In November, we Americans will choose our new leaders. Turns out the Japanese have us beat to the punch.
Japanese anime fans, that is, who have been asked by pollmasters Charapedia, “who are the anime leaders you’d follow to the bitter end?” Who are anime’s most inspiring leaders? Let’s find out.
20. Bright Noa
Mobile Suit Gundam
19. Kotaro Bokuto
Haikyu!!
18. Mamoru Endo
Inazuma Eleven
17. Edward Newgate
One Piece
16. Tsubasa Ozora

14. Takami Chika

13. Kazuya Miyuki
Ace of Diamond
12. Toru Oikawa
Haikyu!!
11. Bossun/Yusuke Fujisaki
Sket Dance
10. Kunimitsu Tezuka
Prince of Tennis
9. Isao Kondo

4. Gintoki Sakata

3. Honoka Kosaka

2. Daichi Sawamura

1. Monkey D. Luffy
One Piece
Perhaps not surprising that the majority of the characters listed are from sports anime, a genre chock full of loyalty-inspiring, emotional locker room speech-giving leaders. Next up are shows concerning the world of professional music, which also requires strong leadership, and then there’s actual war. But One Piece’s Monkey D. Luffy takes the cake, proving even pirates can be loyal with an inspiring enough leader at the helm.
Who’re your top anime leaders?
