Results Of The Favorite Sora Poll

I added an Opinion Stage poll to this post where I talked about two characters from two different series who happened to have the same name. The name in question was "Sora," which means "sky" in Japanese. And the series in question are Kingdom Hearts and Digimon.

Digimon is a Japanese media franchise which includes anime, manga, video games, and more. The series is about creatures known as Digital Monsters. They live in the Digital World. Characters known as the Digidestined are tasked to raised these beings. Sora Takenouchi (#ad) is one of these people. Her Digimon is named Biyomon.

On the other hand, Kingdom Hearts is a series of role-playing video games for various platforms such as PlayStation 1 to 4, Xbox 1, and more. Sora (#ad) is the name of the main character of this series. After losing his world, he travels to many different and other worlds where he gets to meet all sorts of people and have all sorts of adventures.

Anyway, for reasons which I'll talk about in another post on another one of my blogs, I decided to delete the Opinion Stage poll and replace it with one from SurveyMonkey instead.

The post in question had been previously published elsewhere before being posted on this blog. The poll was made on 24 November 2014.

On my dashboard on the Opinion Stage site, the statistics page for this poll looks like this:

This is the new favorite Sora poll from SurveyMonkey:

Sora (Kingdom Hearts) Versus Takenouchi (Digimon Series)

Kingdom Hearts is a series of action, adventure, and role-playing games for various platforms including PlayStation 1 to 4, Xbox 1, and Nintendo 3DS. The entire series is owned by Disney and is developed and published by Square Enix. Part of the story has the main character traveling to different worlds in search of his friends.

Along the way, he meets many different characters from Disney and the Final Fantasy series. Of course, there's way more to it than that. By now, with so many games having been released, including sequels and prequels, the plot has become much more complicated.

Digimon is an anime, manga and video game series. The Japanese media franchise also includes a trading card game, virtual pet toys and more. It was created by Akiyoshi Hongo, Toei Animation, WiZ, and Bandai. It’s about Digital Monsters who live in the Digital World. These creatures are raised by people known as the Digidestined, and they all work together to protect their universe from evil.

What the 2 series have in common?

One of the things that the 2 aforementioned series have in common is how they each have a character with the same name. The name in question is "Sora" and the characters are Sora Takenouchi from Digimon (particularly Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02) and Sora from Kingdom Hearts. The Japanese name actually means "sky". It’s also interesting to note that the 2 are of different genders even if they share the same first name.

Sora Takenouchi from Digimon

Sora Takenouchi (#ad) is one of the main characters of the Digimon series. Her Digimon partner is known as Biyomon.

She likes playing soccer. She’s a very kind and nice person who can also be considered to be motherly and kind-hearted as she is always looking out for her friends and loved ones.

Sora from Kingdom Hearts

Sora (#ad) is the main character from the Kingdom Hearts series. It’s interesting to note that he doesn’t actually have a last name, just like Toya from the Ayashi No Ceres anime and manga series by Yuu Watase.

He’s the wielder of the totally awesome and famous Keyblade. He is a cheerful and fun person who’s wont to smile and laugh. He exudes a happy personality and can even be a bit naïve at times, appearing innocent.
