Birthday: February 10th
Sign: Aquarius
The tenth most popular villager of 2022 is the cuddly toy bear Stitches - this lazy cup was born in February. Although his species is a bear cub, stitches are designed to resemble a teddy bear which is why he's covered in different color patches. His childlike home is full of toys resembling a playroom perfectly fit for a sweet little teddy to reside in. Stitches' adorable demeanor and very chill laid-back nature definitely make him one of the most cuddly and sweet villagers to look out for, no wonder this plush colorful little bear is in the top 10 most loved villagers for the entire year of 2021!
Top 9 - Judy
Personality: Snooty
Species: Cub
Catchphrase: Myohmy
Birthday: March 10th
Sign: Pisces
In spot No. 9, we have Judy! With the original release of Animal Crossing New Horizons, Judy was first introduced in Animal Crossing and she hasn't appeared in any other title before. One of the reasons she became so popular so quickly, due to her snooty personality Judy enjoys the finer things in life and loves good gossip. Although her species is a bear cub, Judy is one of the most unique villagers in Animal Crossing history because of her eyes that most players fall in love with, just from looking at her, you will notice that her eyes are literally stars that shine so brightly for all to enjoy. Congrats on still making the top 10 of 2022 January, Judy!
Top 8 - Zucker
Personality: Lazy
Species: Octopus
Catchphrase: Bloop
Birthday: March 8th
Sign: Pisces
In spot number eight, jumping all the way to 5130 votes is Zucker, the lazy octopus villager born on March 8th. As we know, octopus villagers are far and few between an animal frosting and Zucker reigns supreme as the most sought after of the bunch. Zucker's appearance is based on a takoyaki treat with his brown hair on the top of his head resembling the takoyaki sauce, and he also has what appears to be a small wooden stick protruding from his head as takoyaki is frequently eaten with toothpicks.
Top 7 - Ankha
Personality: Snooty
Species: Cat
Catchphrase: Me Meow
Birthday: September 10th
Sign: Virgo
In the seventh spot for the 2022 February with 3 875 votes is Ankha, she is a snooty cat villager whose name likely derived from the Ankh which is the Egyptian hieroglyphic character that reads life. Ankha's design alludes to how ancient Egyptians worshiped cats which is no surprise either that her immaculate home interior is themed after a pyramid benefiting her Egyptian styled appearance.
Top 6 - Sherb
Personality: Lazy
Species: Goat
Catchphrase: BAWWWW
Birthday: January 18th
Sign: Capricorn
Spot number six with 5176 votes belongs to Sherb, this lazy cutie was also introduced with Animal Crossing New Horizons. Sherb is a pastel blue goat which is also no surprise that he's a Capricorn born on January 18th. As a lazy villager, Sherb has a very relaxed laid-back lifestyle and often talks about the bugs in his home and of course whenever he's hungry. In fact, his name is said to be inspired by sherbert that tangy fruity ice cream dessert we all know and love, no wonder so many players are adoring the sweet little eyes of Sherb.
Top 5 - Ione
Ione
Personality: Normal
Species: Squirrel
Catchphrase: Gleam
Birthday: September 11th
Sign: Virgo
At the spot No.5 is the first brand new 2.0 villager entering the Top 10 of 2022, his name is Ione. Ione is a squirrel making his first appearance in the Animal Crossing saga. He celebrates his birthday on 11 September. Ione's tail strongly recalls the space, given the blue color studded with many small white dots, which look like stars, and on this characteristic all its design is based, up to the dress she wears, that is a Astro dress (Blue). His cute apparence will surely make him be popular in the game!
Top 4 - Sasha
Personality: Lazy
Species: Rabbit
Catchphrase: HOPPITY
Birthday: May 11th
Sign: Taurus
The second brand new 2.0 villager breaking into the list is Sasha - a rabbit that first appears in the Animal Crossing New Horizons. He celebrates his birthday on May 19th. Sasha's design is truly adorable, based on the huge big eyes that stand out on her face and blonde bangs. In addition, her main color, a teal in pastel tones, further emphasizes this aspect.
Top 3 - Raymond
Personality: Smug
Species: Cat
Catchphrase: CRISP
Birthday: October 11th
Sign: Libra
The runner-up for the entire year of 2021 and starting of 2022 with 6656 votes goes to the smug cat Raymond, who is one of the most popular new villagers introduced with Animal Crossing New Horizons. Raymond has consistently been a villager in our top 10 list every single month in 2021, but that's not the only thing that sets him apart from the crowd, as this kitty is the only villager that has heterochromia which is why he has one eye that is green and one eye that is brown. Since Animal Crossing New Horizons launched two years ago, Raymond has consistently been at the top of many players lists when it comes to villager hunting. For a long time you could not get him with an amiibo card, however, you can now so in the future this list may change.
Top 2 - Marshal
Personality: Smug
Species: Squirrel
Catchphrase: Sulky
Birthday: September 29th
Sign: Libra
Coming in at spot number 2 with 7000+ votes belongs to Marshal. Despite his permanent scowl, Marshal the smug squirrel gets along with just about everyone, he bumps into, just as long as they find him as cool as he finds himself. His name could also allude to the somewhat marshmallow-like appearance he has and his catchphrase sulky could refer to the constant frown he sports on his face. Marshal's home is that of a coffee shop atmosphere and it has a piano ready for the music lover to play in the corner. No wonder, everyone has been seeking out this cutie for all time!
Top 1 - Shino
Personality: Peppy
Species: Deer
Catchphrase: OKAAAY
Birthday: October 31st
Sign: Scorpio
Congrats to Shino for being the number one champion of being the most popular villager in January 2022! Scorpio quickly became the player's favorite with her unique coloring and appearance after the 2.0 update and continued to occupy the top of the most popular list until 2022. It is a deer that first appears in the Animal Crossing saga. He celebrates his birthday on October 31st. Even Sakura's design, like her name, evokes oriental culture, more specifically that of the Rising Sun! The red horns, the elongated eyes, and the round eyebrows are strongly characterizing in her appearance and seem to refer to a yokai, that is to a Japanese spectrum.
