A calendar that shows its work.

How these dates were checked

Every row names one source. Most come from publisher character pages: one-piece.com and bleach-anime.com print a birthday in each character profile, so the date can be read on the same page the row links to.

The import copies two things only — the name as printed and the birthday — and keeps the page URL with the row. Because both sites are Japanese, each printed name is matched by hand to the spelling used in English releases. A character is left out when the publisher prints no date, when the name has no settled English form, or when the entry is an animal or a sight gag rather than a character. Fifty-one entries on those two sites failed one of those tests.

Eight rows carry a date stated somewhere the two imports do not reach: an official anime-news page, an official guidebook, or a publisher article. They are marked with the red edge and named in the table, and three of them have no link because the date only exists in print.

Coverage follows the publishers, not the medium. Most franchises never print a birthday at all, and several that do publish it only in a guidebook. That is why this list is smaller than a fan wiki: the ceiling is not how many characters exist, but how many dates a publisher has actually written down where we can point to it.

Cite this calendar

If you are writing about a date you found here, link the page and name it. That is all we ask, and it is what the terms already say about quoting.

Corrections

Found a date that is wrong, or a source that is stronger than the one we used? Send it with a link and we will check it. Corrections get a line in the table’s source notes when they change something substantive.

Missing a character? Send the name, series, date, and a source that states it. We add a row only when we can cite one, so a link to a franchise page, a volume, or a publisher profile is the fastest route.
