How it works

Press New template for a 5 × 5 card of prompts, from Comfort character to Villain who was right. The free square in the middle is for your all-time favorite. Print or screenshot the card, write one character in every square, then post it or swap with a friend. The 90 prompts are ours and the names are yours, so the page holds no character names and no artwork.

Fill in a card from one phone

Press New template until you like the mix. For social media, take a screenshot and add names with your phone's photo markup. For paper, press Print the card. To type answers onto the card itself, tap a square and write your answer after its prompt. A square holds 60 characters.

Three packs, and how to turn it into a game

The word list runs in pack order: 30 prompts on favorites and feelings, 30 on roles and tropes, 30 on anime and manga. To play it as a game, press Save as a picture and send it, so everyone has the same card. Tap a square and press Mark each time two of you wrote the same name, and five marked in a row is bingo.

  • Put one series in the title and answer every square from it. Twenty-four answers from a single cast is harder than it sounds.
  • Using it as an anime bingo maker? Pick Anime and manga (30) under Ready-made list.
  • Step Grid down to 3 × 3 for a quick post. Nine squares fit a phone screenshot with room to write.

Questions and answers

How do I fill in the favorite character bingo template?

Three ways. Screenshot the card and add names with your phone's photo markup. Print it and use a pen. Or tap a square and type your answer after its prompt.

Can I use this as a character bingo maker with my own squares?

Yes. Open More options, press Empty the list, then type on the squares. Twenty-four lines fill a 5 × 5 card, and more lines make the cards differ. As a favorite character bingo maker for a group, set How many cards to the head count.

Why are there no character names or pictures on the page?

Characters belong to the people who made them, and the point of this card is that the answers are yours. So the page supplies prompts only, each written to work for any film, show, book, comic, game or anime.

What do tsundere, kuudere and isekai mean?

A tsundere is harsh or cold at first and warm underneath. A kuudere stays calm and keeps feelings out of sight. Isekai stories carry someone off to another world. The list lower on the page gives a one-line meaning beside every term like these.

Does my friend get the same card as me?

Only if you send it. New template deals a fresh card every time, so two people pressing it get different grids. Save as a picture makes an image of your exact card that a friend can fill in on any phone.

How this list was compiled: Written for this site on 2026-09-18; nothing was copied from another template. The list holds prompts only: there are no character names, no titles of films, shows, books, comics or games and no pictures, because every answer is supplied by the person filling in the card. Each prompt is 32 characters or fewer so that it fits a square of a 5 x 5 card, and each was checked against the site's family-safe rule (nothing sexual, nothing about bodies, nothing that mocks a person or a group). The meanings given for tsundere, kuudere, isekai, shonen, shojo and mecha were checked on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_anime_and_manga, senpai on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senpai_and_k%C5%8Dhai, magical girl on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_girl and filler on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(media), all on 2026-09-18, and are given in our own words. The other explanatory lines (comfort character, found family, redemption arc and the like) are our plain-words descriptions of everyday fan vocabulary. Licence: own work
