How to Look Like a Male Anime Character
The anime globe is a wild one. Lots of androgyny to get effectually, that'southward for sure.
Sometimes a character's gender isn't even stated in some shows, since it doesn't add anything to the character.
In this listing I desire to share some of the most notable androgynous characters from anime shows & movies.
So characters whose gender tin can't be figured out, whose gender is oft mistaken in the testify itself, or characters who simply don't identify equally either gender. Let's check 'em out!
25. Nagisa Shiota
![Nagisa Shiota from Assassination Classroom anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/25-nagisa-shiota-assassination-classroom.jpg)
Anime: Bump-off Classroom
At first glance no one could fault you lot for assuming Nagisa is a girl, given that the character has very soft features, and is very docile (unless he wants to impale yous that is).
And the long pilus could easily trip you upwardly.
Only this inversion of expectations is really very important for the character of Nagisa. As (small spoiler alert) he was forced to look that way by his mother.
Since she always wanted a girl, she gave Nagisa an androgynous name, let his hair down, and had him clothing girly clothes.
But of class, all of that does little to stop Nagisa from existence i of the best assassins, and peradventure fifty-fifty best kissers.
24. Saika Totsuka
![Saika Totsuka from My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/24-saika-totsuka-my-teen-romantic-comedy-snafu.jpg)
Anime: My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU
In a show that's all well-nigh finding your true cocky and working on your outlook on life, it was a good choice to have Saike as a character.
Being the helm of the tennis club and more often than not an splendid athlete, Saika definitely fits the bill of the usual perception of masculinity.
However, he has a very feminine wait to him. And isn't emotionally constipated as I judge men are supposed to exist.
So his gender is brought into question a few times during the show.
He's such a nice person and is adored by guys and girls akin, so information technology seems that he hitting the perfect residue in my opinion.
23. Crona
![Crona Soul Eater anime screenshot](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/23-crona-soul-eater-anime.jpg)
Anime: Soul Eater
Crona's gender is fully ambiguous. Information technology was never disclosed in the show, and some have interpreted that fact every bit integral to their graphic symbol.
You lot see, Crona did non have an like shooting fish in a barrel time growing upwards. Their female parent constantly brought them down.
This led to Crona questioning their self-worth and even what the futurity holds.
So in a way, Crona themselves is ambiguous.
They feel they cannot define themselves while nether the tyrant boot of their mother.
Information technology does go better for Crona later on, thank god. Nakama ability!
22. Envy
![Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/22-envy-fullmetal-alchemist-screenshot.jpg)
Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist
In a similar fashion to Crona, Envy'southward gender is never revealed. And probably for a reason.
Green-eyed is a shapeshifter, meaning they tin chose to be either gender if they then wish, and they commonly chose a course that'southward somewhat in between the two.
This fits with their character quite well, because Green-eyed wants to have it all. So if they were a male person, they would want to be female and vice versa.
Regardless, they're a nasty Homunculi, that's for certain.
21. Haku
![Haku Naruto anime screenshot](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/21-haku-naruto-anime-screenshot.jpg)
Anime: Naruto
We know that Haku is a male. But honestly I feel similar he couldn't care less what gender he was.
Haku is devoted to the homo who saved him, Zabuza, and his grapheme is focused on just protecting him.
He does take somewhat feminine features, with the long hair and ironically soft optics, which he uses to slip through the hamlet and leave people lowering their guards.
In authenticity he's a vehement ninja, even getting the bad male child prodigy Sasuke to fall to his knees.
20. Orochimaru
![Orochimaru Boruto anime screenshot](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/20-orochimaru-boruto-anime-screenshot.jpg)
Anime: Boruto
I recollect watching Naruto when Orochimaru first stepped onto the scene.
And their form looked similar a adult female. But once they had shown their truthful form, it was widely understood that they're a male.
Yet with Boruto coming out, Orochimaru actually came out equally gender fluid.
And this made a lot of sense. I mean, they alter bodies so often, have died and resurrected so often, that the concept of biological sex really seems to be lost on them.
And mentally, they probably don't care.
I mean information technology's not a scientific breakthrough or a pair of powerful Uchiha eyes.
19. Griffith
![Griffith from Berserk anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/19-griffith-berserk-anime-screenshot.jpg)
Anime: Berserk
I'm personally directly, simply human being, Griffith is i proficient looking dude.
When describing Griffith's appearance I'm much more inclined to say beautiful instead of handsome. His features are androgynous, simply leaning more towards the soft, gentle side.
And he definitely uses this to his advantage. His advent plus charisma and intellect accept made him a powerful leader.
And when it'due south time to prove his truthful strength, he will not hesitate to let thousands of heads curl… so non all that soft if you're going up against him.
18. Haruhi Fujioka
![Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran High School Host Club](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/18-haruhi-fujioka-ouran-high-school-host-club.jpg)
Anime: Ouran High School Host Club
I mean, Haruhi's androgynous nature is the fundamental premise of the show. So you lot knew this 1 was coming.
In short, she gets mistaken for a male child and starts working in a man'southward host gild to pay off her debt.
This means talking to a lot of rich ladies and making them experience special.
And it's not so much the instance that Haruhi is dressing up as a boy and merely wants the money, but more and so that she really doesn't seem to care almost her biological gender and thinks that personality is the merely affair that matters type of a bargain.
Okay, she does as well want the money.
17. Hange Zoë
![Hange Zoë from Attack on Titan anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/17-hange-zoe-attack-on-titan-screenshot.jpg)
Anime: Attack on Titan
Hange is a scrap of an odd one.
In the anime she'southward very much a female. However in the manga, her gender was never mentioned.
For the anime I think she falls under a similar scenario equally Orochimaru, minus the whole reincarnation thing. She is only a scientist at her core (in the anime) and that'south all she cares about.
She can be a complete sadist and exemplify a terrifying fury, merely she can also evidence lots of sympathy.
I feel like she's a lilliputian bit of everything. But the primal aspect of her character will e'er be her work, and non what chromosomes she has.
16. Inukashi
![Inukashi No.6 anime screenshot](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/16-inukashi-no-6-anime-screenshot.jpg)
Anime: No.6
Inukashi was non dealt the best hand in life.
So when looking for apparel it's less about what gender these clothes would best fit, and more if they're warm and bachelor.
Haircuts are seemingly as well an unnecessary expense, and so we as the audience aren't really given any visual cues as to their gender.
It has been implied that they're a male, though. As when Inukashi is addressed as such, they don't correct anyone.
Only honestly this one's all up in the air.
Dogs don't intendance what gender y'all are, and then I'k pretty sure Inukashi is just every bit uninterested.
xv. Hideyoshi Kinoshita
![Hideyoshi Kinoshita from Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/15-hideyoshi-kinoshita-baka-to-test-to-shoukanjuu.jpg)
Anime: Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
Hideyoshi as a character is pretty solid.
He's very kind and lovable.
He looks a lot like his sister, and I mean a lot, which is why his gender is put into question multiple times throughout the show.
Nevertheless, the show does push this agenda quite a fleck.
I hateful at one signal he's made to change in the female lockers, even though he's a male, and later is given a separate locker and bath and dubbed the "tertiary gender".
Kind of offensive I'd imagine, but once again Hideyoshi himself is pretty chill. So he nonetheless deserves a spot hither no thing what.
14. Rimuru Tempest
![Rimuru Tempest from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/14-rimuru-tempest-that-time-i-got-reincarnated-as-a-slime.jpg)
Anime: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Reincarnations are e'er a bit tricky. Particularly if what they reincarnate as does not take a gender.
And equally the championship might advise, Rimuru (who was formerly male person) was reincarnated as a slime. Hey, that's the name of the evidence!
And every bit a slime they're kind of just a blob, so no leads there.
Now they practice gain a human form later on on that seems to exist kind of feminine. But let's be honest, information technology's just a form they like to have on.
In every way they're basically agendered (is that a word?)
Fifty-fifty character-wise they're androgynous, and then not fitting into the stereotype of either gender.
13. Ruka Urushibara
![Ruka Urushibara from Steins;Gate anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/13-ruka-urushibara-steins-gate-anime.jpg)
Anime: Steins;Gate
Don't cancel me for this one, I'grand very aware that she identifies as female.
In fact it has been her dream to reincarnate equally a female, every bit she feels that's her true self.
Yet, she'southward biologically male person, which is played up a few times as none of the characters believe her.
So considering that virtually no i got that she was a male person without being told, I remember she's fit for this list.
Plus I simply like writing nigh her. Ruka is the most badass samurai ever.
12. Gowther
![Gowther Seven Deadly Sins anime screenshot](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/12-gowther-seven-deadly-sins-anime-screenshot.jpg)
Anime: 7 Mortiferous Sins
Okay, this pick I am basing more than on my experience as a viewer, than the world itself.
Personally, I idea that Gowther was a female because of his smaller stature, compared to the other male characters, and the vivid pinkish hair.
All the same (and this is somewhat of a spoiler) technically the Gowther we run across is agender in the biological sense. I hateful, information technology is a doll, and identifies as a male, as the creator of the doll was a male.
11. Inosuke Hashibira
![Inosuke Hashibira from Demon Slayer anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/11-inosuke-hashibira-demon-slayer-anime.jpg)
Anime: Demon Slayer
If you're non caught upwardly with the bear witness, this pick will definitely confuse you.
This is because when Inosuke is introduced he'due south every bit "manly" as i can get.
He wears a boar head over his confront, he'due south honestly jacked every bit hell, loves boxing, loves competition, doesn't care much for rules, or hygiene for that matter… simply a rough and tough dude, am I right?
But when his face is revealed, we see that he has a very soft, feminine, lowkey kawaii face.
Something more fit for a rocker daughter.
So yeah, although it's rare, Inosuke is a fleck androgynous himself.
ten. Kurapika
![Kurapika Hunter x Hunter anime screenshot](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/10-kurapika-hunter-x-hunter-anime.jpg)
Anime: Hunter x Hunter
Kurapika is an interesting one for me. I always but knew he was a guy, withal while searching online I saw that a lot of people were confused on the subject.
Particularly if they only watched the original series.
And I kind of go it. His wearing apparel don't really give annihilation away, and since he's young his facial features are pretty soft and round.
However, once he puts on that black adjust there are no questions about it.
ix. Grell Sutcliff
![Grell Sutcliff from Black Butler anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/09-grell-sutcliff-black-butler-anime.jpg)
Anime: Black Butler
Grell's gender is a wild ride.
While watching the show I idea they were female, equally they referred to themselves equally a "lady".
Just once I got into the wikis online I saw that they're agender.
Just so I read that in the manga, 3rd volume, some say that they're a male.
But, and this is the final plot twist I swear, they want to accept a sex alter making them potentially transgender.
I chose to use "they" as god knows I got lost in the chronology.
Grell does have excellent gustation in butlers, I tin can say that much.
viii. Kino
![Kino from Kino's Journey anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/08-kino-from-kinos-journey-anime.jpg)
Anime: Kino's Journey
Just like a few of the characters on here, we know Kino's gender.
Still she definitely had the world fooled.
She originally presents herself as a male, probably so it would be easier to travel. And then she would be taken more seriously.
However, her travel buddy finds out the truth a few episodes in.
Fifty-fifty the proper name Kino isn't her existent proper noun. Information technology was only an homage to the man who saved her equally a child.
Man, she's but rocking that await though.
7. Dororo
![Dororo from Dororo anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/07-dororo-from-dororo-anime.jpg)
Anime: Dororo
This is kind of adulterous every bit she'south a child, so yous know information technology'southward a lot harder to tell these things.
Nut she did portray herself as a man. To a certain degree she even came off equally the stereotypical young male character, as she was very unapologetic, rowdy, over the summit, and took quite a few beatings.
It's only much later in the show that we learn that she is in fact a girl.
Well, at least biologically.
Dororo was brought up equally a boy and believes that he's a male child, hence why I probably should have used masculine pronouns, no?
half dozen. Ryo Asuka
![Ryo Asuka Devilman Crybaby anime screenshot](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/06-ryo-asuka-devilman-crybaby-anime.jpg)
Anime: Devilman Crybaby
Okay major spoilers for this one, then fair warning alee!
If you have not watched the show plough away while you still tin can.
So, at first Ryo is definitely a male. And I really didn't see putting that into question as a possibility for the show.
However, in the terminal episodes we're shown their true form.
Ryo is Satan, and then agender in that regard. Or even female if you desire to get by the chest size ratio.
Did I see this coming? No.
Am I actually stretching the definition of androgynous? A bit.
5. Sui
![Sui from Darwin's Game anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/05-sui-darwins-game-screenshot.jpg)
Anime: Darwin's Game
Somehow this seems even more than controversial than my list choice.
So Sui is in all regards a female.
However, she actually shares her trunk with her twin brother Souta and they seem to swap around every so often.
So in that regard, if we're going by the definition of personal gender and non biological, the state of affairs is a bit up in the air here. Equally you never know which one you're speaking to.
four. Kenji Hikiishi
![Kenji Hikiishi Boku no Hero Academia anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/04-kenji-hikiishi-boku-no-hero-academia.jpg)
Anime: Boku no Hero Academia
Magne is definitely an interesting one.
Not only is she the first character that has a gender specific quirk, merely she's besides the beginning trans woman (at least that I know of) to be featured on a show as pop as Boku no Hero Academia.
She has a very masculine epitome with broad shoulders, a stout build, and even some facial pilus. However, she ever referred to herself every bit a female. Thus, shall exist my queen.
3. Greyness
![Grey from Black Clover anime](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/03-grey-black-cover-anime-screenshot.jpg)
Anime: Black Clover
Some other shapeshifter pulled a fast one on united states boys!
Yeah, that big husky human who seemed to really savor his pipe and silence, was really an extremely shy girl.
But fifty-fifty once her true form was revealed, I honestly wasn't likewise sure of her gender.
If dandere was a gender, I feel similar she would fit correct in.
She usually simply panics and either covers her face, or turns into someone else. I swear yous can't trust these shapeshifters.
2. Leeron Littner
![Leeron Littner from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/02-leeron-littner-tengen-toppa-gurren-lagann.jpg)
Anime: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Accept you ever noticed how few male anime characters are openly homosexual in anime? Beyond a prove similar Yuri on Ice, it e'er just seems similar a bromance, at least to me.
For this reason, it kind of flew right over my head that Leeron is actually a man.
And might I add, he's the most flamboyant, extra, sassy queen, give him a spin off already, character e'er.
I know I mentioned this already too, just every bit a genius inventor I always saw Leeron just for his work, and occasional gag. Then the whole sexuality and gender affair just flew correct over my caput.
1. Mugaro
![Mugaro Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis anime screenshot](https://static.fandomspot.com/images/08/8557/01-mugaro-shingeki-no-bahamut-genesis.jpg)
Anime: Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis (Rage of Bahamut)
I experience like whenever devils and angels come into play, androgynous characters come out of it.
As far every bit Mugaro is concerned, nosotros know that he'south a boy.
However, depending on what scene you meet him in, your judgement will probably range from "That girl is so adorable" to "Why are my trap senses tingling?"
Especially when he puts the hood on and we can only see his face. Considering that's the near innocent cutest face I accept e'er seen on a man.
