Top 10 Best Fruits Basket Characters

Oh, come on! Who doesn't like Kyo? He has a horrible temper, and he might argue with Yuki very much, but deep down, he really does care about people. I don't exactly blame him for getting mad at people so easily. He was blamed for his mother committing suicide just because he was born in the year of the cat!

Forgive me if this is inaccurate (I still have yet to finish the manga, and I haven't watched the anime yet), but I think I am clearly getting my point across!

He is an amazing person on the inside and the outside. Although he's gone through so much, he tries to be strong for everyone. Although he may fight and lose his temper, he has a kind, caring heart.

I also believe the reason he hates Yuki is because deep down he respects and admires his strength. The only way to gain respect from him and everyone else is to beat Yuki and win his place in the zodiac. That's how most relate to him, just trying to fit into the mold society or others set out for us. In truth, we will never fit the mold of life and never be perfect because we are each our own being. People need to respect that and stop wasting time and energy to make a mold we'll never fit. - Adelia Mau

Initially, Tohru's kindness seemed so naive to me and even irritated me, but I realized she's such a real character. She's unlike many shoujo characters who initially seem like her. Her compassion and love stem from a deep, raw pain, and for anyone else, it might have turned them spiteful or selfish. But her manner of loving is so whole and mutual.

She's a beautiful character through and through. I'm so glad (spoiler ahead) that she ends up with Kyo, who she loves so dearly.

Tohru is one of my favorite characters. She may seem like an idiot or stupid at times, but I love her personality. She's so cute. She is my favorite character the same way that Kyo is her favorite person.

She is so pretty, and she didn't reject Kyo's true form. She is what I call a "friend," a friend who would stay by Kyo's side. She makes me feel happy no matter what the situation is.

I love how his character developed, and I'm even more glad they didn't turn his and Kyo's dynamic into a love triangle with Tohru. This choice allowed him to develop further on his own. Love him and Machi!

I really like Yuki, and I'm starting to think that all the comments on here are made by the same person or something. Most people have no problem with Yuki. I searched it up, and I couldn't find any hate directed at him. So, I'm actually assuming that these are just written by some angry fans.

Anyways, Yuki isn't perfect. He has his flaws. I can name three. He has low self-esteem, bottles up his emotions, and isn't very open. So, no, he's NOT a Gary Stu.

Some people say he self-pities. He doesn't do that often, though, and believe me, I've checked. Also, he has an incredibly dark past, so...

Some people don't like Yuki, partially because Kyo hates him. I have no problem with Kyo, and even though a lot of people like Kyo better, that doesn't mean Yuki's a piece of trash. He's a good character and pretty amazing. And it's not his fault the rat possesses him (though I can't blame Kyo for having a grudge against him).

She is dark and awesome and knows Tohru Honda-san better than others.

Most beautiful woman ever in this anime and has a strong personality.

Saki Hanajima is a psychic girl who has the ability to send out electric waves.

Shigure is basically the whole reason why I kept laughing while watching the anime. I LOVE how he keeps trying to avoid his editor! He's also cute as a dog.

There's no question Shigure is the sexiest guy on Fruits Basket! He's got a great face and body. His character is funny with a hint of heartfelt emotion, and he's just adorable!

Shigure is amazing! How is he fourth? He should be first. He is so funny!

I love Akito's aesthetic. He's so frail and isolated yet so powerful and abusive. Darkness and pain are synonymous with him, and he is the source of most of the characters' suffering.

I also like the fact that he turns out to be female as well as his complicated relationship with Shigure. He is certainly not blameless for being abusive, but I almost admire how he takes pride in the suffering of the curse, as if he feels it is what binds the Sohma family together.

I love Akito because she has such depth to her character. Many hate her because of what she does, but it's not her fault. It's the fault of her mother and father. I just love characters who have terrible emotional challenges because they just make the character super interesting to learn about.

I blame Akito for nothing, and I absolutely love her.

Funniest character by far. He reminds me of my brother, actually, which is ironic. He is so kind, even when he's called foolish for doing so, and stays honest and loyal despite people calling him stupid. He's such a sweetheart.

The reason why I probably like him so much is because he reminds me of my older brother, which also hurts a little at the same time because I see so much of him in him that when he gets hurt it hurts me.

He is a lot like me, with a normal side and a black side. All the quizzes I took about what character I was always result in Hatsuharu. He is so awesome and sometimes, he can be so calm it's creepy.

I think it's cute how he cares for his friends so much, like when Momiji was being bullied by the president, when Yuki was being tortured by Ayame, and how he cares so, so much for Rin, even if it means going against Akito.

Uo is hilarious and such a strong character. She takes such good care of Tohru, and her relationship with Kyo is fab.

Arisa's past as a Yankee makes me cry. Oh, she's pretty nice.

I like how he tries his best to improve his past and become a better person. I kind of see myself in him, so I really like his story. I also love how devoted he is to something he likes. Though he wasn't able to become a responsible brother, he was a responsible student council member and a responsible human.

Most humans who have had a bad past with someone would just let it go, but he had the courage to make things normal between him and his brother.

I was going to vote for Shigure, but then I remembered that Ayame actually makes me laugh the most. Especially his high school stories, like the time he kept those students from getting expelled for going to the red-light district and how he convinced that teacher to let him keep his long hair.

His voice, jokes, and ridiculousness are just too funny.

Kagura might be a bit "unlovable" sometimes, but she can still be an understanding person who can relate to Kyo properly, like in the 26th episode of the anime. In the manga, she listens to what Kyo has to say in the end and gives up on him.

She has known Kyo since childhood. She also accepted Kyo for what he is, so I'm glad he didn't have to bear rejection from her. But, I admit I don't think Kagura is funny.

The ability to love someone and be persistent about them is not something that everyone can do. So you have got to appreciate that part of her.

Kisa is actually pretty. Is she really as "odd" as her cold classmates think she is? They don't understand her. In my opinion, Kisa is an innocent, pure-hearted little girl. Hiro and Kisa make a great couple.

Kisa is innocent and cute. Why is she bullied? She deserves happiness. Kisa is also one of the best Fruits Basket characters.
