Claudia Kishi
Fans of the series will recognize Claudia as the Baby-Sitters Club's resident artist and style icon. In the 2020 reboot, she's just as chic, and played by Momona Tamada (left). The club's vice-president was also played by Jeni F. Winslow in the 1990 TV series and Tricia Joe in the 1995 film.Ā
The character is so iconic, she even inspired her own documentary on Netflix, The Claudia Kishi Club, after garnering admiration and praise through the years as a female Japanese-American character who encouraged women to be who they want to be while busting stereotypes about Asian characters in media.Ā

Dawn Shafer
Xochitl Gomez (left) takes on the role of L.A. transplant and impassioned environmentalist Dawn Shafer in the 2020 reboot. Dawn was previously played by two blonde, white women, so Gomez is making her mark as the club's do-it-all "alternate officer." Melissa Chasse (center) first played Dawn in the TV series, while Larisa Oleynik (right) in the 1995 film.Ā
