  • Here’s Proof That the Best Anime Characters Have White Hair

    Should we make another list, or did your faves make the cut?

    Written By:

    One thing all anime fans will agree on is that white-haired anime characters are usually the strongest, most extraordinary and hottest. If a character has white hair or goes through problems that turn his hair white, be ready for some well-deserved action.

    Gojo Satoru 鈥 Jujutsu Kaisen

    At first, he gives off lazy energy, but real anime fans know characters like him are usually super strong. With his eyepatch on, he鈥檚 the playful and annoying sensei to his students, but the moment the mask comes off power pass power. Gojo is an arrogant but highly-skilled sorcerer no one should cross.

    Ken Kaneki 鈥 Tokyo Ghoul

    To be honest, Kaneki was a loser until he had the “character development” that turned his hair white. He turned into a ghoul who needs to eat people to survive, but this man chooses to drink coffee instead to suppress his hunger, in his saviour era for real. Kaneki has that good-boy-gone-bad arch going for him, and I love it. His fight scenes are a pleasure to watch and watching him casually save the world like it’s another Tuesday never gets old. 

    Kakashi 鈥 Naruto

    The internet lost its mind when we realised this man just casually reads for fun in public. But there鈥檚 more to him than being a whore. Kakashi motivates his students to be their best selves. Imagine being the student of a , teaching the Hokage, and then becoming a Hokage yourself. Being as strong as the main character, whose power is half demon, is just goated. 

    Killua 鈥 Hunter x Hunter

    Don’t be deceived by his cuteness. Don’t even go near when he’s in assassin mode because that鈥檒l be the end for you. Killua takes self-confidence to another level, but you’d do the same if you were undefeatable. He’s also a super great friend and is always amused for someone with an intensely tragic backstory.

    Todoroki 鈥 My Hero Academia

    To be fair, Todoroki isn’t purely white-haired, but he gets a pass because, if push comes to shove, he’d have pure white hair to erase the red that reminds him of his dad. He鈥檚 the epitome of calm and collected. His powers are dramatic but get the work down. His growth as a person is chef kiss, and he’s a safe space for fans with daddy issues

    Najenda – Akame Ga Kill

    There鈥檚 no way anyone would watch Akame Ga Kill and not fall in love with Najenda. She starts as this super cool general whose hobby is killing people. But鈥 mention one anime hero who hasn鈥檛 killed someone. Exactly. She鈥檚 also funny and has this super cool 鈥渋nspector gadget鈥 arm that gives her character sauce. What鈥檚 better than a strong white-haired character? A funny badass one, thank you.  

    Shougo Makishima – Psycho-pass

    There鈥檚 no trope hotter than the white-haired, morally-grey character, which sums Shougo up completely. He鈥檚 always two steps ahead, and fear? What’s that, please? He kills people without a second thought and is such a sweet talker. You鈥檇 hear his voice in your head for days after watching Psycho-pass. But that’s a small price to pay to see him on screen, to be honest. That’s my sadistic, king, and I stand by him.
