A recent survey asking Japanese which anime character they would most like to try living with has yielded some rather surprising results.
The results:
1. Doraemon (Doraemon)
2. Korosuke (Kiteretsu Daihyakka)
3. Lum (Urusei Yatsura)
4. Keroro (Keroro Gunsou)
5. Hattori-kun (Ninja Hattori-kun)
6. Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin)
7. Ojarumaru (Ojarumaru)
8. Ranma (Ranma 1/2)
9. Nyanko-sensei (Natsume’s Book of Friends)
10. Belldandy (Oh My Goddess)
Some might wonder at just who they asked in order to avoid getting answers like “Mio” or “Luffy”; it seems the ranking is restricted to “live-in” characters (although this still leaves open a few odd cases), characters who appear and for whatever reasons insist on living with the protagonist or similar
Other notables included To Love-Ru’s Lala at 12, Rozen Maiden’s Shinku at 14, and Kannagi’s Nagi-sama at 19. Understandably, nobody in their right mind would want to live with the likes of Haruhi.

i wouldn't want korosuke to live with me, he'll get more annoying by the week. now doraemon, i'd strip him off all his technological shit and then give him to some random family. I wouldn't want to live with someone who'd be correcting my errors in life 24/7.
If the idea is "friends with benefits" then that changes things a lot, but my understanding is this would be more like roommates. In that case, I can see the attraction of "You want it? Done!" Doraemon.
But I'd go for Kyoko from Maison Ikkoku, Belldandy, or Aoi in terms of who would be nice to have around the house. Mahoro is good, too, and since none of the others I mentioned would be very fond of smut either, that part of her personality isn't really an issue.
"Understandably, nobody in their right mind would want to live with the likes of Haruhi."
I loled at this
"Understandably, nobody in their right mind would want to live with the likes of Haruhi."
Well said.
If I were to choose an anime character for this poll, I'd go with Belldandy. She's the epitome of all naiveté beauties in the anime world.
Ranma but no Kasumi?
People prefer free nipples and topless daily service than good meals... :3
Nyanko-sensei!!!
Where is my Maria of HnG?
3 of them are from Fujio.F.Fujiwara. Not to mention than most of them are "Problem-solver" that made your life a paradise.
Kenshin,Fuck yes.
I won't mind a butler like Hayate...
So you want a Gundam for a butler?
Personally I'd prefer an outgoing, confident, and if possible, teasing girl, since those are the type of girls I like best, both in manga/anime/VN's, and real life. Examples would be Asa from SHUFFLE, Satsuki from Ichigo 100%, or Kyou from Clannad(tsundere is another good quality). Though there's always cute lolis aswell. Rika would be my favourite in that case. "Nipaah~!" ^^ My all-time favourite anime/manga/VN character and waifu interest though is Tohsaka Rin from Fate/stay night. Love you, Rin-chama.
My personal choice would be Nadia (Secret of Blue Water). But from that list, I'd choose Lum.
Belldandy FTW!
*barf*
Takahashi Rumiko scored a double hit on the top 10.
Belldandy, fuck yeah!
(Minami)Haruka nee-sama. Guaranteed choice. Getting rid of the sister(s) may be optional.
I would like to have Chiaki with me :3
I'll have her sitting on my lap everyday..
Live with Cirno. THE STRONGEST!
If I were to choose a Touhou Character I'd choose Nitori or Eirin as I'd have a lot of stuff in common with either.
Then again it's hard to beat Udongein's sex appeal.
I take Youmu, personally. Just look at her skills! She's just perfect as a wife!
Where the f*** is Orochimaru in that list!?
I totally agree with you.
He's such a babe.
Imagine what he does with that tongue <3
Ok, that is just creepy and kinda disgusting dudes.....Orochimaru!? A pale, evil, snickering, 50 year old snake freak with a sickingly long tongue, that just reattaches if cut in two(4TK Naruto fight)? Do...not...want!
Belldandy for the win
Seriously, that would be wonderful in so many ways.
ANG ANG ANG!
DORAEMON FTW
doramon------->GTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFO%@%#@!%$!#@%!@!@
Cheburashka FTW!
DORAEMON IS THE BEST. no doubt about it.
but wth with kenshin, you need him to slash yakuza who always bully you? o_O
I'm surprised Konata didn't make the top ten list as she would share a lot of common interests with most otaku.
Though if I were to choose to live with an anime character I'd choose Washu-chan from Tenchi lets face it she's the most useful character.
She really can do anything and has both a loli and a really hot milf form.
But then again she would be kinda dangerous as you could get experimented on.
Another much safer choice maybe Tsuruya from Haruhi.
Yuki Nagato also would be a good choice nice and quiet and can hack reality think of her as Washu without the craziness but unfortunately no cannon hot oppai form well she probably could still do it.
I Love You Taiga And Kaname Chidori-Sama They Would Be My First Choices. *Ahh Its Like Heaven*
so you like Louise and Chidori?
no he likes mudkips
where is Gu? wouldn't anyone like to live with Gu?
As a masochist, it's a toss up between Guu and Dokuro-chan.
Himemiya Chikane.... i don't care if she's a yuri... i'd love to live with her D;!
I like Himeko better though.
Luffy would eat all your food and break shit around your house. XD
I'd probably pick Konata, even if she doesn't want to have sex we could still be great friends and talk about anime all the time.
Konata would be great to have as a friend really....think I would have liked that just as much as having her as a girlfriend.
No haro ;_;
I would have to choose Pino. She doesn't need to eat, wouldn't take up a lot of space, and is expressly designed to be a 'companion'.
Weird little android girls are the best!
Kenshin <3
and oh I'd totally do Nyanko-sensei.
I wouldn't mind Ranma, as long as he remains in his girl form forever.
just standby alot of cold water pails.
Or use Obaba's cat tongue curse or whatever it's called..
LUM <3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want Manaka...
Rin Tosaka and Kyon kun denwa
Of course no one in their right mind would want to live with the likes of Haruhi, thats why so many people want it, including myself.
I could see Lum... If she was as attached to me as Ataru.
(I'd definitely take advantage of what he seems to actively refuse.)
Where the hell is Sebastian(Kuroshitsuji)? =_=
Konata.
It's like a bro you can fuck. Without the gay.
Asuna Kagurazaka. I am in love with her.
damn I was hoping the aunt from denpa onna to seishun otoko would be here
agree with doraemon
all the dream gadget from doraemon...
with doraemon future's technology, i can get anything
I'd live with the Legion of Gods: Chuck Norris, his daughter Haruhi, his younger brother The Rock, and Jesus Christ
Wait ... What did I say ?
But I love Haruhi....
i want kenshin he hot
You do not "live" with the Goddess. The Goddess lives in you.
this ranking is only homestay character
This Anon doesn't know about 2), 5), 7) & 9) at all. They're popular?
Yep
If Doraemon didn't win, I'd have to wonder what's wrong with them. The little loyal dude helps you through life, and helps you get girls, too.
If it's about long term living together, with my current self and lifestyle, these would be my choices.
Sakura Kinomoto
Ultra cute, and some of the Clow Cards are actually quite useful in everyday life as well...Sweet/Create = free food, Mirror = extra copy of yourself in case you need to be at two places at once, Fly/Float=No need for bus/train/airplane tickets. Rain,Snow, Storm etc =Weather manipulation. Return = You can see the past. Dream = and the future. Maze = No unwanted guests, ever.
Patchouli Knowledge
Knows all kinds of magic, or at least has a book on it. Doesn't want to go out, so she won't complain about me staying home either. And I'm sure she'd be interested in the internet.
Konata Izumi
I don't think I need to tell why she is a great choice.
Konata, huh... Well, we can trade and discuss eroge with each other, that would be fun (man, sometimes it feels like I'm the only person who reads visual novels in my whole city; it's kind of lonely).
I just want to live with my beloved Konata! I don’t need and want someone else!
She is absolutely wonderful and I am sure that someday we will live happily together, just the two of us.
Ahhhh Konata, I love you so much! I love you from the bottom of my heart and with all my might! I will protect you and do everything for you, so I can see you beautiful smile everyday! Please be my wife, Konata!
For once, Japan comes through as sensible.
I would love to live with Ranma. Life would never be dull.
I don't know if anyone noticed it, but the ones that are qualified to be in the poll in the first place are characters that are considered "live in", meaning that they came and lived in the same house as the main character, or in Kenshin's case, a Rurouni that ended up in the house of Kaoru.
This means that characters that have their own homes, aka Haruhi, Luffy, etc, are disqualified from the list.
1. rin kokonoe
2. shampoo (from ranma)
3. tsumugi kotobuki
4. osaka (azumanga daioh)
5. elizabeth (persona 3 had anime sequences so imo that counts)
"Nihao, Ranma~"
I have a good connection with my inner kid. I never said I have anything against the show(I can't, since I know nothing about it), I just wonder how come so many European and/or American people have seen a japanese kids show. I thought it didn't air in these regions.
Lol, why the hell did my comment end up all the way down here? It's completely off, and makes no sense now.
I remember that i used to love Doraemon SOOO much! Yeah, living with him is a lot of fun!
No interest in these character at all... =_="
Seriuosly, Doraemon kicks ass as a roommate. Responsible use of his gadgets will make life a helluva lot easier.
Misato Katsunagi (evangelion) for me, casual sex is the way man.
How about someone who can do laundry and won't wreck up the place...
Doraemon can do Laundry, can fix up the place if it's wrecked, can get you laid with anyone you want if you play it right. ah heck, any other choice but Doraemon would be wrong because a vote for doraemon is a vote for everything
They'd probably be crap in bed.
Woot, Shinku is actually at 14? Oh, Lala's higher, too. Ah well, I'll get these then, they can keep their top 10... and since we're talking about Nagi, I'll also take Zange.
Lala's too ditzy, and I'm pretty sure her "clothing optional" attitude would end up in either your arrest, or your having to bail her out of jail.
well, at least Ranma is there!!
I'd want Dokuro-chan living with me.
That'd be great, she's got a nice bod.
If she is kind enough to resurrect you after splashing your brains out that is lol
pipirupiru pipirupi!
Personally, my vote's for Ryoko Hakubi.
Yah She'd defiantly be on my list.
Horo, Nagi-sama, Shana, Nia, Yakumo, Mizore and, OF COURSE, Izumi Konata!
I want to live with Rei or Nagato... or both for better lol...
Great choice
I'd happily sleep with Doraemon
XFD win @ Ojarumaru.
I would live with Sasami Jurai.
lol at ranma.
He is pretty much both sexes and his female counterpart is pretty hawt looking.
Then definitely Senjougahara
She'd staple your dick guaranteed. You'd need to be able to heal from having your guts used in a lasso to stand a chance.
She's pretty hot, but somehow scary and you never know what she's thinking. Living with her would be horrible!
Fuck yeah Doraemon, Who wouldn't want an adventure everyday with crazy gadgets
I see why they chose them. Almost all of those characters are good at housework like cleaning and cooking. People were actually thinking with their head rather than their penis for once.
I must agree with you,
not very surprising results for me
and
Hell Yeah!!! Doraemon!!
Living with Kenshin is fine too. He cooks, he washes, he sweeps, he's great with children... and he smacks thieves all the way to high orbit. All packed in one convenient package.
And Doraemon is the stuff of childhood. Who would not want to live in their childhood dream?
Who wouldn't
