Best Sanrio characters

10 ELO points separate Cinnamoroll from Kuromi at the top of the Sanrio ranking, after 2010 duels.

Cinnamoroll claims the top spot with 1390 ELO points, but the battle for the podium remains tight. Kuromi trails by just 10 points in second place, while My Melody sits at 1377 ELO in third. The sharpest divide appears between My Melody and Pompompurin, where 29 ELO points mark the line between podium and the rest of the pack. Hello Kitty, the franchise's most recognizable face, lands at fifth with 1341 ELO points, suggesting that raw popularity does not always translate to community preference in direct matchups. At the opposite end, Deery-Lou struggles at 910 ELO with a 26% win rate across 140 duels, trailing Dear Daniel and Jewelpet in the bottom three.

This ranking draws from 2010 duels cast by 37 players across 18 Sanrio characters, last updated on 12 October 2026.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
