Top 10 Most Butch/Stud-coded Sanrio Characters
inspired by @starry-eyed-lez as a Sanrio expert, I will be giving my official ranking (out of the top 90 characters in the 2025 sanrio character ranking, although there are others). I'll be giving a little explanation of each character and then my reasoning as to why they are where they are if you dont wanna sit through all that you can skip to the bottom and ill put a little Tl;Dr.
10. Yoshikitty
Yoshikitty is pretty much just Hello Kitty but she transformed into her favorite artist, Yoshiki and now basically is him. I think this character reminds me a lot of one of my mutuals on here with idolizing a male rock/metal musician. This is a very v-kei butch to me.
9. Shu☆Zo
Ok i might be kinda cheating with this one but it's my list so what're you gonna do about it? Shu is a member of band within the Show By Rock!! universe. That's why he technically counts as part of the top 90 characters of the sanrio ranking. He's extremely charismatic and knows it, that's why he's the front man of the band Trichronika. He's a gentleman and he knows he's all that and flaunts it which I love seeing in butches.
8.
This is Landry hes known for being mischevious and he loves his little stripey tail. He also loves mozart. Now for me, Landry has always been very akin in my mind to Rodrick. So Landry is sort of the "teenage dirtbag" butch archetype but don't let that fool you he loves cleaning because he is a raccoon.
7. Fuku- Chan
This is your big fluffy sporty butch. Fuku loves football (both american and the original) his catchphrase is "smile everyday" AND he loves nail art. This butch will do your nails for whatever sports game you guys are going to see and he's a big ball of sunshine.
6.
We all saw this one coming. I will give my reasons as to why hes not higher up but as for him, Purin loves going out and exercising and he also collects shoes. Now, despite being a golden retriever, he is very laid back and loves naps. He's the most domestic butch you'll ever find.
5. Berry
You might have no clue who this is but that's ok. Berry is a demon that lives behind a mirror dimension in sort of a castle outside of Cinnamoroll's town. That little femme with him is Cherry who is more interested in Espresso (another cinnamoroll character) because he's rich but trust they're peak, enemies to lovers, evil, goth Butchfemme. Together they're called Lloromannic (Cinnamoroll backwards) because their whole thing is taking down Cinnamoroll.
4. Pokkyokuten
Poe is a part-timer at a bathhouse and loves ice cream. He tends to always be short on money which is just his running joke but extremely relatable. Hes a polar bear and I don't need to explain anything because look at him.
3. Bad Badtz-Maru
Badtz-maru is mischievous penguin, and little bit of a "bad boy" but he actually dreams of owning his own small business one day. I know I already called Landry the Rodrick/"teenage dirtbag" butch but Badtz-maru can share that spot. Also tell me you don't know like bare minimum 3 butches and/or studs with that exact hairstyle.
2. Tuxedo-Sam
This is Tuxedo-Sam another penguin (penguins are butch-coded fight me) He's a distinguished gentleman and owns 365 bow ties and speaks both English and Japanese fluently. He was Hello Kitty's original love interest especially in Hello Kitty theater and since he was introduced in 1979 so about 20 years before our Lead Butch.
Dear Daniel
Dear Daniel is Hello Kitty's childhood friend and the butchest character of all time. He's technically "a little girl" since Hello Kitty is also a "little girl". Dear Daniel loves finding the wonder and joy in everyday little things, He travelled to Africa with his father who is a photographer but moved back to New York where Hello Kitty lives and they've been together ever since.
Anyways!! Thank you for listening to the demented ramblings of a sanrio and butch obsessed femme. If you think I should do a femme version let me know I think that would be so much fun. Tell me who you think you'd add to the list or which Sanrio butch you are. kisses!!!!!<333
