Rika. Hands down.
The blend of her demure, cute "child" persona and her "dark side" was something else, and absolutely the most awesome thing in the entire show. I would also throw an honorable mention in there for Kasai simply for having an awesome character design and voice actor. He reminds me a hell of a lot of the Washimine Group yakuza Ginji from Black Lagoon. |

I loved so many of the characters but if I should be critic the ones that made the most impact on me as persons are Mion and Keiichi.
Mion shows herself being a strong leader and a kind friend, both she and Keiichi really show their charisma in this season, which I enjoyed very much. Hearing them talk was the most inspiring moments. Others who got votes are Satoko and Shion, Rika and Akaska; all of them for the warm family relation that they had between them. Especially during the last arc when Rika was overjoyed to see Akasaka coming to help them, and also when Satoko announced that Shion was her "ne ne" Also Takano gets a vote beacuse she is a well thought through character, with thinking motives behind her actions, she doesn't just go out for "the sake of being evil I will kill you all." which you have seen in many shounen animes. There was actually very much understanding and reasoning behind what she did, and why she did it. Selfish, yes. But that is one of the most human traits in people. |

I voted for Rika. I don't think I need to explain why.
Then, despite the fact that she's the villain in Kai, I voted for Takano because I pretty much felt sorry for her at the end of the series. I know she would have been a very nice person if only her parents hadn't died (Perhaps she would have looked like a grown up Lambdadelta ). And my last vote goes to Gin-sama (Other), because her making fun of Takano was just epic win.

Higurashi has such a wonderful cast of characters who were all very well developed. It's hard to not vote for all, but I narrowed it down to three.
Rika: After what she's been through, she's definitely a favorite of mine. Keiichi: I liked Keiichi since season 1, but I absolutely adored watching his charismatic and gar speeches in Minagoroshi-hen. Guy totally owned. Rena: And sure, she didn't do much in Kai, but she's still my favorite Higurashi character. |

The rest of the cast is great as well, but it would sort of defeat the purpose if I included everyone, unfortunately.

Shion, Mion, Rena, and Akasaka.
Kai mostly featured Rika and not much of anyone else, so these are pretty much my first season favorites, plus Akasaka who was insanely GAR in Matsuribayashi-hen. Shion's been my favorite since her hilarious debut scene and my vote didn't show ;_; edit: nevermind, I see it now

Keiichi - Keiichi is the hero of Higurashi. He made a lot of mistakes near the start, but he is also the first to learn from them, and then helps the others when they make the same mistakes. When Rena becomes paranoid of her friends just like he did, he is the one that convinces her to believe in them. When Shion decides tha killing Satoko's uncle is the only solution just like he did, he is the one that manages to convince her that they need to find a non-violent solution. And ultimately, he and Rika are able to save Satoko frm her uncle, which allows Rika and Hanyuu to learn the truth about Takano. It's only a shame he doesn't feature so heavily in the last arc, something I hope changes in the third season.
Mion - Mion is without a doubt the most loyal to her friends out of all the characters. She is after all, the only one that never loses her faith in them even once, something even Rika has done. Constantly throughout the years, she has made herself into a kind of caretaker of everyone else, constantly looking after them as the leader of the club, and her loyalty is put to the test in the last episode where she is willing to take a bullet for everyone else. Rika - Rika has had a hard time. She's been forced to watch her friends succumb to Hinamizawa Syndrome over and over again and die over and over again, and she has no idea why any of this is happening. She has become disillusioned with everything, and wants nothing more than for this cycle of death to stop and finally grow older with her friends. Rika's struggle is the central part of the story, and it is heart-breaking to watch. However, Keiichi is able to show her just how important faith in her friends is, and eventually, she is able to conquer fate by believing in everyone else just like they believe in her. Akasaka - I've been a fan of Akasaka since he first appeared in season one, even if it was only for two episodes. Just like Keiichi, he is one without ties to the village, which also means he is in a perfect position to help Hinamizawa with its problems. It was only unfortunate that Rika's message never got through to him until the very last arc. Akasaka's dedication to protecting Rika (and the totally badass way he did it) makes him one of my favourites easily. Last edited by Rayneing; 2009-03-25 at 20:29. |

Thank god this isn't a single vote thread, but still will be pretty tough to not vote for everyone .
But really after having so many episodes and getting really involved with this cast picking the favourites is a pretty interesting trip. But think I can narrow it down to three characters and still be satisfied with it all. Rika - Don't think I could make a vote on this series without giving one to Rika-chan. She really stepped into things in this series as the protagonist role shifted onto her. Finding out that through everything she had been battling hard against the tragic deaths of herself and her friends was touching. Really developed, dealing with grief and overwhelming despair of never being able to break through. But thanks to her friends and especially Keiichi finally was able to stand up and fight to the victory. Keiichi - You really have to give him major points in this season. Started in the first as a guy who lost faith in his friends and succumbed to the syndrome in a tragic story. But stands strong this time as a catalyst for breaking the tragic fate that surrounded the characters. Showing Rika that it is possible to change things and you can't accept what is going to happen as being absolute. Showing his ability to change people in the rescue Satoko mission, bringing together the village for that cause. Rena - For the final pick will have to give respects to Rena. Still was able to show her intelligence and ability to pick up things that is so useful to the group. She has her great moe moments that you just have to love that can disguise that at times. Plus she can swing a mean cleaver and still not kill someone. Her 'magic' in episode 2 was just worthy of mention in itself. Really grew to like her character even more than I did in the first season. Just behind Rika and Keiichi in my mind. Some honourable mentions to Akasaka who came to the rescue this time and kicked everyone in his way. Also Hanyuu for just being incredibly moe. She did a great job of growing from a person who didn't think she could do anything into one who really came to the rescue at the end.

Mion - My favorite Higurashi character, and possibly character in any anime, through and through. To me she's the cutest (with Hanyuu and Satoko in tough competition) and funnest out of the cast, with her shy side, her ojisan side, her cosplay crazy side, her leader side - all mixed into one just plain awesome package. You can't find other characters like her. And I think Rayneing said it best, she's the go-to girl if you want a loyal friend - just look at how Rena and Shion both went to her (over, say, Keiichi or an adult) when they were worried about losing it.
Akasaka - Because he kicks butt, takes names, and well... he's just generally really awesome. (and totally a descendant of a Saiyan) Hanyuu - Most moe moe blob ever. <3 Also voted for Keiichi, Satoko, and Ooishi for various reasons. I already loved her, but Satoko in the first two arcs was just... yeah. Kei-chan for all the reasons everybody already loves him - master of words, man among men, and all that jazz. And.. how can you NOT vote for Mister Delicious? He's been one of my faves since waaaay back. I would have voted for Takano, if only because she was an outstanding villain, except... she kind of became rather... pathetic come the last three episodes and any respect I had for her was flushed down the toilet. The other characters were all great, but yeah, gotta only pick a few or there'd be no point to the poll, yeah? Last edited by Keiichi no Hibi; 2008-01-03 at 16:03. |

Keiichi - Loved him in Season 1, loved him even more in Season 2. I looved his GAR and COOL-ness during Tsumihoroboshi-hen and Minagoroshi-hen. xD "K!!!!" Sure he made mistakes during the first season, but he learned from them as the worlds went by. I looved how he cheered up Rika by saying that you have to make your own fate or something like that. Love him so much! GO KEIICHIIII! :3 I was sad that the last arc didn't have that much Keiichi, but oh welllz.
Rika - When I first watched season 1, I was rooting for Keiichi all the way, but along the way I also climbed aboard the "LOVE RIKA-CHAN". I blame you Higurashi Kai. Though anyways, man dying so many freakin' times and only once has she given up hope until Keiichi saved the day. She's gone through so much. Hanyuu - Even though I only knew her for one season, she's climbed into my heart. xD I just love her "auaus" and her dark side that was unexpected. xD Like RIka she's gone through a lot too in witnessing the events and feeling sorry that she couldn't help until the last arc. Au~
