Best Dandadan characters

Momo Ayase wins 67% of her duels and tops the Dandadan ranking ahead of Ken Takakura – Okarun.

The podium reveals a tight race at the summit, where Momo Ayase edges out Ken Takakura – Okarun by just 18 ELO points despite both characters holding dominant positions. Okarun himself secures 64% of his matchups across 157 duels, suggesting broad approval for the protagonist. But the real divide emerges between ranks 2 and 3: a 138-point chasm separates Okarun from Seiko, the widest gap in the entire ranking. This gulf suggests two distinct tiers, with the series' core duo commanding overwhelming approval while the supporting cast trails at a distance. Seiko, Momo's grandmother, holds the middle ground with a 50% win rate, while Turbo Granny and Jin Enjoji occupy the fourth and fifth spots with declining success rates. At the bottom, Aira Shiratori sits 86 points behind Jin Enjoji, capturing only 35% of her matchups and confirming her status as the community's least favored character among these six contenders.

Across 824 duels, 90 players have shaped this hierarchy of Dandadan's cast, weighing charisma, development and fan attachment across 6 contenders. The ranking was last updated on 11 October 2026.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
