular with the fanbase. Newer characters have never managed to catch up, and never will.

Tewi is a playable character in PoFV and a major character in Inaba Of The Earth And Inaba Of The Moon.

Daiyousei and Koakuma only got grandfathered in because they were in the first Windows Touhou game. Jerks don't even got names, and I still think it's silly fans decided the midboss fairy has to be a shy dweeb with no confidence instead of a dumb prankster all fairies are by nature, simply because the cookie-cutter shy, no confidence personality hasn't been represented in 2hu

Tewi is a playable character and you should respect her. :colbert:

There is no such thing as a fairy crew (unless you mean the Three Fairies, which are indeed a crew), Koa has never been shown interacting with the SDM crew and until she is I will assume she was just a passerby, and the Tengu crew barely exists.

hello
Tewi also co-stared in a 4-koma comic series with Reisen so it isn't like her popularity is that unexpected.

Daiyousei was in one chapter of the three fairy manga where she didn't say anything and just looked pissed off that Cirno stopped playing hide and seek with her to go do something dumb with the three fairies.

I don't necessarily trust the Japanese wiki's popularity poll, but it's still the best source we have for that kind of thing, and neither of the nameless EOSD midbosses even made the top 50 this year. They're even below a bunch of newer B-listers like Keine and Iku and Nazrin.

It's true that Tojiko is still less popular than either of them, though. RIP. She even lost to Yumemi. That's just pathetic.

It's messed up that Yumemi is more popular than Mima and Shinki.

Meiling has been shown interacting with the SDM crew and has lines and a personality and a backstory and a fight against a Giant Catfish. So I don't see how they're all that comparable.

I don't know who that is, seems like a strange demon familiar, or maybe a large maid fairy. It's good to see that the SDM is still one of the top employers in gensokyou though.

She worked a stand one time.

I want Marisa to have her own comic so all the cool and interesting comics don't just actually literally revolve around Reimu.

rip Nitori so much as referencing any (friendly) relationship with Marisa in her many appearances

She has friendly conversations with Marisa in the vs quotes in the fighting games and hangs out with her in her endings in both HM and ULiL.

Oh, then Koa got in while Meiling was fighting Reimu/Marisa. Or she managed to get in while Meiling was dreaming of fighting the Evil Taisui Xingjun.
