Top 10 Hottest Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) Characters

Black Butler (or Kuroshitsuji as it's known in Japan) is packed with unforgettable characters who are both compelling and easy on the eyes, making them all the more popular among fans.

Whether it's the allure of the mysterious Sebastian Michaelis or the eccentric charm of the Undertaker, each character brings their own style, charisma, and a good dose of intensity. These are the traits that make some characters truly stand out and make us love them even more.

The Top Ten

Sebastian Michaelis

Sebastian Michaelis (Japanese: セバスチャン・ミカエリス, Sebasuchan Mikaerisu) is the titular deuteragonist of the manga and anime series Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji). He serves as a demon butler and is a senior staff member of the Phantomhive household. His character is known for his efficiency, loyalty, and supernatural... read more

Sebastian Michaelis, where do I start with him? He's that perfect man who can charm you with the way he does things. He makes even being a butler look badass and awesome! But this is all just a mask. What we're really dealing with is a demon who is mystifying and sexy, even if he is supposed to be evil.
To us Sebby fangirls, he's that flawless and charming bad boy that we know we can never have in the real world.

Sebastian is every fangirl's dream guy: smart, sophisticated, can cook, clean, totally sexy, good in bed (ask the nun he fudged), sensitive about animals, and can kick some pretty badass. He is simply one hell of a butler! I'm so jealous of Ciel because he has that pack of hotness around him every day!
That's why I ship SebbyxCiel. They're both my favorite characters, and they're totally hot together. I wonder why they didn't have sex yet. The world will never know.
Ciel Phantomhive

Earl Ciel Phantomhive (Japanese: シエル・ファントムハイヴ, Shieru Fantomuhaivu) is the main protagonist of the manga and anime series Black Butler. He is the current head of the Phantomhive house, the notorious Queen's Watchdog, the owner of the Funtom Corporation, and an Aristocrat of Evil.... read more

At first, Sebastian's hotness overshadowed him. Sebastian has an overwhelming presence. Later, as I started to watch Ciel carefully, I started to notice how amazing he is. He is just human but has this confidence, strength, pride, and willpower that make him stand out so brightly that even Sebastian, a demon, would crave him that much!
It's just normal for a demon to be that amazing, but for a human, Ciel is far above average. Not to mention, he is cute, and looking at his father, I see a brilliant future.

Ciel is a cutie. He is way better than Alois. Why does he have to be after him?
He is a little distant from the other characters, but you can notice how attractive his character is. I love Sebastian, but I root for Ciel. You have to admit, there is some sexiness around him along with the cuteness.
Alois Trancy

Earl Alois Trancy (Japanese: アロイス・トランシー, Aroisu Toranshi) is the main antagonist of Season 2 of the anime series Black Butler. He is the head of the Trancy household and plays a central role in the storyline. His real name is Jim Macken (Japanese: ジム・マッケン, Jimu Makken).

Alois was pretty much a misunderstood character. In the first episode, Alois scared me, and I hated him for gouging Hannah's eye out for no reason. But as I continued watching, Alois started to appeal to me. His personality, looks, and past - everything! I loved him!
Now he's my favorite character of all time, with Ciel following closely behind. I'm really glad that Alois' soul went to Hannah, not jerk-face Claude, so that Alois could be reunited with the people who loved him. Who can't love Alois and his booty shorts? Nice legs.

Before watching his arc, I thought he was a perverted nuisance who would serve no purpose in my life. However, after I was able to learn more about him and his strange ways, I grew to love him and finally was able to see his attractive qualities.
Now, he is my favorite character ever and I love him a lot.
Lau Tao
Soma Asman Kadar

His childish way of acting combined with his great, caring, and kind heart is just too good not to like. His dark skin, beautiful eyes, and wavy purple ponytail hair are just to die for!
How can he NOT be on the list?

Soma might be childish, but he has a big heart and cares about the ones close to him. And he is pretty sexy.

He's just absolutely adorable. His charisma is so enchanting, not to mention DEM ABS in ch. 118!
Ronald Knox

Why is he not already on here? He reaps with a lawnmower, now that is badass. And he is very sexy. Sorry, but the half-black, half-blonde hair and his partier/player attitude - I just love him.

I love Ronald's personality. He has never been afraid to have fun. His two-colored hair and his charming smile make my heart melt.

The whole hotness about his appearance and his general attitude just pulls people in, you know?
Finnian

He is the sweetest and the nicest human ever! He is always concerned for other people despite his hard life. He loves animals and gardening, and he is absolutely adorable!
What more could a girl ask for?

Who couldn't love Finny?! He's so adorable and strong! I mean, being able to pick up a tree and destroy an enemy with it in minutes is amazing. But you can also look cuter than a puppy dog after? GREAT!
Finny is just KAWAII, no doubt!

He is so cute, and who doesn't love a strong and cute boy? No one!
Undertaker

Undertaker literally should be #1. Sebastian second. In the Black Butler manga and movie, "Book of Atlantic," Undertaker reveals his face near the end, and he's hot! Not only did the manga state that he is the most (or one of the most) beautiful characters, but even Grell didn't want to work with him until he saw his face. Grell loves working with handsome men.
Undertaker may be a crazy character, but he's a true beauty. When they show their true faces, they're absolute beauties. His eyes are a great feature. From his hair to his face to his entire body, Undertaker is the hottest. He's even on my top ten hottest anime guys list. Not the website, though.
Grell Sutcliff

Grell Sutcliff (Japanese: グレル・サトクリフ, Gureru Satokurifu) is a major antagonist in the manga and anime series Black Butler. She is a part of the Retrieval Division of the Grim Reaper Dispatch.
Grell initially posed as Angelina Dalles's butler and conspired with her as Jack the Ripper. As a result... read more

Grell is very beautiful, even though he believes he's a girl. It isn't fair that people discriminate against him because he's himself. He deserves a chance. I, unlike most, can see past that and see his inner awesomeness.

Grell Sutcliff is 3rd in my manga books. His love for Sebastian makes him stand out, and his personality is so much better than Ciel's.
Although Ciel is smart, you can't say that he is entirely hot. He really should be further down the list.

Because. While Sebastian is pretty hot, he's just so overrated and rather boring to me. I personally don't really like Ciel either.
Grell's personality is just what stands out and makes him (her?) hot to me. Also, that chainsaw is sexy. And he makes a good comic relief character.
William T. Spears

How is William so far down on this list? I love him! He's tall, sexy, handsome, and badass... and his voice! His voice could cure any disease. And when he wears pajamas!

I have always enjoyed the fact that William has always been a very focused person. He is the hottest to me because I have always found the Shinigami most attractive.

Okay... Lau is before him?!?!?! Hello! Willy most certainly beats him at least.

The Contenders

Snake

I honestly fell in love when I first saw him! I love the fact that he lets the snakes talk through him. Honestly, I don't think him being a snake/human is weird - it's actually pretty awesome.
Such an amazing character and, for me, definitely #1!

Really? Snake is ranked at this number? All I got to say is that Snake is a sexy beast, literally. For all the Snake fan girls out there, Snake is #1 to us.

I know! Snake is so... dare I say beautiful? He worked at a freak show and has scales. To me, that is just amazing.
Agni

I voted for Sebastian, but I have to admit, Agni is also one sexy character. He's such a considerate man and knows where his place in life is. In a couple of ways, he's almost like Sebastian himself. While it's true that he isn't a demon, he has a hand blessed by the gods, which means that he is granted the ability to fight and perform tasks with inhumane talent.
If I were in the manga and witnessed the two butlers fighting each other, I would be enraptured in the battle and wouldn't be able to keep my eyes off of them.

Agni is awesome. He's nice to all the servants and really hot. Plus, his skills are on par with Sebastian, a demon.
Edward Midford

He's really hot. Not to mention he's so loyal, strong, and talented. Not to mention he's undeniably hot and can use a sword.
He's sort of my perfect guy.

Any votes for Lizzy's older brother, anyone? Personally, I think he is one sexy and hot man.

Chapter 118 is all you need to see to know that Edward is the hottest.
Angelina Dalles

I have always felt bad for Angelina and what she has gone through. It took me a while to like her, but once I got to know her more, I got attached. I then started to believe she was attractive, and she made it up there in my favorites. Her red hair and red eyes have always been beautiful to me.
Pluto

No votes for Pluto?
Ciel and Pluto are equally my favorites. I love Pluto because he is simply an interesting character. He is a demon hound, and his ability to transform from hound to human is so cool. While he doesn't talk, he expresses his emotions through actions. It's so cute the way he just wants to love Sebastian, but Sebastian rejects him because he doesn't like dogs.
Overall, I love that demon pooch.

I think Pluto is really cute! He needs more love! I'm sure many more people out there love him too!
We love you, Pluto!
Joker

CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Come on! Joker needs more love! His background story was just sad, and he took back what he did after Sebastian cut his normal arm off and let him bleed to death. I love his personality (I can relate to him on some level). I have never really liked Ciel very much (heartless and cruel), and Sebastian got on my last nerve after he killed Joker. For a guy who works at the circus, he has given me tons of nosebleeds and is so hot that I faint!
So what if he has a skeletal arm? I think it's pretty badass and cool. I sympathized with him a lot, understood him perfectly, felt sorry for him (his 'father' deserves what he got - poor children), and cried for months after he bled to death. Love you, Joker! Stay sexy!
Charles Grey

How is he not even on this list? With that long silver hair and gray eyes, he definitely tops Sebastian. He was never introduced in the anime, so I guess he's a sort of obscure character, but he's definitely the hottest.
Plus, he eats a ton and still manages that figure. What's not to love?

I love him. I love his childishness. He reminds me of myself. I'm pretty good with knives and swords. I do fencing, so that's kind of a cool coincidence. He's also carefree like me.
I love a bad boy. He's just so cute, though I can't say the same about myself. But he should be number one on the list.
Drossel Keins

Although his appearance was brief, he was gorgeous. His sad background and creepy doll-making power just make him even more attractive!

So I thought to myself, why don't I add Drossel Keinz to the list? Because what is there not to love about a creepy doll guy?

My baby needs more love. If you watch the subbed version, what part of his voice is not to die for? And he is a beautiful character in general.
Elizabeth Midford

What!? Why is Elizabeth ranked so low? 21 seriously? She is a master at sword fighting. She is so cool, badass, and hot. Literally, she is so pretty. Her love for Ciel is genuine, and she is not annoying at all.
Go watch Book of Atlantic. Her past is revealed, and the reason why she is so clingy and acts cute in front of Ciel is also revealed. She acts cute in front of Ciel because, at first, Ciel said he liked cute girls and thought strong girls were scary. When Elizabeth (or Lizzy) heard that, she felt awful because she was really strong at sword fighting, so she thought Ciel would hate her for that. She said, "I want to look cute in front of you till the end" or something.
She's conscious about her height and her sword skills. Put her higher on the list!
Doll

Yeah, she had a missing eye, but she was glamorous and a sweetheart. If I had to pick one girl from all of them in this series, it'd be Doll or maybe Elizabeth. I haven't read the manga - I don't have enough time or money for that nonsense right now. I bet Doll is a contortionist too.

She has beautiful eyes! (Well, she only has one, but whatever.) Definitely the most beautiful Black Butler female character in my opinion!
Mey-Rin

She is really good at using guns. She's just clumsy because she's not familiar with being a maid. When she takes off her glasses, she looks really pretty.

When she wears her glasses, she is the clumsy, cute little girl. But when she takes them off... BOOM, she is a hot badass.

With her glasses on, Mey-Rin is hot in a cute way. Then boom, she takes her glasses off, and badass Mey-Rin kicks in, making her as hot as ever.
I love it when she pulls her guns out!
Ran-Mao
Aleister Chamber

I always thought he was strange, and I still do, but based on attractiveness, he is up there. I like his golden hair and his purple/blue eyes.

It's basically part of his personality to be attractive, not to mention the fact that he is simply so suave and dashing.

He's like so hot. Come on, Sebastian is overrated. Look at him in the anime, and you'll see what I mean!
Hannah Annafellows
Dagger

A little bit of a spoiler, but the way he protected Beast was so cute, and he has such a kind heart. Also, he is nice and cute.
