Do you share any birthdays with vidya characters?

Post by retrolinkx »

Can also be related to video games as well.

I'm not sure if I share a birthday with any video game characters in a game, but I do share the same birthday as Yellow from the Pokemon Adventures manga. She's also my favourite colour and probably my favourite arc/character.

Unfortunately, I've yet to find another video game character inside a game to share one.

How about you guys?

How can some of us find "video game character birthdays" online?

Compared to anime characters or other fictional characters, video games don't have as many databases.

In my experience, Googling list of [Game title] characters will usually bring up a game's character list on Wikipedia or a wiki dedicated to that game specifically. Also, my experience is that googling [character name] [series name] wiki will return a profile article on a specific character from a wiki specific to that series. I just used the query yellow character bulbapedia to look up Yellow's birthday since I wasn't aware the Adventures/Special cast had birthdays.

Though, I confess that I'm drawing a blank on video game series that give birthdates to their characters.

Thinking across all fiction, the closest match I can think of is that Naruto Uzamaki's birthday is 4 days before mine, though I do known someone who shares their birthday with Harry Potter as well as someone who's birthday is the day before that of Fong Pudding from Tokyo Mew Mew.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia's page for specific days of the year only lists real-life people under births, and of the long list of births on the page for my Birthday, the only onces I recognize are President Eisenhower and the singer Usher.

And now that I know Yellow's birthday, I think it worth noting she shares a birthday with Onpu Segawa from Ojamajo Doremi. Granted, since their birthdays fall on the date of The Japanese Doll Festival, its probably a fairly popular choice for fictional females of Japanese origin if the creator isn't just assigning birthdays at random.

Of course, the Birthday Paradox says it should be easy to find a fictional character that has the same birthday as you. For those unfamiliar with the paradox, assuming birthdays are evenly distributed(i.e. the chances someone's birthday is a specified day of the year is 1 in 365), you only need a group of 23 people to have a greater than 50% chance of having a matching birthday within the group. Even though most creators don't bother with details like birthdays, there are still thousands of fictional characters that have their birthday defined, and its largely a matter of finding the match. Of course, that can be easier said than done.

Did some googling and came across a anime character wiki with lists of characters by birthdays, but didn't recognize any of the names and the only series I've even heard of bing Clannad and Angelic Layer.

Consulted the Harry Potter Wiki's page on October and the closest match there is that Fitwick's birthday is October 17.

Came across a page that lists Winnie the Pooh's birthday as October 14, though that appears to be a case of treating the release date of the first work featuring a character as their birthday rather than an in-universe birthday.

Still haven't found anything for video game characters, though I've exhausted the main cast of Pokemon Adventures as well as the Kanto Gym Leaders and Elite 4.

And yeah, if Animal Crossing literally has an NPC for every day of the year, finding a match there is almost as meaningless as finding someone in your home country whose a complete stranger but not only shares your birthday, but was born the same year.
