(#12) Kazuma Kuwabara
- Yu Yu Hakusho
How can anyone not love Kazuma Kuwabara? In Yu Yu Hakusho's third episode, he doubles down on studying and learns to practice great self-restraint just so a friend of his can keep his job and continue supporting his lower-class family.
Kuwabara is the perfect friendly rival for Yusuke Urameshi, as both are hotheaded students that let their fists do most of the talking. However, where Yusuke is considered good-looking and a highly competent fighter, Kuwabara is commonly regarded as ugly and often struggles to obtain victory.
His unfaltering determination as a fighter (even after taking some serious Ls in the Dark Tournament saga) makes his eventual victory against Elder Toguro so much sweeter. Plus, he's never not acting like an adorable goofball.

(#6) Kamina
- Gurren Lagann
This one is a total no-brainer for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann fans. Seriously, Kamina is one of the best things about the anime.
Kamina's bombastic personality makes him an absolute blast to watch. Whereas Simon is often too timid, Kamina is loud, brave, and determined. It's easy to write him off as simple, but Kamina actually has some complexities to his character.
As he admits in the show, Kamina uses his outrageous personality to mask his own self-doubt, but no matter what, he remains a character that everyone loves to admire.

(#13) Ruri Gokou - Oreimo
With a lead character as loud and obnoxious as Kirino Kousaka, it's not hard to find one to surpass her in Oreimo. One that stands out in particular is the gothic Ruri Gokou, or Kuroneko, as she prefers to be called.
Like Kirino, Kuroneko is an obsessive otaku who writes pretentious doujinshi as well as novels that cater exclusively to her taste. However, Kuroneko's bashful side and sweet relationship with Kyousuke makes her far more palatable than Kirino.

(#9) Nicholas D. Wolfwood - Trigun
Vash the Stampede is a fun character to watch on Trigun, but once Nicholas D. Wolfwood steps onto the show, it's impossible to not want more. Fashion-wise, Wolfwood rocks the bad*ss preacher look with his slick shades and enormous cross-shaped gun.
His cool persona perfectly contrasts Vash's whimsical demeanor, and his surprise relationship with Milly Thompson is endearing to watch unfold. However, just like Vash, Wolfwood has a dark past that motivates him throughout the series. His abusive childhood drives him to raise money for the orphanage he runs, so that he can make sure other children won't suffer like he did.
-
(#8) Rock Lee
- Naruto, Naruto Shippūden, Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, Naruto Shippuden the Movie, Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire, Ninja World
Although the Naruto anime constantly paints its lead character as an outcast, Naruto's obnoxious behavior makes him hard to sympathize with. Plus, those Nine-Tailed Demon Fox powers of his always give him what feels like an unfair leg up on the competition.
Rock Lee, on the other hand, is the epitomic loveable underdog. Unlike most of the ninjas in the series, Rock Lee doesn't possess the skills to perform ninjutsu and genjutsu. However, through sheer determination, he is able to go toe-to-toe with the near-unstoppable Gaara using only his non-magic physical abilities.

(#3) Shoto Todoroki - My Hero Academia
Even with a cast full of superheros, Shoto Todoroki is still one of the most unique characters on My Hero Academia. He possesses the ability to control fire and ice, as hinted at by his dual-colored hair. However, he refuses to unleash his fire powers for two reasons.
First off, his ice powers can be used to defeat adversaries in a non-lethal manner. Secondly, his refusal is an act of rebellion against his parents, who raised him to become a weapon that could surpass All Might. These familial issues makes him incredibly sympathetic as a character
While his initially strict personality sharply contrasts with the lighthearted Izuku Midoriya, he learns to opens up more as the show goes on, much to the delight of fans.
