Kino (Kino's Journey)

Kino is the titular protagonist of the light novel Kino's Journey (subtitled the beautiful world), which was adapted into two anime TV series in 2003 and 2017.

Kino gained notoriety in 4chan's SaiGAR tournament --- an event meant to decide the most manly and badass character on /a/ --- after she defeated November 11 from Darker than Black and Hellsing's Alucard in the second round of the 2008 edition. Many anons became salty because of the fact that a female won a round in a contest full of manly men. This result and the ensuing reaction was one of many events that led the host to prematurely cancel the tournament.
