comment
A flower native to Central America, the sunflower holds a powerful cultural image. Being a beautiful and colorful flower that needs lots of sunlight to be at its brightest, it symbolizes energy and happiness. An endless field of sunflowers is quite a breathtaking view to hold, and gives a heartwarming feeling. Sunflower seeds are also highly nutritious, and thus are attractive to small finch-type birds.
The sunflower blossom was an emblem of the "aesthetic" movement of the 19th century; it came to symbolize connections between the sun, fire, and warmth — both physical and metaphorical. It was a popular motif because its bold color and simple shape could be stylized, much like the chrysanthemum of Japanese art, which had a strong influence on the movement.
In official sources, the sunflower has a meaning of adoration and constancy, since the sunflower always turns towards the sun throughout the day; in common knowledge and fiction, people associated with sunflowers are more often than not seen as cheerful, energetic, and happy-go-lucky people who brighten up everybody and everything else around them.
In a work of fiction that represent characters with a symbolic flower, the sunflower will very likely be attributed to the Genki Girl.

An early arc of Get Backers revolved about the retrieval of a 13th painting of Van Gogh's Sunflowers series that emerged recently and got stolen by Kaitou Clayman. Throughout this arc, the painting gives a powerful and heartwarming impression to all the main characters that see it, with Ginji even saying the following: "I don't know anything about art, but... How to say... When looking at it, I can't take my eyes off it..."

In Harry Potter Luna Lovegood is typically very cheerful and optimistic. She wears a sunflower to a wedding, believing that bright yellow ("sun colors" as she puts it) will be good luck for the bride and groom.

In one of his more deredere moments, Russia from Axis Powers Hetalia mentions that he dreams about living in a warm place surrounded by sunflowers. Naturally, Fanart hardly shows him without them.
Aside from the symbolism of warmth, there may be another possible, more pragmatic explanation for this sunflower motif: sunflower seeds are a very popular food item in Russia.
Interestingly enough, sunflowers are said to be the national flower and one of the chief crops of Ukraine. Make of that what you will.

In Samurai Champloo, Plucky Girl Fuu is looking for "the Samurai who smells of Sunflowers". This samurai actually is Fuu's father, and her only memory of him is a departing figure shifting through a field of sunflowers. In the series, sunflowers seem to be associated with memory, youth, and Christianity.

Himawari!, and its similarly-named main character, both mean "sunflower", and the symbolism of the flower is especially prominent, as Himawari herself is the happy-go-lucky go-getter sort of heroine who wants to save everybody.

The opening of Bamboo Blade begins with a row of sunflowers popping into the screen, the flowers rotating quickly and the last one filing the entire screen used as a frame for the main characters, with team captain Kirino Chiba to start it off. Kirino also owns a somewhat gaudy umbrella with a sunflower pattern.

In MOTHER 3, Lucas associates sunflowers to his beloved mother (they were her favorite flowers, and there is even a patch of them near her grave), causing the flowers to appear many times during the game. This even goes as far as Lucas eventually meeting the ghost of his mother in a field of sunflowers.

In The Adventures of Tintin, the original French name of Professor Calculus is "Professeur Tournesol", tournesol being the French name for sunflower. The pun was not lost, as a Fruit D'Or, a famous French producer of sunflower-based products, most notably sunflower oil, made ads showing Calculus promoting the beneficial effects of said oil for a balanced diet, so much that it makes him fly.

Digimon Savers sort of plays with this trope - Sunflowmon is the Adult form of Yoshino's partner Lalamon, but Yoshino has a crippling inferiority complex which prevents her from fulfilling this trope. She gets over it, but by then, Lalamon has gained access to a stronger evolved form which isn't sunflower-themed.
