Which villager has the most Japanese Design ? - Themed Polls

[Magus]

Hello Bell Tree community !
Welcome to the THEMED POLLS.
There will be 10 polls, each with a different theme.

Today the theme is JAPAN, the idea is to vote for the villager you think has the most Traditional Japanese design of the bunch.

To select the candidates I relied less on the tier list than for the personality polls, because I tried to choose the villagers that are fitting the theme the best even if some of them can be low tier. I also tried to have a little variety since everyone has different feelings and opinions towards villagers...
I hope the selection will suits you well, you still have the "Other" option if you have another villager on your mind.
Plus, you can vote for 2 villagers if you want.

HERE ARE THE CONTESTANTS :

Yeah Blanche, Gladys and Cranston are really similar in terms of inspiration and fit the theme, I had to choose only 1 out of the 3 for variety in the list.

i’m gonna be real honest, i don’t know much about japanese culture at all but genji reminds me the most of japan so i voted for him ;u;

 

[Rosch]

Snake and Ken is tied for both being ninjas. But the most Japanese of all is definitely Kabuki. That face tells it all.

 

[Mick]

Octavian, I personally wouldn't be able to stand him but not only is he an octopus (lol, japan and their seafood stuff) but also his house looks like

i’m gonna be real honest, i don’t know much about japanese culture at all but genji reminds me the most of japan so i voted for him ;u;

Tu help you a little :

Annalisa - Inspired by japanese porcelaine dolls.
Coco - Reference to the Yayoi Period (300BC-AD300) in Japan, an era near the end of which Haniwa statues, the inspiration for gyroids, were first created.
Clay - Reference to Dogū, a type of traditional Japanese clay figurine, which his appearance is based on.
Cranston - Design based on the crested ibis, a popular symbol of wildlife conservation in Japan due to its endangered status.
Genji - Genji means a "military geek" in Japanese and his apparence is based on a mochi (a japanese rice cake).
Greta - Her design is based on the otafuku, a type of Japanese mask.
Kabuki - He is named after the traditional Japanese plays of the same name, from which he also gets his ornate red patterning.
Snake - His Japanese name likely comes from Momochi Tamba, a legendary ninja who founded the Iga school of ninjutsu. As the first two syllables of his Japanese name, momo also mean peach in Japanese, it's why his face is pink.
Zucker - His Japanese name and overall appearance refer to takoyaki, a popular Japanese food made with octopus.

ah, thank you! i knew about coco and zucker and vaguely remember hearing about the others but my memory is just,, yikes lmao. i think my vote still goes to genji but i’m definitely also considering greta since the resemblance to the otafuku is uncanny. but zucker and clay get bonus points for being adorable ;u;

 

[InstantNoodles]

Voted for Genji and Kabuki. Would have wanted to vote for snake as well! I also think there are some Japanese-themed bird villagers like Gladys(?)

 

[Sheep Villager]

Annalisa and Kabuki get my vote. Those two just spring to mind first with this theme.
I do like Walt a lot, but I can't say he comes to mind immediately as Japanese themed.

Also look at Clay... just chilling... naked... in his picture.​

 

[Bloobloop]

i voted for genji, his name reminds me of the overwatch character and he was the first villager i thought of when i saw the title!

 

[Alicia]

I voted for Kabuki and Genji!

 

[Ananas Dragon]

I know pretty much nothing about Japan but uh
Genji is on this poll so I vote for him

(i like him he's cool)

 

[Marshmallows]

Voted Genji and Greta. Kabuki too, but could only choose 2.

For the longest time I thought Zucker was a cream puff/profiterole.

 

[Bk1234]

I voted for Zucker because he is adorable! My "Other" vote goes to Blanche. (I think she has a Japanese-themed design?)

Blanche

She's based of a swan I think. But she wears a kimono and have a very japanese house interior so she could fit in this poll !

 

[pup]

zucker is a snack

his house and design are so iconic and he reminds me of my time studying abroad in japan and eating terrible grocery store takoyaki with friends. i didn't know about the inspo for annalisa's design tho! i dig that. i'm not normally drawn to the anteaters but she's a good'un.

 

[Corrie]

Definitely Kabuki. Zucker and Snake are close seconds.
