Did you know that most anime characters have canon birthdays? Not only does this mean that you can celebrate your favorite characters when their special day comes around, but it also means that you know what their astrological sign is. Some characters exhibit most, if not all of the traits associated with their sign, while others don't act anything like their sign at all.
With that in mind, let's turn our attention to anime characters who are Taurus. The second sign in the zodiac cycle is an earth sign that's represented by the bull. When most people think about bulls, they think about stubbornness, which is absolutely true of Taureans. On a positive note, they're trendsetters who value the finer things in life, and they're loyal, kind, and dedicated to their goals. Some less than flattering Taurus traits include selfishness, materialism, and laziness. They value stability and dislike chaos and change. With all of those traits, you probably won't be surprised to learn that Miaka Yuki of Fushigi Yugi is a Taurus, but Izaya from Durarara!! might seem like a hard sell.
Which Taurus anime characters are your favorites? Vote them up and let the people know what's on your mind.
Gon is a typical shonen protagonist, which means that he's not exactly a typical Taurus. He does possess the sign's deep sense of loyalty, and dedication to achieving goals.
Chuuya Nakahara is a member of the Port Mafia, and one of Dazai's greatest enemies. His hotheaded and aggressive tendencies aren't particularly Taurean, but his sense of loyalty toward his fellow mafia members is.
Luffy's love of pirating and adventure and willingness to take extreme risks put him at odds with the Taurus profile - but his perseverance in the face of danger is right on track.
Much like the bull that represents Taurus, Nao Tomori is supremely stubborn. It doesn't matter to her if someone wants to keep using their powers and put themselves at risk - she'll get them to act right whether they like it or not.
Izaya operates under a particularly anti-Taurus life philosophy. Rather than embracing stability, Izaya intentionally creates chaos in other people's lives for his own amusement.
This professional ice skater is a supportive, fun-loving guy whose lofty goal is to bring happiness and prestige to his home country, Thailand - but he always has time for his friends. He's a down-to-earth, loving guy who fits the Taurus profile well.
