A recent poll was conducted on the streets of Akihabara to see which pink-haired anime heroine is the best. Pink-haired characters have gotten a bad rep among otaku on the internet where the phrase “Inran Pinku” (lit. Slutty Pink) is thrown around. Apparently, pink-haired characters are seen as promiscuous, so the question was are there any likeable and “pure” pink-haired anime girls? Here are the answers according to 100 fans:
Top 7 Pink-Haired Anime Heroines
| Rank | Character | Title | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Madoka Kaname | Puella Magi Madoka Magica |  |
|
| 2 | Super Sonico | SoniAni -Super Sonico the Animation- |  |
|
| 3 | Hinagiku Katsura | Hayate the Combat Butler |  |
|
| 4 | Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière | The Familiar of Zero |  |
|
| 5 | Tomoka Minato | Ro-Kyu-Bu! |  |
|
| 6 | Me | Humanity Has Declined |  |
|
| 7 | Momo Belia Deviluke | To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness |  |
What’s your favorite pink-haired heroine? Do you think they’re usually the “sexy” characters or do otaku have it wrong?
