This may sound weird, but when I'm looking up sources of who is the main protagonist of Paripi Koumei, I found many sources saying that the main protagonist is Eiko Tsugimi. I, too, wanna believe that Koumei is the main protagonist because he's the title character, the story starts off with him, he's a reincarnation, and he appears in the spotlight in the opening PV, but like I said earlier, I found many sources saying that Eiko Tsugumi is the main protagonist. What do you guys think? Should we believe that Koumei is the main protagonist because he's the central character, or should we follow many sources saying that Eiko Tsugumi is the main protagonist?

PS: When I was editing Paripi Koumei in the Japanese Wikipedia saying Eiko is the protagonist and Koumei is the deuteragonist, my edits were reverted back to "Koumei is the protagonist," and "Eiko is the deuteragonist." I even added a reference page to it, and my edits were still reverted. Think anyone of you can help me convince the Japanese Wikipedia to approve my edits?

I personally believe that Koumei is the main protagonist cause although he is playing a support role for Eiko they focus on how his strategies is working in the modern era through Eiko.

Eiko is the protagonist. Also title might have the name of a different character playing a big role. Like akame ga kill is named after Akame but the protagonist is Tatsumi.

Since,Eiko is the one struggling here,i guess she is.
ps:Protagonist is one,there is no secondary or primary.

It's Eiko. Eponymous characters aren't necessarily the protagonists of their show.

Why is this even relevant to you. There are lots of Anime that have more than one true MC.

Would say eiko bc the show is about her problem and komei is helping her. But if we all agree when we say komei is still the no. 1 in spotlight. The show is about him helping the protagonist.

Eiko is the protagonist, because it's HER story.
Kyoming is deuteragonist, who is Eiko's leverage and causes her development. Also, best boi.

I honestly feel Kongming is the best character of this series, and both him and Eiko are equally important. There are 2 protagonists in this imo, as Kongming is too important to be a deuteragonist.

No, Tatsumi has a much bigger role than others in that series, whereas Eiko and Kongming are similar in this one

Tatsumi is the protagonist until Episode 12 because he died which considered him the false protagonist.

Episode 12? The show has 24 episodes and Tatsumi died towards the end. And who says the protagonist can't die? By your logic Light,Lelouch and Eren aren't protags. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Just coz Akame had the final fight to herself doesn't make her the protagonist.

Episode 24, huh? I thought it was Episode 12 because most anime shows always have 12 episodes.

I would call Eiko the main protagonist of the show and Kongming the co-protagonist. Because most of the show revolves around Eiko’s music career and her growth as a performer and person.

Just like the main protagonist of Soul Eater is Maka and the main protagonist of Akame ga Kill is Tatsumi.

It's 100% Eiko. There's no doubt about it

They’re both the main protagonists. It centers around them both and in some episodes kongming gets more screen time while on others Eika does.
