당신의 투표로 2021 애캐토 정점에 서는 주인공은 과연!?

Aniplus Character Tournament 2021 was the 9th edition of the annual mixed-gender character tournament organized by the South Korean anime distributor Aniplus. It began in 2021 December 03 and ended with the final results released on December 30. A total of 309 characters competed from 103 eligible anime installments. The only former champion eligible for this year was Aketo 2016 winner Rem, who appeared in Re:Zero's season 2.

The tournament was won by Yukina Minato, who appeared in season 3 of BanG Dream!'s chibi show (Garupa Pico). In the final match, she defeated Kanna Kamui, a tournament favorite from Dragon Maid season 2. Kanna's loss in the final match earned her the distinction of being the first character to finish runner-up twice in Aketo history.
