Kana currently has over 14,000 favorites on MAL, which is extremely impressive considering she got that in a couple of months. She blew up in popularity very quickly. Kana is clearly the best character in Oshi No Ko, but 14,000 favorites is a bit much. Thoughts on her character?

I don’t get why some people are so irritated by her. I think she is charming and has a lot of good comedic moments.

I like her a lot. She’s a great vibe and has a good character design.

She isn’t anything special for me. But I do like her a lot

Best girl! Overcame the negative aspects of being a child-star while never losing sight of her true goal. Extremely hardworking character that I believe embodies the growth mindset!

She's probably my favorite character among the cast.

Ehhh. I don’t understand the people who really really like her but aye whatever you like I guess.

She’s kinda annoying but I do like her as a character and I think she deserves more love but at the same time shes kinda overrated. Idk but she’s like a 6/10

I like how her character is fleshed out through out the manga. She’s my favorite due to her personality, character, and depth to her story. She’s pretty complex and arguably the least messed up compared to the characters. That’s as much as I can say here without spoiling anything for “anime only’s”. :)

I really like her character. She's kind of a breath of fresh air in this series with her charming and attractive personality while also not bragging about her strengths and gives helpful advice to the Main cast occasionally especially to Ruby. She really is a gem.

Kana possesses the characteristics of a classic tsunde She can also be rude and sharp-tongued. Dosen't that sound like a tsundere to you?

A better character than Akane for sure!!!

Easily the best character on the 4 main leads between Aqua, Ruby, Akane & her!!!

She also has the best personality that is suitable for her profession compared to the other 3!!!

She's undoubtedly one of my 4 favorite girls other than Ruby, Ai, and Akane for sure. I'm sure her fanbase number will increase even more after season 2 starts airing.

she's my favorite in the anime, she's completely out of the loop and it's really interesting to see, because even akane knows something that she doesn't. it makes it endearing to her character and humanizes her more in my opinion.

she has a very cute design (honestly all the characters in oshi no ko do) and is well written, she possesses her own distinct set of goals, motivations, and emotions, and is a very solid character
