by September 6 is “Sister’s Day.”
Since it falls on the middle day of Virgo (August 23 to September 22), which symbolizes the cuteness of younger sisters, this anniversary was established by Kunio Hatada, a leading researcher of the sibling pattern. Hatada is also known as the founder of Brother’s Day on March 6, Sister’s Day on September 6, and Sister’s Day on December 6.
Little sister characters are indispensable for anime and games. There are various ways of drawing, such as admiring older brothers and sisters, conversely, being in the middle of a rebellious period, and not being a real sister. So who is the most famous sister character?
Anime there! Animation! We conducted an annual reader survey titled “What is your favorite ‘younger sister’ character?” We received responses from 1,639 people during the survey period from August 23 to August 30.
The male-female ratio is about 40% male, about 55% female, and about 5% of non-response are female. The age group was mainly young, with about 65% under the age of 19 and about 15% in their 20s.
A younger sister character with an older brother dominates the top three!
- goes to Nezuko Kamado from “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.” With an approval rating of about 16%, she has moved up from last year’s 3rd place.
“Since he was a human, he’s a kind child who cares about his family. Even after becoming a demon, he protects and worries about his older brother Tanjiro, and I can feel the remnants of when I was a human.” As symbolized by the fact that it was re-released under the title “Blade: Brother and Sister’s Bond,” Tanjiro’s strength to fight even at the cost of his own life when he is in danger touches my heart.”
In addition, the fallen princess ranked in 20th place at the same rate. He is the villain of “Yukaku-hen,” and many comments overlapped with Nezuko and Tanjiro’s brother and sister.
- goes to Kagura from “Gintama.” Her approval rating is around 7%, the same as last year.
“The scene where he fights against his older brother Kamui to restore the relationship between the broken family is impressive. Only Kagura-chan can stop the strongest father and brother in the universe!” Readers who touched on the relationship of trust with Gin-san and others were also conspicuous, saying, “Kabukicho’s younger sister. At Odd Jobs, Gintoki and Shinpachi are like older brothers.”
- “After all, my youth romantic comedy is wrong. ] Komachi Hikigaya. With an approval rating of about 5%, he moved from last year’s 6th place to the top 3.
Komachi, the younger sister of the main character, Hikigaya Hachiman, says, “The opposite of the negative Hachiman, she has a dry personality. Her unique choice of words, such as ‘Komachi has a high point,’ and her bruises and cuteness are addictive.” He recognizes Hachiman as useless, and it’s adorable that he occasionally dissed him. The dialogue is like comic dialogue.” Even though I’m worried about it, I also long for a relationship that can spit poison.
For Kirino Kousaka from “Ore no Imouto Can’t Be This Cute,” “The title says ‘younger sister,’ and, strangely, my sister is an otaku. So there was a real sense of brotherhood between us.”
For Raiha Uesugi from “The Quintessential Quintuplets,” “Even though she’s in 6th grade, she’s the best little sister who does all the household chores such as cleaning and cooking perfectly. “The voice that calls you is also cute.”
For Mei from “My Neighbor Totoro,” “I always imitate Satsuki-Onee-chan, and sometimes we fight, but we are good friends. When the fruit of Totoro’s souvenir tree sprouts, we rejoice together and say, ‘It’s a dream.’ “It wasn’t a dream,” and how she energetically jumps up is adorable.”
For Re: Zero -Starting Life in Another World- Rem says, “I have a strong sense of affection for my twin sister, Ram, who I call my sister! I’m in tears at the last episode of trying to support Ram.”, Twins, various types of sister characters gathered.
In the 2022 edition, younger sisters with older brothers stand out at the top. In the top 20, there are sisters from titles that aired this year, such as “Kakko no Kakukousome” Sachi Umino, and I’m sure there will be new younger sister characters ranked next year as well.
