Random Honorable Anime Characters (15 items)

• 

  (#9) Kimimaro

  • Naruto

  There are a lot of honorable characters in Naruto, but because he's also a villain, Kimimaro is an usual case. Kimimaro is one of Orochimaru's most loyal henchmen. He believes that the sole purpose of his formidable powers is to help other people, not to serve his own needs. While he does dedicate himself to Orochimaru, it's because he comes to the mistaken conclusion that this is the morally correct thing to do. 

  When it comes to his opponents, however, he fights with the utmost honor. For example, when he takes on Rock Lee, he actually stops the battle long enough for Rock Lee to take a dose of what Lee believes is 'medicine' - proving that he doesn't want to have any unfair advantages over his opponent.

  (#15) Yuugo Hachiken - 'Silver Spoon'

  Most honorable anime characters appear in shonen anime or other action-oriented genres - understandable, since those characters often face situations that test their honor in dramatic ways. But characters can display honor in more subtle ways, too.

  Yuugo Hachiken is an agricultural student who takes his work seriously. When tasked with making bacon, he decides that it isn't enough to simply handle the meat - he has to take on every part of the process, from raising the pig onwards. When he finds out that some of his classmates' families are facing financial ruin, he takes it upon himself to try and solve their problems. He considers this to be his personal responsability, and won't accept less than living up to his own ideals.

  (#8) Mob Kageyama - 'Mob Psycho 100'

  In contrast to his mentor Reigen, Mob Kageyama doesn't have a conniving bone in his body. Instead, he's a deeply honorable and kind young boy who is loyal to his friends, straightforward, and fair with his enemies. He never hurts anyone who he believes to be innocent, and he takes a light, forgiving hand with those who do wrong.

  Because he's twelve years old and inexperienced both in battle and in his feelings, he's occasionally pushed past his emotional capacity and loses control of his powers but his heart is firmly in the right place.

  (#3) Kazuma Kuwabara

  • Yu Yu Hakusho

  Kazuma Kuwabara lives by a strict code of honor - wanting to fight every man who comes at him with his full vigor, refusing to fight women under any circumstances, and staying loyal to his friends. This sometimes leads to taking on opponents who are more powerful than he is when he's gravely injured, or letting female opponents beat the snot out of him because he refuses to hit a lady, but he still won't back down from his principles even when others advise him to do so.
• 

  (#7) Senku - 'Dr. Stone'

  Senku might not immediately seem like an honorable person - after all, he loves nothing more than tricking people through scientific means. But underneath all the joking, he's a person who truly stands by his principles. Rather than lie to Tsukasa and promise to give up science - or actually give it up - he opts to let Tsukasa end his life.

  Later in the series, he's willing to risk his own safety because he thinks that leaving Chrome behind is the best chance the world has for scientific advancement. He claims to be selfish and devious, but his allegiance is with his core beliefs, and he'll sacrifice pretty much anything for them.

  (#11) Jonathan Joestar

  • JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

  Above all, Jonathan Joestar values behaving like a gentleman. This means dressing smartly, but it also means approaching his opponants as equals deserving of his respect. No matter how dangerous his enemies, he will take them on directly, forgoing any stategies that might improve his outcome but would seem sneaky or underhanded. His personality stands in stark contrast to his adopted brother Dio, one of the major antagonists of the series.
