Splatoon 2 × Sanrio Characters first began with fans being polled on the cutest Sanrio characters to date. This year, the top four favorites are Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, and Pompompurin. But rather than relying on polls to decide who deserves first place, Sanrio is getting creative with a Turf War tournament!
