Top 20 Tennen Characters Ranking | Toya Aoyagi, Shoto Todoroki Make the List! 2025 Spacomic Poll
What is a "Natural Airhead"? Why is it so Popular?
In the world of anime and games, 天然呆 (Tennen / Natural Airhead) has always been one of the most lethal moe traits. These characters often possess formidable strength or a serious appearance, yet display hilariously clueless behavior in daily life. This "gap moe" always easily captures the hearts of fans.
The renowned Japanese anime information website Spacomic announced the latest "Natural Airhead Character Ranking" in 2025. This list compiles popular characters from classic anime to the latest hit mobile games. Let's delve into this TOP 20 list to see who fans consider the strongest "natural" character.

What is a "Natural Airhead"? Why is it so Popular?
In ACG culture, "natural airhead" does not refer to stupidity, but rather to characters who are pure-hearted, slow to react, often have unique misunderstandings about common sense, or unconsciously do cute, silly things. They often excel in their professional fields (like combat, music) but act like children in everyday matters. This combination of "unattainable beauty" and "life idiot" is precisely the secret to their enduring popularity.
TOP 3 Natural Airhead Characters Detailed Analysis: The Perfect Blend of Strength and Cluelessness
1st Place: Toya Aoyagi
- Work: Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat. Hatsune Miku
Topping the list is Toya Aoyagi from Project SEKAI. An elite from a classical music family, Toya appears calm and composed, giving off an unapproachable impression. However, his understanding of "commoner culture" is almost zero:
- Shows an abnormal obsession with crane games
- Lacks common sense during camping
His manner of saying silly things with a completely serious face makes countless "Toya fans" exclaim how cute he is. His "unconscious natural" behavior displayed in many event stories is indeed the key to his victory this time.

2nd Place: Shoto Todoroki
- Work: My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia's Shoto Todoroki takes second place. Possessing the powerful Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk, he was originally a cool character burdened with a heavy past. But as the story progresses, fans discover he is actually a super "literalist." When classmates joke or use metaphors, Todoroki will interpret them literally with a serious face, causing many laugh-out-loud awkward moments. This contrast between formidable combat power and social awkwardness is Todoroki's greatest charm.
3rd Place: Shizuku Hinomori
- Work: Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat. Hatsune Miku
Project SEKAI makes the list again, this time with the popular idol Shizuku Hinomori. She is the typical "beautiful tech idiot":
- Possesses stunning looks and perfect idol aura
- But is a super bad navigator and clueless about electronic devices
Her clumsy feeling of "trying so hard to get things right but reading the map upside down" stirs a strong protective instinct.
