How many of you personally know someone who\u2019s fallen under the spell of Sanrio? We\u2019re guessing, quite a lot. The sheer number of characters the company has come up with during its 54-year history is truly amazing, not to mention the immense appeal and popularity some of these characters enjoy across the world. Even if you\u2019re not a passionate fan, if you have even a remote fondness for anything kawaii, then you\u2019re bound to have a favorite Sanrio character, which is why Sanrio has a popularity poll for its characters each year, called the Sanrio Character Ranking.&#8221;<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This \u00a0year there is a twist, the 100 charter are arranged into 5 groups.

A different result \u00a0\u00a0emerges. \u00a0I think the new story is skewed because the voting is in groups.\u00a0 It\u2019s similar to results where a team may have regional or conference dominance.\u00a0 In this case Pompompurin\u2019s numbers reflects lower popularity strength of other characters in his bracket.\u00a0 In Group E Kitty is competing with two of the newest characters KIRIMIchan, \u00a0Gudetama ; Both high numbers may reflect a\u00a0 novelty bump. \u00a0Other groups voting seem same across the line for poplar charters.<\/p>\n<p>I would l love to see how the number measure up Japan vs. international<\/p>\n<p>Personally I find KIRIMIchan, \u00a0Gudetama number interesting, I find Sanrio\u2019s\u00a0 anthropomorphic food characters a bit creepy.<\/p>\n<p>Voting end Sunday<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sanriocharacterranking.com\/?lang=en\">Ranking poll site <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It depends on\u00a0 How\u00a0 you cook the number http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/o4w2y8b &#8220;Okay, we have a question for you.
