Just like the fans, it's inevitable for a creator of a work to have a favorite character. When this happens, it can go horribly wrong, leading to the creator trying to force the character on an uninterested audience and we get a Creator's Pet. However, they can just as easily handle it better. Maybe the character isn't The Scrappy and audiences like them, or they don't get a lot of Character Focus, or maybe instead of Character Shilling the writer chooses to show instead of telling you how great the character is. Whatever the difference is, these characters do not qualify as a Creator's Pet. In fact, since many of the obvious tells for favoritism aren't there, often the only way to know for certain is from Word of God. Compare My Real Daddy, where the fanbase displays this towards one of the specific creators associated with a character or work. Contrast Creator's Pest, a character which the author hates. Compare Creator's Favorite Episode, which is this, but for works. |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Director Akiyuki Shinbo absolutely adores Sayaka, to the point that he begged Gen Urobuchi to bring Sayaka back to life after she'd been killed off, to which Urobuchi said no. Amusingly, Urobuchi's favorite is also Sayaka. | |

Naoto Hosoda, director of the anime adaptation of The Devil is a Part-Timer!, has openly declared his love for Chiho Sasaki, to the extent that the ending sequence for each episode includes Naoto's own fanart of her. The anime tends to downplay all of her negative attributes like how dangerous she can get when in Clingy Jealous Girl mode, and played up Emilia's aggressive nature to kill off any potential threat to his favorite ship of Chiho/Maou. | |

X-Men: Chris Claremont has a particular fondness for Storm (it's not a coincidence that bad guys under his pen often take a shine to her). He also particularly likes Kitty Pryde. On a lesser side, he was particularly fond of Sage during the early-to-mid-noughts, having her go from very minor recurring character to major member of a tertiary X-Men title to Uncanny X-Men to New Excalibur to a major supporting role in his run on Exiles. Surpassing all of the above, however, is Magneto, who Claremont famously reinvented from a stock Card-Carrying Villain into the tormented He Who Fights Monsters archetype fans know and love today. Indeed, Magneto was so favored by Claremont that when he left Marvel in the '90s, his last story focused on Magneto taking on a Bastard Understudy named Fabian who then quickly betrayed him. (Coincidentally, the writer replacing Claremont was Fabian Nicieza.) Dave Cockrum's favorite X-Man was his creation Nightcrawler, while John Byrne's favorite was Cyclops. |

Bleach: Creator Tite Kubo admitted he likes every character he's created. However, he's often misquoted as saying his favourite is Mayuri Kurotsuchi: Mayuri is his favourite character to draw. The character is guaranteed to always appear in bizarre costumes and make-up. He is also the author's exploration of "necessary evil" and Kubo has admitted writing Mayuri's character has made him reassess what he is and is not willing to tolerate in life. A downplayed example for the anime; out of Ichigo's sisters, the staff seems to prefer Karin over Yuzu. In the first episode of the anime, it's Karin, not Yuzu, who's taken by a Hollow and causes Ichigo to use Shinigami powers to save her, while in the manga it was Yuzu. Also Karin gets way more filler episodes dedicated to her than Yuzu does, even getting some mild Ship Tease on her end with Hitsugaya, which is exclusive to the anime. |

Tuco from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It's easy to see why. He's the most interesting, three-dimensional character in the movie, and by far the most likeable. Both Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef realized that director Sergio Leone had a great deal of affection for Tuco, and the director and Eli Wallach became good friends afterwards, in spite of the world of pain that Wallach went through making the movie. | |

By his own admission, Perry Saturn was a favorite of WCW booker Eric Bischoff. It wasn't enough to get him through the glass ceiling, but Saturn always had something to do, had a reign as Television Champion and a reign as Tag Champion (with Raven). More importantly, he rarely had to lose at a time when undercard wrestlers who managed to get over were often punished for it by being jobbed and humiliated. | |

Chess-centric YouTube channel founder and star agadmator will show any interesting game that crosses his path, but often favors games from Mikhail Tal, Rashid Nezhmetdinov, and Vassily Ivanchuk.

Sable came into WWF at a time when women's wrestling was dead and the only role for women was to valet. Furthermore, she hadn't the microphone skills of either of the other women on the roster, Sunny and Marlena both having been in the wrestling business for years. Yet, for some reason, both Vince McMahon and Vince Russo were enamored of her. And thanks to good writing and pushing her as an Action Girl (something that had never been done by a promotion with a national audience at the time), for a couple years, everyone else was too. WWF even brought back the Women's Championship just to give Sable something to do, and even the purists couldn't say too much bad about her matches because there was nothing to compare them to and they were mostly booked around her inability to actually wrestle. Sable was less than pleasant to deal with behind the scenes and this caught up with her, causing her to leave WWF in mid-1999. When she returned in 2003 she was no longer so unique and wasn't pushed as hard as a result - nonetheless she could be seen in the background of a lot of upper card angles, although she wasn't the focus of them. | |

The Simpsons: Lisa is Matt Groening's favorite character as seen here and here. Although in this interview he says that his favorite is Homer. He also has mentioned some of the secondary characters as his favorite, like Comic Book Guy, Apu, and Ralph Wiggum. Former showrunner Bill Oakley's favorite character is Superintendent Chalmers, due to him believing that he "seemed to operate in the normal human universe" compared to the other members of Springfield Elementary. Joe Mantegna, the voice actor for recurring Simpsons character Fat Tony has also stated in interviews how much he enjoys voicing the character, and will take time out of his schedule to make appearances as him in the show. Even if Fat Tony's only line in the episode is, quote, "him choking on a pretzel"note Early on, the producers had Phil Hartman voice Fat Tony for a quick cameo thinking that Mantegna wouldn't be interested/or would be too expensive for brief appearances, leading Mantegna to declare that he'll always be available to voice Fat Tony no matter how much or how little was required of him. |

Samurai Warriors developers are very fond of Naotora Ii as her model is based from Real Life Japanese actress Satomi Ishihara, who is the favorite actress of series producer, Hisashi Koinuma. This also explains Naotora's constant appearances in other Koei-Tecmo games and crossovers particularly in Dead or Alive 5: Last Round as a Guest Fighter, Warriors All-Stars as the female representative of her home game and Warriors Orochi 4 as one of the eight characters who get a deified form. | |

Community: Dan Harmon has gone on record saying that he based Jeff Winger's ability to talk himself out of (or into) anything on his own silver tongued status. As the series progressed, he found out more about austism spectrum disorder while writing the character Abed (and from fans writing in), thought he might have a lot of these traits, too, and was ultimately diagnosed as being on the spectrum. Is it a coincidence that the series shifts focus from Jeff as the main character to the full ensemble, and that Abed becomes a prominent character whose talents border on godhood? | |

The King of Fighters: SNK have flat-out admitted that Rugal Bernstein of The King of Fighters '94 is their favorite character, deliberately designing him to be the most badass boss character there could be and making him the Final Boss of the non-canon Dream Match Games '98 and 2002 as well as bringing him Back from the Dead for KOF XV. Normally, this would be annoying if it weren't for the fact that he managed to literally beat his way into the hearts of players the world over and becoming one of SNK's most iconic characters. Speaking of KOF XV, its creative director Eisuke Ogura has admitted that he considers K9999 to be his favorite character and that he wanted to bring him back ever since his last appearance in vanilla 2002, which took some serious guts considering that everyone else at SNK hated the character for being a complete Captain Ersatz of Tetsuo Shima to the point that they acted as though K9999 never existed. But considering that Ogura had complete control over XV's roster, nothing was stopping him from redesigning K9999 into Krohnen. |

Dragon Ball: From Dragon Ball Z, Akira Toriyama admitted that Mr. Satan was one of his favorite characters and he gets a lot of screentime in the Majin Buu Arc. However, he's very popular (especially in the Japanese fandom, he's more of a Base-Breaking Character in the west). He even once said that if he would ever make another manga, it would focus on him. According to Toriyama, this has shifted through the years starting with Goku, Krillin, Tenshinhan, and finally settling on Piccolo as his overall favorite character. Later on, Toriyama has stated that out of all the characters he had created, his favorite was Jaco, his most recent creation who at that point had been worked into the revival of Dragon Ball in addition to his own series. Toshio Yoshitaka, one of the Dragon Ball Super anime writers, has stated to have fallen in love with both Caulifla and Kale, the Saiyan women of Universe 6. In an interview with Salón del Manga, Hiroyuki Sakurada, the producer for Dragon Ball Super, admitted to liking Android 17 a lot and feeling he didn't have many fights to show his potential, resulting in 17 receiving a lot of focus in the arc, having his newfound power hyped by Goku and the participants/spectators in the tournament at every opportunity, getting to eliminate a bulk of U2 fighters and U4, playing a big part on the defeat of Anilaza and Toppo, and culminating in him winning the entire tournament and making the wish that saved all of the Dragon Ball multiverse. It is thought that the God of Destruction Liquiir is a personal favorite of the creative staff, as he is a rather minor character yet he receives a lot of focus from both the anime and manga. The fans don't mind. |

The director of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Seiji Mizushima, stated that his favorite character was Nena Trinity, largely because he worked with her CV, Rie Kugimiya, on Fullmetal Alchemist. Although Nena's role in the series was largely unimportant and her fate was anticlimatic, she was a popular character in the series in Japan. Of course, in the West, to this day it's still a push between people who think she's cool and those who look at her as an evil bitch. | |

Final Fantasy VII: The dev team was very fond of Cloud Strife, with Yoshinori Kitase, Kazushige Nojima and Tetsuya Nomura all calling him their favourite, and they occasionally engage in (affectionate) Armed with Canon about their personal interpretations of the character. Nojima even went so far as to rewrite Cloud's backstory while concealing it from the rest of the team, which only found out about Cloud's presence in Nibelheim and the involvement of Zack during playtesting. Nojima's On A Way To A Smile: Case of Tifa acts as a slight Fix Fic of Cloud's characterisation as it is portrayed in Nomura's Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, explaining his attempts to deal with his health and mental problems. Jun Akiyama was very attached to Yuffie. Most of Yuffie's dialogue was written by him alone, and it's consistently witty and attentive to her character in a way that several of the mandatory party members don't even get. In particular, she's often allowed to upstage the other party members by stating a contrary point of view (like telling Cloud not to help someone, or refusing to empathize with sympathetic characters), where other party members will simply feed Cloud the same line translated for their character's manner of speaking. She gets a date scene with Cloud (and is the only potential date who gets to kiss him, upstaging Cloud's 'serious' love interests), shows up to tag along with Barret during his and Tifa's escape in Junon, and gets her own elaborate sidequest. Later, when Akiyama became the main writer of Kingdom Hearts, he made sure that Yuffie was included in it in place of the originally planned Rikku. Not bad for a character who was almost entirely cut. Event planner Motoru Toriyama said his favourite character in VII was Aerith, as he was assigned to most of the early scenes featuring her and told to really make sure the player adored her as much as possible. Therefore, he wrote her as a bright, playful flirt in accordance with his own tastes. For Final Fantasy VII Remake, Nomura said his favourite 'this time around' was Barret, signalling that they were going to Retool a character who had always been very important in the original but never very popular. |

X-Men: First Class: Matthew Vaughn has made it very clear in interviews that Magneto is his favourite X-Men character, and he even dismissed Professor X as being sanctimonious and boring. As a consequence, Erik is the main protagonist in First Class despite the film being heavily advertised as containing two lead characters of equal importance. If Vaughn had remained as the director for the sequel, Magneto would once again be the central figure. However, he dropped out and was replaced by an Xavier fanboy (see the next entry). | |

In fact when it was confirmed that the film was a hit, Gunn put a heartfelt thank you letter online and specifically thanks everyone for letting a raccoon make them a little more human. Vin Diesel loved his character, Groot, so much that he would go to promotions and premieres wearing the stilts he wore for the movie and a shirt proclaiming "I Am Groot." |

On a similar note, Jessica Jones is easily another one of his top favourites, as after her series was shelved for being too mature for Marvel to keep publishing, he quickly repackaged her into a less-mature book to keep using her. Thanks to marrying Luke, she then became heavily tied with Bendis' Avengers work, helping Luke co-lead it at times. And before this, she too would make regular appearances in Bendis' Daredevil work when she became the character's bodyguard briefly, and years later would be revisited by Bendis when the character's Netflix series brought her into prominence. Her prominence mostly stood out as Bendis was the only writer to use her substantially until he left Marvel, outside of small guest roles, and yet managed to be one of the most prominent characters in the 2000s due to just how much influence Bendis had on the company's output at the time. | |

For Persona 3, according to character artist Shigenori Soejima, Mitsuru Kirijo was the most popular character among the development staff, while he himself likes Akihiko Sanada. Their popularity among the staff, along with Aigis' popularity among fans, is likely why they appeared in Persona 4: Arena, whereas the rest of the P3 characters didn't appear until its sequel. | |

The series director of A Certain Scientific Railgun, Tatsuyuki Nagai, is a huge fan of the characters of Saten and Uiharu. However, in the manga, they don't get very much screentime, so for the adaptation he had their roles greatly expanded upon, adding them into arcs they originally weren't in, and even had entire non-canon arcs of the series made just to further show them off. However, this resulted in a fair amount of backlash, not so much at their characters, as the extra arcs diluted the manga's otherwise dark and tragic nature. | |

In AAA, Sexy Star was a favorite of promoter Dorian Roldan. She was generally billed as the top woman in AAA's women's division. This isn't to say she was bad enough in the ring or disliked enough by fans to be a full on Creator's Pet, but backstage, she was known as the "female Hulk Hogan of Mexico" for her politicking. Things hit the fan though when Star left wrestling to become a boxer — and then came back a few months later. AAA stripped then-champion Taya Valkyrie of the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship on a technicality, and within short order Star was champion again. This lead to a major increase in the intensity of her unpopularity backstage. Then — and take the following with a grain of salt as it's never been proven — Star got into a real fight backstage with a friend of Taya's, Lady Shani, and despite having been a professional boxer briefly, lost the fight handily. It is then believed that wounded dignity from the lost fight is why Star infamously applied a shoot armbar to and injured Rosemary. And Dorian Roldan initially refused to take any action at all against Star, making comments implying that he thought it was nobody's business how he managed backstage discipline. However, when AAA's sponsors threatened to pull out if nothing was done, Roldan caved and fired Star. | |

The Nostalgia Critic: When pressed on their favorite sketch characters to play, Tamara usually goes for Hyper Fangirl (being her most prominent and fleshed-out character) and Doug usually says Devil Boner for the Large Ham fun of performing him (though it's reportedly gotten harder to do his voice with age). Both Tamara and Doug have also said that they really love acting and writing Abusive Parents Aunt Despair and Uncle Lies. In terms of parody characters, Tamara was most delighted at playing Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road, Rey in The Force Awakens and Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and squeed about the costumes for a while. |

Pro Wrestling NOAH, looking for someone to succeed Mitsuharu Misawa as the company Ace ended up selecting Naomichi Marufuji. And the fans weren't having it. Marufuji was well liked as an upper midcarder and an underdog challenger, but the NOAH fans just didn't see him as Ace material. The fact that Marufuji was a Junior Heavyweight had a lot to do with it. | |

This situation is a frequent problem that occurs over at Big Finish Doctor Who where the creators of Doctor Who audio enjoy working with a particular actor/actress too much. In particular we're describing Sophie Aldred (Ace, 7th Doctor), India Fisher (Charley, 6th and 8th Doctors) and Philip Olivier (Hex, 7th Doctor). So they keep using and re-using their characters long past their ability to generate decent stories. The result? A character that everybody remembers for sticking around too long, characters that would have had a much more memorable run if they'd gone out on a high, and left people wanting more. Tracey Childs (Klein, 7th Doctor) is another character which is reeling due to not knowing when to quit. There have been at least three points where her story could have come to a natural end (Nazi, tragic villain, companion, and now Tyke-Bomb). Big Finish just enjoys working with Childs, but that isn't a strong reason in storytelling terms. Ironically, Klein was brought in as a companion because fans were tired of the Seven-Hex-Ace team. The favourite monster of Nicholas Briggs, the Big Finish Doctor Who director and producer, is the Daleks, and it shows. Most of the stories he writes have something to do with Daleks, he plays all of the Daleks, he plays the Daleks in the revival series, he even played the Daleks in the DVD re-release of the Third Doctor story "Day of the Daleks", he does the Big Finish podcasts with his ring modulator at the ready slipping in and out of his Dalek voice, the first story he wrote for Tom Baker's much-hyped return was an attempt to give him a Dalek story with no Davros in it, the big event series Dark Eyes is all about Daleks, any event story he writes is all about Daleks... On the bright side, he is very, very, very good at it. |

Ed Boon's favorite Mortal Kombat character is Scorpion. Not only has he appears in practically every Mortal Kombat game (except vanilla Mortal Kombat 3, through he's later added in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 due to fan demand), but he now serves as the mascot of NetherRealm Studios. There's a bit of personal connection here as Boon himself lends his voice for Scorpion's signature catchphrase, "GET OVER/COME HERE!". This is lampshaded in pre-release displays for Mortal Kombat 11, where the variant shown off is literally named "Boon's Main". | |

X-Men Film Series: X-Men: First Class: Matthew Vaughn has made it very clear in interviews that Magneto is his favourite X-Men character, and he even dismissed Professor X as being sanctimonious and boring. As a consequence, Erik is the main protagonist in First Class despite the film being heavily advertised as containing two lead characters of equal importance. If Vaughn had remained as the director for the sequel, Magneto would once again be the central figure. However, he dropped out and was replaced by an Xavier fanboy (see the next entry). X-Men: Days of Future Past: Bryan Singer has admitted at both the SDCC panel and the "X-Men Unguarded" group discussion on The Rogue Cut Blu-Ray/DVD that Professor X is his favourite X-Men character (he even got a Cerebro helmet tattoo with Patrick Stewart providing him moral support after this movie broke the $700 million mark), and this is why Singer gave the spotlight to the younger Charles. Singer even has a second favorite: Nightcrawler. He's been trying to find some way to bring the blue elf back since X2: X-Men United all the way back in 2003. He finally succeeded over a dozen years later in X-Men: Apocalypse. In 2013, Hugh Jackman named Wolverine as his favourite role: "He's eternally fascinating to me. He's incredibly human, and a great sort of Anti-Hero and tragic figure." |

Dynasty Warriors series producer, Akihiro Suzuki, admitted that Xiahou Dun is his favorite character because he admires his stoicism and being dutiful. This explains his increased screentime in the later games particularly in the Battle of Fan Castle where he faces his rival, Guan Yu, despite that they never had a rivalry together in history and in the novel. | |

Shining Time Station: George Carlin considered the series a highlight in his career. He'd gotten tired of being only known for his caustic comedy and appreciated the opportunity to show off his gentler side, especially on a show that taught complex moral lessons to children without talking down to them. He never tired to meeting young fans who ran up to him to meet Mr. Conductor and got a huge kick out of seeing them grow up and come to his stand-up shows to "complete their education". | |

Dan Povenmire, co-creator of Phineas and Ferb, has done his share of voice work but makes no secret of the special place he has in his heart for Dr. Doofenshmirtz, to the point of writing him into his and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh's follow-up series Milo Murphy's Law. He has done many TikTok videos in-character, often while dressed in a lab coat, and even played Doofenshmirtz in a live-action fan remake of "Busted." Since the character is a huge fan favorite and loved by the network as well (even getting his own web series, Doofenshmirtz's Daily Dirt), everyone benefits from this. | |

In her A Tale of... novellas, Serena Valentino really loves the Odd Sisters, to the point where she's said, "These stories are heavily influenced by The Odd Sisters, and they have quite taken on a life of their own, and I find they are very frequently directing the plot." This would explain why they go from being secondary characters in the first story to being occasional POV characters who are directly responsible for most of the plot points in the second story. | |

Savio Vega, in the mid 90s. A big name in the Puerto Rico wrestling scene, he was moderately talented and hired by WWE, where he was moderately over. He was teamed up with Razor Ramon. He was pushed hard as an underdog contender in the excreable King of the Ring 95. And he was a constant television presence during the early days of Monday Night Raw. Savio never connected with fans the way the bookers hoped he would, but not for their lack of trying. | |

Final Fantasy VI: Yoshinori Kitase regards Celes as his favorite character. Kaori Tanaka, a character designer also wrote all of Edgar and Sabin's dialogue. She imagined backstories for them more complicated than what we see in the game, explaining about their parents, the culture of Figaro, etc., and even published a doujinshi exploring their family background called A Marriage of Figaro. Japanese fans regard her as the Figaros' Real Daddy. She asked in interviews for fans to send her fanart of the brothers. |

Persona: Surprisingly, it's not one of Persona 2's staff members who has admitted that their favorite character was Lisa Silverman, but Takehito Koyasu, who was the voice actor for the game's male lead Tatsuya Suou. For Persona 3, according to character artist Shigenori Soejima, Mitsuru Kirijo was the most popular character among the development staff, while he himself likes Akihiko Sanada. Their popularity among the staff, along with Aigis' popularity among fans, is likely why they appeared in Persona 4: Arena, whereas the rest of the P3 characters didn't appear until its sequel. |

In fandom, Fukawa used to one of the less popular characters in the first game, though she's seen a very considerable rise in popularity since she was promoted to main character in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls.

When Catalyst Game Labs was doing the design work for its new line of BattleTech miniatures in 2020, the vast majority of their designs depicted the "standard" or Prime variant for a given 'Mech. The one exception is the Banshee: rather than depicting the standard BNC-3E model, the Banshee miniature instead matches the up-gunned 3S or 5S variant. In part, this is because one of the designers has a particular fondness for the 3S. However, since the standard Banshee is regarded both in-universe and out as a Low-Tier Letdown thanks to the utterly pathetic level of firepower it packs for its tonnage, this also means that the Banshee miniature represents a 'Mech that players will actually want to use, rather than being a waste of plastic and money. | |

Beyond all of these, however, is Thanos, who is somewhat like Adam Warlock in being a cosmic-tier character of the type that Starlin preferred, with one very important difference — Starlin did create Thanos, and so favored him above all others. How much did he favor Thanos? Enough to demote the aforementioned Warlock into Thanos's emo sidekick during the '90s, as well as to come up with the The Infinity Gauntlet storyline which basically boils down to "Thanos lords it over the ENTIRE REST OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE, and is not even defeated by any hero or combination of heroes but instead by his own hubris". Indeed, Starlin's love of Thanos ran so deep that when he eventually crossed over to write for DC, he reinvented the obscure Hawkman/Captain Comet villain Onimarr Synn into a very thin Expy of Thanos. | |

Kitty, meanwhile, ended up becoming the primary love interest of Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man for a while. And when they broke up, he had her permanently transplant into his supporting cast, while fully admitting he had a massive crush on her since he was a teenager. When Bendis began writing X-Men, he naturally brought Kitty to the forefront, having her lead the time-displaced original X-Men, then transport with them to join 'his' side of the X-Men during a time where the franchise was split between Wolverine and Cyclops' factions (Bendis was writing Cyclops' side), taking her out of the other X-Men books so that he basically had full control over her. At the time, he was also writing Guardians of the Galaxy, and so he had Kitty get together with Star-Lord so he could bring her into that book, too. Of course, Kitty is a fan-favourite, so how bad this was is debatable, especially as he still paid focus to other characters while writing. | |

Several of the people behind Age of Wonders, including Djurre van Dijk himself, have named the Halflings as their favorite race, and Ham the Wanderer in particular as their favorite character. Ham's favoritism shows most in the Wonderpedia for Age of Wonders 3, where a LOT of the flavor text snippets for various units are attributed to him. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire's author George R. R. Martin has freely admitted on several occasions that Tyrion Lannister is his favorite character, and he's one of the more popular characters with the fandom (especially in the television series). However, he's also stated that not even he's safe. He's gone on to say that second place goes to Arya Stark - and perhaps more importantly, she's also GRRM's wife's favourite character, to the point she's threatened to leave him if he kills Arya off. Fans have been watching nervously for any news of their marriage ever since. |

Pokémon: Series creator Satoshi Tajiri's favorite Pokémon are Poliwag and Poliwhirl. Series producer and director Junichi Masuda has stated that his six favorite Pokémon are Pichu, Victini, Alolan Exeggutor, Sylveon, Torchic, and especially Psyduck, even wanting the water fowl to have Eevee's spot in Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. As an extension of that, his favorite Pokémon type is Water, and his favorite attack is Surf. Series artist Ken Sugimori's favorite Pokémon is Gengar due to its simple design. Atsushi Nagashima, the director behind the Pokémon Trading Card Game, has mentioned both Gengar and Darkrai as some of his favorites... and shamelessly names himself as the main reason the two get way more cards than most. Character designer James Turner's favorite Pokémon in general is Deoxys, while Vanillite is his favorite out of the ones he's personally designed due to it being one of his first. |

Katsuhiro Harada, the lead developer at the helm of the Tekken series names his favorite character as series regular Heihachi Mishima. Nothing's really come of the preferential treatment aside from Heihachi's appearance in every Tekken installment, though (this is in spite of the fact that he canonically did not even participate in the fifth tournament). However, it didn't stop him from having Heihachi Killed Off for Real in 7, since the game has been billed as the final chapter of the Mishima family, so it was quite surprising that Harada chose Heihachi to bite the dust, but not after he had the most story appearances throughout 7. | |

Paradoxus (Winx Club, World of Warcraft): Since it has Loads And Loads Of Authors (for fanfic standards, at least), each author has her own favorite character. Phoenix Daybreak and Popsicle are the "literary mothers"note the ones in charge of the development of a given character because it's their favorite of respectively Trisha and Altalune. Bloom_Farella's favorite character is one of the canonical ones: Bloom. Crowgirl doesn't favor anyone over the others and, instead, likes various characters for different reasons — Stacy because of her maturity in spite of her rather fragile mental health; Morrigan for her resilience in the face of the horrific memories from her past life; Harmony because she depicts the always relatable envy towards what other people have; Joan for her status as a wicked fairy who contradicts the canonical paradigm of the sweet, good fairy; and Trisha as well, but only her post-Face–Heel Turn version. The official illustrator, Silvstardust, has stated that she loves Trisha. |

Final Fantasy: Hironobu Sakaguchi's reason for continually reprising the character of Cid was that he had a particular affection for middle-aged Boisterous Bruiser eccentrics. Yoshitaka Amano says that his favourite characters for the series that he's drawn are Terra Branford from Final Fantasy VI, and Kain Highwind from Final Fantasy IV. Final Fantasy VI: Yoshinori Kitase regards Celes as his favorite character. Kaori Tanaka, a character designer also wrote all of Edgar and Sabin's dialogue. She imagined backstories for them more complicated than what we see in the game, explaining about their parents, the culture of Figaro, etc., and even published a doujinshi exploring their family background called A Marriage of Figaro. Japanese fans regard her as the Figaros' Real Daddy. She asked in interviews for fans to send her fanart of the brothers. Final Fantasy VII: The dev team was very fond of Cloud Strife, with Yoshinori Kitase, Kazushige Nojima and Tetsuya Nomura all calling him their favourite, and they occasionally engage in (affectionate) Armed with Canon about their personal interpretations of the character. Nojima even went so far as to rewrite Cloud's backstory while concealing it from the rest of the team, which only found out about Cloud's presence in Nibelheim and the involvement of Zack during playtesting. Nojima's On A Way To A Smile: Case of Tifa acts as a slight Fix Fic of Cloud's characterisation as it is portrayed in Nomura's Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, explaining his attempts to deal with his health and mental problems. Jun Akiyama was very attached to Yuffie. Most of Yuffie's dialogue was written by him alone, and it's consistently witty and attentive to her character in a way that several of the mandatory party members don't even get. In particular, she's often allowed to upstage the other party members by stating a contrary point of view (like telling Cloud not to help someone, or refusing to empathize with sympathetic characters), where other party members will simply feed Cloud the same line translated for their character's manner of speaking. She gets a date scene with Cloud (and is the only potential date who gets to kiss him, upstaging Cloud's 'serious' love interests), shows up to tag along with Barret during his and Tifa's escape in Junon, and gets her own elaborate sidequest. Later, when Akiyama became the main writer of Kingdom Hearts, he made sure that Yuffie was included in it in place of the originally planned Rikku. Not bad for a character who was almost entirely cut. Event planner Motoru Toriyama said his favourite character in VII was Aerith, as he was assigned to most of the early scenes featuring her and told to really make sure the player adored her as much as possible. Therefore, he wrote her as a bright, playful flirt in accordance with his own tastes. For Final Fantasy VII Remake, Nomura said his favourite 'this time around' was Barret, signalling that they were going to Retool a character who had always been very important in the original but never very popular. Final Fantasy XIII: Tetsuya Nomura has said that his favourite design he's ever done is Lightning, which he feels fits the character so perfectly he's never wanted to tweak it. Final Fantasy Brave Exvius: In the artbooks the series producer Kei Hirono says his favorite character is Dark Fina, while the main scenario writer Yukinori Kitajima prefers the amnesiac Fina. |

Tomonobu Itagaki has gone on record to say, several times, Kasumi from the Dead or Alive series is his daughter, while showing no personal or close concern from any other character he has created or directed during his days at Team Ninja / Koei-Tecmo. The man was very protective of Kasumi too, openly admitting she would never appear in Ninja Gaiden, claiming Kasumi was too pure and wasn’t the type to engage in the same bloody works as Ryu Haybusa, allowing her less morally inclined (and almost as popular) sister Ayane to appear instead. Long after Itagaki had left Team Ninja, Kasumi started making cameos in Ninja Gaiden, becoming fully playable in Ninja Gaiden III and soaking herself in blood as much as Ryu and Ayane. | |

At the same time, he also lamented her lack of personality in the show, hence he works to give her a more rounded personality in the comics. |

The former ended up being heavily involved in much of Bendis' street-level character work (particularly Jessica Jones and Daredevil, the former of whom ended up marrying Luke Cage and having his baby under Bendis' pen), and became a prominent character in his work on the New Avengers, eventually leading the team. This is generally a case of Tropes Are Not Bad, though, as the end result was Luke got modernised and developed extensively past his previous blaxploitation characterisation, and Bendis was able to reign it in enough to have Luke retire and leave the Avengers. | |

Doctor Who: Jon Pertwee's favourite monster was the Draconians, due to their visual effects. It's possible to notice him stepping up his performance in the scenes where he's acting against them in "Frontier in Space". His least favourite monsters were the Daleks, because any emotion they could express was created in the edit and there was nothing to play off as an actor, and during "Planet of the Daleks" and "Death to the Daleks" his performance is clearly bored. Writer Robert Holmes' favourite Doctor was the Fourth, the one he was most involved in creating. He had the Fourth Doctor mention that he preferred himself to the last one in "The Brain of Morbius", and admitted when he wrote Peter Davison's final story "The Caves of Androzani" with him as the Fourth Doctor. He also wangled a way of giving the Fourth Doctor a gratuitous cameo (by means of the Doctor temporarily regressing mentally) in his Sixth Doctor story, "The Mysterious Planet". Tom Baker liked any and all 'slithering', body-horror-themed monsters like the Wirrn and the Krynoid. His favourite companions were Sarah Jane and Romana II. Unfortunately, he's better known for his dislike of the companions he hated (Leela and K-9). Eric Saward's favourite monster was the Cybermen, an affection that some fans (and Terrance Dicks) found crossed into Hijacked by Ganon at times. Dicks's famous Writer Revolt was when he had a very cheap monster, a robot played by a ballet dancer in a morphsuit, slaughter a whole platoon of Cybermen in a gratuitous Curb-Stomp Battle in "The Five Doctors", just to make Saward cross. David Tennant, a Promoted Fanboy, has often stated that Peter Davison was 'his' Doctor. "Time Crash", the Comic Relief special, involves the Tenth Doctor meeting the Fifth Doctor and is basically a paper-thin allegory for this. His favourite monster was the Zygons, which he never got to fight in his tenure itself - so the featuring of Zygons in "The Day of the Doctor" was written as Steven Moffat's present to him. Patrick Troughton has been the favourite Doctor of perhaps the most succeeding portrayers - Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Matt Smith (arguably also Tom Baker, who despite not being a fan had seen some Troughton episodes and admired the performance a great deal). Davison even stated that after meeting Troughton incidentally and discussing things, he took the advice to leave after 3 seasons to avoid wearing himself out on the show; and Smith ultimately inspired his final costume design off the Second Doctor's (especially the bowtie) after seeing "The Tomb of the Cybermen". |

Most Ring of Honor bookers, from Gabe Sapolsky, to Adam Pearce, to Delirious had an unapologetic love for Samoa Joe. Initially ignored when Rob Feinstein scouted All Pro Wrestling's King Of Indies events and only hired for a one off appearance, the positive crowd reaction he got made Sapolsky decide to keep him and gradually build Joe up as the face of the company. Every booker who gets to use Joe seems to have the same mentality, as he is used for the purpose of creating new stars sparingly, despite a semi-willingness to do the job, and rarely puts anyone over on the way out. His legendary matches with Low Ki, CM Punk and Kenta Kobashi probably don't hurt. He'd have been the face of the company no doubt if not for that other company's investment in him. | |

In Saint Seiya Omega, Aquila Yuna was the favorite character of the director and the main screenwriter, and it showed: her episodes and stock footage were usually much better drawn and animated than the other characters', and she became a huge Spotlight-Stealing Squad in the Sanctuary Arc, taking over Souma, Ryuho and Haruto's roles as The Lancer, The Heart and The Smart Guy. She was still popular with fans because she was a nice and reliable girl, people liked seeing the token female character getting a prominent role in a battle Shōnen, or they just found her hot. When the writer and director were replaced in the second season, the new staff wasn't nearly as fond of Yuna and she was Demoted to Extra. | |

A peak modern example would be Baron Corbin. He hasn't been pushed hard enough to quite be a creator's pet, but he's always on television, always has a major role in some kind of storyline or other. He's not very good in the ring and isn't over. He gets tons of focus. When he couldn't get over as a monster heel, he was made into the Smackdown General Manager. He was Kurt Angle's opponent in his final match — and he won. He still isn't really over, and has never had a good match. | |

Nasuverse According to Fate/side material, Sakura Matou is Type Moon's favorite heroine. Takashi Takeuchi, the lead artist for Type-Moon, has openly expressed that he is an enormous fan of Saber from Fate/stay night, and was one of the largest driving forces in the creation of Last Episode (a happy and satisfying conclusion to the otherwise Bittersweet Ending of the Fate route), just so that she could canonically have a happy ending with Shirou. It's gotten to the point that even he jokes at his inability to not insert an Expy into every work in the franchise. With the release of Fate/Grand Order, Takeuchi has expressed a lot of love for Sakata Kintoki. |

It's very telling in the Mega Man X series that creator Keiji Inafune favors Zero over any other character, as Zero becomes increasingly prominent in the series and is consistently hailed by friend and foe alike as the greatest Maverick Hunter of them all, to the point he outright supplants X as the star by the time the Mega Man Zero series lands. Thankfully he doesn't fall into the dreaded Creator's Pet category as Zero is very popular and liked by fans as well. Inafune's preference is because this was the first protagonist Inafune got to design and Zero was intended to be X until it was realized the design was too drastic a change: | |

From Dragon Ball Z, Akira Toriyama admitted that Mr. Satan was one of his favorite characters and he gets a lot of screentime in the Majin Buu Arc. However, he's very popular (especially in the Japanese fandom, he's more of a Base-Breaking Character in the west). He even once said that if he would ever make another manga, it would focus on him. According to Toriyama, this has shifted through the years starting with Goku, Krillin, Tenshinhan, and finally settling on Piccolo as his overall favorite character. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Originally, series director Tetsuya Nomura said his favorite character was naturally Sora, the protagonist. But as time passed and the series became more of a Villain-Based Franchise, he changed his mind and said that his favorite was Xehanort, the Big Bad, particularly his original "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness" incarnation from the first game. Nomura's favorite member of the Organization is Luxord. Oddly enough, he's the member of the Organization with the least amount of screen time. Axel, a major, but not too big a figure in Chain of Memories, has been stated to have been a favorite among the Kingdom Hearts development team, and even Nomura has admitted to having a fondness for him. This, combined with his fandom popularity is what ended up giving him a much greater role in future installments. |

Simon Furman, writer for a great number of Transformers comics, has a couple favorites: Grimlock. By his pen, Grimlock is a cunning warrior who uses Hulk Speak to make his enemies underestimate him, while the TV series simply had him be too dumb to string a sentence together. Nightbeat, a C-list character whom Furman brought to the forefront by making him a Film Noir-style Hardboiled Detective. In the current IDW-universe that Furman created, he killed Nightbeat off so fans knew that Anyone Can Die, even his own favorite character. He did something similar in the G2 comics, killing off Nightbeat as a self-inflicted Player Punch. Galvatron. Give Simon Furman a chance to writer Transformers, and sooner or later, the big G will turn up, and lots of character death tends to follow. In the original Generation One comics, there were no less that three different versions of the guy by the end of the series (in the UK version at least. The US only had to deal with one). Bludgeon and Thunderwing, whenever he needs a badass Decepticon leader. Bludgeon tends to get more use, though. |
