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 established herself as one of the "Super Rookies" of this generation, becoming THE most popular and successful girl of that year by winning both the Winter seasonal contests and the overall "Best Girl of the Year" award in both ISML and r/anime.
She is one of the most promising girls set to win any major contest in the next few years, what with her anime's Season 2 being aired juuuust at the right moment (Spring 2020), a period beforeBest Girl Contest andISML begin their nominations in June. And if she falls this year, there's still about 2 more seasons worth of manga content to adapt from. Let's just say that if Season 3 were to be adapted, the events will make her popularity skyrocket even further beyond the stratosphere.
