| I want to know what you all think are the best character designers for anime this includes mangaka who's works have been adapted into anime as well forme its gotta be Onda, Naoyuki he did character design works for Ergo Proxy Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Psycho-Pass (although he was an assistant) Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis All the Modern Berserk Films |
   |
| I think Jojos bizarre adventure creator Araki Hirohiko has really great character designs especially for fashion. Everything in the designs are relevant to the character itself, I actually watched a video on it. It’s stuff you’d see on a real model the poses too lol |

| Araki is a master when it comes to designing characters |

| In terms of cuteness, nobody beats Kentarou Yabuki-sensei. |
| Eiichero Oda of One Piece and Hirohiko Araki of Jojo. Kentaro Miura of Berserk is also excellent, given how limited his human designs can be. I don't know who did the Evangelion character designs, but they're great. What I've seen of Kōhei Horikosh of My Hero Academia is good too. Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball and Masashi Kishimoto of Naruto can be good too, but they're less consistent. |

| 1. Katou Hirotaka (Mahoutsukai no Yome, Guilty Crown) 2. Hashimoto Hideki 3. Nakajima Atsuko |
 |
| Easy, Takeda Hiromitsu, his characters are the best |
    ☁ |
| Haruhiko Mikimoto Ken'ichi Sonoda Katsura Masakazu Yoshitaka Amano Shigenori Soejima |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| rinshin and urushihara satoshi. can't think of anyone else |
    |
| Sakura Wars character designers Fujishima Kousuke and Matsubara Hidenori. Trails of Cold Steel artist Fumika Murakami. |
| Akihiko Yoshida is my absolute favourite. He did the character design for Maquia but he's mostly known for games like Final Fantasy Tactics and XII, Vagrant's Story and Nier Automata (although that's my least favourite work of his). I really wish he would work in more anime. |
| Tite Kubo has the coolest character designs. Bleach definetly has some issues, but the characters look absolutely amazing. |
| Tatsuki Fujimoto is the best for me, I like how he designs all the characters in Chainsaw Man, his art style is good too. |

fumio936 is just amazing at what he does... |
| For me, it's CLAMP. Their designs always pull me by my soul. I hate mecha, but I watched Code Geass just because of CLAMP's designs. |
| abe yoshitoshi‘s character designs are amazing in my eyes |

|
he also did texhnolyze right? he has a very idk biblical sort of style im not sure it invokes a lot of melancholy with his warm desaturated colors like brown or sad blues |
|
holy sH*T did he work on Redline? thats cool |
|
Snow_dropindo99 said: Tatsuki Fujimoto is the best for me, I like how he designs all the characters in Chainsaw Man, his art style is good too. he has very subtle and very realistic expressions I should say a lot of his manga has a lot of psychological elements to it with the main characters which helps that his expressions really have a lot of raw and real emotions |

It’s stuff you’d see on a real model the poses too lol yeah for one of his characters a villain named cioccolata he made his hair akin to the hat of a jester and his clothes had a cross on them the character is known for his demented personality and happy twisted nature at watching humans die and get tortured in various ways essentially he's a jester of death and his loves watching humans die because he feels superior to them when they die essentially a god complex |
|
Masakazu is a legend in detailed and cool character designs they all radiate cool energy don't believe me read Zetman Soejima has done a lotta great work for the persona franchise and his artstyle is very unique as well as the females he draws are all really sexy plus the mc's are always really good standout characters Minato was probably the best mc design with Yu and Joker tied although my bias towards persona 4 say's that plus I feel like Joker reminds me of every hentai protagonist ever |

Bleach definetly has some issues, but the characters look absolutely amazing. his artstyle is really good at using blacks in his art and every character has a personality plus I really like how he adds nice details on his characters I think Kurotsuchi is my favorite design in all of bleach so weird and cool |

True they have very appealing designs even if 80% the characters look anorexic I feel like you need bones to look anorexic. haha CLAMP characters don't have hints of bones, I think. Their characters don't exactly look human to me at all, but they feel so human and alive. Their emotions always feel much stronger than more realistic styles, and I think—in art— communicating emotions is more important than being realistic. |

My favorite is probably Nnoitra, but I feel that Kubo's characters in general just ooze coolness and elegance. Byakuya, Ulquiorra, Aizen, Starrk, etc. Of course Kenpachi has an iconic design. I recognized him immediately when he first appeared in the anime, because I saw him in so many pictures before even starting the show. Oda or Araki might be more creative and wacky with their designs, but when it comes to just cool looking characters, no one can beat Kubo. |
(You mean authors and their character's development?)
• Hajime Isayama - Shingeki no Kyojin (wow x2) • Masashi Kishimoto - Naruto (excluding female characters, he's shitty in this) • Yoshihiro Togashi - Hunter x Hunter (someone really need reason?) • Rihito Takarai - Ten Count (as for yaoi amazing characters) |
| It's gotta be Hirohiko Araki as number 1 for me. As for other character designers... Although none of his manga/games have officially been adapted into anime, there are various fanmade Touhou anime so ZUN counts, right? Admittedly, he's not the best at drawing, but the artists he found to illustrate the various Touhou manga really bring his designs to life. Plus I actually think his art has improved a lot. The portraits in all the games since Touhou 9 look just fine IMO Suzuhito Yasuda (the Durarara! and DanMachi character designer) is also the author/illustrator of Yozakura Quartet and all its characters look awesome. I'm prepared to swap out some images since some of them probably won't work... EDIT: They all worked first try. Lucky me |
My greatest contribution to this website:  |
| I love Misaki Kurehito's artstyle, working at both lewd illustrations and saekano LN. |

Akio Sugino, the congenial partner of director Osamu Dezaki. I love his thick-line style and his designs which look even older than they actually are (his main period is 70s-90s). Aiko's handwriting is visible in a lot of classic anime and hidden gems: Ie Naki Ko, Ashita no Joe, Ace wo Nerae!, Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, Golgo 13, Ginga Tetsudou 999, Jungle Taitei, Oniisama e..., Space Cobra, Versailles no Bara and many more.   |

| Hmm, the first person that comes to mind is Hirohiko Araki, I haven't watched or read Jojo but I've seen his character designs and I can say for sure that I love them |
| Daromeon. His characters have quite different feels and they all look amazing |

Space Cobra and Joe are some top tier designs they have this 1960's spy feel to the design considering space cobra is basically a space james bond pirate it makes sense |

| Clamp! They make such chic characters |
| desu desu binches |
| Kubo Tite from Bleach, his story writing might not be the best but his character design is definitely one of the best :) |
