| @NS2D Unfortunately both of them aren't in anime adaptations so I don't think they will go far! [Oberon is at least more known surely!] |

| @Sensual_Yuri_69 Oh, Doraemon movies are mainly non-canon, and as far as I remember from the show, he's a cat robot. That's why he isn't eligible here. |

| I nominate: Male- Ashaf Female- Yuuko Kanoe |
| Ooh, I love the specific holiday seasonal flavor and far-ranging nature of this one, being able to pick mythic and folkloric-based supernatural characters from across the entirety of the anime-manga universe. I'll jump in right away and curious to see how many characters I recognize here from among this group and how contested this ends up getting. For male entries, I'm going with the titular character from my all-time favorite series, the dog youkai (technically hanyou or half-youkai/half-human) Inuyasha, who despite representing a lot of the heart and soul of anime to me and a cornerstone of my major introduction point, I just so happened to have never nominated before in tournaments where he'd be eligible, so that needs to be rectified. https://myanimelist.net/character/1353/Inuyasha?q=inuyash&cat=character And for female entries, is it any great revelation or cause for astonishment at this point that I will come back to my love Sunako? Not only a family head and effective vampire mob boss, but a junior scholar, a romantic, and so much more. https://myanimelist.net/character/30477/Sunako_Kirishiki?q=sunako%20&cat=character So Inuyasha from Inuyasha and Sunako Kirishiki from Shiki. Also, regarding custom images, not fully custom in the sense of from my own personal trove and doctored or altered, resized, etc. by me, but just from the extra images which some characters have on their own page in the MAL database. They have a number and I'd like to, if it's not too much of a hassle, substitute those respective images for the default ones. For Inuyasha: And for Sunako: |
