Megumi Katou is the titular heroine of Fumiaki Maruto's light novel series Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata, and its anime adaptation by the studio A-1 Pictures.
Megumi traditionally enjoys strong support in contests held in China and Japan, and is weak in the Western countries. This is best exemplified with her performance in the Bilibili Moe contests, reaching the last eight in 2015, and would've won the 2017 edition if it weren't for a certain girl who's backed by a massive campaign spoiled her championhip dreams in the semi-finals.
The heroine is also a major force in the East Asian-dominated International Saimoe League contest, winning a seasonal diadem in 2015 and a necklace in 2017. She controversially won the 2017 Tiara because a certain Chinese group in the Baidu Post Bar admitted to vote-stuffing the outcome of the finals match in her favor. And the worst part? No one was punished for it, and the conspirators got away scot-free.
Katou is a minnow in the Western-majority voters of r/anime's Best Girl Contest, simply because Saekano isn't popular enough on r/anime.

ISML Profile Flavor Text[edit | edit source]
If one compares Kato Megumi to a flower in a flower bed, she is the one most likely ignored for the more exuberant and vibrant ones.
Like a wallflower with no special trait or talent, one could say that Megumi is the epitome of normalcy. Normal looks, normal grades, normal body proportions, normal athletic ability, style, taste, hair color, mindset, outlook, curiosity – there is almost nothing about her that stands out from the average crowd. In fact, had she not been the focus of her work, she would have gone completely unnoticed, a background character that does not add any elements in her story. Yet, out of the blue, on one fine day, she suddenly became the heroine of a dating sim to be created by her classmates, which she openly accepts and goes with the flow.
If there is one characteristic about Megumi that makes her stand out, it is her ability to give it her all on a particular subject. Whether it is searching for the latest trends, figuring out the proper pose and speech, or understanding the life of a producer, Megumi takes her time to study these subjects diligently and help her friends out in her own way. And when she surprises everyone with her knowledge of his or her craft, she slowly draws everyone into her spotlight that has yet been noticed.
And so, she continues to embark on the journey to become the ideal heroine of this game. And maybe, that unnoticed flower is actually a rose waiting to bloom at its opportune moment.
