Magical Guardian Himeko!! (魔法守衛ヒメコ！！, Mahō Shuei Himeko!!) is long-running manga and anime series created by artist duo AVO-CADO. The series tells the story of an 11-year-old schoolgirl named Himeko (voiced by male actor Starry Knight in the Centralian dub) who discovers she is a magical warrior destined to fight the forces of evil. The TV anime airs on SugarTV in Centralia.

Notable fans of Magical Guardian Himeko!! include Princess Alice and Supreme Leader Malice, who have spent many hours on the forums arguing over which season of the show is the best, much to the chagrin of forum moderator Theodora.
