Every character had his own temper and I like them all, I have laughed my head off at all of them, but I guess I can point as a favourite Tomo Takino. :D She was so energetical and effusive and always competitive and with longing for everything.. I guess she was the character who I was comparing to and she always made me think about myself and wouldn't I do the same in the situation. x) You know, when she alarmed about the cockroach in one of the episodes and in the end, after causing such a mess in the class, she suddenly smashed it with no uneasiness. Haha, that is one of my favourite moments, I don't know why.
I like Ayuma Kasuga as well, because of her dream of Chiyo in one of the episodes, it just made me laugh so hard, it almost blew my head. :D She was so funny when she was interrogated by Tomo and in the end was named Osaka, despite the fact she was so slow and everything and oh, she was funny and lovable, because of this sluggishness of hers. :) The other who I enjoyed much was Sakaki - thinking about cats all the time? Jeez... :D

He was so creepy, and perverted. But the fact that he had a wife and was so caring made me like him too. XP

I'm torn between Sakaki and Osaka. Sakaki's just a big softy at heart and Osaka, well, she thinks so far outside the box she doesn't even know where the box is. A combination of the two would be perfect! Osaki...

I doubt I need to say who, because if you know how to read, then you already know.

As for why, she's just epic in general. She's a baka, yet a genius, has an empty head, yet is always daydreaming and imagining creative things, and is always funny. She doesn't have a single line that isn't luzly, and her manner of speech just makes it that much better.

In conclusion, Osaka FTW.

And of course Kimura deserves a mention. Best kind hearted pervert in an anime, ever.

every character in azumanga is just classic, but i'd have to hand it to Osaka. one that i think is overlooked is Kaorin, some of the absolute funniest moments was because of her obsessive behaviour.

My favorite Kaorin moment off the top of my head is during the 1st year sports fest, when Chiyo's worried about her class losing because of her, and Sakaki puts a hand on her head. "Don't worry," she says, "leave it to me." And then she walks away, Chiyo watching her. Cue Kaorin startling Chiyo with an adoring "Wooooooow..." :D

Another favorite is right after her mother wonders what kind of New Year's dream she had. "...Dream?" We look her right in her cute face, bed hair going everywhere. :)

Last one for now, I promise... Kaorin tells Chihiro (who she just let fall on the floor by letting go of the table) what Sakaki is designing. In the Japanese, the vocal mimicking was perfect, not quite so much in the dub.

FFFFF I cant really choose a favorite out of the AzuDai cast! x)

But I can say things I love about each of them! ;D
Tomo is so energetic and never seems to think before acting, she acts a lot like me! XD
Sakaki is quiet, but she loves animals, and shes such a softy despite her 'cool' appearances.
Yomi is such a smartass and she likes to be so sarcastic! Shes hilarious~
Kagura can be smart (when she wants to) but her dumbfounded personality makes her so loveable! And who doesnt love the athletic type? ;D
Chiyo-chan is too adorable and most of the time shes slow and has no idea whats going on. xD
Yukari and Nyamo are both such dimwit teachers! xD They remind me a lot of two of my teachers (who were also friends & enemies) so they crack me up so much! XD
Kimura even deserves a spot. Hes such a perverted freak at school... but once his fetish has left his eyes, hes such a kind hearted and calmer guy. :3
Kaorin has a hilarious obsession for Sakaki, everytime she starts daydreaming I have to laugh and laugh because shes such a dimwit! xD
And last but most certainly not least, we have Ayumu Kasuga aka Osaka. I cant even tell you how much I laugh at her slowness. Her daydreams and random thoughts never fail to crack me up. xD And Osaka reminds me a little of myself and my randomness and inability to get things right away and my horrible jokes. FFFFF

So yeah I cant choose a favorite, I love everyone in this entire show!! XD <3

AzuDai FTMFW!! <33
HAPPY MARIA!

The characters are the best part of the show =)!

1) Osaka, She likes to do things at her own pace, which is slower than most people's unfortuneately, but she is always determined to do what she has set her mind to.

2) Yukari Sensei (English/Homeroom teacher), Everyone should have a teacher like this, I think the only reason she's a teacher is because she wants to be better than Nyamo at it, also her driving is hilarious.

3) Tomo, highly energetic and doesn't seem to be bothered when her even when she doesn't win like she always expects to (or she just makes up an excuse as to why she lost)

4) Chiyo, similar to Osaka in that she doesn't understand her peers sometimes, and how she shows optimism and enthusiasm even in the bleakest of scenarios.

Honorable mentions:
Chiyo's dad, no explanation needed
Sakaki she gets a cat yay!
Kimura, is at least honest, is funny with everything he does.

her spacey, ineptness and lack of an IQ makes her one of the funniest and most entertaining anime characters yet.

Osaka. Definitely. She's the most hilarious character I've ever seen, only second to Nichijou's Yukko.
