Famous Trios
Many of the most recognizable groups in pop culture and real-life have been trios. As they say, good things come in threes, and perhaps this applies to trios very well. From boy bands to ninjas and from car reviewers to something scientific, here are 40 famous trios you need to know more about.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura
The adventures of Naruto and his friends Sasuke and Sakura have enthralled audiences around the world since the original manga series began in 1999. Due to its popularity, the long-running franchise has spawned an anime series, video games, and spin-offs. One is the spin-off and sequel Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which focuses on Naruto’s eponymous son. Fans have not starved for Naruto content even after the original series have ended
Harry, Hermione, and Ron
Diehard Potterheads have enjoyed the antics and stories of Harry, Hermione, and Ron ever since the first Harry Potter book came out in 1997. The magical series has become a major cultural phenomenon, with books, films, video games, merchandise, and even theme park rides inspired by the life inside and outside Hogwarts. Of course, the three major characters, dubbed “The Golden Trio”, make the franchise special. With wits and bravery, Hermione, Ron, and Harry are not just your typical witch and wizards.
Catch them in action through film adaptions in the Harry Potter movies.
Ash, Misty, and Brock
Ash Ketchum (Satoshi in Japan) and his partner Pikachu have been been the face of the Pokémon anime series since its premiere in 1997. While Ash has had multiple companions over the past two decades, few of his companions have reached the popularity of the originals: the tomboyish Misty and the romantic Brock. While Misty left the show in 2002 and Brock in 2010, viewers from their eras continue to have fond memories of them. Many fans celebrated when Misty and Brock returned to the show for a few episodes in 2017, as part of the anime’s 20th anniversary.
