Best Male Anime Kuuderes

Every girl loves a bad boy and if they say no, they're lying to you. Just kidding! But don't think that only girls can be kuudere's. A few boys can be that way to. So I'll leave in ten male kuudere's for you and the rest is up to you.
The Top Ten
Ulquiorra Cifer (Bleach) Ulquiorra Cifer is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

He's my favorite character from Bleach, even after sixteen seasons have aired. He's very callous and seems indifferent to the other people around him. He doesn't even believe in human emotions.

Seeing his personality continue to be cold yet trying to understand emotions captivated me.

Sesshoumaru (Inuyasha)

His name means Destruction of Life... damn. He was born of a demon bloodline and had perfect power. He was calm because of his natural abilities and tried at all costs to avoid emotional influence.

However, one smile changed his feelings towards humans. When a certain character dies, he does show grief over their death.

Hei (Darker than Black)

His daily life consists of him taking false identities and keeping to himself. He's an assassin and a very good one at that, calculating his opponents and being ruthless to whoever crosses the line. But his attitude towards Bai, Yin, and Suou does show parts of his humanity.

Houtarou Oreki (Hyouka) Houtarou Oreki is the protagonist of Hyouka. He is a student of Kamiyama High School belonging to class 2-A (class 1-B earlier) and a member of the mystery-solving Classics Club. Despite being a passive character who prioritizes energy conservation above all else, Hōtarō possesses brilliant deduction... read more

This high school student is brilliant and passive at the same time. He never tries to overexert himself if he doesn't find it necessary. This might have to do with his isolated upbringing.

Seeing him grow because of Eru and her friends made him more than just a too-cool character.

Itachi Uchiha (Naruto Franchise) Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Itachi murdered his entire clan, including his parents, and tormented his little brother. There's no possible way there's any decency in his heart, right? Well, there is. He was ordered to do so and was backed into a corner. He really had no other choice.

In order to save the village he loved, he had to murder his own people. His care towards the village, despite his initial bitter attitude, made him a great character.

Levi (Attack on Titan) Levi Ackerman is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama. He accompanies the main protagonists in the second half of season 1. His most notable feature is being "Humanity's strongest".

Levi had a hellish life, and despite that, he remained sane. Kudos to him. Even though many scouts find him frightening or uncaring, he does have a softer side. Maybe he could show that softer side if there weren't titans roaming around.

Takashi Morinozuka (Ouran Highschool Host Club)

Takashi might seem like the tall stern one with unruly behavior. He rarely speaks and often just gives one-word answers. But he's very caring towards his friends, especially his cousin Honey.

He tries to protect the Host Club, which he considers family, and he is my favorite host.

Hakuya Mitsumine (Engaged to the Unidentified)

This man can go from being a serious high school student to being a shy boy. He's very patient and doesn't lose control over his feelings. He does show some emotion to characters like Kobeni and his little sister Mashiro. Seeing him with these two felt like such a treat.

You know he's caring but doesn't always feel the need to show it. Yet they're fine with it.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji (Classroom of the Elite)

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji is basically a Kuudere. He speaks when necessary, keeps almost the exact same face (not even showing one emotion to others) for the entire series. He's direct and mysterious, and nobody quite knows his past.

He's also really intelligent when it comes to plans, etc. He's cold and distant, and he is very talented. This is just my opinion, though.

An inconspicuous student who is very poor at communicating with other people even if he wants to, thus he tends to isolate himself. His emotions are hard to read. He received "perfectly intermediate" scores on his entrance examination. Academically and athletically, he is average.

Decim (Death Parade) Decim (デキム Dekimu) is the bartender of Quindecim and an acting arbiter for the dead. His faction deals with people who have died at the same time.

He's a serious man when it comes to his job and doesn't bring up his own personal feelings. Being an arbiter for the dead will do that to you. His personality and emotions show best when he's around Chiyuki. He does show some care towards some customers.

The Contenders
Katsuhira Agata (Kiznaiver)

It doesn't seem to matter what Katsuhira is going through. He rarely shows his emotions at all. But he does risk his own life for his friends. I like how he gets along with some characters but not everyone. It makes him feel more human.

A lot of his actions feel human. For example, when Chidori confesses her love to him and wants him to be his normal happy self, he refuses to change who he is just because of some girl.

Mikaela Hyakuya (Owari no Seraph) Mikaela Hyakuya (Japanese: 百夜 ミカエラ, Hyakuya Mikaera), born as Mikaela Shindo (進藤 ミカエラ, Shindō Mikaera), is a main character in the anime and manga series, "Seraph of the End". He is Yuichiro's best friend and one of the survivors of the Hyakuya Orphanage... read more
