It’s no secret that anime, in all of its entirety, can be completely outlandish. One of the most startling aspects of anime for those who don’t watch it is the appearance of the characters themselves. A 14-year-old boy with green hair and six-pack abs? Anywhere else he would be made fun of, but in anime, that is the average shounen protagonist.
Anime characters have a delightful range of hair and eye colors, and this article will discuss the best pink-haired characters out there. The list will involve both girls and boys.
10 Morgiana From Magi: The Labyrinth Of Magic
When Aladdin and Alibaba Saluja met Morgiana for the first time, she was being taken away as a captive in order to be sold as a slave. She was thankful to them for saving her and decided to tag along with them.
Morgiana is mentally and physically very strong, but she has her moments of doubts and insecurities. She always considers herself as useless, which is why she always tries harder than Alibaba and Aladdin in all of their missions that she accompanies with them.
9 Lacus Clyne From Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
The Mobile Suit Gundam series is a science fiction anime, where Lacus is introduced in the series’ sequel, titled Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Initially, fans thought Lacus to be an airhead, which was fueled by her profession of being a music/pop idol.
But with the passage of a few episodes, it soon became clear through her many speeches that she was a deeply intellectual person. She would often be seen asking philosophical questions, which nobody could answer.
8 Renzou Shima From Blue Exorcist
The anime doesn’t reveal much about Shima or his past. He is simply known as the childhood friend of Miwa and Ryuuji, and someone who wants to be an excellent Exwire. He is shown to be very laidback, almost bordering on the lazy.
He doesn’t take anything seriously, but when the situation arises (like saving the lives of his friends) he’s right there on the front lines. Also, despite knowing about Rin’s past, he became his friend because he liked Rin as a person.
7 Rumiho Akiha From Steins;Gate
Also known as Faris NyanNyan, Akiha is Yukitaka Akiha's daughter who studies at the Kanaria Private Academy. She is the owner and employee at the maid café MayQueen, where Mayuri works as well.
She is able to understand people’s wants and desires quickly and she’s dubbed this ability of hers as Cheshire Break. One of her most noticeable features is the use of “nya” in her speech in order to appear cuter to people.
6 Mirai Kuriyama From Beyond The Boundary
As one can easily guess from her picture, Mirai is a cutie who’s a clutz. She is a descendant of the Spirit World Warriors, whose blood can be manipulated into forming deadly weapons. Mirai uses her abilities to defeat evil spirits all by herself.
She is initially wary of Akihito Kanbara but she soon warms up to him. She’s also terrible at lying (she avoids eye contact), something that Akihito figured out easily on his own.
5 Shihou Kimizuki From Seraph Of The End
Shihou is one of the many secondary characters from the vampire shounen series Seraph of the End. He is a true-blue tsundere aka a person who is cold on the outside but a softie on the inside. He is part of Shinoa’s squad in the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, and he commands a deadly demon weapon.
He’s an excellent student, maintains his distance from everyone, and works hard in order to provide military medical assistance to his sick sister.
4 Yui From Angel Beats!
Yui is shown to be a very cheerful and energetic young girl who often has trouble controlling what comes out of her mouth. In fact, her own band members (the SSS) believe her to be too loud at times. Despite that, she never lets the opinions of people get in the way of her enjoying her time.
It is believed that her bright personality is an overcompensation of the time when she was alive and bedridden ever since the age of four.
3 Ayato Sakamaki From Diabolic Lovers
As a vampire, Ayato actually possesses a surprising number of human qualities. He is an attention seeker, addresses himself as “ore” and is known to cause trouble wherever he can. He enjoys looking down on people and picking on those who are weaker than him.
In fact, this reverse harem character has very few redeeming qualities to him, seeing how he throws temper tantrums like a child and consistently mocks the heroine of the series with cruel words.
2 Jibril From No Game, No Life
As the descendant of the Flügel race, Jibril suffers from a strong superiority complex. She can often be seen speaking condescendingly to creatures that belong to races considered as inferior to hers. However, during the other times, she is always polite and soft spoken.
Knowledge excites her, which was one of the reasons why Sora’s tablet attracted her so much. She is also a woman of honor who hates cheating or being cheated on.
1 Kofuku Ebisu From Noragami
Kofuku’s appearance compliments her personality. She’s carefree and mischievous and can be a bit of an airhead at times. Very few people know of her true identity and that’s because she’s afraid of being judged and isolated by people due to it.
Despite causing chaos wherever she goes, she’s shown to be very loyal and dependable as a friend. She also doesn’t hesitate to intimidate others when she feels her friends are being threatened or facing imminent danger.
