The anime was created & designed by created by Aka Akasaka. She has a massive female fan following. After the Kaguya Sama was released in the market, the ‘Chika Dance’ was immensely popular because of the humorous content in it.
Chika is adorable, sweet, and also a bit cunning. We like Chika because she knows when to throw in the towel. She is currently engaged to Miyuki Shirogane. They both practice singing, dancing, and playing volleyball together.

3. Kurosaki Ichigo
Kurosaki Ichigo is a compelling fictional character created by Tite Kubo. The Shonen protagonist appears in the Bleach manga series. This character is one of the most hard-hitting characters you would ever encounter in the anime world.
Kurosaki has the capability to withstand plenty of punishment. While most other Shonen protagonists might be tempted to give up after a particular while, this guy does not. One example of that would be fighting Getsuga Tensho from Ginjo despite having hurt his arm.
Another notable feature of the anime character is that he is what he is till the end. While some characters tend to change by the end, he does not. He only gains power as the series moves on and is, of course, pretty hot-headed, a feature a true warrior should have.
4. Shoto Todoroki
If you liked Kurosaki Ichigo, then you would love our next anime character, Shoto Todoroki. Shoto is like Kurosaki, extremely talented, highly skilled, and wants to have peace in his region. A true wannabe hero.
You can catch Shoto in the anime series, My Hero Academia. We liked some character features in him, including enhanced strength, speed, and agility that are required to become a superhero.
Shoto is a student at the UA High School wanting to become a pro hero. He is training hard and has received several official recommendations.
You will be delighted to know that his voice is done by both Yūki Kaji and Kei Shindō in the Japanese version. They have also performed for other characters.

Our next anime character is nothing like you would have seen before. Introducing Reigen Arataka, a 28-year-old who is a mentor to the MP100. Though he is a fake psychic, he makes use of real tricks with the help of Mob to tackle unfortunate exorcisms.
He is kind and helpful, trying to do his best to help needy people. His personality traits and dressing style make him popular among most characters. Unlike other superheroes, he wears a suit. That is right. He can be seen in a gray suit and a sublime pink tie.
Interesting combination, one can say. Besides, he is tall, slim, and slightly pale for a Japanese anime character. Moreover, he comes taller than most of the male characters. His character is one of the most popular amongst animators in Japan who find him attractive.
6. Violet Evergarden
If you are looking for something more mature and attractive, then you are in luck. Presenting to you, Violet Evergarden. She is the most charming individual you would have ever met. Her dressing sense, her beautiful hair, charming face, and attractive figure make her complete.
Violet might change your ideas about life and even anime. Yes, she has that power to do so. She belongs to the series Violet Evergarden. Her anime character is displayed such that she fails to connect with most humans because of her difficult upbringing.

7. Bakugo Katsuki
Bakugo Katsuki completes the My Hero Academia trio. We are pleased to announce that the three characters of the series have made it to our list. Why not? They are sophisticated, handsome, powerful, and come with incredible capabilities.
It is safe to say that Bakugo was able to stand the test of time. He has managed to walk tall amongst the ruins. Just like Shoto, who has got the moves, Bakugo also has the manly essence of Izuku.
He is tall & aggressive, unlike most of the other characters who are known to have a soft side. This guy just does not have any of them at all. Bakugo has always thought of himself as superior and wants to remain that way.
Though he is somewhat arrogant, he can also manage things smartly. He knows how to make the moves. Bakugo has a particular dislike for Izuku Midoriya, who he often bullies. He feels that Izuku is standing in his way to becoming the most powerful superhero.
As you grow older, you tend to understand people better. You begin to realize why they react in a certain way that they did. This makes you mature. Likewise, Bakugo evolves as a person and begins to mellow down as he ages, making his character much more captivating.
8. Tobio Kageyama
Tobio Kageyama is a product of Shonen sports. They have managed to intrigue us with some of their best characters. Tobio is undoubtedly one of them. We do not have to tell you why we have put him on our list.
The moment you meet Tobio, you get a feeling that this guy is arrogant, unfriendly, and extremely rude. But that is not the case. He is a calm, well-mannered and calm individual. It is just that the circumstances that he is placed in make him react like that.
Being the main character of Haikyuu, one of the most popular sports anime, he has shown us what it takes to succeed. This anime drama strives to bring out the best from him. The competition evolves into more of a drama with emotions, anger, and frustrations boiling over.
There is an intense connection between the viewers and the sport. The characters are able to infuse that bonding with their moves, shouts, and emotions upon winning. Of course, there is plenty of sadness too.
His character has a stark resemblance to human nature. Sometimes we face an identity crisis too. This happens when we are not sure about which direction to take. We are surrounded by too many noises that hamper our hearing to that still calm voice of the right direction.
9. Koyomi Araragi
Koyomi Araragi is another exciting anime character. If you have been reading or watching their series, there is a strong chance of coming across Koyomi Araragi. He appears in the popular series Monogatari.
His character prioritization has been done exquisitely. Koyomi is a high school student who has seen it all in his young life. He has survived a vicious attack from vampires. Because of that, he still retains some vampires’ traits that lead to several viewers questioning his behavior.
In this sense, Koyomi can easily see through the dark. Moreover, his turn becomes red in color when he gets upset or angry. Besides, his wounds can heal almost instantly. So, there is a debate on his age because he never seems to grow older.
Though most of the negative vampire effects have left him, Koyomi is still afraid of the sunlight during the morning. He has only one friend in school, Tsubasa Hanekawa. Though girls find him quite attractive, Koyomi does not return their advances.
He has a girlfriend, Hitagi, and wants to be loyal to her. However, other characters in the series seem to think that Koyomi is a threat to Hitagi. Due to the fact that he loves to help people, even though his own life is in danger, Hitagi loves him.
10. Dazai Osamu
Dazai Osamu is one of the popular characters in the Bingo Stray Dogs series. He is a must-watch because of his elegant appearance and strong capabilities. Besides, he is immensely unreal and gets crazy at times.
This is shown numerous times because he has made a few suicides attempts himself. His observing abilities are second to none, and he likes to be himself most of the time. The only person who knows him very well is Sakunosuke Oda.
Dazai looks quite handsome and is somewhat on the taller side. He has short brown hair and brown eyes. Oda knew that Dazai was somebody who would linger on in darkness for quite a while unless something drastic happened to make him change his mind.
Oda was absolutely correct about that aspect in Dazai because he decided to change for the better only after Oda’s death. His longing to stay with the mafia and do their dirty work did not attract him anymore.
Instead, he wanted to do something good for the betterment of society.
His unpredictable character is more than enough to create a curious feature about him. Not surprisingly, he is loved by female anime fans all over the world.
11. Shigeo Kageyama
Shigeo Kageyama could be perhaps one of the most eccentric characters of all. Shigeo has a cute nickname, Mob. He is the protagonist of the Mob Psycho 100 series and one of the members of the Body Improvement Club.
Since childhood, he found that his psychic power is linked with emotions. Sometimes when he is in a bad mood or angry, then it makes him want to hurt others. However, this is something that he himself desists and ensures to keep his emotions under control.
His socializing ability is poor because he is incapable of reading the minds of others. This makes him have no friends at all. However, he is kind, helpful, and very compassionate. He wants to become like the Mob Psycho 100 series leader, Reigen.
Shigeo wants to boost his popularity in Season 2, and if you have seen it, you will know the answer. Though in Season 1, he is portrayed as more of a simple, easy-going, and laid-back attitude guy, Season 2 does justice to his protagonist nature.
We highly recommend that you watch Mob Psycho 100 anytime you want.
12. Onizuka Eikichi
Onizuka Eikichi wants to become the best high school teacher in Japan. Interesting to note that most of the characters don’t come of this nature. Onizuka is a 22-year-old gang leader of a bike gang.
His desire to become a teacher is fueled by the cause of having a wife to take care of him when he is old and weak. Onizuka is greedy, lazy, and worse, a prevent. Not the ideal features that anybody wants as a teacher.
As luck would have it, he gets a job to teach third and fourth graders in a famous Holy Forest Academy. This despite hitting the Vice Principal. Most of the new teachers have left school because of the mental harassment meted out by the students on them.
The third and fourth graders had some sinister plans for Onizuka as well. However, they probably did not know about his powers and abilities. Besides, he is not your teacher kind of a guy.
However, he does a fantastic job of handling students who get bullied on a regular basis. Moreover, he helps them get out of their suicidal tendencies and protects the weak from even sexual harassment.
He even goes to the extent of jumping from the building to save a child wanting to commit suicide. His students are more than impressed by his non-teaching qualities of love & kindness. They want to reciprocate to him in the same manner.
13. Saber – Green haired anime characters
Saber is a well-loved anime character. She is part of the fate series that has managed to confuse most of its viewers because of its weird storyline. We liked it and must say that they have done an incredible job with it.
Most of the characters in the series have done their part exceptionally well. One of the leading characters in the series was Kiritsugu. Saber also managed to garner some attention based on her performance in the series.
Viewers have loved her actions. She has done her role to perfection based on the narrative. Her actions have resulted in some of the wildest changes in the narrative, and her contribution is remarkable.
Her bold avatar in dark blue and armor and sword make her always ready for battles. She loves to have meals that are healthy and well-structured. Moreover, she likes to play with stuffed animals.
However, she does not like to dress too much and focuses on simple attire. Besides found performing gymnastic exercises, she is also good at gambling.
Her quote is something that one can implement in their life. It goes like this, “There are no regrets for me. One should be proud of what they did and not wish for another chance.”
It is not surprising that she is very popular among her fans.
14. Aisaka Taiga
If you are into romance, then you may be interested in viewing Aisaka Taiga. She is one of the characters that are able to give life to the role she is given. She appears in the Toradora series which gives you an insight into romance.
Besides, the series comes with a wide range of characters who you will love. Though she can be rough and tough, she has a soft corner for others. Aisaka is a school-going student; she is elegantly dressed and has a beautiful appearance that makes others jealous.
Besides, she is very short-tempered. Her classmates call her Palmtop Tiger. Otherwise, she is a pleasant person to know and communicate with. Many boys in her class have proposed to her, which she politely rejected.
Though she belongs to a wealthy family, several misunderstandings at home made her run away. However, she thinks of Ryuuji as a special friend and trusts him a lot. She is heavily dependent on her good friend, Ryuuji.
After school, she spends most of her time in his house, and they consider her a family member. Don’t you want to know what happens in the end to Aisaka? Looking at how a misunderstood girl becomes into a warm, friendly, and kind person is something not to miss.
15. Kaguya Shinomiya
We sometimes come across some characters that sway us with their personality. A real hero does not necessarily have always to be strong and powerful. They can be mild and polite but have strength in their character.
One such character is Kaguya Shinomiya. She plays the protagonist in the series Kaguya Sama Love is War. Kaguya is the vice president of the student council of Shuchiin Academy, and more importantly, she belongs to the Shinomiya group.
At times, she tends to look down on most people. Before joining the student council, she hardly communicated with anybody. Though she is born in a wealthy family, her strict upbringing enables her to tackle the enemies head-on without hassle.
She does not tell her parents about falling in love with Miyuki Shirogane. Kaguya reminds us of most people who tend to keep their problems within themselves and find solutions to them. Instead of complaining about the situation, she finds her way through, though it is challenging.
You would be stunned to find out the ending. Trust us when we say this, if you haven’t watched the series, then you just might be missing out on something great. So, why don’t you watch the series? You might end up liking it a lot.
16. Shinobu Oshino
Shinobu Oshino is one of the most loved characters. Her charm and irresistible face can blow your mind away. Shinobu is part of the Monogatari series that, unlike other series, is not characterized by protagonists.
The series is unique and lovely in one way because their characters have the ability to find their way to your heart. Shinobu lives with Meme in a building that is mostly abandoned. Her favorite food item is donuts that Mister Donut offers her.
She has a supernatural power that makes her appear like a 10-year-old or even a 100-year-old. She finds herself facing painful times. This quality in her sometimes reminds us to think of life and the challenges it throws against us.
We must try and convince ourselves that we can face what is ahead. As you watch the series, you find out and will understand that her personality blends with most of us. Do you give the series a try today?
17. Hikigaya Hachiman
Hikigaya Hachiman is another interesting protagonist among most characters. His primary ability is that he can find answers to most questions that we at times struggle with. Hikigaya Hachiman is a high-school student.
Like most of his age, he dreams of a peaceful and lovely life. Sadly, that is not what it is because he had to deal with a lot of pains and sorrows. Sometimes he gives you a feeling that he is very stingy and weird.
Hikigaya is of average build and has black hair. Everybody talks about his gentle fish-shaped eyes. If you notice, he does not like to wear his uniform as most others. He decides to get rid of the tie and instead likes to wear a black shirt inside.
He loves to watch TV, read comic books, and sleep. This hinders his ability to communicate with others rendering him without many friends. You can also find him pondering on some games using his devices.
His primary interaction is with Komachi. Apart from whom, he does not speak much to anyone else. He serves as the protagonist of Oregairu. Why not watch the series and find out why we have him on board?
18. Zero Two
Zero Two is an attractive female character. If you are on the lookout for inspiration, then there is none better than Zero Two. She is a protagonist in the series Darling In The FranXX. If you watch the series, you will learn that the series delves into the lives of humans.
With the help of the storyline, you tend to like her. That is because her character tends to remind you much about yourself. Though she is fun to be with, she is also very cunning and intelligent.
Most feel that she is incapable of fighting them. However, they realize how wrong they were. She does not mind failing at things. Her motto is quite simple. Keep failing and keep rising. Unlike others who might give up on life at the slightest of failures, Zero Two keeps striving hard for success.
Moreover, this feature in her makes her want to hate society all the more. Besides, she does not get along with people. Why don’t you see the series and find out more about her? You would be truly stunned to find out her nature?
19. Hisoka
We begin our quest with the bad guys. Our first on the list of characters having villain roles would be Hisoka. Hisoka reminds us at times of some of the decisions we have taken in our lives.
Initially, they may seem to make sense, but then we realize that we were traveling in the wrong direction in the long run. He appears in the Hunter x Hunter series. Though he is playing a villain role, Hisoka has plenty of fan-following.
That could probably be because of his charming looks and suave character. His trademark would be the red hair and a red color star tattooed on his face. That gives him a devious look and presence.
Most of the heroes are afraid to take on him because of his deceitful methodologies. He tends to have this ability to predict his enemies’ moves instantly, leading him to success. His main weapon is a Shu poker card.
His accuracy with the poker cards makes him deadly and impotent. You will like his character and the way he deals with people. Perhaps, we ought to take a leaf out of his book and learn that art.
He is immensely intrigued by Gon. Hisoka is currently training him to become powerful and victorious. Why not see the series and decide for yourself? Don’t be surprised if you find yourself beginning to like him.
20. Roy Mustang
Roy Mustang is charming, bold, and handsome. We should say that Roy should be one of the best characters around. He appears in the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. He is as entertaining as one can get and notably ideal hero material.
Roy has strong virtues over anything else. He is a guy that does not easily say no to something. That makes him unique indeed. Though he comes across as soft-spoken and gentle, he is the opposite.
Roy can tear apart anybody that he wants. He is known as the flame alchemist having immense control over the heat. This is something that he learned when he was a student in the academy. He wears special gloves that generate fire when rubbed together.
One of his standout features is that he is arrogant and manipulative at times. These are the traits that he mastered over others. This makes him get what he wants. Perhaps, we can learn a thing or two from him.
Why not watch the series and find out whether his desire to become a Fuher to reform the government comes true or not? This is a must-watch for those of you who like the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
21. Gojo Satoru
Gojo Satoru is an all-rounder with incredible skills and powers. He is one guy to watch out for among most characters. Gojo possesses immense reflexes, strength, and also tactical strength.
He appears in the much-anticipated series, Jujutsu Kaisen. In fact, the series gained immense popularity because of his character, and the writers are milking on that. Though it was released only in 2020, the series is giving some serious competition to seasoned players.
Gojo is quite a cool and relaxed person. He knows when to argue and fight with people he dislikes. Perhaps, this is something we can learn from him. Most of his fights are popular among his fans.
They are pretty interesting, charming, and fascinating. Just when you think that he is on the verge of losing, he makes a fantastic comeback. Since he is a sorcerer, he knows his capabilities and always makes sure never to intimate people.
It is not surprising that if you were to ask the favorite character of Jujutsu Kaisen fans, they would reply with the name Gojo. He is one thing on the surface and quite the other when on the inside.
You can’t make that out easily when you see him. However, he has accomplished a lot and is one of the prominent people of the show. Why don’t you find out for yourself why all this hue and cry about Gojo?
22. Megumin
Talking about sorcerers and wizards, we have one more in the form of Megumin. Unlike other wizards, she is adorable. She possesses incredible powers that can skillfully create a great craze about her.
She appears in a not-so-popular series known as KonoSuba. That is what surprised even us because she made it on our characters list. Though the series is exciting and unique in its own way, it managed to gain some popularity because of Megumin.
Most of the characters in the series come with their powers and capabilities. They can become powerful wizards with their extraordinary powers. But it just does not blend with the techniques and abilities.
Her central powers are that of explosions. She seems to have an affinity for them and does not shy away from using them. Unfortunately, Megumin is so obsessed with explosions that she fails to learn other tricks or skills.
She is a descendent of crimson demons who have outstanding features on them with red eyes and thick long, black hair. Give the series a try today; you may end up loving her character to no end.
23. Yato
Yato should be on the list if you like with striking features. Unlike the other characters who are villains or heroes, Yato plays the role of a God. However, Yato is very humble and loving.
He appears in the series Noragami. He wants to build his shrine and wears a fluffy-wuffy scarf jersey. Yato calls himself as Yato God, and when his Shinki decided to leave, he became weaponless.
This was until he came to know Yukine & Hiyori. God charges a meager fee for his services. Yato has placed his phone number in several places for people to call him up when they require his help.
He charges 5 yen, which is a typical rate in Japan. Most people tend to offer the same rate in the shrines when they go there for praying. Since the amount is very low and he cannot make a shrine with that amount, he has to come up with other ideas.
Like everybody else, he has a past. After all, we have our own reasons for doing certain things. Some of us decide to change for the better. Likewise, Yato has a past, and he decided to change himself.
His motto is if God wants to do anything, he can do it, including taking somebody’s life. Get ready for a lovable series in the form of Noragami. Be warned you may find yourself falling in love with his character.
24. Senjougahara Hitagi
Senjougahara Hitagi is an exciting anime character. She is interesting because she is known as weightless Hitagi. Unlike other characters that we have come across on our list, Senjougahara has an incurable disease that has rendered her weightless.
She does get cured in the end. But her characterization has been done exceptionally well. We get to know how she overcame all these problems and challenges. Sometimes we as human beings tend to get locked up with our own emotions because of some kind of health weakness.
We must realize that we too can achieve greatness in life, provided we strive and work towards it. Hitagi appears in the Monogatari series that is known for its famous cast. Though each character offers something or the other, Hitagi’s character is what got us over her.
Her only real friends are Koyomi & Araragi, with whom she studies in high school. Because of her mysterious encounter with a crab, she has become weak. This makes her very much to herself because she does not want others to know her secret.
Hence, she decides to remain abusive to one and all. After meeting Araragi, she gets cured, and her confidence comes back to her. She was able to put away her difficulties and shortcomings that she used to ignore.
Besides, she forms a new relationship with Araragi. It is not surprising that their friendship is the main reason the series became such a massive hit. A loving series that is highly recommended.
25. Emilia
Emilia is another cute anime character who plays the primary role in the series, Re: Zero. This series is famous because of its all-lady cast. The Isekai series has a tremendous female fan-following, and we are not surprised because of that.
Her portrayal in the series has been elegantly done. In a sense, though her appearance looks angry, arrogant, and abusive, she is the sweetest person that you can get to talk or interact with.
Viewers who have finished watching season 1 do not get to see her real nature, mostly revealed in season 2. She is more than her beauty and her attitude. Emilia has been presented well, with long silver hair and a fabulous purple-colored dress.
She fits the bill to become the next ruler of the royal election. This is when she meets Subaru and wants to get to take her help to win the election. Though she is not selfish, she acts like that during some unavoidable circumstances that make her do so.
Like we said in the beginning, most people tend to misunderstand and underestimate her because of her childish looks. Besides, she lives in the forest and is not accustomed to human mannerisms that she needs to beware of before standing in the election.
26. Rem
Rem is another prodigy of the Isekai series with its high-profile female cast. We felt that Rem deserved a chance on our list. She is the most mischievous among the characters, and most of her fans find her drool-worthy.
Her blue eyes and dressing sense are more than cute. She is the maid to Lord Roswaal L Mathers. She has her sister Ram alongside her to serve the Lord. Rem can be seen in almost all the roles in Arc 3, Arc 2, and Arc 7.
Though she is quite close to Subaru, she does not trust him. That is because of the magic spell cast on by the evil witch. However, after getting saved by him once, she opens her true feelings. Sadly, her memories have been taken away by Lye Batenkaitos.
She awakens only in Arc 6 and is suffering from amnesia. She sometimes acts without thinking because of her health condition. This leads others into thinking that she is doing things on purpose.
Rem also does not love her sister Ram as much as she used to do like before. We do not want to reveal more of this otherwise exceptional character that needs a lot of love and attention. Why don’t you watch the series and find out about her popularity?
27. Kaneki Ken
Kaneki Ken is part of the series Tokyo Ghoul. You would be surprised to know that even the makers were apprehensive about its popularity when it was first aired. Luckily, it gained immense popularity among both men & women audiences because of this anime character.
Kaneki Ken seems to have his own charm and beauty. He is more of a ghoul, though he wants to live everyday life like others. Hence, his methodologies in dealing with people seem different from others.
This is something that nobody has witnessed or seen before. His best friend is Hide, whom he has been friends with since childhood. Kaneki would find himself struggling to get words out of his mouth, but Hide would act as his voice assistant and get the words out.
It is perhaps a strong bonding between them that makes these kinds of things happen. Another excellent example of that would be Hide distracts Ken so much that he gives up eating non-vegetarian food, though his ghoul spirits tempt him.
Want to know, then why don’t you give his series a try and see for yourself?
28. Guts
Guts are one of my favorite characters. Like his name goes, he has plenty of guts. Probably that is why he is called so. Guts appear in the popular series, Berserk. A famous writer, Miura Kentarou, wrote berserk.
He has nothing normal in life because he is constantly on the run. Every day is like a battle for him. It is either you do or die. The series was popular because of its intense storyline, and we, too, loved it.
He has given up his human nature because of the sad things happening around him. It relates with some humans, doesn’t it? For some of us, every day is nothing but a rush. We have to keep running wherever with no end in sight.
But he decides that he has had enough of this running around and wants to put an end to it. Being followed by demons, he takes the help of the Dragon slayer. Guts plan to kill each and everyone who backstabbed him.
Of course, not everyone he planned to kill is a baddy. Like Puck and Isidro, some of them turn out to be good people. They both also decide to join forces with Guts to get rid of the bad people in the world and make it a better place.
Run along with their journey and find out what happens in the end.
29. Sakurajima Mai
Sakurajima Mai is a cutey. There is absolutely no doubt about that. Though she is a very serious person, she can be friendly. However, if you push her around, then you may not want to see her other side.
Sakuta often finds the wrong end of Mai. That is because Sakuta keeps on taunting and finding faults with Mai. She is a bright student and helps others with their studies. Her mother is in charge of a modeling agency, which made Mai intrigued in modeling from a young age.
It is not surprising that her dressing sense is top-notch, and she wants to become a model in the future. Though she modeled for her mother in a swimsuit advertisement, she realized that her mother was utilizing her good looks for the sake of earning easy money.
This pushed her to attend high school and get good grades. Again, she had to deal with some personal issues causing her to delay her transition into high school, leaving her alone most of the time.
It resonates with some of us. Does it not? Why not give it a try and find out how she overcomes this isolation?
30. Makise Kurisu
Makise Kurisu is the next anime character that we immensely adore. While most female characters are charming and loving, Makise is beyond just beautiful. She plays the lead female character in the series Steins Gate.
Besides her beauty, she is also talented. She is a scientist at the Victor Qondria University’s Brain Research Program. It comes as no surprise because her father was one, and Makise is motivated to continue researching in the same line as her father did.
Sometimes life does not go according to plan, and the same happens with her. She ends up meeting with Okabe Rintaro. She was the gem that gave a new direction to the Steins Gate anime, and the way she does that is absolutely adorable.
Though she is pretty young for her age to become a scientist, she had earlier skipped a grade and is now known for her research papers. Her standout feature is that she is quite friendly but stern in looks.
She does not want to give away her childishness and curiosity to others. Her colleagues, at times, do not see eye to eye with some of her ideas and call her mad scientist. But that does not deter her from making progress in what she has destined for.
We promise you will love this character, so why don’t you check it out today.
31. Roronoa Zoro
Roronoa Zoro is part of one of the most popular series to have hit the anime market. If you are into anime, then you would have heard about One Piece. It consisted of close to 20 million episodes.
The character Roronoa Zoro was one of the most loved. We all liked his never-say-never-die attitude in the series. Besides, it motivates us to push beyond our boundaries and those mental barriers to achieve what we want to.
Zoro happens to be a member that Luffy hired. He has his fighting style with his trusted sword. Using the santoryu, he can defeat the bad guys. This unique fighting style is also known as the three katana fighting style.
He usually ties a bandana over his forehead, and that is when you know that there is bound to be some serious action. He is afraid of nothing, not even death. Though his character is very entertaining, Zoro finds immense happiness and joy in doing good.
If you are a One Piece viewer, you would know that he is a gentle person. We cannot call him a samurai, but he has maintained an impeccable record in defeating the bad chaps. He is not like Luffy because he kills his enemies if he has to at any cost.
32. Sakata Gintoki
Sakata Gintoki is our next protagonist. He appears in the must-watch series Gintama. Gintama is one of the most popular series in the anime market and has a huge fan following. We thoroughly enjoyed watching Gintama and found that the characters do their role elegantly.
Among them is Sakata, with his warm blue hair and yellow piercing eyes can be intimidating as well as friendly. The characters like these add a lot of excitement to the series and give viewers what they are looking for.
His character is such that he can make you cry as well as make you laugh your head off. Isn’t that funny enough? Like some of the characters that we read about, Sakata lives in an era where we do not require samurai fighters.
Gone are the days when these guys used to cause panic amongst one and all. He has to not only subdue his enemies but take care of his two kids, Kagura and Shinpachi. Sakata comes as a seasoned swordsman who still is able to cause fear in the Amanto, his sworn enemies.
However, his main weakness would be Ketsuno, the news weather girl. He does his best to try and talk to her using various tactics. Unknown to him, other female characters have a soft corner for him.
So, if you have not seen Gintama, then what are you waiting for?
33. Edward Elric
Edward Elric is somebody who can outdo everybody else in the series. The alchemical prodigy belongs to the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and is quite capable of doing what most protagonists cannot do.
Those of you who like heroes wearing the full armor might have a soft corner for Edward. We find as mature, calm, and quite composed. Though he happens to be one of the shortest characters in the series, his presence itself is enough to cause panic among his enemies.
You would be delighted to know that he happens to be the youngest to have received the Amestris State Military. He wants to come back to Alphonse, his younger brother. His lack of body movement due to his arm and leg does not reduce his speed or agility.
We found this connection in humans too. We liked the fact that he does not give up on things that easily. We appreciated his character because he does not unnecessarily occupy most of the screen time.
He comes up does his part when the time is right. That is the way it should be. We find this kind of proper balance in the series as one of the most intriguing. Edward is a formidable fighter and can subdue any kind of enemy that he wants.
34. Eren Yeager
Eren Yeager is another exciting anime character who appears in one of the most popular series, Attack On Titan. Eren is a charming guy with the right features that make him the protagonist in most series.
Eren’s father is a well-known doctor in his community, and his mother, a housewife, a sweet woman. His childhood friend is Mikasa, with whom he shares a close bond. Mikasa has the dubious task of protecting him when he begins to fight with others.
Otherwise, he might hurt himself. Armin happens to his other friend with whom he spends quality time with. He has been through a lot, and sometimes viewers think some of his actions are senseless.
Viewers need to understand that he is pretty similar to that of Kaneki Ken, whom we read about. This feature in him makes him one of the most loved characters. If you haven’t seen it, then you do not know what you are missing out on. The series is now in its fourth season.
35. Okabe Rintaro
Remember Makise Kurisu on our list? If you do, you would also know that she appears in the Steins Gate series. Well, now we are going to read about the protagonist in the series.
While Makise was a splendid character in Steins Gate, Okabe Rintaro, often nicknamed Okarin, is probably the only character who can do justice to the lead. The first impression you get about him is that he is a mad scientist.
He even introduces himself with the wrong name to others. However, after several episodes, you can find the situation changing completely because you note that the same guy who was clumsy, weird, and forgetful is just the opposite after that.
We do not want to spoil you by telling you everything here. Why don’t you do yourself a favor and see why this guy is one of our most sort after? And don’t be surprised if you find out why.
36. Monkey D Luffy
Monkey D Luffy appears in the most-watched series, One Piece. For a change, this guy’s character has been done pretty well. If you want to see somebody act dumb, but is actually not, then you have your man right here.
Luffy continues the trend of those dumb guys, who are really very smart and intelligent. His decision-making needs some introspection. Otherwise, he is good enough to be the main protagonist of a top-rated series.
He is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy likes to see things differently and in a simple manner. But he can see what might go wrong in most things if they happen. This is something that most of us might want to learn from him.
Besides, his fight sequence is splendidly done. We just love to watch them because we enjoy them. For example, he may have to fight with somebody who is much stronger than him, but he still manages to win.
Though he loses, the sentiments that come from the fight are very emotional. Moreover, he tends to feel hungry all the time, for some reason. We loved this feature in character, making him all the more lovable.
Don’t you think it is time to watch One Piece?
37. Lelouch Lamperouge
Lelouch Lamperouge begins our countdown to the last three characters on our list. Lelouch is louch and can surprise you with his quick moves and intense decision-making. This is what we liked about him.
You can find in him on the Code Geass series shown on Television way back in 2006. This series was when his character was introduced. His wit and intelligence are beyond par and come with elegance personified.
The writers have designed his character such that you will instantly fall in love with him because of his strategic decisions. He seems to have the ability to predict future mishaps and prevent them from happening most of the time.
Besides, he has a charming personality? Who does not like a charming personality blended with intelligence? Moreover, he is entertaining, loving, and caring. You will be glad to know that he was able to lead the Japanese army to freedom.
He was able to do that while studying in high school. Lelouch also has the added responsibility of taking care of his sister Nunnally. It is evident that Lelouch is one hell of a character that you do not want to take your eyes from.
38. Killua Zoldyck
Killua Zoldyck is another interesting anime character that you wouldn’t want to miss out on for the rest of the world. Killua is young and short. But his knack of intensely knowing the enemy the moment he sees them separates him from the rest of the heroes.
When you see him fight dangerous monsters and hunters using his phenomenal strength, you get a sense of satisfaction. Besides, he has a very charismatic attitude. It is not often that you can get to see this kind of hunter in the manga.
Being the third child of his parents, he becomes the protagonist of the series Hunter x Hunter. The character’s best friend is Gon, who happens to be friendly, deceitful, and cheerful. The problem here is that Killua is rude to most of the people he gets to meet.
He can analyze any situation with immense accuracy and thought. He sometimes believes he is brighter than most and does not judge the other person’s capability, leading him to lose occasionally. Unlike other characters, he deserves all the love and affection showered on him.
39. L Lawliet
If a character makes you go wild, then it has to be L Lawliet. He is the man for the moment. When you have seen Death Note, you will know what we are talking about. He does not even need an introduction, but for most of you who don’t know him might want to get to know him.
We promise you won’t regret getting to know him. His duty and foremost responsibility are to fight against Light Yagami. Light Yagami is the main antagonist of the series. This world-renowned detective has to catch a murderer who is only known as Kira.
But not many know that Kira happens to be the Light Yagami. Only one man knows that, and it is L Lawliet. Under his investigation, he takes it as a challenge to prove that Light Yagami is Kira. However, many find it difficult to believe him in that.
Very few characters have this ability to garner on-screen presence. This guy is truly one among them. His style of moving around, even drinking tea, is something worth admiring. We feel that the sheer amount of intensity he brings to the series is worth noting.
It becomes evident that he holds the title for being the main protagonist in the series Death Note. Otherwise, we doubt that the series would have any credibility whatsoever and become nothing in front of most anime series.
40. Levi Ackerman
Levi Ackerman has taken the characters by storm. If there is anyone who deserves a coveted first prize, then it has to be Levi. He is often known as Captain Levi. He has the captain material in him.
He is the main character of the series, Attack on Titan. Levi is the squad captain of the Special Operations Squad inside the Scout Regiment. He has impressive black hair that is styled into more of an undercut.
His blue eyes cover his innocent yet deceitful facial features. Though he is short, he is powerful. Levi is known for making few expressions like frowning or well, being without any expressions.
That makes it incredibly difficult for his enemies to decide on his next move. We also love the fact that his on-screen presence does not affect others. Though he is soft & humble, he is strict when it comes to morals.
His badass behavior and general character can steal your heart. We like his presence on the franchise and honestly believe that his contribution is unmatched. We don’t think Attack On Titan would be the same without this guy on it.
