The poll, conducted from April 1 to April 8, 2026, received responses from 380 readers, with a gender ratio of about 40% male and 60% female. Hinata took roughly 19% of the vote. Voters cited his bright orange hair, sunny personality, and the series' association with the color orange, including the \"Orange Court\" of the Spring High volleyball tournament and the movie theme song titled \"Orange.\" Nami from \"One Piece\" placed second with about 11% of the vote, holding that position for the fourth year in a row. Readers noted her orange hair, the tangerine groves tied to her backstory, and her representation of Ehime Prefecture in a music collaboration project. Jeremiah Gottwald from \"Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion\" rose from seventh place last year to third, with about 4% of the vote, boosted by the series' 20th anniversary revival screenings.","whyItMatters":"The poll's top three are unchanged from last year's order, but Jeremiah Gottwald's jump from seventh to third shows that anniversary events can shift character visibility in long-running fan surveys.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eAnime Anime's \"orange image color\" survey is part of a recurring series of color-themed character polls the outlet runs each year.
