The Fabulous Five of Love Hina: Motoko Aoyama, Mitsune Konno ("Kitsune"), Shinobu Maehara, Naru Narusegawa, Kaolla Su.


Browsing pictures of the LH girls, it is interesting to observe different combinations of the Fabulous Five and the rest of the female cast.

My question is: If you had to list "all" girls and women of at least some importance in LH, who would you include and how would you rank them?

The ranking should be based on how important for LH you find the characters, rather than how hot or cute you find them (although this will certainly affect your judgement of importance).

If you simply forget someone, no prob. That is a good indicator of the unimportance of the character. On the other hand, you are free to include nameless Tokyo University students and the like; they have received favorite character votes on official Japanese reader polls so there is no reason to exclude them here.

My ranking:

1. Mutsumi Otohime
2. Haruka Urashima
3. Kanako Urashima
4. Sarah McDougal
5. Tsuruko Aoyama
6. Nyamo Namo
7. Natsumi Otohime
8. Hinata Urashima ("Grandma Hina")
9. Amalla Su
10. Mei Narusegawa
11. Ema Maeda
12. Kaolla Su's bodyguards
13. Mrs. Maehara (Shinobu's mother)
14. Akiko Taichi

Besides, I know of but have so little information on Emi Ichikawa, Sachiyo Matsumoto and Kikuko Onoue (other sources: Kikuko Ogami) that I cannot really rank them.
