Top 10 Best Male Anime Characters

You see a lot of people with their opinion but lets honestly see who is everyone's favorite.
The Top Ten
1 L - Death Note L Lawliet, exclusively known by the mononym L, is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.

Dude, L is far smarter than almost every character here. He should be at least three positions higher. Naruto and Ichigo are rather silly. They can't even compare with L, who is acknowledged as a genius. As for Light, he only won because he was damn lucky.

In terms of intelligence, L is better. Light is intelligent too, but L's way of solving problems and the fact that he got that far without having a Death Note or a person willing to sacrifice themselves for him makes him better. Edward is just not as mature (intellectually) as L.

2 Vegeta - Dragon Ball Vegeta is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.

He's got the best character development for someone the creator didn't even like in the first place. It's hard not to like Vegeta, though. He's the most badass anime character.

Vegeta is just an awesome character, and when you hear piano music start playing, you know something crazy is about to happen!

The greatest DBZ character with the best character development.

3 Itachi Uchiha - Naruto Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Oh, come on! Naruto, Ichigo, and Natsu are smarter than Itachi? Are you kidding me? Naruto is not even fully grown up. He is just a kid compared to Itachi. Itachi is a much more complex character. Natsu is stupid. Yeah, he cares for his friends, he's kind, and all that stuff, but Itachi did what he did because he had to.

Not to mention that he loves his brother even more than he loves himself. That's kindness. But this is about intelligence, and Itachi is a pure genius. He's basically one of the most intelligent characters in anime history. The only character that comes to mind who's smarter than Itachi is L Lawliet, and that's because L was designed to be intelligent - his main point is intelligence.

As for Itachi's place on this list, it is COMPLETELY wrong!

4 Lelouch - Code Geass Lelouch Lamperouge, whose real name is Lelouch vi Britannia, is the title character and protagonist of the Sunrise anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.

How can any self-respecting girl dislike Lelouch? Lelouch goes beyond being extraordinarily attractive. His intelligence is charming, and his choices can only lure girls in even more. His willpower is remarkable, and you know, some girls aren't interested in athletic ability.

Easily the best anime character because of how multi-dimensional and interesting he is. What he does and goes through throughout the series is so gripping and basically makes the show.

I love Lelouch. He is so smart. His actions are unpredictable, and he's a genius. He's the best! It's amazing how, in the end, he sacrifices himself. He becomes the bad guy and ends his life for the sake of the world. Lelouch is amazing.

5 Goku - Dragon Ball Son Goku (Kakarrot) is the main protagonist in Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama in 1984. He has many abilities like, super strength, utilization of ki, flight, teleportation, super speed, enhanced reflexes, and Super Saiyan transformation that increase strength, speed, and durability... read more

Goku is my pick. He is basically the perfect human.

1. He's kind and stops any problems people are having, making him a nice guy and not a douchebag.
2. Super powerful and amazing.
3. He has handsome looks and an amazing smile and personality.

Those three reasons are why I love Goku. He is one hell of a character.

He has all the power in the universe and is still as pure as when he was a child. His determination makes him unstoppable.

Simply the greatest ever and most influential.

6 Light Yagami - Death Note Light Yagami is a fictional character and the protagonist of the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.

Light is an AWESOME character and certainly the most interesting. He should be much higher on the list. He is brilliant and had, at first, a good motive for using the Death Note, but certainly, power went to his head. However, that's why he is the best.

He made you think and deeply analyze human behavior when it comes to handling great responsibilities. He is the protagonist of the series, yet he is the "bad guy," and that usually doesn't happen. At first, you do want him to get away with it. I truly supported him till the end because he made me like him.

But it is just a kick-ass anime. People shouldn't hate him so much. Whether you fancied him or not, he was a brilliant and unique character... certainly the best.

7 Ichigo Kurosaki - Bleach Ichigo Kurosaki is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.

Ichigo is amazing! Handsome, funny, and even smart, he protects those that he loves. I love the fact that he's so stubborn. Also, his seiyuu makes him sound so cool! Long live Ichigo!

Ichigo Kurosaki is a good fighter, and in the first episode, he even almost killed himself saving his sister when Rukia said that transferring her powers to him could kill him! So I think he should at least be in the top 2 or 3. Thank you for reading.

Ichigo should be higher than this!

8 Trunks - Dragon Ball Trunks is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.

If we're talking about Mirai Trunks, hell yeah! He's the real deal.

Present Trunks is hella cool, too! The coolest kid on the show.

9 Deidara - Naruto Deidara is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles.

Deidara is a character extraordinaire. He has a free-wheeling personality, arrogant and sly, with a speech mannerism, saying 'Hmm.' Deidara is a dazzling artist who creates clay bombs and flying mounts and engages in exciting fights.

He's really attractive with his cute face and long, elegant blond hair. I love this guy.

Deidara is hot. Long elegant hair, cute face, splashy personality. The colorful and explosive artist of the Akatsuki.

10 Edward Elric - Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric, commonly nicknamed Ed, is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its adaptations created by Hiromu Arakawa.

Edward has a tragic past and is faced with so much, but he perseveres through everything with incredible determination and strength. He will do anything to protect not only the people he cares about but also anyone innocent, and he always sticks to his morals.

He sometimes acts aloof, sometimes immature, but really he is a loyal and caring soul who has experienced great hardship. Oh yeah, and he is the youngest ever state alchemist in history and is a complete badass.

I loved his role in the anime, and he was the best character in the whole series. Besides that one guy, I forgot his name.

The Contenders
11 Naruto Uzumaki - Naruto Naruto Uzumaki is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

I think that Naruto deserves to be the best, and in all truth, I think he is. Naruto had the Nine-Tails sealed in him when he was a child. He grew up without any parents or family and was constantly hated and abused by everybody, and he didn't even understand why!

Most people would do millions of things to deal with what he went through: turn to a life of crime, depression, and maybe even 'attempts'! But no, Naruto strived to be acknowledged while still keeping his happy, persistent self. And even after everything he went through, he never gave up! Naruto proved many things.

He is an amazing inspiration. Some just pick guys they like for their looks! Well, Naruto has got looks and personality! He's the best by far!

12 Sesshomaru - Inuyasha He is the older half-brother of the hanyō Inuyasha and the firstborn son of Tōga.

Unlike many other yōkai, Sesshōmaru had no interest in possessing even a single shard of the Shikon Jewel to enhance his powers and considered yōkai who sought its abilities only to strengthen themselves as... read more

He can kill the living and he can revive the dead. In the Inuyasha universe, that's pretty darn close to being G-

13 Sasori - Naruto Sasori is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
14 Kakashi Hatake - Naruto Kakashi Hatake is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. In the story, Kakashi is the teacher of Team 7, consisting of the series' primary characters, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno.

He is the best anime character ever. He is powerful, popular, and smart. He brings humor to the series, his style is iconic, and he has a truly depressing backstory. And he is the best among all the characters that possess such traits.

Kakashi is literally the best. Some people may find him "useless" without his Sharingan, but, excuse me!? He lost everybody he loved and would do anything for a friend in need! He would probably help you set your damn mind straight.

Strongest Jonin in the Leaf Village, 6th in line to be Hokage, and he reads romance books while fighting his enemies because they are so little threat to him.

15 Inuyasha - Inuyasha

He is really something, and of course, he is getting Kagome. So he is super special. Yes, he is rude, moody, childish, and jealous but still the best at being who he is.

It was really sad to know about his past and how he was rejected by everyone. He wants to be strong so that he'll be able to protect the people who matter to him. What else do you people want? Come on, vote for him, please.

I like him when he becomes human with long black hair at the first moon, but I like his dog ears too. He's so funny.

16 Duke Devlin - Yu-Gi-Oh!

Where's the rest of the 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' (male) gang at!? *finds Yami Yugi and searches for Joey, Tristan, Seto, etc.*

17 Marik Ishtar - Yu-Gi-Oh!
18 Roronoa Zoro - One Piece Roronoa Zoro, nicknamed "Pirate Hunter" Zoro, is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.
19 Spike Spiegel - Cowboy Bebop
20 Himura Kenshin - Rurouni Kenshin

Gentle. I gotta vote for him. I learned from him that the past is a part of our life for which we must still proceed to pay for our mistakes.

Oro? This guy deserves to be much higher on this list.

21 Monkey D. Luffy - One Piece Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy is a fictional character and the protagonist of the One Piece manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.

Why is Luffy not #1? Is everyone blind or something?

Luffy is the best! I thought he should have gotten first place!

22 Hiei - YuYu Hakusho

He makes the color black look cool with an undefiant attitude that says, Don't mess with me. He's a top-notch comrade of Yusuke. He looks like he doesn't care, but he thinks of everyone close to him as precious. He's cute, especially when he looks embarrassed.

23 Eren Yeager - Attack on Titan Eren Yeager, spelled Eren Jaeger in the Funimation dub, is a fictional character appearing as the protagonist from the manga series Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama.
24 Piccolo - Dragon Ball Piccolo is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He first appeared in chapter 161 of the Dragon Ball manga in the Shonen Jump magazine on February 22, 1988. He is a member of the alien Namekian race and has abilities such as ki manipulation, regeneration, telepathy,... read more
25 Rin Okumura - Blue Exorcist Rin Okumura is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Blue Exorcist created by Kazue Kato. He's known for being the son of satan and trying to kill him. He is the main Protagonist in Blue Exorcist. His notable feature is the blue sword in which he draws when in trouble

Just look at perfection, please. Rin Okumura has to be one of the hottest anime guys I have ever seen in my whole life!

He's cute, badass, half-demon, half-human, with skills with swords, etc. His features are just adorable! Especially his beautiful, bright blue eyes! And I just love his raven black hair.

He wears a blue hoodie (when he's not in uniform).

He has messy black hair, blue eyes, and a tail. He clips his hair back so he can read. He cooks like a boss. He's full of angst but still gets happy over silly things. He's clumsy and reckless. He gives people dumb nicknames.

I JUST LOVE RIN SO MUCH. HE'S ADORABLE.
