* ''VisualNovel/DateALiveRinneUtopia'' has the title character Rinne Sonogami, an OriginalGeneration character made for the game. Mostly thanks to her being the HaremNanny, the fact that she wants Shido [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy to be happy to whichever girl he chooses]], and the fact that she's a NiceGirl made fans want more of her. [[spoiler: Which makes it all the more [[TearJerker heartbreaking]] to see her disappear and Shido pulling off a SkywardScream and that she won't get remembered by Shido. This is because the events of the game happen just after the anime/fourth volume and before volume 5 in which she wasn't present.]].



* ''VisualNovel/IkemenSengoku'':
** It's clear that the creators didn't expect Kenshin Uesugi to become one of the game's most popular characters -- his route wasn't slated to be released until after six other guys' (out of eleven) and he rarely ever gets focus in early events. From the start, however, a lot of fans immediately became interested in the [[BloodKnight battle-happy]] PrettyBoy with a hinted-at [[DarkAndTroubledPast tragic past]] and [[{{Yandere}} possessive streak]] and started clamoring for his route. When his route was finally released, the game's next popularity poll in Japan had him be ranked in first place ahead of Nobunaga and Masamune who used to be virtual locks for first and second place in popularity polls. Even in the English fandom where his yandereness is somewhat more divisive, he still easily ranks in the top 3 of popularity polls.
** Mitsuhide Akechi, especially in the [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff English fandom]]. You'd be hard-pressed to find a player who ''doesn't'' love the silver-haired trickster who gets many of the game's funniest lines in his [[TheGadfly constant teasing and trolling of others]] but has a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold true heart of gold]] underneath all of his snark, especially after Hideyoshi's route depicted him as [[HopelessSuitor secretly falling in love with the player character]] but [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy staying quiet about it so that she could be happy with Hideyoshi]]. And all of this love is for a character who took an ''extremely'' long time to get an actual route!
* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'': The Paranoid, Misogynistic, Conspiracy Theorist, Kenji Setou.
** [[ShrinkingViolet Hanako Ikezawa]] is this due to the sheer amount of fan art featuring her.

* [[ColdSniper Sola]] seems pretty popular with the VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}} fanbase, despite not having appeared in the game proper.
* For the fans of ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'', Nrvnqsr "Nero" Chaos and Satsuki "Sacchin" Yumizuka seem to be well liked, with the former due to his badassness and the later for her cuteness and unfortunate fate both in-game and metawise.

* It is practically a given that in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' fandom, [[FutureBadass Archer]] has more fans than [[StayInTheKitchen Shirou]]. This is hilarious because [[spoiler:Archer ''[[FutureBadass is]]'' Shirou]].
** The release of Unlimited Blade Works, however, may also put Lancer in this position. After the release, a lot of message boards (those who played UBW) were saying "Lancer is more GAR than Archer!" [[spoiler:And yes, he's never alive by the end of any scenarios like Archer.]]
** Rider as well. It's too bad she gets so little screen time even in the route focusing on her and Sakura as the heroines.
** [[LittleBitBeastly Playable Caster]] of ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' likely qualifies. She's barely promoted at all, but she's only a little behind Saber in terms of popularity in Japan, and probably surpasses her by a large margin in the west.
** To a more minor degree, Assassin. Many people find his calmness and his [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] and the way he was able to stand up to ''Saber'' despite his [[BadassNormal limitations]] far more awesome than any of the above. And then, of course, there's the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic music]] that plays during his fight with Saber in the Fate route.

is practically a given that an overall minor character in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' fandom, [[FutureBadass Archer]] has more fans than [[StayInTheKitchen Shirou]]. This is hilarious because [[spoiler:Archer ''[[FutureBadass is]]'' Shirou]].
** The release
terms of Unlimited Blade Works, however, may also put Lancer his role in this position. After the release, a lot of message boards (those who played UBW) were saying "Lancer is more GAR than Archer!" [[spoiler:And yes, he's story, usually suffering from TheWorfEffect [[spoiler:and never alive by making it to the end of any scenarios like Archer.]]
of the novel's routes alive]]. Despite this, fans ''absolutely love'' the guy, thanks to his likable personality, his status as an AntiVillain, and for having the goal of [[BloodKnight just wanting to enjoy fighting]] in the Holy Grail War, a much simpler goal compared to the more complex goals of the other characters. It helps that [[spoiler:his death in the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route is considered to be [[DyingMomentOfAwesome one of the coolest moments in the novel]]]].
** Rider spends the novel's first two routes as well. It's too bad she gets so little screen time even the first to die, only seeing any significant development in the route focusing on her and Sakura as the heroines.
** [[LittleBitBeastly Playable Caster]] of ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' likely qualifies.
''Heaven's Feel'' route. She's barely promoted at all, but she's only still very well liked by fans, however, thanks to being a little behind Saber in terms of popularity in Japan, beautiful MsFanservice, [[spoiler:being a rare, non-evil take on [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Medusa]]]], and probably surpasses her by for being an overall compelling character.
** [[spoiler:Fake]] Assassin, aka UsefulNotes/SasakiKojiro, is
a large margin fairly minor character in the west.
** To a more minor degree, Assassin. Many people find
grand scheme of the story, yet his calmness NobleDemon status and his [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] and the way he was able ability to stand up to ''Saber'' Saber despite his [[BadassNormal limitations]] far more awesome than any being a BadassNormal at best resulted in him getting a lot of fans.
** [[spoiler:[[Myth/ArthurianLegend Bedivere]]]] [[LastEpisodeNewCharacter only shows up in the final scene]]
of the above. And then, ''Fate'' route, but still managed to amass a following among fans. This popularity would continue for years until he finally made a return in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' as a major character, which only cemented his fan-favorite status.
** [[spoiler:[[SuperpoweredEvilSide Saber Alter]]]] only appears for a limited amount
of course, there's the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic music]] that plays time during the ''Heaven's Feel'' route, but the sheer coolness of her concept and character, as well as being a central part of the extremely popular [[MultipleEndings Sparks Liner High ending]], resulted in her gaining quite a following.
** Issei Ryuudou, Shirou's MuggleBestFriend, is a minor character, but became popular among fans for
his fight with Saber in likable personality, his role as a {{foil}} for [[HateSink Shinji]], the Fate route.absolutely hilarious scene in which [[ItMakesSenseInContext Shirou strips him to make sure he's not Caster's Master]], and for having a surprising amount of shipping fuel between him and Shirou.

** Adrian Andrews, a central character to the final case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'' who had a minor appearance in the 2nd case of the 3rd game, ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'', is far more popular in the fandom than any other side character. This partly has to do with her having the central role in a fan-favorite case, but more importantly, there's the implied LesYay between her and the WhipItGood {{Tsundere}} Prosecutor Franziska von Karma. This might also be because fairly early in the case, [[spoiler:she turns from being a hard-edged talent agent into a soft-hearted puppy, because [[TheWoobie she was the real victim all along]]]]. Some of that may also be explained by [[spoiler: players feeling guilty for having to re-accuse her of a crime they know she's innocent of [[WeNeedADistraction to bide time]], and later [[SadisticChoice being forced to choose between her life or Maya's]].]] It's quite a feat to have the player feel personally involved like that.



** Until ''Apollo Justice'' hit the market in America, Ema Skye appeared in all of one case (albeit a big one) in the first game as [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute a stand-in for Phoenix's assistant, Maya]]. However, she apparently struck a chord with people, given that her coverage practically ''eclipsed'' Maya for a while -- maybe it was the magenta goggles and flair [[ForSCIENCE for scientific investigation]]. She was almost the protagonist of ''Investigations'' before a certain cravatted prosecutor took over.
** Matt Engarde, who only appeared in ONE case, but has a huge fanbase. His rival, Juan Corrida, was just the victim of the case, and he has gained loads of fans (though this may be because of fanartist Zarla's works).

** Crossing over with OneSceneWonder: up until [[Anime/Danganronpa3 the anime]] gave him more focus, [[spoiler: Izuru Kamukura]] had maybe five minutes of screentime total, yet became wildly popular among the fanbase. This is largely thanks to [[spoiler: his [[RedEyesTakeWarning cool]] [[BadassInANiceSuit design]], [[AmbiguouslyEvil him having]] [[TragicVillain a compelling]] [[BrokenAce personality]] [[AmbiguouslyHuman and backstory]], and his reputation as TheDreaded. The scene of him [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome punching through Shirokuma and Kurokuma's skulls]], made of ''solid steel'', with his ''bare hands'',]] netted him the MemeticBadass label and increased his popularity further.
** As for the students themselves, [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc the first game]] has popular characters such as Kiyotaka Ishimaru for his earnest attempts to uphold the group dynamic and keep people working together towards a common goal and his OddFriendship with [[BadassBiker Mondo Owada]] (which has a lot of HoYay thrown in)
*** Chihiro Fujisaki is also a fan favourite for being a {{Moe}} character, [[spoiler: a WholesomeCrossdresser, his status for having a SmallRoleBigImpact, and his HiddenDepths]]
*** Aoi Asahina is this due to her friendly and energetic personality, her love for donuts, and [[spoiler: being one of the nicest surviving characters in the game]] along with Makoto.
*** And last but not least Sakura Ogami is this due to her status as a GentleGiant and her [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice which counts as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome]].
** As for [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair the second game]], some of the most popular students include Ibuki Mioda for her design and upbeat personality, Mikan Tsumiki for being TheWoobie with a {{Yandere}} streak ([[spoiler: even if her actions in chapter 3 made her a bit of a BaseBreakingCharacter for some. Doesn't help that she murders the fan-favourite Ibuki in cold blood]]) and Gundham Tanaka for being a [[LargeHam hammy]] {{Cloudcuckoolander}} that presents himself as an EvilOverlord and secretly wants to have friends.
** Nagisa seems to the most popular character from VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls for his incredibly sympathetic back story that made him one of {{The Woobie}}s of that game.
** For being a [[spoiler: DecoyProtagonist, Kaede Akamastu]] is very popular with fans in VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony. It has gotten to the point where [[spoiler: Shuichi Saihara, the real protagonist of the game, ended up becoming a ReplacementScrappy with a ToughActToFollow.]]
*** Monodam is quite popular for not talking as much as the [[TheScrappy other Monokuma Cubs]] and [[spoiler: [[TakeThatScrappy leading Monokid and Monosuke to their deaths]]]].
*** Himiko Yumeno is also extremely popular with fans due to her being CuteWitch as well as her CharacterDevelopment. Gonta Gokuhara is also popular due to him being a FriendToAllLivingThings as well as him being a GentleGiant.
*** Despite being something of a BaseBreakingCharacter to some, Miu Iruma is popular among the fans for her unique design, useful talent and amusing personality. The [[http://news.mynavi.jp/ad/2017/entertainment/danganronpa/sp_r/ official popularity poll]] had her in fourth place only losing to some of the more major characters in the game.
*** Ryoma Hoshi to western audiences due to him having a more serious personality in the game in comparision to some of the past NonStandardCharacterDesign characters such as [[{{Otaku}} Hifumi]] and [[LovableSexManiac Teruteru]] (in which they both have been treated as TheScrappy) his status as TheWoobie, and being a surprisingly BadassAdorable.

** It's clear that the creators didn't expect Kenshin Uesugi to become one of the game's most popular characters -- his route wasn't slated to be released until after six other guys' (out of eleven) and he rarely ever gets focus in early events. From the start, however, a lot of fans immediately became interested in the [[BloodKnight battle-happy]] PrettyBoy with a hinted-at [[DarkAndTroubledPast tragic past]] and [[{{Yandere}} possessive streak]] and started clamoring for his route. When his route was finally released, the game's next popularity poll in Japan had him be ranked in first place ahead of Nobunaga and Masamune who used to be virtual locks for first and second place in popularity polls. Even in the English fandom where his yandereness is somewhat more divisive, he still easily ranks in the top 3 of popularity polls.
** Mitsuhide Akechi, especially in the [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff English fandom]]. You'd be hard-pressed to find a player who ''doesn't'' love the silver-haired trickster who gets many of the game's funniest lines in his [[TheGadfly constant teasing and trolling of others]] but has a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold true heart of gold]] underneath all of his snark, especially after Hideyoshi's route depicted him as [[HopelessSuitor secretly falling in love with the player character]] but [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy staying quiet about it so that she could be happy with Hideyoshi]]. And all of this love is for a character who took an ''extremely'' long time to get an actual route!

** Adrian Andrews, a central character to the final case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'' and had a minor appearance in the 2nd case of the 3rd game, ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'', is far more popular in the fandom than any other side character.
