i found Kaoru Kaidoh from The Prince Of Tennis to be intresting

LT-YO, I know this isn't my section, but can you please add more to your post? Like explain why you find Kaoru to be interesting. Thank you.

Ok, on to the characters.

Ayame from Fruits Basket. The guy is so over the top and never fails to crack me up. Even when he is being super serious he always ends up doing something in the end that has me laughing my ass off.

Rin Kobayashi from Please Save my Earth. He is a seven year old kid with the memories of an adult from his past life. Unfortunantly, he was reborn 9 years after his lover in his previous life and his longing for her is heartbreaking.

Yoko from 12 Kingdoms. One of the best developed characters ever in an anime. She starts out as a spoiled crybaby who is sent to another world where she finds out that she is the new queen. Over the first arc she matures greatly until you can barely recognize her as she becomes a competent ruler. In the third arc she's quite the badass as she handles a rebellion in her Kingdom, one she is infact apart of.

Dilandau from Escaflowne. This guy is just psychotic. He's a pyromaniac and causes much trouble for the main characters. He has a bizaar relationship with his subordinates as he is often very abusive towards but later in the series it's obvious that he cares deeply for them. And he has one of the most WTF! plot twists ever in an anime.

Drat, somebody already mentioned Light and L...

Ryuk got my attention pretty quickly (Deathnote). Just thinking that all this death and chaos was caused just because a Shimigami (sp?) got bored. Now THAT's funny.

Heiei (er...don't know how tp spell his name lol) from Yu Yu Hakusho was pretty cool. He is always so dark and brooding, yet he makes funny remarks at the expense of his "friends".

Alucard from Hellsing was awesome. He's always looking for a good fight, and loves to "die" early on in a fight, in order to get his opponets' hopes up. Just as they celebrate, he gets back up and tells them how weak they really are. Then, he slaughters them. If he gets a real challenge, he goes crazy and gets really excited (Alucard vs. Luke Valentine showed that side of Alucard lol)

if any one knows laharl from disgaea he stood out alot cause he is not scared to speak his mind and laugh at the most devious things. every time he comes out you remember the distinct laugh that gets stuck in your head.

Chiaotzu from Dragonball Z is interesting...

But not in a good way. He's like a...mime or something. With his creepy little hat removed, he only has one hair stickin' outta his head.

Yup, that character gets me asking questions.

"What is it? A mime?"

"Why doesn't its appearance seem to change?"

"If it rubs its own face, will its make-up come off? Is that even make-up at all!?"

Scar defitnitly stood out, almost through the entire anime was always flashing back to him. he was the second main character. Toshiro stands out on bleach cause he was a prodigy and a kid. When your a kid fighting a adult tell me that isn't hard. His fighting style really made him look like he had a dragon inside. Unstoppable Relentless and Furious!

Ryo Narushima from Shamo, a completely deranged psychopath that killed his parents. Yet threw out the series he is able to justify every horrible deed he does. And you end up cheering for him when doing unspeakable atrocities to innocent people.

*howdy ho weve got a lot of anime lovers all around the world and im one of em! by the way this is a great thread, this will determine the favorites from the interesting characters, cause some stand out for their coolness, aura and simply because theyre the lead character of the story well enough chit chat heres my interesting pics

*Luffy from one piece! hes a very interesting character, kinda like those carefree mindless anime leads but possess super powers and become cool when theyre mad or get serious he stands out the most because hes wacky and act like a goof ball but hes the strongest one of em all!

*Kabuto from naruto, actually hes one of the fav characters of all anime, hes an intelligent deadly dude and hes neither good or evil, he only supports orochimarus ideals, means hes only fighting for what he believes in! that doesnt make him evil, it makes him human errr anime character

*Sunako of yamato nadeshiko well this is a new anime and shes a weird character at best. shes sure stands out and shes definately interesting with all the gothic and dark attributes she emmits but shes a beautiful person inside and thats what counts
