Top 50 Best Purple Haired Anime Characters Of All Time

Well, ladies and gentlemen, Trunks from the Dragon Ball Z series.

In that instalment, Trunks' hair was indeed Purple. And that was also the Trunks that captured every Dragon Ball Z fan's heart in an instant.

He first appeared with his gigantic sword and started to dominate almost everyone he was sent against.

Moreover, as the show progresses, he gets even more badass and starts to look like a monster that none has seen before.

And that is a remarkable feat, especially in the Dragon Ball franchise. With his amazing skills, handsome looks, and killer instincts, Trunks stood as everyone's favourite character in the show at one point.

And that's why Trunks is here on our list.

Shinobu Kocho is one of the lead female characters in the world of Demon Slayer and stands as one of the Hashiras in the show.

She has a sadist-like personality and this is because of her horrible past. However, the sheer sarcastic behaviour that she holds all the time, makes her entertaining and captivating.

Therefore, anyone who watches Shinobu on-screen gets captured by her charisma. And that's why Shinobu Kocho is standing here on our list.

Faye Valentine is the lead female in the Cowboy Bebop anime series. And I won't lie, she is quite a hottie.

For many of the 90's kids, she was the gem. And I can understand their emotions.

She was a badass who only cared about herself and tried to make sure that no one else even interfered with her.

However, soon, she starts to develop faith and trust with her comrades, and seeing her do that in a span of 26 episodes is heartwarming.

Without a doubt, a brilliant being.

In Seraph of the End, Shinoa Hiragi assumes a pivotal role as a sergeant leading the Moon Demon Company within the Japanese Imperial Demon Army.

Hailing from the prestigious Hiragi Family and being Mahiru Hiragi's younger sister, she oversees Yuichiro Hyakuya during his suspension.

Shinoa's sarcastic personality and penchant for teasing, particularly aimed at Yuichiro, define her character.

Armed with a Cursed Gear scythe fueled by her demon, Shikama Doji, she excels in combat.

Despite her petite, slender stature, Shinoa's lavender hair, adorned with a magenta bow and side braids, contributes to her distinctive appearance in this anime and manga series.

Hitagi Senjougahara is the main female in the Monogatari series.

And if you start your Monogatari journey with Bakemonogatari, then I believe you might have overlooked her true self.

Initially, she seems like an expressionless girl who doesn't show any emotion other than tilting her neck.

However, as the series progresses, you will see her true nature unfold and that process makes her such an amazing character.

Looks like the scene is about to get hot now. And why wouldn't, I must say?

After all, Atsushi is here. Atsushi Murasakibara is one of the main characters in the Kuroko No Basket anime.

And I don't think there's anyone who can say that he doesn't look hot. Not even a single soul.

He has a masculine appearance with purple hair and a commendable build. I mean just look at his size, he is huge!

And even within the show, he was one of the best players that gave some tough competition to the opponents.

Anyone who watches Kuroko No Basket is bound to like him.

Well, it looks like we have a character from Tokyo Ghoul. But I don't blame the show at all.

I mean Sui Ishida is a genius with his art. So having some amazing characters is just part of it.

Anyway, this time around, it's the woman who caused it all. Ladies and Gentlemen, let's bring our attention to Rize Kamishiro.

Rize is one of the lead characters in the Tokyo Ghoul anime and whatever happened to our main character, happens because of Rize.

She is evil, dark, and sinister. However, she is also honest and knows the brutal reality of life.

And that's why people look up to her in the show.

He is Ayato. Ayato is one of the supporting characters in the Tokyo Ghoul anime and he is the younger brother of Touka Kirishima.

However, this guy is a much bigger menace than her sister. Within the anime and the manga, this guy destroys things so fast that you wouldn't even be able to understand them.

And his overall contribution to the storyline and the narrative was also magnificent. A man to love and respect.

From the greatest anime of all time comes the greatest AI of all time, Ritsu.

Ritsu is one of the side characters in the anime we know by the name Assassination Classroom.

And boy, wasn't she a blast when she first showed up. She was havoc who seemed to be strong enough to do the assassination in the show.

And although circumstances soon changed, she, later on, became a driving factor in the entire storyline.

And for an AI to have feelings, that's the best thing I must say. Therefore, Ritsu deserves more love and appreciation in the community and there's no denying that.

Jiro is one of the side characters in My Hero Academia.

And I can assure you that she is an amazing purple-haired character. What makes her so special is the fact that she has a captivating personality and stands out because of her attitude.

She isn't sweet like all other females. Don't get me wrong, she is kind but her way of dealing with people is different.

In an anime like My Hero Academia, her way stands out which eventually, makes her stand out.

The handsome hunk from the Magi series. I can already see girls fainting away. And I can also see a few boys fainting as well.

Sinbad is one of the main characters in the entire Magi franchise and he is a man of courage.

He was the one who mastered dungeons from a very young age and had the strength to change the fate of the entire world.

His excellence in battle and his fighting prowess can't be compared to anyone and so, he must be respected by anyone who looks at him.

He isn't just a man who looks great. He is a great man.

Yes, it's a common name. But still, it's badass as hell. So which Lucifer am I talking about here?

Well, the one from the incredible series we call The Devil Is A Part-timer. Lucifer is one of the supporting characters in his show and wouldn't you know it, he is quite a fun personality.

He was a demon general in the past but now in his human form, he is just as simple as anyone gets.

Moreover, after being here, he was defeated and from that point on, he just hung out with Satan for free.

So yeah, for a super classy name like Lucifer, his personality is quite the opposite, right?

Well, would you look at that? An adorable girl has made her way to the list, weebs.

Bring your attention here. But Kae doesn't need much since she already has enough.

Kae Serinuma is one of the main characters in Watashi ga Motete Dousunda. And I know what you might be thinking.

How is a beautiful girl like her, part of an obscure anime like this? Well, I don't blame you, my friends.

That's just the beauty of anime. You will never know where the gem is hidden.

And once you do find it, you will be luckier than anyone. So cherish that gem, cherish Kae.

Well, we have a freak of nature on our list, ladies and gentlemen. The following girl is dangerous.

And I can bet a million on that. Minene Uryuu is one of the supporting characters in the world of Mirai Nikki.

And man, I won't lie, she is quite pretty. Her purple hair is what makes her stand out so much but what's even better is her attitude.

She is a terrorist bomber and that might explain her name to be Minene. Either way, she is quite a notable being in the anime and her actions result in some major changes in the direction of the series.

Want to know what happened exactly? Well, you can watch the show.

What's the first impression that you get after looking at her? What is it? Maybe it is something along the lines of, "She is a witch"?

Maybe. However, if it is, let me break it to you, she is not. Blair is one of the supporting characters in the Soul Eater anime and you aren't the only one who looked at her and thought that she was a witch.

Even within the show, she was prejudiced as a witch and was about to face the consequences for it.

However, luckily she was able to prove herself and it turns out, that she was just a cat.

Well, that's one problem taken care of.

Saeko is Waifu. I know that was a terrible rhyme but the emotion is true.

Saeko Busujima attracts the eye faster than the speed of light. And you can test that.

It is scientifically proven. Saeko Busujima is one of the main characters in the anime we call High School Of The Dead.

And man isn't she freaking hot. Moreover, her character stands out, even more, considering that she can also fight and beat the hell out of those who are against her.

And that is why the main gang was able to survive so long. All in all, Saeko is a qualitative character and a considerable Waifu.

Tokyo Ghoul has a ton, and I mean a ton of amazing characters to put on the table.

And while many of them weren't dealt with by Justice in the anime, I must say that this character had a fun time overall.

Touka is one of the main characters in Tokyo Ghoul. And initially, she is one of the smartest and most mature characters.

What makes her so good is the fact that she has a captivating personality that is against the typical feminine presentation.

And that's why her character grabs the attention of fans around the world. I mean when was the last time you saw the main girl shove food in the main character's mouth?

Yeah.

You might think of her as the Kagami from Lucky Star after first hearing her name.

However, she is someone much different. Kagami is the mother of Nanami who runs a Kissaten.

A Kisaaten is also known as a Coffee shop that is over the street. And that street stands across their own house.

However, what makes her so special is her personality. With her kind and humble nature, she is one of the most captivating characters from Lamune.

And if you ever decide to watch Lamune, make sure you notice her amazing purple hair.

You will love it.

Well, I don't think many of you know this beautiful lady right here. But I don't blame you since she is from a niche series known as Maker Hikoushiki Hatsune Mix.

And that's a new name for sure. She has a captivating personality in the series and acts as a supporting character.

Her looks are quite something. With purple hair and similar-colored eyes, she manages to capture the heart of all those who decide to have a look at her.

Moreover, with her multiple aliases, she stands as a valuable character that shouldn't be ignored at all.

Well, this man right here might seem like a gentleman at first. No doubt about that.

However, as soon as you get to know him, your opinion will turn upside down.

Shuu is one of the supporting characters in the anime Tokyo Ghoul. And the fact that he is from Tokyo Ghoul opens a ton of new possibilities for his characterization.

Unfortunately, he is a psychopath who does anything and everything to get whom he wants.

He will kill anyone in his path just for that one person he is looking for.

And that's exactly why he is so dangerous. I hope you are aware of him.

Within the realm of The Eminence in Shadow, the enigmatic Aurora, or Diablos, bears the title "Witch of Calamity."

Emerging from a distant era where she brought chaos to the world, she rivals Shadow in power, wielding formidable atomic magic.

Once a captive of a cult, subjected to experimentation and exploitation, she now grapples with amnesia and has developed an amicable bond with Cid.

However, beneath her seemingly friendly exterior, Aurora harbours a concealed complexity that adds depth to her character.

Konan. Known by many as one of the strongest female characters in the anime. However, there's more to her character than just strength.

Konan is one of the villains in the Naruto franchise and there are a ton of attributes that make her stand out so much.

One of which is that she is the only female member of Akatsuki. Which is a notable feat if you ask me.

And apart from Akatsuki, her skills are also amazing. Her paperwork is so good that people get stunned fighting her.

And her battles have been quite remarkable if you ask me. And that's why she is here.

Konan is a fine character.

I have always thought that Akame Ga Kill has been a great show for anyone looking for fine characters.

And in my search for Purple-haired anime, I came across Sheele. Sheele is one of the side characters in the show and oh my, she is quite an attractive being.

She is from the Night Raid faction and her personality is very caring and kind.

She might seem like an idiot who is always clumsy at first. However, we soon get to see her brighter side and that makes her even better than we initially thought.

Therefore, if you are in search of some great purple-haired personalities then Sheele should be under your radar.

Well, well would you look at that? I think there are a ton of kids from the '90s who are reading this.

And if you are from the '90s, I know she was your crush back in the day.

Don't even think about denying it, come on! Misato Katsuragi is one of the lead characters in the incredibly popular anime series known as Neon Genesis Evangelion.

And my oh my, she has won more hearts than anyone. I mean back when NGE used to air on TV, there was no female character who was better than her.

Not just in NGE or in the anime medium but overall. And that's why she is so special for her 90s childhood.

Remember when I said that Bleach has a ton of amazing character designs? See? I am not lying.

Yoruichi Shihouin is one of the supporting characters in the anime. Now I love the dark-skinned females in Bleach.

So I am bound to love Yoruichi as well. And the fact that she is also quite attractive just adds up to my admiration for her.

And I know you are attracted to her as well. Don't try to deny it.

Her dark purple hair has captured your attention for a while now. And that's perfectly understandable.

After all, that's why she is here on our list, right?

Coming in from one of the most popular anime franchises of all time, we have Motoko Kusanagi.

She is one of the main characters in the anime and I know you already love her.

She has orange eyes complementing her purple hair and so, watching her on-screen becomes even more delightful.

Moreover, now that you are noticing it, she has a very dominating personality as well and stands as a Major in the show.

However, this title is not just exclusive because she is tagged with it. She has an amazing contribution to the narrative.

And that's what makes her so special.

Respect must be bestowed upon her as she arrives on our list. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to tell you about Cornelia Li Britannia.

She is one of the supporting characters in Code Geass and I think she is probably the hottest one as well.

Her alternative name is The Witch Of Britannia and Goddess Of Victory. Just these names themselves are intimidating enough to make anyone doubt their actions.

And that's why she is here in our prose. She has an appealing look and her overall attire is just as gorgeous as it gets.

Make sure to have respect for her while you are at it. Because she is worthy of it all.

For many of us, she is a beauty queen. And I think there won't be many that believe against us.

Kotomu Ichinose is one of the lead characters of the anime we call Clannad. And man isn't she beautiful.

She has some very gorgeous purple hair and eyes of the same color, her overall appearance becomes just as captivating as dusk.

Moreover, she has some major contributions to the overall story so you can be certain that she isn't all about looks.

Although, in the entire show, she is probably the most eye-catching. And that's why she is here.

Alright, hear me out ok? I know the Dragon Ball series has a ton of alterations in their character designs and so, Bulma doesn't exactly have purple hair.

However, I am currently talking about the Bulma from Dragon Ball who had purple hair.

And I won't lie, those were the good days' man. When the show was just a simple Bonanza of action and drama.

And trust me when I say that Bulma was a major contributor to the overall series.

And therefore, she deserves more love and appreciation. And although she has become much more mature, she is still the one who stood as our crush back in the day.

The next man on our list is a spooky one. From the incredible Blue Exorcist series, we have Mephisto Pheles.

Mephisto is one of the supporting characters in the world of Blue Exorcist. And wouldn't you know it, he is quite a freaky being.

He is the chairman of the True Cross Academy and also an exorcist. Well, that explains his intimidating nature but what still makes, why does he look like a punk?

I guess we will never know. However, what we will know for sure is that this man is quite a mess.

With his purple hair in place, he is quite an attractive being. And also a significant soul in the Blue Exorcist series.

Anko used to be our crush. Don't even try to deny that. I mean when she was first introduced, she was the hottest girl in the Naruto franchise.

No questions asked. And I believe many still look up to her as one of the best in the entire franchise.

For those of you who don't know, Anko is one of the supporting characters in the anime we know by the name Naruto.

Not sure if you have heard about it but it's a fairly popular show. And Anko was introduced as an instructor in the show.

However, as time passes by, she gets more and more screen time and soon, she becomes a captivating character with her purple hair in place.

Well, don't cry. I said don't cry. She is here just for us. Don't disappoint her.

And for those of you who are wondering what's wrong, let me tell you in a bit of detail.

Ryou Fujibayashi is one of the main characters in the anime Clannad. And if you know anything about Clannad, you would know that it is a cry fest.

It has so many moments in it that will make you question everything that you are going through.

And Ryou's significance in that show and the memory of it make fans emotional. But don't worry, you are yet to experience it.

However, do so when you get the chance.

Well, many of you might mistake her for being one of the characters from Blend S.

However, she is not the one you think she is. And I won't lie, she is quite different from the one you are thinking about.

Anyway, Ririchiyo Shirakiin is the main character of the anime Inu x Boku SS. And currently, she is in room 4 of the Ayakashi Kan.

She is also a master of Miketsukami Soushi. She is a girl that might look rude from the outside but cares about communicating with others from the inside.

And oftentimes, she is in distress because she can't place herself properly. Seems familiar, right?

The most famous character from Lucky Star is Kagami. Because she is so much in the memes that we can't get over her despite Lucky Star being such an old classic.

Kagami is one of the main characters in the show and many consider her to be the absolute main character.

Can't blame them since she has a remarkable personality. And just like every other Lucky Star character, she is also filled with characters, emotions, and fun.

And that is cool on another level.

Standing as a strong female character in the show, we have Veronica Liones. Veronica is one of the supporting characters in Seven Deadly Sins.

And I think we can all agree that she appears to be quite angry and intimidating at times.

However, that's just who she is so we can't blame her, can we? Moreover, she is the second princess of Britannia.

And as the Princess, she holds pride and courage in her eyes. She is significantly different from her other sister.

But you can be certain that she is quite an effective individual.

Probably the most adorable character from the series, we have Tsukasa Hiiragi. She is one of the main characters in the slice-of-life anime known as Lucky Star.

And man isn't she adorable. Like, tell me, who else do you think is more adorable than her?

I am waiting. And while you try to find someone, let me tell you more about her.

She likes strawberry shortcakes, sleeps, and mobile phones, just like us. And she doesn't like Comiket, waking up, and working, just like us.

Well, quite a relatable character for sure. And that's what makes her even more adorable.

Someone you would wanna look up to.

James is a member of the notorious Team Rocket trio alongside Jessie and Meowth.

Throughout the Pokémon anime, they tirelessly pursue Ash Ketchum and his friends, constantly scheming to capture Ash's Pikachu.

James brought up as an only child in a wealthy family, endured a rigid and formal upbringing.

The prescribed lessons and activities held no genuine interest for him, leading to disillusionment with the strict rules and societal expectations of the upper class.

His engagement to Jessebelle, a girl from his past, was abandoned when he realized her controlling nature.

Consequently, James left behind his privileged existence and his beloved Growlithe, Growlie.

Adopting the alter ego "Trainer James," he joined a bike gang. Reflecting on their shared past, both James and Jessie have a history of attaining the lowest scores in the annals of Pokémon Tech, a school for aspiring Pokémon Trainers, which elicits unwelcome memories for them.

No. He is not that Rock. He is another Rock. And I am sure that most of you aren't aware of what he is cooking.

But I don't blame you because he is from quite a niche anime. However, he holds significance within that anime for sure.

He is from an anime called Nanbaka. Not a lot of you would have heard about it but it's a great anime.

Give it a try and you will know. Anyway, Rock is one of the main characters in that anime and I don't think there's anyone who can match his style in that show.

With red bangs and purple hair overall, my man looks nothing less than a freaking Rockstar.

Rosario To Vampire has a ton of amazing characters going on for itself. And we will be dealing with one of them now.

With her gorgeous purple hair in place, the next girl on our list is the beautiful Mizore.

Mizore Shirayuki is one of the main characters in the anime and I think we can all agree that she is quite a hottie.

One notable personality trait of hers is that she always has a lollipop in her mouth.

This is noticeable to anyone who watched the anime, even one. But apart from that one trait, she has many others that will be explored once you watch the show.

Well, would you look at that? I was wondering where the beautiful and capturing Seven Deadly Sins characters were.

None showed up on the list yet. But I believe that Margaret was waiting for me here.

Anyway, let's take a deeper look at her character. She is one of the supporting ones in the show and had a kind and humble personality.

She is the eldest princess of Liones so her character holds significance in the narrative of the show.

Therefore, she has been a subject of the spotlight a ton of times in the show.

And that's why she is standing here on our list. I hope you are happy.

Ultear Milkovich. A pretty known name within the Fairy Tail fandom. She is one of the supporting characters in the show and just by looking at her design, you can see that she is quite a hot character.

Her overall facial structure matches the typical Fairy Tail design pattern and so, it is so much more fun to see her on-screen.

She was introduced in the anime as a member of the Magic Council and it looked like she worked for Siegrain.

I won't spoil you with any more details. But if you are still watching Fairy Tail, keep an eye on her.

She is quite important in her presence. 

Bleach does have some amazing characters up to their sleeves, wouldn't you agree? I mean just look at Nemu.

I think she is quite a notable being in the show. She is one of the supporting characters indeed but as the lieutenant of the 12th Division in the Gotei 13, she is a woman of respect and honor.

Moreover, she is not even born properly so you can imagine what kind of trauma she might have been through at this point.

And did I mention that she is brought into this world through artificial means? Yeah, just as horrible as it sounds.

And therefore, you must look up to Nemu for sure.

Oh no my friends, we are not talking about the Akatsuki from Naruto. The Akatsuki we will be discussing here is from the very popular Log Horizon.

Log Horizon is one of the most popular Isekai anime of its time and Akatsuki is one of the most popular girls of her era as well.

She is among the main characters however she mostly supports the protagonist in his actions.

And let's just say that this support is quite effective within the storyline. With a ninja-like appearance and amazing skills, Akatsuki holds herself as one of the strongest in the show if you boil it down.

And that's why she is here.

Oh boy, the danger has arrived. Coming from one of the most popular anime of all time, we have Katakuri.

He is one of the supporting characters in the anime we call One Piece. Not sure if you have ever heard about that show in your life.

However, now you must know by looking at Katakuri and realizing how intimidating he is.

I mean just look at his design. I find it quite different from the typical One Piece character design and so he stands out more.

He is the second son of the Charlotte Family and acts as a Commander as well.

In other words, he is a man of value.

Coming from a very popular anime, we have Kami Olietta. She is one of the supporting characters in the realm of Fairy Tail.

And I don't know who needs to know this but she is fairly attractive. Don't look down upon her just because she is a supporting character.

I mean, she is a strong wood-style mage who performs some amazing magic with her skills and abilities.

That alone should be worthy of respect. And with her glasses on her eyes, I would say she would fit in a lot of people's "type".

Many of them are even Reading this list as I write this.

I mean come on. There's no way I wouldn't include her on this list. Her full name is Neptune Purple Heart Nep-Nep Nepko Neppy Neptuna.

And the show she is from is called Choujigen Game Neptune The Animation. So yeah, Neptune is quite an important being.

But apart from being the important one, she is also the beautiful one. She has glossy Purple hair and capturing blue eyes that just seem so captivating.

And with her status of CPU goddess, she stands as one of the best characters you can look out for today.

No questions asked.

Well, I think there aren't many people out there who have watched the anime Nozomi is a part of.

However, for the selective ones who did, you know how amazing of a character she is.

Nozomi Toujou is one of the main characters in the anime Bokura No Live Kimi To No Life.

And that's why she is much more inclined to be appreciated by people who are into all idol stuff.

She is Eri's best friend and also the vice president of the student council. Therefore, you already know that she holds importance.

And let me tell you, the way she diverts the narrative is pretty fascinating. Watch it to find out yourself.

Crona, famously known as the Demon Sword, is a proficient wielder of the demon sword and the biological child of the witch Medusa Gorgon.

Driven by their mother's ambitions, they are partnered with the actual demon sword, Ragnarok, in the pursuit of becoming a Kishin.

Their personality, described as introverted by Franken Stein and Soul Perception, is characterized by pessimism and a low self-opinion.

Growing up under the influence of Medusa Gorgon, Crona displays extreme negativity, nervousness, and submissiveness, which contribute to their mistreatment by Ragnarok.

Physically, Crona possesses an androgynous appearance with a slender body, pink hair, lavender eyes, and tall stature.

Their short hair consists of various clumps, with straight-cut bangs that reach just above the eyebrows, and two long hair extensions that hang over their face.

The Sailor Moon franchise has a ton of amazing characters to look forward to. Specifically for this list, I had no problem finding one fine character that fits the Purple Hair criteria.

Because that character was the beautiful Sailor Saturn. The real name of Sailor Saturn is Hotaru Tomoe which might surprise a few of you.

Moreover, not only is her hair purple but also her favorite one. Therefore, anyone looking for the Purple aesthetic can derive it from Sailor Saturn.

She is extremely shy and socially awkward. However, that doesn't stop her from being an excellent sailor that saves the world.

This adorable little girl comes from the anime we call The Suzumiya Haruhi series.

And wouldn't you know it, she is one of the most important characters in the series.

She is famous within the anime for being the only member of the SOS Brigade that wasn't voluntarily arrested.

Her appearance is that of a small girl but in terms of personality and character, she is quite a mature one.

If you are in search of a brilliant character from a brilliant series then Yuki can be your choice.
