Kurisu Makise

Kurisu Makise is a character from Mages Inc. and Nitroplus's 2009 visual novel Steins;Gate. She is a redhead young genius scientist who specializes in quantum mechanics and time machines. Kurisu serves as the main love interest of protagonist Rintarou Okabe, who describes her as a tsundere, a fact that causes her annoyance which ironically just proves this attitude.

The success of both the visual novel and anime adaptation has led Kurisu to be recognized by many fans as one of the "best girls" in all of anime. As a result, she has enjoyed considerable success in this wiki's recognized major saimoe tournaments during the 2010's. Kurisu's best finish in 2channel's original Saimoe tournament was a round 3 elimination in 2011, while in Anizone's Moe tournament she placed runner-up in the final edition (2012) behind Hitagi Senjougahara. The scientist also reached the quarter-finals of the first Bilibili Moe tournament in China (2015), and later returned in its last edition (2018) where she fell in the last 16.

Makise also appears as a regular in the International Saimoe League since 2012, gaining a reputation for having a "late-bloomer" voter base who tends to show up during the last three periods. She has won 2 necklaces to date (both Diamond, last period), an exhibition gem in 2013 (Topaz, also last period), and has made the playoffs 5 straight times but has never progressed past the top 16 round.

However, all of these pale compared to her presence in r/anime subreddit, where Kurisu is long recognized as the Best Girl with four contest wins organized by its users. She was the champion of the very first (official) Best Girl contest, and later reached the final of Best Character 2, the last edition before Best Girl and Best Guy winners were banned from the tournament. Kurisu also won the first "Best of the Best tournament", the "12-Hour Best Girl", and the "2nd Couples / Ships tournament" with Okabe - all secondary tournaments.
