Yukino Yukinoshita

Yukino Yukinoshita is the main heroine of the light novel My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong, As I Expected (also known by its shorthand title Oregairu). A student of Sobu High School and the sole member of its Service Club, Yukino is described as an "ice queen" beauty with the smarts and talent to match, but also carries a prideful personality and a tendency to speak bluntly toward others. She meets Hachiman Hikigaya, a cynical self-imposed loner who becomes the Service Club's second member under Hiratsuka-sensei's orders; through their interactions and club activities, her personality slowly changes to a more caring, genuine side. Yukino is also revealed to have a fondness for cats and the panda mascot Pan-san.

Having made her anime debut in 2013 to lukewarm reception, Yukino cemented her place as a highly successful girl in saimoe tournaments after Oregairu's season 2 aired in 2015, which featured a new art style (shown in the image above) and further developments to her character and budding romance with Hachiman. This resulted in her winning r/anime's second Best Girl contest, and finishing as a runner-up in ISML 2015 several months later. Yukino eventually won ISML's tiara in 2020 over returning champion and rival Mikoto Misaka, making her the third girl to accomplish the rare feat of winning both contests (after Mikoto and Rem). She is also a member of the so-called ten-win club of successful anime characters.
