Killua Zoldyck is one of Hunter X Hunter's main characters and arguably its most popular. Killua was born into the infamous Zoldyck family of assassins and is recognised as an individual with limitless potential. Throughout his journey with Gon, Killua has excelled in learning Nen and perfecting his craft.
Itachi Uchiha of Naruto was different to almost every other shinobi. His time on screen was limited yet memorable and Itachi's fights were more focused on dialogue than the actual battle.
Jujustu Kaisen' s Sukuna is the physical embodiment of evil and is willing to slaughter anyone - including women and children. So it's tough to admit that the King Of Curses possesses a cool aura that makes him an endearing character. Aside from his supreme power, what makes Sukuna so fascinating is his capricious existence.

Anime is an elaborate form of animation with its bright colors and vivid imagination. Combining the thematic elements of fiction and fantasy with science to give a distinctive feel.

Naruto grew up feared and shunned by his fellow villagers because of the nine-tailed fox malevolent spirit sealed inside his body. Under the mentorship of Kakashi, he learns to overcome many obstacles for a carefree soul to handle. In his prankish and ramen loving character, an ambitious, loftier Naruto is hidden, trying to achieve his life goal and lead his village is no romantic fantasy. His determination is so strong that his character becomes the very epicenter of persistence in life, as he often announces, “I’m going to make everyone recognize my existence!”.
A steadfast, realistic, and empathetic character expresses no fear, anxiety, and no glaring weakness. He’s a veteran and knows his stuff is through everything. Levi is always focused on the task finding no time for humor or banter. With virtually no social skills and can be considered a sincere man.
Killua Zaoldyeck (Hunter X Hunter) 1. Light Yagami (Death Note) Devilish, determined, and calculating to revamp the world in his own image, Light Yagami was the force behind the success of Death Note.
Naruto is a pure goofball, but when it comes to his capabilities, he’s the by far the most determined and fierce fighter I’ve ever seen in the anime world. He’s an idealistic fool, but it’s hard not to admire the code of honor that goes with it.
He is reasonably tall, quite muscular, with a well-built body for his age. He is the son of Endeavor (Enji Todoroki), the Flame Hero. However, Shoto grew up resenting his father as a result of the lifetime abuse he endured from his father, both physical and verbal. He is half cold and half hot, a combination of ice Quirk of his mother and fire Quirk of his father. He’s raised by Endeavor for the sole purpose of surpassing All Might and be a successor to him. He hates his father for only viewing him as a tool and as a rebellion, vows to become the number one her without ever using his fire abilities.
Sakamoto is easily the coolest guy in anime and it's not hard to see why. His intelligence, great looks and unconventional ways of solving problems all cinch him the easy win.
1. Kaede Rukawa. Rukawa is determined to become the best high school basketball player in all of Japan and he definitely has the skill set required. He is what we would definitely call old school cool. via: Imgur.
Levi . This Attack on Titan character is pretty much the most popular character in the series (yep, even more popular than Eren and Mikasa,) he comes with the perfect nickname, "humanity’s strongest soldier.". via: Imgur. 5. Revy. Revy is easily one of the most popular characters in all of anime.
Revy is easily one of the most popular characters in all of anime. She's the very definition of badass as a merciless, sadistic, and highly competitive character. She is easily the deadliest character in Black Lagoon and the perfect character to kick off a list of badass and cool anime characters.
These are the top ten coolest anime/manga characters. 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 likeable. Go Vegeta.
Vegeta is the coolest character in DBZ, GT, Super and probably DB if he was in it.
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.
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.
8 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 makes me keep watching it. Honestly I don't care about the other characters.
2 Itachi Uchiha - Naruto series Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. If someone murders their family for a mission, watch out. He's a badass.
16 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. He might not be the coolest but it's his personality is what makes him ace for the top. He is the one who probably can beat Naruto and Ichigo.
Sure, there are many anime characters who are wildly famous and provide the engine for a commercial machine, but sales and marketing don't make a character great. Skillful writing, design, and ingenuity make a character great.
Major Motoko Kusanagi is the driving force behind the Ghost in the Shell (See it on Amazon) franchise. The story often descends into long dialogue full of political drama, but Motoko keeps things interesting. She's not just a participant in all the political intrigue, she's a master of it, proving that she's more than a pretty face behind a gun. She's also a very capable detective, often going solo to root out the truth behind the cases she's working. And she does it all while surrounded by a heavily male-centric supporting cast. Motoko was a stunning example of a strong female character that didn't need to have her feminism make a statement. She simply was who she was, and everyone respected that without question.
Kakashi. First anime appearance: Naruto, 2002. It's tough to outshine a lead character in his own series, but Kakashi pulled it off and often outranked Naruto in popularity polls (See Naruto on Amazon). He's a complex character, with an iconic character design and a laid back attitude that just exudes cool.
Afro by himself would be an interesting guy, but he's made even more remarkable by the inclusion of Afro's alter ego Ninja Ninja, who provides colorful commentary on Afro's thoughts and actions. Where Afro is mirthless and mute, Ninja Ninja is irreverent and gabby, providing much needed comedy relief in the face of all this slicing and dicing. Ninja Ninja is either a complete figment of Afro's imagination or some kind of nature spirit guardian thing that is a manifestation of Afro's repressed thoughts. Either way, through him we get an even more interesting peek at who Afro is and what makes the man tick.
He's most frightening because he exposes the base human nature of his victims. Monster's remarkable story was almost entirely due to Johan, and Hollywood director Guillermo del Toro has teamed up with HBO to try to get a live action series based on the anime off the ground.
Some argue whether the series even counts as "real" anime because its development and release involved so many American parties. But the series was adapted from a Japanese manga, directed by a Japanese anime director, and produced by well-known Japanese anime studio GONZO. So it's definitely anime, and one of the more interesting ones of recent times. Afro himself is the strong silent type, preferring to let his sword do the talking. But when he does speak, the words that flow are spoken with single-minded focus. He's only got two things on his mind; vengeance, and the Number One Headband: the sacred headband said to bestow great powers upon its owner.
Afro. First anime appearance: Afro Samurai, 2007. The only anime character voiced by one Bad Ass Mother******, Samuel L. Jackson. Afro Samurai (See it on Amazon) was a fresh, modern take on the samurai genre and it featured a man who's probably the first black male title character in an anime.
Starting off this list is the class clown of anime who can make anyone laugh or even cry at the drop of a hat. Gintama alone is a series known as the king of anime comedy, infamous for its surreal humor, loveable characters, and insurmountable amount of pop culture references that even put Family Guy to shame.
Leading the series' motley crew of clowns is the "White Demon" himself, Sakata Gintoki. Once a revolutionary during the alien invasion version of Japan's Edo period, Gin now finds himself doing "odd jobs" across town just to make ends meat, whether it's assisting in a sushi shop, solving local detective cases, or fighting off aliens. What helps elevate Gin to this list is his ability to pull off straight faced jokes, ecstatic straight man routines, and endearing, stoic lines, playing cool as both the humble fool and hard boiled badass with such mastery that Gin really sees no equal within his industry.
Updated May 20th, 2020: Much like any other industry, the anime world has a competitive atmosphere whose landscape is constantly shifting. And while the studios may compete for a share of their audience, anime characters themselves also indirectly compete for attention, with the faces of the industry constantly changing within the fans' eyes. As such, this list will be adding a few more faces that have risen among the anime ranks, as well as adjusting for new rankings and votes within MyAnimeList.
Though the series tries to relegate him as Gon Freecss' sidekick, Killua managed to grab a lot of attention for his mysterious family history, lethal talent, and constant contemplation of purpose and morality.
And while each member of its eclectic cast has played a part in defining the series, its main man will always be the pro gamer himself , Kirito .
As hard as it is to admit, judging an anime is not always about the quality of the writing or animation. More often than not, it brings fans of any age back to the wild tribalism of their middle school lunch room as dominance is decided, not by wit or strength, but by a popularity contest. Which kid had the coolest shoes? Who had a cookie in their Lunchables? Whose dad "works at Nintendo"?
Sasuke Uchiha is one of the most famous edge lords in all of anime, but he wouldn't be what he is today without the older brother that he probably stole mixtapes and t-shirts from.
