Both the main characters of Black Cover, the wizard big boys have known with the name Aska, and Yuno still keeps touch with their father, Orsi.
They also stay in contact with others who are present back at home. Whenever these wizard boys visit his father, itâs such an emotional moment that it creates anime warmth in the hearts of anime fans.

4. Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto Uzumaki is considered one of the best anime dads the world has seen to date. He plays the father role in the anime series Boruto.
As we all know, Naruto was one of the most popular anime characters in the past, so his role as a father broke all records. He is a kickass father with some extraordinary powers.
Despite not experiencing the actual happiness of parenting, Naruto never failed to guide his children on the right path and always prevent them from doing something wrong that they might regret in the future. Naruto never hesitates to point out the faults of his child.
Naruto is always busy as he is responsible for maintaining world peace, and the whole world depends on him. So, sometimes he is not able to make time for some events of his children which is why he sent clones to attend those events. This fault of Naruto can be ignored because he canât escape this.
Boruto is not happy with his father because of this reason as he never attends Borutoâs events. But there is no other way to prevent this from happening because the whole world depends on Naruto and he canât escape his responsibilities. We all expect that Boruto will understand when he is big.
5. Kouhei Inuzuka
Among all the anime dads, Kouhei Inuzuka is the sweetest. He plays the father role in the series Sweetness and Lightning. He is a single parent in this series; thus, he faces a lot of problems in life because being a single parent is not an easy task.
The most stressful thing of being a single parent is to bring bread to the table alone so that the family could eat and survive. He never failed in that.
Kouhei is busy most of the time, but still, he manages to take out some time for his daughter so that she can be happy and enjoy her time with her father. Taking out time for his daughter is the hardest thing he has to do.
He gets time to meet his daughter with so many difficulties that he is unable to spend any more time cooking any food for his daughter. Thus, his daughter never tasted a home-cooked meal.

6. Tomomi Masaoka
Tomomi Masaoka is a character who plays the role of a father in the series Psycho-Pass. Once children enter adulthood, the relationship between the father and the child becomes a little tricky because both have different ideologies.
You can witness this similar case in the relationship between Tomomi and his son because both of them are in the police department but in different positions.
Tomomiâs son is never respectful to him and had never been grateful for what he has achieved due to his father. But Tomomi always stands beside him, and he always tries to give a helping hand to his son whenever required.
This shows how caring he is thus Tomomi can be considered as one of the caring anime dads presents to date.

Even when Tomomi was taking his last breaths, the only thing he cared about is his son and his happiness. He didnât think of his own life, not even the mission but his son and his happiness.
7. Jouichirou Yukihira
He is considered as one of the passionate anime dads who efficiently trains his son to become a successful man. It is an actual fact that our parents leave an imprint of their personalities on us.
We follow some of their path with the aim to become something like them. In this series, the son of Jouichirou learned only one thing from his father that is pure passion.
Mostly a chefâs son is going to have a fondness or interest in cooking. But Jouichirou was the one who was able to up the stakes by challenging his son and encouraging him every day so that he will become something more than a chef.
The training of his father turned him into an expert, and he was able to hold grounds in elite tournaments. This was because of the time and knowledge spent on him by his father.
This shows that Jouichirou was a passionate father who wanted his son to be the best so that no one can beat him in any way. He tried to make his son the greatest of all time, and to some extent, he is successful. To make his son achieve this Jouichirou was bound to be strict while he trained his sons.
8. Thors
He is a character in the series Vinland Saga who plays a father figure in this series. Suppose we are evaluating Thor according to todayâs standards, in that case, he is a good father, but if we are evaluating him according to the Vikingâs standards, then he can be considered as an amazing father.
He was considered an amazing father because he was one of the most powerful people the world has ever seen. But despite being a powerful and the strongest warrior, he left the path of blood and war so that he can devote all his time to taking care of his family and children. Thus this shows how amazing a fatherly figure he is.
This paragraph contains some spoilers, so keep that in mind before reading this paragraph. Thor, even in his death bed, the only he was worried about, is his sonâs health and wellness.
He wished that his boy would live a happy and stress-free life after he is gone. He was a caring father despite being the strongest warrior in the world.
He left the battlefield to take care of his son, and thatâs a sacrifice everybody canât do. He is considered to be one of the best anime dads; the world will ever see.
9. Maes Hughes
Maes is a good-looking character in the series Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. He plays a father role in this series and that too with excellent efficiency. Girls go gaga for these anime characters because he is handsome and good-looking.
He is a fun-loving character with a great sense of humor and cracks jokes most of the time. He kidnapped someone with the only objective of giving proper hospitality.
He talks about his wife and daughter all the time. He goes on to a point where the viewers start getting thoughts of getting married as soon as possible. He talks about his family with so much passion that it makes things look magical. But he gets interrupted by someone every time; thus, he was forced to stop.
Many of my friends have decided to get married only because of this series. This series is an excellent influencer for those who donât want to get married.
As we can see, he loves his family and his children a lot thus proving to the viewers that he is one of the best dads that the anime world has ever seen.
10. Soichiro Yagami
Soichiro Yagami is a father character in the anime series Death Note. He is a character who has made this series entertaining and engaging for all the viewers.
Without him doing the father character, this show would have been dull and boring. After viewing this show, viewers considered him as an upstanding father.
This is a fact that because of his tens of thousands of people died a gruesome death. But he did that because of his parental instinct to save his children from all the danger. Soichiro didnât expect that protecting his children will turn out to be such a disaster for the others, but it happened.
He tried to prove his innocence in front of others, but he canât possibly do that because he was the sole suspect of the whole incident, and escaping this situation was close to impossible. He was the obvious suspect in front of the court.
Many viewers after watching the series had commented that he was not a good father because he didnât know his son properly, but I think this part of him should get ignored because we all are humans and mistakes are made by us only.Â
11. Jukai
Jukai was a character who played the role of a father in the anime series Dororo. Hyakkimaruâs biological father was a terrible father because he sacrificed his son for the sake of his country. So that his country can prosper more and more, he was a good leader, but parenting was not for him.
Jukai was a sinful person in his youth, but he was the one who brought back Hyakkimaru from death and gave him another life by giving him a body, a name, and love.Â
Jukai was scared for some time because he didnât know what he brought back from the dead. But he never stopped caring for Hyakkimaru.
Even on his death bed, he wished happiness for Hyakkimaru. He never thought that Hyakkimaru is a cursed child and might bring bad luck to his family. He was very fond of the child and took care of him as his own father.
