Which popular anime characters look best in a swimsuit? Thousands of fans came together to answer that question.

Otamart—a popular Japanese app that specializes in anime, manga and idol products—have recently announced the results of a survey asking fans which anime characters look best in traditional summer wear, specifically a swimsuit or a yukata. The survey categories have been divided based on gender and clothing. The results have even been boiled down to what color looks best on them and even the type of swimsuit.

Standing at #1 in the anime/manga girl in a swimsuit category is Love Live's Nozomi Tojo, who fans like to see in a purple bikini. trailing behind her at #2 and #3 is Eli Ayase and Maki Nishikino of the same show in a light blue bikini and red bikini respectively.

Umi Sonoda of Love Live tops the anime/manga girls in yukata list wearing navy colors, with Nozomi also making this list at second wearing purple and retaining her third place status is Maki Nishikino wearing red.

The fictional girl categories go as follows:
