I don't know much but I figured that we should organize a list and feature it as an article when we finish. I think it would be cool having a list with at least 90% of all the characters who meet this criteria. So I will begin (with my limited knowledge):

1) Adolf Hitler (Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa, Dragon Ball)
2) Queen Victoria (Black Butler)
3) Jack The Ripper (Black Butler)
4) Fred Abberline (Black Butler)
5) Whitebeard (One Piece)
6) Blackbeard (One Piece)
+ Several other famous pirates but I'm avoiding spoilers until I start watching One Piece so I won't research much
7) Brad Kidd (Bard Pitt: Yakitate!! Japan)
8) King Arthur (Entaku no Kishi Monogatari)

This is what I know and what I can share. I'm looking forward to your answers.
Note: This list we are making is for anime not manga

- Jack the Ripper from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
- Many of the characters from the Fate series

Also IIRC Blackbeard/Whitebeard from One Piece aren't supposed to be the actual pirates and are just named after them.


What's the difference?

Do you mean actual real people or characters, that are (loosely) based on real people?

In the first case, the list would be rather short.

Most of the main cast in Hyouge Mono are historical personages and not just the major warlords like Nobunaga and Hideyoshi.

Tamaya Seikichi in Oh! Edo Rocket is probably not a real person, but his family was one of the two premier fireworks makers in Edo. There is a representative of their rivals, the Kagiya clan, too. Some of the officials are historical figures as well.
