Hitagi Senjougahara

Hitagi Senjougahara is a a main character featured in the Monogatari series of light novels, authored by Nisio Isin and adapted by Studio Shaft. She is the main love interest of the series protagonist, as well as the series' most successful female representative.

Senjougahara is best known for her appearances in Best Girl Contest, where she gained notoriety for losing in the semi-finals in the contest's first three editions. She eventually had to settle for a Best Character victory instead, which she did in 2016.

In other major contests, Hitagi was the last champion of Anizone's Korea Best Moe Tournament. The crab-possesed girl also appeared in all four instances of China's Bilibili Moe contests, but the farthest she can go was in the Round of 24 stage in 2016.

Hitagi was a mainstay in the early years of the International Saimoe League, reaching the round of 16 in 2010 and 2011, and finishing 15th in both years. Although she won a divine circlet in 2018, she hasn't made a return to the regular season ever since.

Hitagi shares a rivalry with Steins;Gate heroine Kurisu Makise, having played against each other in three important matches. Two of them were in the finals of KBM and Best Character, in which the crab won both matches. The other one was a semi-final match in Best Girl 1, which ended in favor of the scientist.
