None of these are in order:

Kira Yamato (Gundam Seed) This character is so real to me, like most of my favorite characters. He was just a normal teenage boy who one day found himself in trouble and was forced to become an adult within hours. No matter how hard things became for him he always toughed through it in order to save the happiness of his friends. All the while he wasn't emotionless, he cried just as other humans do. He also didn't like to kill, friend or foe.

Soujirro (Rurouni Kenshin) I was also going to put Kenshin in the list but decided to skip him since he's already on so many. Anyway, Soujirro is just an all around cool character. He learned to wield a sword and erase all his emotions, and become a ruthless killer with mad skills. It's not that he wanted to, just what life brought upon him.

Inu-Yasha (Inu-Yasha) Just goes to show you that every bad*** as a soft side, and no matter how strong you are, your emotions are stronger. He kept trying to pretend that he didn't love or care, but no matter how hard he swung the Tetsaiga, he could not cut those feelings away. His character showed that even a half-demon could love, and the further prove the point he became fully human every once in while. He even had the human-like challenge of choosing between two females he loved.

Trowa Barton (Gundam Wing) To me Trowa was always the mysterious character. You could figure the rest of the GW pilots out after watching them a few episodes, but Trowa isn't that easy. From the beginning he came in without a name, but chose to go by the name Trowa Barton. In this anime a man named Trowa Barton had previously passed away and he was famous with riches beyond riches in his name, one of the most well known figures in the world. So why did Trowa choose this name if he truely did not want to be in the attention of others, like he said? It's because he lied. Trowa tries to act cold and emotionless, like he doesn't care, but deep down inside he really does. Thats why later in the series he becomes close Heero, the guy he had most in common with. Trowa, the boy with the blank face, but the heart full of emotions.

Shikamaru (Naruto) The cool laid back guy. He worried me at the start of the series because I figured that he might get someone killed with not taking anything seriously, but he proved me wrong. He turned out to be perfect for the leader role, and always took the safety of his friends seriously. Just goes to show never judge a book by it's cover.
 
Here they are:
1. Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach): He's insanely strong, and never gives up. What else do ya need?

2. Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto): The character most like me in terms of character.

3. Saber (FSN): My anime waifu, the perfect woman.

4. Maj. Motoko Kusanagi (GitS): Everyone should have a fantasy about a woman who's hawt--and can kick your ass if she wants to!

5. Solomon (Blood+): The symbol of my love life...
 
I've not got a top five yet im still deciding but my first choice so far is Light Yagami I think. He is a very cold charachter who seems to be able to disregard even the most callous acts and I doubt there is a more calm and composed charachter than Light, I also like his cleverness, when he figures out all the different ways in which the deathnote works and how he uses them to his advantage, the situations he sets up to keep himself one step ahead of the police, joining the task force etc... I like how he doesn't seem ridiculously clever as though he doesnt make mistakes, for example when he is on the phone and his reaction lets the member of the yotziba group know that they already know who Kira is, L pointing out his mistake. I just like the charachters quiet and reserved portrayal and his dark, menacing interior that knows no limits. Sometimes you sort of admire Light, he has many desirable qualities such as composure, determination and courage, yet at other points I find myself disliking him as well as he acts so decietful. This could be said for lots of charachters but I think its particulaly applicable to Light. sorry if its too long.
 
1. Konata(Lucky Star) i do exactly what she does everyday, come home watch anime play games and sleep.X3
2. Hayate(Hayate no Gotoku) he has a sad past but thanks to it hes supa strong and cool, and its funny how unlucky he is.
3. Nishizawa (hayate no Gotoku) shes kool because she likes food as much as me!!
4. Koizumi (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) i like him coz hes an esper. and coz of his somewhat evil smile, he looks like hes plotting something, dont u agree??
5. Light (death note) light is like the smartest person ever!! he always stays calm cept for the last episode.
 
Kazu(air gear) he just grows steadly unlike ikki who power level jumps like a super sayian on steriods, he also is a little more sensitive then the rest of the group

Tsukune(Rosario+Vampire) because the girl hes in love with most of the time sees him as a blood bank but he stills goes along

Nagasumi(seto no hanayome) with his determation he survives all his assasins attempt on his life (mainly because he fights a guy with a rpg with a fish paste bun

Kira(Death Note) i see myself in him wanting to make the world a better place but using more barbaric means if neccesasry

BlackStar(soul eater) he keeps the story funny even when hes on the verge of death with his overblown ego i came to really like this charcter
 
My top 5 are...

1. Momiji Sohma (Fruits Basket)
He is fun, cute and energetic! I love his personality and he seems like the
kind of person I always want to be around. His attitude changes a lot towards the
end og the manga (teasing Kyo about Tohru and such) but I still am attracted to him.
 
My top five are...

1.) Gaara.

Gaara because, ever sinced I watched Volume 15. The third disc. I watched Gaara battled and I relized then why he was so important. He was also well known for being Shukaku. Something that he was bound to change to but, because, of Naruto's words that kept coming into his mind. He regretted to form to Shukaku of what his enemy wanted.

2.) Temari

I admire Temari because of her strength and the way she fights. Temari is a strong wind user and her wind cyclone sythe jutsu is
majorly impressive.

3.) Sasuke.

Sasuke's the most impressive and even taught me a lot. The most important thing he ever taught me was that you don't know how someone feels unless your in their position. And I now feel his anger towards Itachi because it makes sense unlike before. Why?. Because, I used to have that same hatred feeling as he doe's against someone else and now I know how he felt.

4.) Sakura.

Sakura because, she very strong in the video games as well as the anime shows. Even though she keeps fighting with Ino because, of Sasuke. Her strength and appearence in the series is very impressive.

5.) Naruto

I admire Naruto for all is never giving up words. He taught me that If I never give up I can suceed no matter what.

and those are MY top five people and reasons why.
 
1. Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop) - A space bounty hunter, making tons of cash, shootin' guns, often smoking a cigarette under No Smoking signs. True rebel.

2.Holland Novak (Eureka Seven) - Holland could get the job done no matter what it was. Always had a plan, a born leader. Also had a short temper, but still protected the ones he loved.

3. Eureka (Eureka Seven) - I like Eureka mostly because she can almost communicate with machines and see their feelings, I think thats pretty cool. Also hawt in the earlier episodes.

4. Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z) - Vegeta was the original "badass" in dragon ball Z, watching DBZ when I was younger I thought he was really cool.

5. Light Yagami (Death Note) - I admired Light's cold heartedness and intellegence throughout the series. He could basically out-smart or kill anyone he wanted, and get away with it.
 
Well my top 5 anime characters are:


Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop): simply because he is cool, calm and collected. A non-conformist and a rebel. He is somewhat of an anti-hero but definitely one you can count on.

Lockon Stratos (Gundam 00): mature and has a great sense of duty towards his teammates. And he is a natural team leader that sticks up for his mates even if it means sacrificing his own life.

Makunouchi Ippo (Hajime No Ippo): possess an awesome sense of focus. He begins with having none of that but realistically grows more confident, more passionate and more focused throughout the series. Now that's something. A realistic character that we all can relate to.

Akutabi Gamma (Zombie Powder): just your typical bad-ass hero. Has awesome powers, a dark past and just knows how to treat your teammates well.

Miyamoto Mushashi (Vagabond): besides his natural talent as a fighter, he is stoic, reflective and is the quintessential of an awesome fighter that is prepared both mentally and physically.
 
These fabulous people:

B Rabbit Alice{Pandora Hearts} She's got the whole tsundere thing going on. She's a tough girl who knows how to fight! Alice is my favorite because as the story progresses you discover more and more about her and that's something that's been lacking in most of the anime I see lately. {Unless I'm watching all the crappy animes.}

Emna Ai{Hell Girl or Jigoku Shojo} She's awesome-point blank. I love how she's some sort of hitman or something. -Pulls doll string- And she's here. "Who's da dood I gotta take to heck?" No personal questions asked, she gets the job done without letting emotion get in the way.
 
1) Kagome Higurashi: I've loved her from the first time I laid eyes on her, not just because of my fetish for the seifuku, but also because she can be stubborn, feisty but at the same time she has such a kind-heart and deep inside cares about her co's. A motherly figure to Shippo. Also, she's really cute.

2) May/Haruka: Probably the only girl in Pokemon that I've ever loved, I don't know why but she seems the sexiest to me. o.o

3) Goku: I've idolized him since way back, when I watched Dragon Ball, 'nuff said.

4) L: Epic character from Death Note, I favour his character.

5) Jin: He's from Samurai Champloo and I love his attitude.
 
1. Kiba (Wolf's rain) : That character is simply beautiful, as the voice actor playing him explained : a wolf of few words. His overall pride and his beautiful transformation to the majestic white wolf also reminded me a bit of white fang.

2. Edward Elric (FMA) : The combination of his past, the dialogues given to him.
Also in my opinion the most human character in all anime, and a cool voice actor playing you doesn't hurt eiter

3. Guts (Berserk) : The name fits him well, in my eyes the toughest character to ever exist, if you've seen the last episode in the anime, and remember the heartbreaking scene combined with animalistic instincts to get rid of your own arm in order to escape the trap.

4. Hitsugaya (Bleach) : What you would call completely shallow reasons... Everything about him is cool, and i love ice, again the same voice actor that does Edward Elric give it the boost .

5. Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto ) : The most inspirational character since Goku in DBZ, being able to create shivers of excitement down my spine, having the most beautiful angry stage transofrmation in all the animes i've seen, and having such a tragic yet beautiful backround at the same time.
He's ranked fifth because some of his personality traits are annoying.
 
Not in any order (as I like them equally):
1) Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell)-she's tough (unlike other stereotypical female characters) has an obsession with computers, which I can relate to, since I like computer science...
2) Near (aka. Nate River) (Death Note) -he's brilliant and bold...how can I not like him?
3) Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass) - he dresses funny, but at least he's a mastermind; I "admire" his ability to strategize.
4) Cagalli Yula Attha (Gundam Seed/Destiny) - I find her emo moments to be a bit overdramatic, but she's a strong person, for immersing herself in the nitty-gritty realities of war (as averse to spoiling herself, making her un-like a stereotypical anime princess
5) Flay Allster (Gundam Seed) - From a personal standpoint, I hate her. But when I look at her (overall) role and how she contrasts from other characters, she makes the GS plot interesting.
 
This is tough, but I can do it.
1. Broly (Dragonball Z) He had 4 Super Saiyans and 1 Super Namek fighting him, and he STILL didn't go down until Goku absorbed all of his friend's power.

2. Edward Elric (FMA) He has fought off plenty of powerful foes, and he can change his ARM into a SWORD.

3. Gaara (Naruto) He can kill you, when you're not expecting it! You could just be sitting in your sandbox and then BAM. Desert Coffin.

4. Alucard (Hellsing) The ability to reform from almost all attacks, AND turn into a black hellhound of death, pure win.

5. Yusuke (Yu Yu Hakusho) At the beginning of the Series he was some random punk, who then became a spirit detective!, who then beat TOGURO, who then learned he was a DEMON. He is just the most awesome character on this list. Oh yeah He has a spirit gun!
 
1. Vash the Stampede from Trigun - cuz he's an alien and he rocks!
2. Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop - cuz he's like Bruce Lee with guns and cigarettes.
3. Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) - cuz he could kick a god's a$$ with his sakaba (reversed edge) sword.
4. Andri from Tenshinma (indie live-action anime) - cuz he reminds me of my little bro and he's probably got some kind of gun kata skills like Vash or Spike.
5. Jubei from Ninja Scroll - cuz he's almost as good as Kenshin, but he's still a bona fide bad a$$ with a sword...especially when he's pissed.
 
1. L (death note)
He is simply too awesome . He can be known worldwide but at the same time his being is a compleate[sp?] mystery . He's childish and does whatever it takes to not lose (adorable, ne? ).

2.Kagura (Gintama)
She is just hilarious . There hasn't been a single time she hasnt made me laugh . I also admire her strenght . Childish and awesum ~

3. Grimmjow (Bleach)
I just cant explain this one . The first time he showed up in bleach i was like 'OMG so cool' . I guess that i like how badass he seems and his looks arent bad neither ^^

4. Karen (Code Geass)
I love her nature . The way she is . Also how she wants to stand out as Japanese altouh that would make many people hate her. And she's cool when fighting too . Well . Awesome girl I say ~

5. Nekozawa - senpai (ouran high school host club)
I chose him because under that dark and scary appearence is a blonde prince-like character . When I found out that he was wearing a black-haired wig i laughed like a maniac, he's cute in his own gloomy way .
 
Aw man I totally forgot "L" from Death Note. Damn if there was a top 10, he'd be up there because his genius really shines through in the series, which I have to admit was a very intelligent series, especially for an anime!!!!
 
L Lawliet - bcoz he has justice and his cool (oyeah!)

Tatsuma Hiyuu - a loving adopted child

Lelouch vi Britannia - a very loving brother and wants peace for the world

Takasu Ryuji - very kind

Watari - very kind also

2. Edward elric (full metal alchemist) because hes awesome and funny when ppl call him short.
3. Roy mustang (full metal alchemist) i think his famous quote speaks for itself "WHEN IM FHURER ALL FEMALE OFFICERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO WEAR TINY MINISKIRTS"
4. Gluttony (full metal alchemist) cause he's fat, clumsy and always hungry and i lol everytime i see him except when hes angry then he's scary.
5. Nagisa furukawa (Clannad/Clannad: after story) she's cute, quiet, innocent and dosen't deserve what happens to her in episode 16 ~crying face:'(~

and the list could go on and on but ill stop at 5 because well i have to
 
1-pein - pein is my favorite because his eyes was nothing like the other in fact his eyes were unique
