Anime Anime conducted a reader survey for Rainbow Day (July 16), asking which anime character best evokes rainbows. The poll ran from June 24 to July 1 and drew 102 responses, nearly evenly split between male and female readers, with a majority aged 19 or under. Doma, the Upper Rank Two demon from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, took first place for the second year running, praised for his rainbow-colored eyes and the unsettling gap between his gentle demeanor and cruel nature. Nijino Yume, the protagonist of Aikatsu Stars!, climbed to second place, helped by her name's rainbow character and her colorful stage costumes. Tenkyuu Chimata of Touhou Project rounded out the top three, noted for her rainbow headband and flashy dress.
- Doma (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba): 1st place, about 13% support, second consecutive year at top
- Nijino Yume (Aikatsu Stars!): 2nd place, about 11% support, up from tie for 4th last year
- Tenkyuu Chimata (Touhou Project): 3rd place, about 6% support, up from tie for 4th last year
