Kaguya Shinomiya is the main female protagonist and the title character of Aka Akasaka's hugely popular manga series Kaguya-sama: Love is War, and its anime adaptation by the studio A-1 Pictures.

Debuting in Winter 2019, Kaguya quickly became hyped as the hottest "prospects" to come from that year, after she posted dominant wins in both the Winter seasonal contests and the overall "Best Girl of the Year" award in both ISML and r/anime.

The turn of the new decade saw Kaguya establish herself as one of the pre-eminent superstars set to win a major contest in the following years. She immediately fulfilled expectations and soared to even greater success by securing r/anime's Best Girl title in its seventh edition. This victory cemented Shinomiya's place in the contest's history as the first-ever rookie, manga character, and top-seeded girl to become champion.
