This is a statement that is not only true for anime fans, but also for those who watch the genre in general. While there are certainly introverted characters in anime, this does not mean that they are all rare. In fact, many introverted characters are actually quite common.
Some rappers are main characters, others are supporting characters. They’re distinct individuals who propel stories and have personalities just as compelling as their more outgoing peers. ..
Introducing the introverted characters of anime! These are the characters who don’t always have much to say, but who always manage to make an impact. No chit-chat required.
20. Hinako Sakuragi
Studio Passione didn’t exist in my mind until I took note of Hinako Note, featuring a lovely girl who’s had it with being unable to socialize well.
Hinako moves to Tokyo to join the theatre club in her new school. However, she finds out that the club is on a break and can’t go back home. She has to find a way to make friends and participate in the club’s activities. ..
Despite her landlord’s objections, Chiaki Hagino sets up her own troupe of performers to help support herself and her family.
Hinako has always been interested in animals, but it’s been difficult to find people who will help her develop this interest. She’s decided she needs to start a animal-related organization so that others can learn from her and grow their own compassion for the creatures around them.
19. Sawako Kuronuma
Anime: Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You tells the story of a young woman who must choose between her love for her best friend and her duty to her country.
I can’t believe it’s been more than a decade since the critically acclaimed Kimi no Todoke premiered. The show has been praised for its unique and stylish visuals, and its clever storytelling.
This is a shoujo romance title that is still one of the best. The couple is amazing and their story is compelling.
Sawako Kuronuma is a high school student who is looking for friends, but she has a problem: she’s shy. ..
She has a striking resemblance to the iconic horror character from The Ring.
Sawako is a kind and diligent friend, but she’s not given the chance to show her softer side because of her initial appearance.
Shouta is a new addition to the team, and he brings a lot of energy and excitement. He’s always up for a good fight, and he’s always willing to help out his teammates.
Sawako slowly begins to make a name for herself in the social sphere, reminding everyone that sometimes introverts need just the right person to come into their world at the right time. ..
18. Ichimatsu Matsuno
Osomatsu-san is a popular anime series that follows the lives of four brothers who live together in a small house on the outskirts of Tokyo. The brothers are Osomatsu, Matsukawa, Todou, and Shinpachi. Osomatsu is the eldest and the most responsible of the brothers. He is always trying to make sure that his family is happy and that they have everything they need. ..
Osomatsu-san is a popular anime series that has been airing for over 10 years. The show has spawned many sequels and spin-offs, and there are always new episodes to watch.
The six identical siblings have captured the hearts of fans around the world with their three seasons of television. The show has been praised for its unique story line and its ability to capture the hearts of viewers.
Ichimatsu Matsuno is one of my favorite artists. ..
The fourth brother has always been viewed as this reclusive individual. Yet that’s because he had it rough when he was a teenager, trying to maintain this popular, outgoing image. ..
I’ve noticed that my brother is more comfortable around cats than people. Even though he tries to socialize more, he ends up tired. ..
Ichimatsu is an introvert who is too limited in his socializing energy.
17. Hinata Hyuga
Naruto fans have been waiting for years for the couple to get together and finally, in a shocking turn of events, they did. This event is what has inspired Boruto, the latest Naruto spin-off series. ..
Hinata is an introverted anime fan who has been popular in the past two decades. ..
The first thing that came to mind when I saw her was how gentle she seemed. ..
I’m not okay with her being that way if it was purely her decision, but that wasn’t the case.
Hinata had to deal with family issues that affected her self-esteem.
The good news is that she found solace and encouragement not only from Naruto but from her team, allowing her to still be this gentle, caring woman. But one who can assert her authority when necessary. ..
16. Yuno
Since its release in 2009, Hidamari Sketch has continued to be one of my favorite slice-of-life and seinen titles. The cast is stellar, and the story is engaging.
Yuno is a kind and relatable individual who is always willing to help out others.
introversion is about preferring to spend time quietly
Yuno moves on from her shy personality, but even more than that, I love that Hidamari Sketch explored the problem of growing up.
Yuno has a knack for art, but she’s unsure which career path to take. She’s been told that it’s important to have a passion for something, and she thinks that her art is that thing. However, she’s not sure if she can make a living from it.
Introverts can find it difficult to cope with the constant social interaction required for most jobs. ..
15. Shinichi Izumi
Anime: Parasyte -the maxim- The maxim of anime is to never give up.
Parasyte is a miracle that has kept scientists and patients in touch for more than 20 years.
The manga, “Toradora!” was first published in 1989 and ended in 1995. It was adapted by Madhouse in 2014, which is something that is nothing short of stunning.
The series is a gripping, dark tale of revenge and redemption. It’s full of action and suspense, and it’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.
Shinichi Izumi, a young man with a bright future, is suddenly thrust into the middle of a dark and dangerous world. He must find a way to survive and protect those he loves.
This high school student, like so many others, changed over the course of his or her education. From a glasses-wearing, awkward guy who was always nice to others to someone who could take on the world with ease. This student’s journey was unique in that it started with a change in personality and ended with a change in education.
Migi is a parasitic alien who enhanced his physical capabilities, but it’s hard to say that when you see the horrors (and philosophical conundrums) he has to go through with Migi.
14. Armin Arlert
The anime Attack on Titan is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed shows of all time. The story follows a group of people who are forced to live in a walled city after a giant creature known as a titan destroys most of the world. ..
The popular anime series “Shingeki no Kyojin” is already ending, and what a ride it has been. The story follows the fight between the Japan Defense Forces and an alien threat, and it has been one of the most popular anime series in recent years.
It’s easily my favorite shounen so far, and I’m not ashamed to have given each season a perfect score.
Armin Arlert is one of the most talented and successful athletes in the world. ..
Mikasa has always been a bit of an outsider, partly because she is physically weaker than most people and doesn’t have the same skills as her friends. Eren is the only one of his friends who truly understands him, and he relies on Eren for support in everything he does.
Armin is one of the best strategists in the entire series. I love it when people acknowledge both the strengths and weaknesses of others.
Armin has always had the potential to be of great help to his friends and humanity, but he required others to see his worth and push himself further.
13. Mio Akiyama
I’m a big fan of K-On! It’s one of the shows that introduced me to Kyoto Animation, and this is Naoko Yamada’s directorial debut. ..
Like any top-tier slice-of-life title, K-On has well-written characters that make the viewer feel like they know them. ..
Both Mio Akiyama and Azusa Nakano are shy individuals. ..
This doesn’t mean that she barely speaks. K-On understands that introverts are not always quiet.
Mio doesn’t like getting attention, so she picked up the bass instead.
If she’s in the club room with her few but beloved friends, she’ll be more likely to speak and express herself better. ..
I’m the frontman of Mio, and I think introverts can also benefit from listening to music. Sometimes, you need a way to let your thoughts and feelings out.
12. Anri Sonohara
I love Durarara and Anri Sonohara. The adaptation of Brain’s Base was amazing and I really enjoyed it.
Anri’s character design is simply perfect. She has a beautiful, gentle face that is always radiating warmth and kindness. Her eyes are always scanning the area around her with a look of curiosity and wonder, and her body is always moving with grace and speed. Her clothing is simple but stylish, and her accessories are always adding to her overall look. Anri’s character design is simply perfect, and I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying playing her.
She was a beautiful woman, with short black hair and well-endowed breasts. She had glasses and a school uniform that highlighted her feminine assets.
She has excellent facial expressions that help express her introverted nature. ..
Anri finds great friends who accept her for who she is, but she remains very shy. ..
She has had a difficult childhood, and she deserves all the personal space and social comfort she wants. Plus, I love the reveal of her secret identity. ..
11. Legoshi
Sawako Kuronuma, the protagonist of Sawako Kuronuma and Kimi ni Todoke, is faced with the dilemma of whether or not to make friends because her appearances make her seem tooocial.
He’s a wolf that feeds on meat.
In a setting where different anthropomorphic animals live and work together, it’s understandable why some steer from Legoshi.
Just as in the real world, he has his share of prejudice and discrimination.
Legoshi is not the kind of person who would do something like that. ..
This socially awkward wolf is different from the others in that he treats others with respect. He is empathetic and always tries to see things from others’ perspectives.
Legoshi is a fantastic character who is not a part of the problem, but must come to terms with his identity.
10. Kaoru Nishimi
Anime fans rejoice! The newest anime series to grace the small screen is Kids on the Slope. Set in a fictional town in Japan, the show follows the everyday lives of its inhabitants as they navigate their way through high school. Fans of anime will love this new show, as it is full of humor and heart. The characters are well-developed and the story line is engaging. If you’re looking for a new series to watch, give Kids on the Slope a try. ..
Kaoru Nishimi is an individual I can relate to because we share a common interest in art and creativity.
I’m not good at the piano. ..
I’ve been through the experience, and I can tell you that it’s not as great as you might think.
Kaoru’s introversion feels more realistic than merely manufactured for the plot. ..
Sentarou’s story tells of how his extended family behaves and how the lively Sentarou becomes his friend. This shows that the lives of introverts are significantly shaped by others. No matter how much they want to be by themselves most of the time.
9. Mitsuya Majime
The Great Passage is a journey through time that begins with the creation of the world and ends with the end of the world. The journey is long, but it is also important. The passage allows people to learn about themselves and the world around them.
The live movie adaptation of Fune wo Amu is definitely worth your time, as it is a much more interesting and engaging experience. The anime adaptation, on the other hand, can be a little more boring if you’re not into the manga series.
Mitsuya Majime, the MC of The Great Passage, is an introvert who perfectly embodies the world of The Great Passage, which is a quiet yet arduous process of making a new dictionary. ..
Mitsuya is passionate about books and language. ..
He loves to talk about them, and often finds himself in social settings where he can’t help but share his love for the creatures. He’s often awkward in social gatherings, and his chances of becoming a respected, dignified figure at work are significantly lower if he doesn’t have a strong relationship with the animals.
He comes out of his shell a bit, but he’s still a very interesting person.
Mitsuya is still largely reserved, but he has come to understand his responsibilities in life. ..
8. Chizuru Hishiro
Instead, the showrunners decided to go all in on the “happy ever after” trope and made us feel like we were watching a movie rather than a story.
Thankfully, Chizuru Hishiro’s memoir presented the hardships of transitioning from adolescence to adulthood with genuine heart. It would not have been possible without her.
While I’m more of an An Onoya fan, I also enjoy Chizuru because she has problems socializing with others.
Chizuru has difficulty smiling or conversing in a casual tone.
But then you get to know more about her and why she behaves the way she does: that her current demeanor is not her own choice, and that there are various factors to consider. ..
Chizuru needs help.
Despite her seeming independence, many women are still subject to male dominance in their everyday lives. ..
7. Shinji Ikari
Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most popular anime series ever made. It tells the story of a young man named Shinji Ikari who is forced to pilot a giant robot called Evangelion in order to save the world from an evil force known as Angels. ..
Others will think that Shinji is the perfect candidate for this list. They’ll argue that he’s the most introverted and shy person on the planet, and that he has the best potential for growth.
The president’s decision to fire Comey was a terrible move. The president made a terrible decision to fire Comey.
There is no exclusivity between depression and introversion.
Shinji is often in a state of complete confusion, despair, anger, loneliness, and self-loathing. This doesn’t mean he’s an introvert; in fact, he may be quite the opposite.
Many introverts find solace in listening to music, as it allows them to escape the world and their own thoughts. ..
People are the way they are for different reasons. Some people become the way they are because of their environment, others because of their genetics, and still others because of their experiences. ..
But sometimes, the causes are simply bad luck.
This documentary offers a unique look at Shinji’s life, from his earliest memories to the events that led to his role in Evangelion. It also explores the complex relationships he formed and the choices he made in order to become a part of Evangelion.
6. Shigeo Kageyama
Anime: A story of a young boy who is forced to deal with the consequences of his actions.
Both One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 have been incredibly successful seasons, with both series receiving critical acclaim. I hope that I can say the same for their follow-ups, as both are highly anticipated.
Shigeo Kageyama is a meek MC who has to keep his emotions in check because of his psychic abilities. He doesn’t always succeed, but that’s understandable given his situation. Everyone naturally experiences negative feelings anyway.
Shigeo is still compassionate even if life doesn’t treat him well sometimes.
I was happy when he became more comfortable with expressing his opinions. He had more control over his words and was able to communicate his thoughts more effectively.
I can understand how he felt when he went on stage to give his speech for the student president elections. ..
Shigeo, don’t worry about speaking in front of large groups. You’ll be fine. ..
5. Tanaka
Tanaka-kun is always listless. He never seems to be in a good mood, and he’s always dragging his feet. His classmates say that he’s always zoning out or not paying attention in class. Is there something wrong with Tanaka-kun? ..
This 12-episode masterpiece is the reason why I enjoyed Studio Silver Link and became a fan of Non Non Biyori shortly after.
Each episode of Tanaka makes me envious. ..
He has a reputation for being lazy, listless, and sleepy.
Plus, he has a reliable best friend, Oota, to help him carry around. ..
Tanaka’s school and neighborhood adventures are unremarkable.
Introverts are often misunderstood, but they make great friends and partners. They’re thoughtful and introspective, preferring to spend time alone or with close friends. ..
Despite his occasional slothfulness, he does seem to have taken notice of his bad habits and tries to be more sociable on occasion. ..
I know it’s impossible to live like him in reality. But that’s just more reason for Silver Link to announce a second season.
4. Hachiman Hikigaya
Anime: A young couple’s love story in the world of anime.
Some people love Hachiman, while others find the series to be unbearable. ..
I’ve seen people say that the MC is amazing, and that the two main girls are beautiful. But I’ve also seen people say that they’re terrible, and that they should be killed.
I really like Hachiman.
Hachiman is apathetic and cynical about youth and society in general. His teacher understandably didn’t take his pronouncements lightly, so Hachiman is ordered to become a member of the Volunteer Service Club. ..
Thanks to the anime having three excellent seasons, you get to see how Hachiman begins to confront his long-held beliefs.
I’ve been there before: feeling like I’m the only one who can do things, thinking I’m better than everyone else, and feeling like I deserve to be alone.
Hachiman begins to realize that people do matter and that being caring and loved is actually cool.
3. Tatsuhiro Satou
Welcome to the NHK, the Japanese public broadcaster. We are committed to providing quality programming for all viewers in Japan. Our programming includes news, current events, and entertainment.
Satou is an introvert who is often the life of the party. He loves to have fun and enjoys spending time alone, but he also has a deep-seated need for companionship. This can be difficult for others to understand, as Satou often seems like he doesn’t need anyone.
Tatsuhiro is an introverted person who is not interested in anything.
He had a panic attack in college. Since then, he’s lived a life of social exclusion.
In his apartment, living alone and escaping into video games.
Tatsuhiro is a cynical, self-loathing, selfish, traumatized, and painstakingly lonely person.
The protagonist is stuck in a situation where they cannot escape their own prison. They are aware of the situation, but they are not able to do anything about it.
In the end, help comes along eventually.
But despite the challenges, he persists. He’s determined to improve himself, no matter what.
You eventually see the progress, no matter how meager it is, compared to what others in your age bracket have already achieved.
I was so sad when I found out about the NHK’s decision to break my heart many times.
This has been a key part of my introspection and attempts at changing for the better as well. Tatsuhiro has been a great support.
2. Rei Kiriyama
The anime “March Comes In like a Lion” is set to air on Crunchyroll on March 7th. The story follows the adventures of Hana, a young girl who moves to the city to start anew, and Natsuki, a delinquent who is forced to join her in her new home. Together, they must learn to navigate the strange and unfamiliar world they now call home. ..
Sangatsu no Lion is a heartwarming story about a young lion who is forced to leave his family and go live with a group of other lions in order to survive. Despite being lonely, the lion finds comfort in his new friends and learns to trust again.
The second season of “Stranger Things” was even better than the first. I’m sure a third season is well-deserved. ..
Rei Kiriyama is a young shogi player who is socially inept but highly skilled. ..
This isn’t about sports. ..
March Comes In Like a Lion is an exploration of hurt, depression, trauma, and the long process of healing.
Rei’s story is one of the best in anime history. It realistically highlights social issues and the characters are all well-developed. ..
1. Houtarou Oreki
Oreki is an introverted anime fan who is often misunderstood. He is a shy person who doesn’t like to make friends easily, and he finds it difficult to express himself. Oreki is also a very intelligent person, and he often comes up with creative solutions to problems. ..
In this GIF, the person is at school and is lazily clapping while looking outside the window.
Kyoto Animation has created some of the most memorable and well-loved characters in anime history, with Oreki being one of the most prominent. His unique and engaging personality has helped make him one of the most popular MCs on the show.
Oreki is a high school student who wants nothing more than to preserve energy.
Introverts are often seen as apathetic and sleepy, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Introverts can be very intelligent and compassionate people if they choose to show it. ..
In Tanaka’s school life, he is just an average student. But when he joins Classic Literature Club, he finds himself in the world of mystery and intrigue. These mysteries keep him up at night, and he can’t help but be curious about them.
Oreki and Hyouka are one of the better slice-of-life shows out there. Hyouka can conserve his energy now, with the knowledge that he’s still my favorite introvert in anime.
