Sanrio released the interim results for the 2024 Character Ranking, which show Cinnamoroll taking the top spot. The voting opened back in April 2024, with initial results putting Pochacco in first overall.
The overall rankings for the interim results show Cinnamoroll is taking first at the moment, followed by Pochacco in second and Pompompurin in third. Hello Kitty takes fourth place and Kuromi fifth, leaving the top five places very similar to the initial results with just a few places swapped. In the regional rankings, Cinnamoroll took the top spot in 10 of the 14 recorded countries, rarely being left out of the top three. Meanwhile, Hong Kong favored Kerokerokeroppi, South Korea ranked Pochacco first, the UK elected Pompompurin as top dog, and Minnanotabo was the most popular in Thailand.
