Top 50 Best Aquarius Anime Characters Of All Time

 

People born between the dates of January 20th and February 18th are said to be Aquarius. Aquarius might sound like a water sign but is an air sign.

 

Aquarius is known to be a free thinker and innovator who do not shy down from standing up for themselves.

 

They are not always the best at interpersonal relationships but their intelligence helps them sail through somehow. It is easy to think of multiple anime characters who possess these Aquarius traits.

 

Given below is a specially curated list of only Aquarius anime characters from many of our favorite anime shows.

 

 

50. Kirihito Mori (Kamisama Kiss)

 

 

Kirihito from Kamisama Kiss is not exactly one of the main characters in the show. He dies pretty early on, but his presence is still maintained throughout the show as a demon takes over his body and uses it as his own.

 

Kirihito’s death was caused by an avalanche to which he fell victim while snowboarding. He struggled for his life in the hospital but eventually ended up dying.

 

He felt immensely guilty toward his mother who kept worrying about her son’s return without knowing he is dead; he carries this guilt even to the underworld.

 

In the underworld, when he comes across the soul of Akura-Ou, he requests him to send a message of apology to his mother.

 

Akura-Ou initially agrees just because of boredom but later he realizes that Kirihito’s body as a vessel would be more useful to him than he had anticipated.

 

 

49. Ren Jinguuji (Uta No Prince-Sama Maji Love 1000)

 

 

Ren is the typical popular guy at school. Besides being a member of the esteemed S-class, he is also a member of the idol group ‘Starish’.

 

Ren is tall and handsome with strawberry blond hair that comes down to his shoulders. Therefore, naturally, he is a hit with the ladies.

 

He is extremely flirtatious and known to be an avid smooth talker. He is often seen flattering women with his flirtatious smooth talk.

 

Ren is also extremely wealthy. He is the second son of the esteemed Jinguuji family and has no heavy responsibilities or financial concerns weighing him down.

 

This makes him a carefree and also somewhat apathetic character. However, meeting Haruka, made Ren re-discover his passion for music and singing.

 

 

48. Ramuda Amemura (Hypnosis Mic)

 

 

Hypnosis Mic is one of its kind; the anime world has never seen a hip-hop anime of this scale.

 

Being quite a niche, it failed to gain the popularity it deserved but it has a cult following nonetheless.

 

The anime features 4 main rap groups and Remuda Amemura is the leader of one of them. His group is called Fling Posse.

 

He is easily the cutest of all the hip-hop artists in the show. He has a childish and bright personality and is often represented by cute pastel colors.

 

However, Amemura is no pushover. He may have the appearance of a naïve teenager, but he can be quite witty and calculating whenever the need arises.

 

Apart from rapping, Amemura is also quite a talented fashion designer.

 

 

47. Kai Von Granzreich (The Royal Tutor)

 

 

The next character, Kai Von Granzreich, is literal royalty. He comes from the kingdom of Granzreich and is the second prince of this kingdom.

 

His looks match his stature as a prince. He is tall and well-built with dreamy, side-swept, blonde hair.

 

Even though he is only the second prince, his formidable physical stature and strength make him the strongest among all the royal siblings.

 

As for his personality, Kai can easily be misunderstood. He has a strong look on his face that makes people think that he is glaring.

 

He also comes off as fearsome and intimidating at most times when he is just a soft and kind-hearted prince.

 

However, his lack of communication skills often makes it hard for others to notice his warm personality.

 

 

46. Yuzuki Fuwa (Assassination Classroom)

 

 

There are a lot of characters in Assassination Classroom; since we have to consider an entire classroom, a lot of characters often tend to go unnoticed.

 

Fuwa is one of those characters who did not have a grand introduction. However, she got her opportunity to shine as the series progressed.

 

She is mostly a low-key character but her deductive and investigative skills are not to be taken lightly; these skills have often contributed towards saving the other students from danger.

 

As for her personality, Fuwa has a bright and energetic personality with a knack for solving riddles and mysteries.

 

She also loves reading manga as she makes quite a few references to ‘shonen jump’ in the anime.

 

 

45. Tsukuyo (Gintama)

 

 

Tsukuyo from Gintama is a strong and fierce female character. She heads the law enforcement group called Hyakka in the Yoshiwara district.

 

Hyakka is an all-female group that has been deployed by the Night King. Tsukuyo’s character is badass though she is not exactly the most loyal character.

 

She took very little time to change sides when the odds seemed bad. Nevertheless, she is still quite noble and works for the well-being of others.

 

Tsukuyo goes by the name of “courtesan of death”; she did not receive this name because of being an actual courtesan; she is called the courtesan of death because of how she saves multiple girls from unsavory patrons and is not afraid to be violent about it.

 

 

44. Wisely Kamelot (D.Gray-man)

 

 

Next on our list, we have an antagonist. Wisely wields the formidable power of the “Demon Eye” and was a powerful antagonist during the Exorcists Arc.

 

He is also the 5th disciple of the prestigious Noah family. Like most other members of the Noah family, Wisely harbors deep hatred towards all Innocence and Exorcists.

 

His three main powers are mind reading, mind manipulation, and mind investigation. He also has complete control over Akuma as a member of the Noah family.

 

Despite his immense powers and capabilities, Wisely does not appear too intimidating. He has the appearance of an aloof teenager and is often seen as distracted or lost in thought.

 

 

43. Lisa Yadomaru (Bleach)

 

 

Lisa Yadomaru is not one of the most memorable characters of Bleach but can we blame her? Bleach throws multiple great characters during each new arc.

 

Nevertheless, she is an interesting character who deserves our attention. Lisa is a visor but she initially started as a lieutenant of the 8th division squad of soul society, headed by Captain Kyoraku.

 

However, she swiftly rose through the ranks to become the captain. Even among the visors, Lisa is especially calm and calculative.

 

But at the same time, she is quite temperamental and irritable as well; we can always count on an Aquarius to give us the best of both worlds.

 

She may come off as cold and distant, but she cares deeply about those close to her.

 

 

42. Haruhi Fujioka (Ouran Highschool Host Club)

 

 

We have a lot of tomboys in the anime world but the character of Haruhi Fujioka has its way of standing out.

 

She initially started as pretty and feminine before joining Ouran High School. However, her appearance and personality underwent a drastic change after joining this prestigious high school.

 

Even though she comes from a middle-class family, among the elites of Ouran High School she is considered poor but even so, she is not a character that requires anyone’s pity.

 

Through some strange accident, Haruhi ends up joining the host club at Ouran Academy. She is expected to behave like an actual host and entertain ladies who come to talk and spend some time with charming young boys.

 

Though befuddled at first, Haruhi doesn’t seem to do a bad job in her new role.

 

 

41. Echidna (Re: Zero Season 2)

 

 

Echidna is a true Aquarius – highly intelligent and intimidatingly evil. She is often referred to as the witch of Greed and is a major villain in the anime.

 

She appears charming but is guilty of committing numerous vile atrocities against mankind; this includes straight-up manslaughter, psychological abuse, and even illegal experimentation.

 

Her greed for knowledge is endless and she will go through all means to acquire it. Like the other witches, Echidna too suffered greatly and was on the brink of death because of the evil witch Satella.

 

However, just in the nick of time, she was able to create a dream-like world to keep herself safe.

 

However, she is eventually resurrected back into the world of the living.

 

 

40. Ren Tsuruga (Skip-Beat)

 

 

Next on our list, we have got another Ren however, his real name is Kuon Hizuri. Ren is Kuon’s stage name which he uses as an actor for the LME company.

 

Ren is not only a highly acclaimed actor but has also been ranked as Japan’s most desirable man. He is generally strong-willed but sometimes his childish personality comes out as well.

 

He is often seen hiding his true self to please people and keep up his gentlemanly image in front of everyone.

 

And he is of course a great hit with the ladies as well. Ren’s integrity as an actor is truly commendable.

 

Not only does he take great pride in acting he also feels no need to respect people who do not show sincerity towards the art of acting; this was also the reason behind his initial conflict with the female protagonist Kyoko.

 

 

39. Juno (Beastars)

 

 

The anime Beastars has given us some very interesting and complex characters and Juno is certainly one of them.

 

She is a large gray wolf just like our beloved protagonist Legosi but their personalities are widely different. Compared to the socially awkward and introverted Legosi, Juno is jolly and naturally charismatic.

 

She is a girl on a mission and has important ambitions to achieve. She wished to become the future Beastar by competing with Louis to create a more fair world for the carnivores.

 

It might take the audience some time to see Juno’s charm as she can sometimes come off as self-centered; however, as the show progresses, she emerges as quite the lovable character.

 

 

38. Takayuki Kiryu (STEAL!)

 

 

Takayuki is one of the principal characters of the anime ‘STEAL!’. With the codename “Invisible Hacker”, Takayuki is a vital member of the group Griff.

 

He is extremely handy with technology and works for the police force in real life. Takayuki is not the friendliest person, he is usually cold and meritocratic.

 

He can even get aggressive at times especially when he needs to gain some information. Apart from being good at tampering with machines, Takayuki can also make bombs and is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

 

Takayuki has massive trust issues which are quite the Aquarius of him. He is skeptical of almost everyone and feels most comfortable relying on himself.

 

 

37. Mado Kureo (Tokyo Ghoul)

 

 

Mado Kureo is one of the most intimidating antagonists of the Tokyo Ghoul series. However, given the premise of this show, it is very hard to point fingers and call people heroes and villains.

 

Mado was a first-class ghoul investigator and the former partner of Koutarou Amon, also a ghoul investigator. Mado felt a psychotic rage toward ghouls and it was for good reason.

 

He had to watch his wife being murdered by the One-eyed Ghoul right in front of his eyes. He has been mercilessly killing ghouls since then and had lost most of his sanity in the process.

 

Mado’s appearance is as psychotic as his behavior. He has mid-length white hair and eyes that scream crazy. Despite that, Amon greatly valued him as a partner.

 

 

36. Koji Koda (My Hero Academia)

 

 

Koji Koda is a supporting character in the anime My Hero Academia but he is quite memorable nonetheless. He has chosen the name “Petting Hero” and his ability is “Anivoice”.

 

Using his Anivoice ability, Koji can command any member of the animal kingdom, be it birds or bugs. His versatile quirk has been of great help on multiple occasions.

 

However, for him to activate his quirk, the animals he is communicating with must be within earshot and should be able to hear his command.

 

Koji has a brutal and intimidating appearance but his personality is just the opposite. He is soft-spoken, shy, and introverted and prefers to spend his time with animals rather than humans.

 

 

35. Suzune Horikita (Classroom of the Elite)

 

 

Horikita is one of the main characters of the anime Classroom of the Elite. She is a serious and unsocial character but grows more and more charming as the show progresses.

 

She always works extra hard in school trying to catch up to her overachieving brother and gain his acknowledgment.

 

She is quite blunt with her words which often makes classmates upset with her. However, she is no doubt one of the most capable people in her classroom.

 

Even Ayanokouji acknowledges Horikita and treats her more seriously than he does anyone else. As for her appearance, Horikita has long black hair and intense eyes which makes her both intimidating and attractive.

 

 

34. Carla Yeager (Attack on Titan)

 

 

Carla Yeager was not in the show for too long but the part she played was a very important one.

 

It was her unfortunate fate that set Eren on his path and led him to become the formidable character he grows up to be.

 

In the beginning season of Attack on Titan, we are introduced to Carla Yeager as Eren’s mother. Like any good mother, she is loving and caring and is always concerned about Eren’s well-being.

 

However, despite her soft and motherly demeanor, she is a woman of great mental fortitude. Her strength of character came forth gloriously when the people were attacked by Titans.

 

Eren’s love for his mother and anguish at her loss was the first trigger that ultimately led him to become our most beloved anti-hero.

 

 

33. Grisha Yeager (Attack on Titan)

 

 

Next, we have Carla’s husband Grisha. Always nice to see an Aquarius-Aquarius pair though it would have been nicer to see this pair meet a fairer end.

 

Grisha is Eren’s father and one of the most important characters in the entire series. He held the key to great secrets that we do not learn well until the later seasons of the anime.

 

On the surface, Grisha was a regular hardworking father trying to support his family. He worked as a doctor within the walls and saved countless lives doing what he does.

 

Eren seemed closer to his mother than his father but their chemistry gradually unfolds as the show progresses.

 

Grisha had lived through a torturous childhood and was aware of information and secrets that could entirely change the notions of humanity that people within the walls grew up believing.

 

 

32. Lloyd Asplund (Code Geass)

 

 

Lloyd Asplund from Code Geass is quite an interesting character. He is not exactly likable but has certain good traits that make him an appealing character.

 

He is an earl amongst the Britannian nobility and used to a life of affluence. He refers to himself as a sociopath as he tends to prioritize his goals over his relationships.

 

He is often seen treating and viewing humans as nothing more than tools. He is a man of science and is seen devoting most of his time to it.

 

As for Lloyd’s appearance, he looks like a typical aristocrat. He is bespectacled and has light lavender hair.

 

 

31. Kagetora Aida (Kuroko’s Basketball)

 

 

Kagetora Aida is one of the side characters in the anime but his personality makes him truly memorable. He is the father of Riko Aida, the extremely young and talented coach of Seiring High.

 

A lot of Riko’s knowledge of basketball comes from her father’s influence. Kagetora used to be a successful basketball player himself and had played professionally in the national Japanese team.

 

One might think Riko is an extremely strict coach but she is nowhere near as brutal as her father.

 

We see Kagetora’s coaching techniques when he finally agreed to coach Seirin before the Winter Cup competition. Kagetora is quite quirky and his overprotective tendencies toward his daughter make for great comedy.

 

He even went as far as to threaten the Seirin boys with a gun lest they try to put their hands on his daughter.

 

 

30. Benimaru Shinmon (Fire Force)

 

 

Captain of the 7th division of the Special Fire Force Company, Benimaru is easily one of the most memorable characters in the Fire Force anime.

 

And why shouldn’t he be? This man is recognized as the strongest individual in the entire Fire Force.

 

He has been given the nickname of ‘Asakusa’s King of Destruction’ simply because of the sheer, brute power he can unleash.

 

Despite his demonic power, Benimaru is deeply loved by the Asakusa community and he reciprocates the same emotion.

 

He is not only a brutally strong pyrokinetic but is also a master of good ole’ fashioned hand-to-hand combat.

 

His personality can get childish at times and his words are almost always rude or blunt but if one trudges deeper, one can easily spot his kind and caring heart.

 

 

29. Taiga Kamiya (Eyeshield 21)

 

 

Taiga Kamiya is the ace quarterback of the Misaki Wolves. He is also the captain of the team and therefore an extremely valuable player.

 

Kamiya is hardly humble about his skills; he never spares any opportunity to boast about them. He led his team to the Kanto Tournament where they were representing Hokkaido.

 

Taiga is especially proud of his legs and how fast he can run with them. Even though he is not ultimately better than Riku or the Gunmen, he puts up a great fight against them.

 

As for his appearance, he has platinum blonde hair and mischievous and confident eyes which are a great reflection of his personality.

 

 

28. Haruka Tenou (Sailor Moon)

 

 

Haruka Tenou is the civilian identity assumed by Sailor Uranus. She is the most androgynous of all the sailor moons.

 

In her life as a civilian, she is highly accomplished and lives as a Tokyo elite. Her numerous skills include playing the piano, running, and also driving race cars.

 

This badass woman is quite comfortable riding a motorcycle and manning a helicopter as well. She is the epitome of a girl crush and draws in both male and female fans.

 

We do not see any hints regarding Haruka’s family in the anime or manga; all we know is she lived with Michiru.

 

 

27. Kou Mukami (Diabolik Lovers)

 

 

Diabolik Lovers reeks of a typical vampire chick flick that contains loads of hot vampires, sexual tension, and one little damsel in distress.

 

The damsel in this anime is the protagonist Yui and Kou is a part of her harem of hot vampires.

 

However, Kou’s story is quite interesting in itself too. He works as an idol in the human world and has developed a false charismatic personality to hide his true self.

 

He appears cheerful but is heavily traumatized by his childhood. Being abandoned in a manhole as a kid, Kou is seen remembering his dream of being free under the blue skies.

 

His pain has had a strong bearing on him which is why he can switch from a cheerful person to a vicious monster in seconds.

 

 

26. Sagaru Yamazaki (Gintama)

 

 

Even though Sagaru is not exactly the main character, his character development throughout the show is quite interesting. He started as a punk during his younger days before becoming a part of the Shinsengumi.

 

He joined the Shinsengumi as a spy later in his youth. His appearance is quite plain and unremarkable which, he admits, actually helps his job as a spy.

 

One of his biggest personality quirks is his love for badminton. He is often seen practicing badminton when he should be working and ends up getting heavily reprimanded for it.

 

His powers change drastically throughout the show, and by the end of it, he reaches a much higher level of strength and ability.

 

 

25. Nobuo Terashima (NANA)

 

 

Nobuo Terashima, commonly known as Nobu, is an old friend of Nana; in fact, he was the only one who was able to befriend her in high school.

 

He and Nana connected over their love of punk music. Despite coming from an affluent family, Nobu is a truly hard-working musician and has a true passion for the craft.

 

He is not the best drinker and gets quite sloppy after a few drinks. As for his personality, he is a bright and kind person who will not hesitate to stand up for his friends and beliefs.

 

Despite his many appeals, Nobu feels deeply insecure about his height. He is a stubborn dreamer who can be inconsistent at times but his good qualities more than make up for it.

 

 

24. Rem (Re: Zero)

 

 

Rem is initially introduced to us as a loyal servant of the Rosawaal manor. Both Rem and her twin sister Ram work for Lord Rosawaal.

 

She has a cute appearance and tiny stature but we very soon see her in her other form too.

 

This cute maid can turn into a deadly demon who murders ruthlessly. Rem and Ram’s story form an important part of the anime.

 

Even her relationship with Subaru undergoes major development throughout the show. Even though she is not the main female protagonist of this anime, her story forms an important part of the plot.

 

Rem constantly feels guilty about her sister’s lack of horns and always tries to overcompensate for it. She is truly kind and caring but the ghosts of her past continue to haunt her.

 

 

23. Shizuku (Omamori Himari)

 

 

Omamori Himari is essentially a harem anime with Yuto as its protagonist. Shizuku is the third girl to join Yuto’s harem.

 

She is one of the most important characters in the show. Shizuku is a water dragon deity who holds a strong grudge against demon slayers.

 

This is because it was these very demon slayers who had once led to the demise of her clan.

 

She had initially planned to kill Yuto before he could awaken as a demon slayer; however, his kindness and character moved her and she decided to stay with him as an observer and housekeeper instead.

 

Shizuku’s personality is as cold as her appearance. She is not the friendliest girl; the only time we see her show feelings is when Yuto is involved.

 

 

22. Mayuri Shiina (Steins Gate)

 

 

Mayuri is one of the principal characters of Steins Gate. In the show, she is the childhood friend of the protagonist, Rintaro Okabe.

 

She is a member of the Future Gadget Lab just like him. Even though she is not the smartest member of the lab, she is certainly the most perceptive one.

 

She is often able to see and feel things that others end up ignoring. Her primary quirk is probably her deep liking for cute things.

 

Mayuri is also a dedicated cosplay designer and works part-time at a Maid Café. She often appears too naïve or childlike for her age but her perceptive qualities are undeniable.

 

 

21. Alice Nakiri (Food Wars!)

 

 

Alice Nakiri is a part of the prestigious Nakiri family known for its culinary excellence. Alice’s specialty lies in using food technology.

 

She is even dubbed as the “heaven-sent child of molecular gastronomy” because of her excellent skills. She was also the former 6th seat of Totsuki Academy’s Student Council.

 

She holds herself in high regard because of her family name but is not nearly as conceited as her cousin Erina Nakiri.

 

Her appearance is quite foreign because she is of mixed descent – Japanese and Danish. As for her personality, Alice is quite bright and friendly.

 

She is also pretty intelligent as is clear from her various experiments in the lab. She is prone to throwing childish tantrums at times but then reverts to her original personality pretty soon.

 

 

20. Riko Aida (Kuroko no Basuke)

 

 

Riko is a third-year student at Seirin High and the coach of the Seirin basketball team. Even though she is not a basketball player herself, her understanding of the game is off the charts.

 

She is often looked down upon by the older coaches of opposing teams but she ultimately proves prowess in the end.

 

Her basketball acumen might have developed as an influence from her father who used to be a professional basketball player in the Japanese National Team.

 

She can see player stats very clearly and can determine how much potential a player has from just a few glances.

 

Despite her amazing coaching skills, Riko is hilariously bad at cooking and the Seirin team suffers tremendously every time she decides to cook a meal.

 

However, she is highly respected by all players on the team.

 

 

19. Langa Hasegawa (SK∞)

 

 

Langa Hasegawa is one of the main characters of SK∞. We are introduced to him as a transfer student in Reki’s school.

 

His attractive appearance makes him a hit with the ladies. He initially had no clue about skateboarding and began learning it after getting acquainted with Reki and being inspired by his way of skating.

 

However, his talent shows through when Langa begins his first battle on the actual course. Even though he was a noob skateboarder, his background in snowboarding greatly helped his technique and he ended up rising in ranks amongst other skateboarders in no time.

 

Despite his intimidating skills and gorgeous appearance, Langa is only a sweet humble joe. He truly enjoys spending time skateboarding with Reki and was devastated when he couldn’t do it anymore after Reki started growing distant.

 

 

18. Nanami Momozono (Kamisama Kiss)

 

 

Nanami Momozono is the main protagonist of the anime Kamisama Kiss. She possesses all the qualities of a good shoujo protagonist.

 

She is kind, charming, and bold enough to strongly hold on to her beliefs even after strong opposition. She has been bestowed with the title of human Land God of the Mikage Shrine.

 

Though her title sounds fancy, it often ends up bringing her more trouble than pleasure. Nanami dreams of a world where humans can live together in peace and love each other freely; despite Tomoe’s vehement opposition, she holds on to her ideal.

 

As for her appearance, it was shown that Nananim did not receive much attention from her classmates and that her physical appearance was plain to most humans.

 

However, she is somehow quite attractive to the yokai.

 

 

17. Utahime Iori (Jujutsu Kaisen)

 

 

Utahime Iori is the student supervisor for the Kyoto division of Jujutsu High School. We are first introduced to her right before the class between the Tokyo and Kyoto divisions.

 

Her cursed technique involves superhuman strength and heightened senses. As a supervisor, she is very prim and proper. She is both kind and stern with her students and is always trying to set a good example for them.

 

However, Gojou always manages to get on her nerve. The two of them appear to have a cat-and-dog relationship.

 

As for her appearance, Utahime is always seen wearing traditional Japanese robes. She has long and straight dark hair and a visible scar across her face.

 

 

16. Konan (Naruto)

 

 

We were first introduced to Konan as a member of the infamous Akatsuki. Though she debuted as a villain, Konan soon became a beloved character.

 

In the flashback arcs, we see Konan as one of Nagato’s old, childhood friends. She is always seen silently standing beside him and supporting him in every way possible.

 

She is a truly loyal companion. After Akatsuki, she moves on to heading the Amegakure. She even gives her everything to protect Naruto when she realizes that Nagato had entrusted his dream to him.

 

Konan is an extremely skilled kunoichi like every other Akatsuki member. Her most famous ability is her paper Jutsu.

 

Her use of paper is almost similar to Gaara’s use of sand as it can both attack her enemies and protect her.

 

 

15. Ymir (Attack on Titan)

 

 

Ymir was in the series for only a short amount of time but the impact she made was no doubt powerful.

 

Ymir had a terrible childhood where she was picked up by a scammer while walking alone and homeless. The scammer then presented her as Ymir, the founder, of an Eldyian cult and she lived her days a fraud.

 

The truth was that she did not even have a hint of royal blood in her. She was ultimately discovered by the Marley army and dubbed a monster.

 

Ymir, however, did inherit the power of the Jaw Titan. She was the closest to Christa Ymir was most probably in love with Christa and not in a platonic way.

 

 

14. Tobirama Senju (Naruto Shippuden)

 

 

Tobirama Senju is the second Hokage of the village hidden in the leaves or Konoha. He is the brother of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the mentor of the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

 

He is widely known for being a staunch hater of the Uchiha clan; which is very much true. Tobirama had lost two of his brothers in a clash with the Uchiha clan and was also the reason behind Izuna Uchiha’s death.

 

Being a Senju, Tobirama wielded an insane amount of strength and chakra. His chakra reserve was phenomenal.

 

He was considered the strongest shinobi of his time. Tobirama’s stern personality was intimidating to most, including his elder brother Hashirama.

 

However, Tobirama was a sincere man who always put the village’s best interests first.

 

 

13. Rin Tohsaka (Fate/Stay Night)

 

 

Rin Tohsaka is one of the main female characters of the Fate/Stay Night series. She is in the midst of battle when Shirou meets her for the first time.

 

She is the master of the warrior Archer and commands him during fights. Both of them participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War together.

 

Though Rin is a high schooler just like Shirou on the outside, they are vastly different. Shirou is barely aware of the magical world of mages and warriors while Rin has grown up in a family of highly acclaimed mages.

 

Rin always maintains the prim and proper honor student image at school so that others do not try to pry into her life.

 

She can appear conceited at times but she doesn’t back down from standing up for those she cares about.

 

 

12. Daisuke Kambe (The Millionaire Detective, Balance: Unlimited)

 

 

The anime title is pretty much a description in itself. Kambe Daisuke is the main protagonist of this show; he is an extremely affluent man who has inherited the large fortune of the Kambe family.

 

He invests his time in solving cases and firmly believes that money is the solution to everything. He solves most cases with the help of an inordinate sum of money.

 

Just like the title suggests, his bank balance is unlimited and never runs out. Daisuke is a man of few words.

 

He has a short stature and a dull personality but is quite shrewd and athletic. He is skilled in combat as well.

 

 

11. Kiki (Kiki’s Delivery Service)

 

 

Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service is truly a heartwarming treat. The main protagonist of this tale is a 13-year-old young witch named Kiki.

 

According to tradition, all witches must leave their homes at the age of thirteen to undergo special training that would make them full-fledged witches.

 

Kiki went to the town of Koriko for her training. She is not very popular at first but gradually finds a way to get closer to the townsfolk.

 

She even starts her delivery service, like the title suggests, and makes little deliveries to help out the people.

 

Kiki, in the beginning, is shown to have multiple personality flaws but the plot of this story revolves around her finally overcoming them.

 

She has a black cat as a pet with whom she is especially close; the cat can be seen around Kiki at all times.

 

 

10. Nico Robin (One Piece)

 

 

Robin is one of the major characters in the One Piece series. She is the resident archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates.

 

As the sole survivor of her homeland, she is one of the few people in the world with the ability to read Poneglyphs.

 

This skill is so special because it is considered highly threatening and is forbidden by the government. Her special ability involves being able to replicate any part of her body on any given surface.

 

She ate the Hana Hana No Mi when she was very young and was blessed with this unique power.

 

Before joining the good guys and becoming a part of the Straw Hat Pirates, Nico was introduced as a secondary antagonist during the Arabasta Saga.

 

 

9. Soi Fon (Bleach)

 

 

Soi Fon was introduced in the Bleach series as the captain of the second division of the Gotei 13.

 

It was later revealed that she was also the head of the Omnitsukido; she succeeded none other than her idol Yoruichi Shihouin.

 

Her family belongs to one of the lesser-known nobles in the Shihouin family and she grew up admiring Yoruichi who belonged to the top class of nobles.

 

She never wanted to succeed Yoruichi as the head of the Omnitsukido and was happy just serving under her.

 

She considered it an act of betrayal when Yoruichi fled by herself leaving the responsibility of the Omnitsukido on Soi Fon’s shoulders.

Even on the court, he is not as flashy but the impact he has is huge. Kuroko was known as the Phantom 6th Man in his old high school.
