15 Anime Characters That Make Great Role Models –

Role models may be fictitious or non-fictional characters. The only thing that counts is whether or not they have an impact on the lives of others.

Of course, we must also make an effort to mimic “excellent” role models, whether or not they are actual. For the right reasons, no less!

After all, no one will take seriously someone who claims Sasuke is their role model because he’s “edgy and groovy.”

By the way, no offense if any of you do this. Isn’t it all about self-improvement?

Fortunately for us anime lovers, there are a plethora of characters that can serve as excellent role models. So let’s take a look at some of the most notable.

 

Erza Scarlet is 15 years old.

Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail anime

Fairy Tail is a Japanese animated television series.

First off, we have one of Fairy Tail’s most simped waifus, who also happens to be one of the guild’s most powerful magicians.

Erza is not only brave, but she is also compassionate, kind, and protective of people she loves.

She may not express it much, but she values her guild and regards her guildmates as family. She would go to any length to defend them – and, by extension, to strengthen herself.

To that end, she places a high importance on discipline and a strong work ethic when it comes to training and battle.

Overall, she’s the ideal guildmate and role model to have.

She has it all: the beauty, the attitude, and the style.

 

Izuku Midoriya (14), Izuku Midoriya (14), Izuku

Izuku Midoriya in My Hero Academia

My Hero Academia is an anime series based on the manga My Hero Academia.

We’ve got someone who doesn’t have anything going for him. He used to, at least.

Someone who had little opportunities in life until he met his master and predecessor, All Might, one of history’s greatest heroes.

Deku was a loser before he gained his abilities. Bakugo and other kids bullied him because he was weak and a crybaby.

His can-do attitude, despite the fact that he lacks a Quirk, is commendable.

He has both the guts to intervene in any risky circumstance and the will to either overtrain or even sacrifice his body in order to rescue others.

You may say what you want about Deku, but he’s far from a quitter or a coward. Simply said, with or without his One For All, he’s hero material.

 

Yuji Itadori (age 13)

Sorcery Fight is a Japanese anime series.

Yuji Itadori is no exception to the rule that shounen characters make excellent role models.

He owes a lot of this to his grandpa, who reared him and shaped him into the lively, extroverted, and always-helpful MC we know and love today.

He’s the kind of person who puts his life on the line for strangers.

Itadori embodies the concept of the “selfless hero,” which is why Sukuna was bonded to him.

What would have occurred if it had been someone else?

Only Itadori has both the resolve and the guts to restrain (and sometimes even negotiate with) this terrifying creature.

I don’t know about you, but since viewing a particular doctor and dimension-eating space creature, I haven’t seen somebody with such balls.

 

Edward Elric, age 12

Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a Japanese anime series.

Ed could be a little low in stature.

However, his large amounts of care and empathy more than make up for it.

He’s the epitome of a character with brains and curiosity, both of which he has in spades.

Sure, he was a touch too naive and obstinate in his youth, and even later in the show, but what matters is that he’s prepared to accept responsibility for his errors.

Furthermore, it has been made quite obvious throughout the series that Ed prioritizes his family above all else.

After all, he’ll go to any length to protect his little brother, even sacrificing his limbs and even his soul.

 

Kamina is number eleven.

Kamina in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann anime

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is a Japanese anime series.

Kamina is the most perfect aniki a person could ever aspire for, and I’m sure some of you will agree with me.

First and foremost, he is the catalyst for Simon’s development into the man he is at the conclusion of the series.

He never hesitates to use his talks and insightful words to lift the formerly weak but optimistic child whenever he is down.

When all, there’s a reason why his whole squad was so upset after he died.

Even the manner he left was badass, stemming from his desire to protect his colleagues. What a character!

 

Senku Ishigami is number ten.

Senku Ishigami from Dr. Stone anime

Dr. Stone (Anime)

If you like studying and science, you cannot do better than to look up to Senku as a role model.

After all, he has every quality that a scientist should possess.

He has a high level of curiosity, intellect, enthusiasm, and grit, to name a few qualities. More significantly, he is willing to try out new ideas in order to tackle any issue that arises.

Senku is one of the most inventive and innovative characters in all of anime.

Sure, you don’t have Senku’s 200+ IQ. But what’s preventing you from putting the same amount of heart and soul into something you care about?

 

Koro-Sensei (No. 9)

Koro-Sensei in Assassination Classroom anime

Assassination Classroom (anime)

Koro-sensei may have lost his human appearance before becoming the homeroom teacher of class 3-E, but he certainly demonstrates more humanity than most people nowadays.

He’s a beast designed to kill, yet he’d much rather spend time with his pupils and keep them safe.

In some ways, it’s ironic, since he built a reputation for himself as an assassin long before teaching a group of assassins.

However, given all he’s done for his beloved class, it’s fair to say he’s more than made up for his mistakes.

In the end, he accepted the fact that he would die. But at the very least, he went to sleep knowing that his pupils were protected.

 

Miyuki Shirogane, No. 8

Miyuki Shirogane from Kaguya-sama: Love is War

Kaguya-sama: Love is War is a Japanese anime.

Miyuki Shirogane, in all honesty, is the ideal role model for students and young people alike.

He may not have the abilities that the majority of the individuals on this list have. When it comes to his work and study ethic, though, he is not in the least degree eclipsed by them.

After all, this is the same person who adores his part-time work and studies till he falls asleep in order to be at the top of his class.

How did he get his infamous eyebags, anyway?

Shirogane also has the patience to wait for his crush to confess first. Though most of the time I wish he wasn’t…

 

Tanjiro Kamado, No. 7

Tanjiro Kamado in Demon Slayer anime

Demon Slayer is a Japanese anime series.

Few anime characters come close to Tanjiro when it comes to loving and caring for his family.

And yes, it includes the majority of Shounen characters, which is quite a feat.

When it comes to his family, he’s someone who would make Dominic Toretto proud with his bravery and loyalty.

This extends not just to Nezuko, but also to Tanjiro’s friends and associates, for whom Tanjiro would give his life at a moment’s notice.

A Demon Slayer’s task is never done. Tanjiro, on the other hand, isn’t one to give up easy. You know, what with his family’s support and all.

 

6. Yona

Yona Akatsuki no Yona anime screenshot

Akatsuki no Yona is a Japanese anime series.

Whatever you may think of this princess, I believe she is an excellent example of how someone may improve through time.

Yona began as a joyful, kind, but privileged persona, which is no secret (if not spoiled).

She was, in fact, at times a little too innocent and uneducated, and she is far from being a suitable role model.

Her character is saved by the fact that she was prepared to alter her mind about the world as soon as she was able to live in it.

This is difficult to accomplish, particularly for someone like her who was nurtured in a world of vanity and wealth.

Nonetheless, this crazed lass managed to pull it off!

 

Usagi Tsukino is a character in the anime Usagi Tsukino.

Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon anime

Sailor Moon is a Japanese anime series.

Magical girls, oh my.

What greater role models could there be than people who are physical embodiments of love and justice?

Usagi Tsukino, on the other hand, is not your typical magical girl.

After all, she, like the majority of the characters on this list, has weaknesses. But it was her eagerness to grow as a person that made her all the more intriguing as a character.

Tsukino has never taken her abilities for granted, whether via training or growing after each hardship and tribulation, and has worked her tail off to be worthy of her position as Sailor Moon.

She’s not simply a cutesy magical girl with the normal desirable qualities, but a more realistic one who recognizes she still has a lot to learn.

 

4. Freecss Gon

Gon Freecss in Hunter x Hunter anime

Hunter x Hunter is a Japanese anime series.

Gon Freecss is often mentioned when it comes to young anime MCs who were properly nurtured by a loving father.

This is particularly intriguing since Mito isn’t even Gon’s mother, but she was able to nurture him to be such a pleasant and cheery person.

And she did it all by herself, to boot!

After all, we all know Ging isn’t quite deserving of the title of “Father of the Year.”

In retrospect, I believe he actually earned Leorio’s tremendous punch!

That said, Gon is a terrific role model simply because of his easygoing and upbeat attitude toward life.

Furthermore, he isn’t wholly innocent and naïve. He understands when he needs to protect himself and his comrades, but he has a tendency to go overboard at times.

 

Monkey D. Luffy is the third character in the series.

Monkey D. Luffy One Piece anime screenshot

One Piece is a popular anime series.

“The true treasure is sometimes the people we make along the road.”

Luffy, the commander of the Straw Hats and an aspiring Pirate King, is one of the few anime characters that fully embraces this notion.

Despite being a pirate, Luffy goes above and beyond stereotypes, caring more for his Nakama than any amount of fame and wealth.

He never, and I mean never, disappoints his pals. And he was willing to put his life on the line over and over again simply to see them safe.

To be sure, Luffy is a difficult role model to follow. But I believe we’ll be alright if we value our friendships even half as much as this man does!

 

2. Mighty Man

Might Guy from Naruto anime

Naruto is a Japanese anime series.

When it comes to dudes, we have Might Guy, the finest of them all!

He is the leader of Team 9 (or Team Guy) and is regarded as one of Konohagakure’s and the world’s most powerful ninjas.

After all, he is the guy who came dangerously close to defeating Uchiha Madara with just his Taijutsu, earning him the nickname “The Strongest” from Madara.

Given this, it’s difficult to believe Guy is still the same talentless boy from his past.

You know, the one who sucked at ninjutsu and was mocked by practically everyone?

This stunning turn of events demonstrates Guy’s tenacity as one of his series’ most resilient characters. And he is unquestionably deserving of our appreciation and respect!

 

1. Guts

Guts in Berserk anime

Berserk is a Japanese anime series.

Sure, I wouldn’t advocate him to children as a role model. I would, though, for grownups who grasp the complexities of what makes Guts a “good” role model.

As we all know, not everyone (even in the actual world) is fortunate enough to have a happy upbringing, a caring environment in which to grow up, and a lavish lifestyle.

Guts didn’t have any of these advantages.

Finally, this is what I meant when I said that you should choose a role model for the proper reasons.

You don’t worship Guts merely because he’s a dark, ferocious thug who never backs down in the face of strong demons from hell.

Instead, you should revere him since he’s a psychologically indestructible individual who hasn’t lost his path despite facing several setbacks.

That’s the kind of person I aspire to be. What are your thoughts?
