Top Ten Coolest Anime and Manga Characters

These are the top ten coolest anime/manga characters.
The Top Ten
1 Vegeta - Dragon Ball Z Vegeta is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.

Vegeta is the coolest character ever in Dragon Ball Z. He's so powerful, and his arrogant personality makes him strangely likable. Go Vegeta!

Vegeta is the coolest character in DBZ, GT, Super, and probably DB if he was in it.

He's the coolest, sexiest, hottest, and most badass character in DBZ.

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

His style with the Akatsuki is unreal. His look with the markings makes him look cool without any conditions. He is calm and very wise with all of his quotes. His Mangekyou has the coolest look. His Susanoo looks the best. The way he uses Amaterasu is badass. He made crows cool and popular.

Finally, his story surpasses anything in anime. Killing everyone you care about, besides your brother, whom you torture for his own good, and then dying for your brother and for the people of the village that hate you - Itachi Uchiha is the definition of cool.

3 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.

He taught me that weirdness can be a type of charm too! He's my favorite anime male character!

He made being weird not just normal, but cool and badass.

He is so damn intelligent, which makes him cool as well as smart.

4 Roronoa Zoro Roronoa Zoro, nicknamed "Pirate Hunter" Zoro, is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda.

Bruh, just LOOK at his pic. If that's not the definition of badass, I don't know WHAT is.

5 Levi Ackerman - 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".

All my friend's conversations are about Levi. There are ten different Levi Ackerman fan clubs in my school. For Halloween, almost everyone in my neighborhood was dressed as Levi and doing fabulous kicks around the block. Levis, Levis everywhere (it was beautiful).

Levi is so chill. If badass were a person, it would be him. Even saying his name is cool. I could say it one million times and wouldn't get tired of it. Levi Ackerman x 1,000,000.

Always annoyed, always angry, looks badass, always calm, and cares about his comrades more than himself. Despite being short, he is by far the most skilled. Levi, the fictional character who has more fangirls than any celebrity (except some).

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

Why wasn't he added before? He's the 3rd coolest DBZ character after Vegeta and Piccolo, and the smartest kid.

7 Goku - Dragon Ball Z 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

He's naive and innocent, but on the battlefield, he's the most badass and formidable being in the entire world. Just look at his SSJ3 appearance with all those sparkling lightnings, majestic hair, and cool face! He's the kindest friend but is also the most dangerous enemy ever.

Because Goku is so naive and innocent, people keep forgetting how badass and cool he can become when he gets serious in fights. When he's angry, his Super Saiyan mode looks really cool and formidable. Not to mention his badass SSJ3 transformation as well.

8 Kenpachi Zaraki - Bleach Kenpachi Zaraki is a fictional character and an antihero in the anime and manga series Bleach created by Tite Kubo.
9 Aizen - Bleach
10 Sasuke Uchiha - Naruto Sasuke Uchiha is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Sasuke and Itachi are the only characters in Naruto that make me keep watching it. Honestly, I don't care about the other characters. He isn't annoying, he isn't useless, and he doesn't care about anyone. Cool, calm, and keeps moving forward to accomplish his goal.

Sasuke is the eye candy, cool, strong guy of the show who played a great role in captivating the interest of the viewers.

This guy right here is the true definition of what an anime bad boy truly is. So go screw yourselves, haters!

The Contenders
11 Mikasa Ackerman - Attack on Titan Mikasa 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. She accompanies the main protagonist Eren Jaeger. Her most notable feature is the red scarf that she wears. She is one of the most strongest... read more

She is the first female character that is badass.

The coolest female character ever!

Mikasa should be WAY higher on the list.

12 Sanji - One Piece Vinsmoke Sanji, most commonly known by his moniker "Black Leg" Sanji, is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. He is the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as the former sous chef of the Baratie. He is also the third son of the Vinsmoke Family, thus making him... read more

He is the coolest in One Piece. He is a bit less strong than others, but he is strong, flirty, cool, badass, stylish, and everything a character should be.

Everything about him is so cool. The way he talks, the way he dresses, the way he fights, the way he smokes, the way he looks, the way he cooks, etc.

The way he respects and treats women... This guy is the best!

13 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.

This whole list seems preposterous. For starters, Might Guy? Really? His whole character is based upon being outshone by Kakashi in a "cool-factor" kind of way. I hate to be one of those people who does/says this, but Kakashi should definitely be above him!

I don't want to push Kakashi onto you people, but I do want you to think about this list a little bit. Are these people really "cool"? Or are they just your favorite characters?

The king himself. Calm, smart, and kind. Being tortured by life, he still didn't go mad and join the darkness. And his style is exceptional. Still to this day, he is cosplayed by thousands.

14 Spike Spiegel - Cowboy Bebop
15 Guts - Berserk
16 Gaara - Naruto Gaara is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is the jinchuuriki of the one-tailed shukaku and can control sand that is stored in his gourd.

The evil who turned good. His story says it all. He was the definition of evil, turned into a broken hero.

17 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.

For those saying that Luffy "just ate a fruit and instantly got stronger," please watch more of One Piece. When he was a child, his grandpa, who is considered to be the hero of the marines, trained him. It wasn't just training. It was extreme training for a child (maybe 8-10 years old, I forgot). Like what, you say?

Being thrown into the forest alone at night, tied to a balloon to the sky, fighting wild animals (tigers, lions, etc.), being thrown into a bottomless pit, and more.

If you watch more of OP, you'll see a lot of characters who ate the devil fruits didn't get strong because they didn't have training or didn't know how to use their power and were defeated easily.

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

The gruff and rebellious attitude, yet caring side, make Ichigo so cool. He has a cool and unique sense of street style, plus he just exudes badass.

I just can't think Pokemons are cooler than him. He's just so cool, funny, smart, and caring. And I'm not a groupie. I just say that Ichigo is one of the best characters I have ever seen.

He is the coolest hero of all time. Way better than that dumbass Sasuke.

19 Byakuya Kuchiki

He's plainly awesome, great at strength, and should get a higher position.

20 Tendo Pein - Naruto

The way Pein carries himself with an air of confidence and emotionlessness is super cool. On top of that, he's got crazy powers that he uses while barely moving, and he has the Rinnegan. Too cool if you ask me - way cooler than Sasuke.

I think he should either be number one or number two, right behind Itachi.

A super cool guy. Tendo is sharp-looking, deep-voiced, imposing, and masterful. An Akatsuki leader who controls gravity.

21 Alucard - Hellsing Alucard is a fictional character and the protagonist and antihero of the Hellsing manga and anime series created by Kouta Hirano.

"Open Sesame! Good work, soldiers. Now good night." - Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate

22 Madara Uchiha - Naruto Madara Uchiha (うちはマダラ, Uchiha Madara) was the legendary leader of the Uchiha clan. He founded Konohagakure alongside his rival, Hashirama Senju, with the intention of beginning an era of peace. When the two couldn't agree on how to achieve that peace, they fought for control of the village,... read more

He's a god compared to Hashirama.

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

Well, the one who no one believed in but became the one who saved everybody. Cool also, thanks to his hair combined with his power.

He is cool because not only is he powerful, but he uses his power for good and is so great at it.

24 Deidara - Naruto Shippuden 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 so cool. He flies through the air on his clay birds with his long hair in the wind. He's a master of art and explosives, and a free spirit who enjoys battle.

25 Yami Bakura - Yugioh
