Who Do You Believe Is The Best Character In The 41st Sanrio Character Ranking
This much-anticipated yearly voting event invites fans from around the world to cheer on their favorites by casting their votes for any of the 90 featured characters. This year's tagline reinforces that every character is treasured – regardless of ranking – and creates a moment for fans to come together, celebrate them all, and share in the joy and smiles they inspire. Last year's contest crowned Pompompurin as the ultimate Sanrio fan favorite, followed by Cinnamoroll and Pochacco. Fans are eagerly waiting to see who will come out on top this year.

In-store voters will receive a free "I Voted" sticker, while supplies last. Fans voting in person at the Hello Kitty and Friends Cafe at Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles will be able to purchase limited-time menu treats, including a Mixed Berry Black Tea Lemonade and Mixed Berry Sponge Cake, inspired by the annual event. For the second year, fans can also vote in person at all Hot Topic stores nationwide, where they will receive a free "I Voted" sticker, while supplies last, as well as purchase exclusive merchandise celebrating Character Ranking.
