The best anime girls with short hair prove that women don't need long hair to exude femininity. For this list we're ranking the all time greatest short hair anime girls, with the help of your votes. From badass mech pilots like Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion to loveable fighters like DBZ's Videl, these anime girls with short haircuts are badass and cute at the same time. We want you to vote up your favorite short hair <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-anime-characters/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">female anime characters</a>, no matter what show they're from or how important they are in the series.If you don't see your favorite below, don't fret! You can add as many characters to the list as you want, just as long as they fit the criteria of being a girl anime character with a short haircut.&nbsp;

Since anime characters with tattoos are somewhat of a rarity, we've decided to let you vote for the very best ones. Can you name more than a handful of characters that have them? Don't worry if you can't; it's why we created this list of the coolest tatted anime characters. Some characters have tattoos that symbolize their bond with a certain group, such as Ace's Whitebeard tattoo in One Piece. Other characters sport a tribal tattoo that seems to only be for looks, like Renji from Bleach and Kamina from Gurren Lagan. Tattoos can serve as a reminder of the past, whether it's good or bad. Take Nami's tattoo that she recived from Arlong for example. Although he is a dark part of her past, the tatoo on her arm serves as a reminder of her years before joining the strawhat crew. &nbsp;Lots of people have adopted these anime tattoos into real ones. Remember when you thought you were the only one who had the idea to get the&nbsp;Ouroboros tattoo when you saw how cool they looked on the Homonculi? Tattoos from&nbsp;Fullmetal Alchemist are actually quite common, with people opting either for the Ouroboros symbol or a replica of Scar's arm.Anyways, check out the list below and vote for your <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">favorite anime characters</a> that have tattoos! If one is missing, add it to the list so others can vote for that character too. Any character is fair game for this list, as long as they have a tattoo. &nbsp;

If you think glasses don't make someone cool, then you definitely watch anime. Here are the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">greatest anime characters</a> that wear glasses, as voted on by fans like you. Glasses in anime can do different things for different characters. Whether it's a man or woman, they often make the character look sexier and more confident. It's not uncommon for villains for wear glasses, as it gives the character a more sinister look. Examples of this include Gengo Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion, Aizen from Bleach, and Kabuto from Naruto. When a powerful statement is being made by both heroes and villains, glasses in anime will sometimes shine a reflective light from them that is just downright terrifying. For <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-anime-characters/ranker-characters">female characters</a>, glasses always make them look really cute, giving them that innocent geek look that so many men love. Who is your top anime character with glasses? We want you to vote for your favorites below, but we also encourage you to add characters to the poll if you don't see them here already.

Scar

Here&#39;s our list of the coolest anime characters who&nbsp;have scars, as voted on by anime fans like you. You might have never realized it, but some of the toughest anime characters have scars. They are worn proudly by these warriors, who got them in sword fights, gun battles, explosions, and other crazy incidents. Which one of these characters has the most badass scar? Sometimes scars are small and subtle, but some of these characters have some pretty major ones. Take Zoro from One Piece for example, who has one not only on his eye, but a giant one on his stomach as well. Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist has one in the shape of big X on his face, as a result of Kimbley using his explosive aclhemy on his face. Anyway, we want you to vote for your favorite scarred anime character on this list. Don&#39;t just vote for the character, vote for how badass you think the scar is. For example, Yamcha from <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-dragon-ball-z-sucks/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Dragon Ball Z</a> isn&#39;t a very strong character, but his scar is pretty damn cool.

They might not have any hair, but we still love these bald anime characters all the same. Who is the best bald headed anime character of all time? It seems like a such a random way to rank characters, but there are actually a ton of good bald anime characters to choose from. Krillin, a fan favorite from Dragon Ball Z, is one of the most classic anime baldies on this list. However, with the explosion of One Punch Man in the last few years, Saitama is easily one of the most popular anime characters with no hair as of late. Will he reside at the #1 spot on this list? That's up to you to decide.Vote up your <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">favorite anime characters</a> who are bald, regardless of if they're good or bad, or even whether or not they're an important character. Please add more bald anime characters to the list if they're not already here.

Zetsu

Who is the greatest anime character with green hair? We want you to vote on the list below and let us know who your favorite green hair characters are from any anime series. Green is yet another of those hair colors that, when you see them in real life, you know it's artificial. Still, it's a color that makes a character easily distinguishable. Green usually stands for coolness and calm, and perhaps an affinity with nature. Perhaps that's why Sanji uses the name &quot;moss head&quot; as an insult from Zoro in the English dubbed version of One Piece.

Vote for your favorites among the most popular anime characters with green hair below, and add a character to the list if they're missing!&nbsp;

In the colorful <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-world-to-live-in/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">world of anime</a>, brown is a rather drab color. It may denote being ordinary and straight-laced. But given the chance, the character can explode in a flurry of colorful decisions and moves. After all, heroes are the types to have something hidden underneath, then they'll reveal it later. And since brown in the color of earth, perhaps it means they're well-grounded people.

There are an uncountable amount of black hair anime characters, so we need you to add as many as your favorites to this list as possible. In a medium where characters have pink, purple, and green hair, black hair can seem rather boring in comparison. However some of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best anime characters</a> have black hair, including Monkey D.

Who is the top anime character with white hair? Thanks to your votes on this list, we can finally answer that question. White hair, while associated with age in the real world, is a perfectly natural hair color in anime for characters of all age. White is often associated with purity, but there are some anime characters with white hair who are anything but pure (looking at you Whitebeard.) Some of them can be quite aloof, like Urd of Ah My Goddess, or as playful and kind as Mirajane of Fairy Tail. White hair is also associated with the spirit world, so you can find many white-haired supernatural characters in this list, like Inuyasha and Kurama the Fox. White hair anime characters are often intelligent as well, such as Near from Death Note or Captain Hitsugaya from Bleach. No matter who your favorite anime character with white hair is, give them an upvote below so they can move up higher on the list.

Unlike Edward Elrich, not all short anime characters get testy when you point out their lack of verticality. For this list we're ranking the greatest short anime characters of all time, with the help of your votes. Do you have a favorite anime character who is really short? Given that <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">famous anime characters</a> like Krillin, Himura Kenshin, and Edward Elric are particularly short, we're willing to bet the answer is yes.One of the funniest running gags in Fullmetal Alchemist is that Ed doesn't like being called short. There are multiple instances throughout the show where a character calls Edward short to his face, usually because they are shocked that Edward, and not his younger (but bigger) Alphonse, is the famed prodigy alchemist.If you think the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-13-episodes-or-less/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best short anime</a> character is represented on the list below, simply add them to the polls so that others can vote up that character too.

For this list we rank the best tall anime characters of all time, excluding gigantic monsters that are so big that they&#39;re off the charts. Do you have a favorite anime character who is tall? We&#39;ve included fan favorites like Edward Newgate from One Piece and Ryuk, but we want you to add as many tall anime characters as you can if they aren&#39;t already here on the list.

For this list we want to rank every blue-eyed anime character, with the help of your votes. Ever realized that Naruto has blue eyes? What about Grimmjow or Allen Walker?

This is anime!We know that we're definitely going to be missing a few of your favorite anime characters that have blue eyes, so please make some additions to the list to make it even more complete.

Yoshihiro Hattori was a Japanese exchange student living in Baton Rouge as part of the American Field Service program. On Halloween night 1992, Hattori and the young son of his host family went to a Halloween party for AFS students. Unfamiliar with the neighborhood where the party was, the boys rang the doorbell of the wrong house. 

When they got no answer, they started walking back to their car. The owner of the home, Rodney Peairs, then opened the door armed with a .44 Magnum revolver. Hattori turned around and said, &quot;We&#39;re here for the party.&quot; Claiming he feared for his life and that the exchange student was &quot;scary,&quot; Peairs shot Hattori, killing him.

Peairs and his wife then went back into their house and waited 40 minutes for the police, who questioned him and let him go. Only when both the governor of Louisiana and the Japanese consulate got involved was Peairs&nbsp;arrested, after which he was acquitted of manslaughter.

At the series' beginning, Sasuke's entire purpose for living is to avenge the destruction of his clan by killing his brother, causing him to become cold and uncaring towards human connection. As the series progresses, Sasuke becomes more empathetic towards his teammates, notably Naruto Uzumaki, whom he comes to consider a rival. Sasuke has appeared in several of the series' featured movies, as well as other media, including several video games and OVAs.
Sasuke was conceived as a rival and foil to the series' titular character, Naruto Uzumaki.
