What is IP Ranking?
IP Ranking is the first entertainment IP demand intelligence platform, tracking anime, gaming, and character brands across 86 countries. While services like Parrot Analytics measure demand at the content title level, IP Ranking measures demand at the IP level — tracking how individual franchises, characters, and brands resonate across global markets.
We combine data from 6 sources across 86 countries to create composite popularity rankings for anime, gaming, and character IPs, updated weekly. Currently indexing 1,237 IPs.
What is CVS?
CVS (Character Valuation Score) is our proprietary metric that quantifies an entertainment IP's market value on a 0–100 scale. It combines four dimensions:
Search interest across tracked countries. Measures real-time consumer attention.
Video and search platform presence. Measures active discovery behavior.
Number of countries with measurable data. Measures geographic penetration.
Breadth of data sources with data for this IP. Measures cross-platform presence.

Character IP Classification
IP Ranking classifies character IPs into three types based on their relationship to source material:
Characters whose popularity is inseparable from their source title. Their brand value rises and falls with the title's performance.
Examples: Luffy (One Piece), Tanjiro (Demon Slayer), Goku (Dragon Ball)
Characters that have transcended their source material and carry standalone brand equity. They are recognized independently of any specific title.
Examples: Pikachu (Pokémon), Mario (Super Mario), Godzilla
Characters or brands that exist without a parent title or narrative franchise. They are pure character IPs monetized through merchandising, licensing, and presence.
Examples: Hello Kitty (Sanrio), Kumamon, Labubu (Pop Mart)

How is CVS calculated?
CVS (Character Valuation Score) is a weighted composite of four dimensions: Social Buzz (major input), Search Demand, Global Reach, and Source Coverage (supporting inputs). Each dimension is normalized to 0-100 and combined into a single score. Exact weights are proprietary and refined over time.
What is Type A/B/C classification?
Type A characters are title-dependent (e.g., Luffy from One Piece). Type B characters have transcended their source material (e.g., Pikachu). Type C characters are original IPs with no parent title (e.g., Hello Kitty).

Netflix: weekly on Tuesdays. YouTube: daily. AniList & MyAnimeList: every 6 hours. Google Trends: weekly. Wikipedia Pageviews: daily.
