Japanese FE character popularity contest results

It found these while browsing around the net, thought they would be interesting to share. 





To sum it up, according to Japan, the most popular Fire Emblem characters are:

1: Ike

2: Marth

3: Lucina

4: Lyn

5: Robin

6: Chrom

7: Tiki

8: Hector

9: Finn

10: Ephraim

I'm surprised to see that Ike is more popular than Marth, from what I've seen Ike isn't that well liked in Japan. I was also surprised to see that Roy isn't in the top 10.

Also Finn being 9th was unexpected, but he deserves it.

I wouldn't have expected Ike to be #1, that's for sure. But most of the list makes sense, they're the most popular Fire Emblem characters. Most are in Smash in some form, so some of the voters may have known them from Smash and voted them due to that.

I have seen quite a few of those Fire Emblem polls over the years and I did not think Ike would be number 1 here. I'm not surprised Roy did not crack the top 10 though since he is only liked by a small part of the Fire Emblem fanbase.

Tharja isn't in the top 10? That's quite surprising. 

I figured Marth would be first as well.
