by It is a memorial day established by the Kinosaki Onsen Tourism Association in Kinosaki Town, Hyogo Prefecture, in connection with the “Kinosaki Furusato Festival.” July 7 is also Yukata Day, established by the Japan Yukata Association.
A yukata that brings out the summer mood is a costume that enhances the character’s charm. When you see a yukata with a different atmosphere than usual, your heart will be thrilled. If you could go to a festival with your favorite character, who would you want to go with?
Anime there! Animation! An annual reader survey asked, “Which character would you like to go to a festival within a yukata?” We received responses from 355 people during the survey period from July 19 to July 26.
The male-to-female ratio is about 25% male and about 75% female. The age group was mainly young, with about 60% under the age of 19 and about 30% in their 20s.
In this article, we will announce the results of the male character edition.
Characters who love kimonos are ranked high!
- goes to Gintoki Sakata from “Gintama”. With an approval rating of about 9%, he has moved up from 2nd place last year.
“Yukata looks just like the kimono and hakama that I always wear! The image of him blowing a return whistle,” and “Because it’s about Gin-san, it looks like it’s going to be chaotic when he opens a stall.”
In addition, Shinsuke Takasugi appeared in 13th place with the same rate. “She loves festivals and wears flashy kimonos, so just walking side by side with her seems to give off a great aura.” Due to the genre of SF historical drama, there are many characters in the kimono, and multiple characters were ranked.
- goes to Takashi Natsume from “Natsume’s Book of Friends.” His approval rating was around 5%, up from 4th place last year.
“You can feel the Japanese atmosphere from work ‘Natsume’s Book of Friends’ itself, and the yukata suits Kishi-Kun, who has a gentle atmosphere. I want people to enjoy the festival and smile.” I received an opinion that there is an image of.
There are also noticeable fans who want to enjoy the festival with Nyanko-sensei, saying, “I want to enjoy the festival in the nature-rich area where Natsume-Kun lives with Nyanko-sensei.”
- goes to Shinichi Kudo from “Detective Conan.” The approval rating is about 4%, and although the ranking has dropped from last year’s top, the top 3 is still maintained.
“I want to go to a festival in yukata with Shinichi and Ran! If something happens, Shinichi will solve it with his innate wisdom.” A voice said.
Shuichi Akai also ranked in the same 7th place. “The yukata in the copyrighted illustration was handsome, and it seems that he will take everything I want at the shooting range,” he seems to be why he wants to go to the festival together with his skill as a first-class sniper.
Introducing other comments!!
For Tengen Uzui from “Kimetsu no Yaiba,” “I want to make a lot of noise because I have a flashy personality and call myself the god of festivals. I’d like to see fireworks together, or rather, set off fireworks myself.”
For Nina Gojo from “That dress-up doll falls in love,” “I always wear Japanese clothes in private, such as samue and jinbei, so I thought yukata would suit me.”
For Mikey from “Tokyo Revengers,” “Jinbei was cool, and if I got into trouble at the festival, Mikey would help me out.”
Zoro from “One Piece” said, “Because I’m a swordsman, the kimono in the Wano country arc suits me very well. There was also a vote for the title character, who was ahead of the roadshow.
In the male character edition, the results are that the characters who have shown off their kimono even in the play stand out. Therefore, although there are few fantasy works, Rimuru from “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” ranked in 11th place. Because he is a slime, he has no gender, but he was a male before he was reincarnated, so he received votes.
