TOP 5: Child Stars

Number 5
Coming in at number five is little Maria Takarada from my personal favorite series, Skip Beat. There was so much put into this character. Her tragic back story, her one-sided love for one of the main characters, and the connection she makes with the protagonist, Kyoko, affect pretty much everything she does in the story, which is more than you can say for a lot of characters. The only thing keeping her back at number five is that the writers kind of push Maria off to the side after a little bit and move on to other things, which is much more than this wonderful character deserves.

Number 4

I wish I could have found a bigger piucture of this girl instead of having to blow up an icon. Anyway, our number 4 child star is Stella from Arakawa Under the Bridge. She's the adorable, english speaking blonde brittish girl who, like most english speaking anime characters, isn't actually all that good at english. She looks and acts completely innocent, but she's hiding the fact that she's a badass kick-ass bundle of horror who transforms into an enormous man-lady when she gets pissed. Why is she only number four? Because once you get past her first appearence episode, nobody really seems to like her anymore.

Number 3
Number 3 is Kaolla Su from Love Hina. She's a foreigner from who the hell knows where, and you never really know what she's going to do next even though the only thing ever on her mind seems to be food. Her ideal greeting is a kick in the face, and yet you still kinda want to jump into the screen and give her a giant hug. AND she's an inventor. AND AND! She can change her age. So basicly, she kicks ass. End of story.

Number 2

Number two had to be two characters, because you kind of have no choice but to group them together. It's Tsukino and Kano Miyazawa from Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances). These girls are the amazing kid sisters of the protagonist, Yukino, and will bring a smile to your face just about every time they appear. Personally, I want these guys to be my kid sisters. They're adorable, smart, supportive, and hillarious and would be a joy to have in any household. Sometimes I wonder if the writer of Kare Kano created these characters specifically as the two amazing sisters she never had.

Number 1
And the number one child-star in anime is Anzu from Hanamaru Kindergarten, who may just be the youngest protagonist in anime history. Like most little girls, Anzu just won't shut up. But unlike most little girls, you don't want her to. She is an adorably lovable character, despite the fact that she's in love with someone at least five times her age. She has the ability to climb up a human being like a monkey, drive a kiddie car around like a pro with a grown man sitting next to her, and pretty much get everyone in the kindergarten on her side in her battle for a love that will obviously never be. And for those reasons, Anazu is the number one anime child-star of all time.
