[en] A polyvinyl alcohol has a number-average molecular weight (Mn) from 4,400 to 440,000, a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) from 1.05 to 1.70, a degree of saponification from 80 to 99.99 mol%, wherein the polyvinyl alcohol contains an end group represented by a formula (I) below, and a molar ratio (X) of the end group based on total monomer units and the number-average molecular weight (Mn) satisfy a formula (1) below. Such a polyvinyl alcohol has a narrow molecular weight distribution and a high number-average molecular weight with hue good.(In the formula, R<sup>1</sup>denotes an optionally substituted aromatic group having a carbon number from 6 to 20, and R<sup>2</sup>denotes a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having a carbon number from 1 to 20, or an optionally substituted aromatic group having a carbon number from 6 to 20.)X·Mn/44≥0.5
