Alya's Height Surprises The Japanese

The franchise ofRoshidere: Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian” continues to generate conversation among its followers, and this time it is not because of its captivating story or its charismatic protagonist, but because of a new detail revealed: Alya, the elegant and cold treasurer of the student council, is 170 cm tall.

This fact has aroused interest and surprise among fans, since it contrasts markedly with the height of Yuki Suou, another of the most popular girls in the series, who measures 150 cm. The 20 cm difference between the two has led the community to debate how significant this height is by Japanese standards and how it influences the perception of the characters.

Alya Kujou, daughter of a Russian father and Japanese mother, is known for her cold personality, impeccable appearance, and extraordinary intelligence. Her height of 170 cm not only reinforces her imposing presence, but also reflects her Russian roots, a detail that distinguishes her from other female characters in anime.

On the other hand, Yuki Suou, Masachika's lively and provocative younger sister, measures 150 cm, which places her within the average female height in Japan. This contrast not only highlights the differences in character between the two, but also generates unique comedic situations and dynamics in the interaction between them, especially in their rivalry within the student council.

In Japan, the average height of women is around 158 cm, making Alya a remarkably tall woman by local standards. This has generated diverse opinions among fans:

«I thought they were more or less the same height.».
«The protagonist seems to be about 175 cm in front of Yuki, but next to Alya he must be over 190 cm».
«That!? Alya is taller than me».
«Alya is quite tall. I like that».
«They took this from the anime, but now the proportions are a disaster».
«Alya has very wide hips… But I'm sorry, I want to be with Yuki».
«The same height as me! How curious».

In the anime industry, physical details such as height are often significant, as they help define the personalities of the characters and the dynamics between them. In Alya's case, her height highlights her foreign origin and elegance, while Yuki's height complements her playful and energetic nature.
