He is usually like a normal young boy. However, for something his friends are involved in, he acts without thinking twice and has the strength to do so, which is cool. (7TY)

I like that he is manly, innocent and has a strong sense of justice. I like him because he iis very strong in fights and is willing to sacrifice himself to protect his friends. (co)

I love that Luffy as he is brave enough to go after his friends, no matter how strong the enemy is, he never flinches, never gives up, and always believes that he will win. Not only is he cool, but his uniqueness is also attractive. (Hitode21)

Luffy’s a strong, straightforward, and friendly character, and he made me cry many times. I can’t take my eyes off the future development of ONE PIECE, which is now a national character. (Minonon)

I choose him because he is mentally and physically strong, usually cheerful and fun, but in times of emergency, he is very dependable and takes very good care of his friends. (Hancho)

Reviews and comments

I chose Goku because I feel like he is a superstar in the anime world, not only because of his physical strength but also because of his personality. I liked Goku in his childhood as well as becoming an adult. (Aou)

Goku’s hair color turns to gold when he transforms, but it’s normally black, which is very cool. And above all, he is strong! (Yunyun)

When I thought about black hair, Goku was the first to come to my mind. Blonde hair and blue hair for Super Saiyans are good, but I like the standard black hair because it feels like the origin of the character. (Zekkyogahara)

Goku is the strongest of all the characters in the anime. The fact that all the Saiyans have black hair adds to their coolness. (Kumagon)

Goku is loved by his friends and has a generous heart, which allows him to become friends with his former enemies Piccolo and Vegeta, and he has the strength and ambition to continue working hard to become stronger and stronger. In the end, Goku is the strongest and coolest. (NOKKO)

Reviews and comments

When it comes to male characters with black hair, it’s definitely Levi. Even after watching the movie many times, he still looks so cool and his voice matches his image so well! (Ruo)

He’s strong and cool. Even though he grew up in the slums of the underground city, he is a fastidious person. I like the gap between his fastidiousness and the way he takes the bloodied hands of his friends and encourages them. (Megatanokyo)

I love him because he is overwhelmingly strong, likes to keep clean, looks rugged but is gentle at heart, is good at cleaning up, and is able to make precise criticisms. (Honohono3)

Captain Levi has a face that only looks good with black hair, and his black hair suits his character very well. If he had blonde hair, I think my impression would have been different. (Atan)

I love him because he has a beautiful face, even though he is small and has bad eyesight. He also has a bad mouth, but he loves his friends more than anyone else, and the passion he has inside him makes him so attractive. (Chii)

He looks cool and unfriendly at first glance, but he is as kind and companionable as the main character. He has a tearful side that makes him very human and cool. (Arisan)

He has the coolest looks. I would fall in love with such a fresh and handsome guy. His voice is cool, too! (Nana)

He is feared as the pitiless vice commander of Shinsengumi, but his way of putting mayonnaise on everything is very funny. He is also very cool when he sacrifices for the thief of Shinsengumi. (sleep)

I like his low and erotic voice, the way he puts mayonnaise on top of white rice, the serious look in his eyes when he fights, and the fact that he worries about those around him in his heart as the deputy chief of the Shinsengumi. (Rinrin)

Reviews and comments

He has a cool, seemingly seamless, cold image, but he is cool in that he cares about his friends, has the kindness to protect them, and is dependable. (Tama)

Giyu Tomioka seems cool and cold, but I find him attractive in that he is actually kind and considerate. He is not very good at socializing, but I find it cute and attractive that he tries so hard to get along with the other pillars. (MI1122)

He has black hair, which suits his personality and adds to his cool atmosphere. His clothes are chic and fit his image. (Ann)

On the surface, he seems cool and mysterious, but he has a gentle side that loves his juniors, and I like his cool fighting style. (Chococake)

Giyu Tomioka looks good with black hair. I think his character would be a little different if he had brown hair because he is the type of person who does not relate well to others and is not distracted by his surroundings. His fashion-conscious lifestyle is also very cool. (SAki)

He has a smart, masculine face with downcast eyes, a cool fighting spirit hidden inside him and is a good basketball player. I don’t think you can get that smart look without black hair. (Makomeme)

I like the contrast between the black-haired Rukawa and the red-haired Sakuragi. The passionate story woven by these two men, who are complete opposites in terms of their play and personalities, was my childhood dream. (miller0529)

I love that he has a really cool face and style, and a cool personality. The fact that his hair is black and silky suits him perfectly. (kokoro)

The fact that he has black hair adds to his cool and refreshing image and presence (BOX)

He is usually quiet and cool, but when it comes to playing basketball, his character changes and he plays with passion, which is really cool! (Miki)

Lelouch was cool because even though he had black hair, his character stood out as the main character among the many colorful characters. (8)

Lelouch is cool because his black hair stands out from the gap between his eye color. He is a wonderful character with black hair who also seems to accentuate the versatility of his abilities and visuals. (Fujio)

Reviews and comments

He has a great sense of basketball and hates to lose, despite being a delinquent. He is one of those people who are passionate about basketball, and the fact that he trusts Mr. Anzai more than anything else was really cool. (umi))

I like him not only because he is cool-looking after changing from long to short hair, but because I admire him because I think it is hard to start over from scratch without putting aside your pride. I also like his stoic attitude. (Pachori)

I like the fact that he left basketball after a setback but restart it because he couldn’t forget about it. And his regrets are very human and realistic. (jijiwakame)

He becomes cool in terms of his style of play and personality, which is a big turnaround from my initial impression of him, and I feel like I can watch him grow up. (Chiroru)

Reviews and comments

The character and his face match and he’s insanely cool! The black hair shows Kageyama’s character well. (tone21)

I like Haikyu!!. I especially love Kageyama because he is a genius, natural and hardworking. I am impressed by the way he works hard with Hinata, and he is smart, tall, and perfect. (Yosshi)

Tobio is a genius in volleyball but an idiot who can’t study at all, which is a gap that I find attractive. His absolute trust in Hinata is very cool. (ukky1221)

I like the fact that he is so straightforward when it comes to volleyball that he can’t look at anything else, the fact that he recognizes Hinata as his rival even though he is not honest, and the fact that he calls himself good-looking. (Ougonki)

I played volleyball from elementary school to high school and got really into Hikyuu!! I love Tobio, who is lonely but actually has a cute side. He’s adorable. (Chikuwabu)

His natural boorishness, which is hard to imagine from his neutral and handsome appearance, is also a major attraction.

Reviews and comments

I thought he would be a tight-assed character, but he’s actually natural and funny, which I like. He has humanness and is actually kind in the way he worries about Gintoki. (miz)

I love that even though he is diligent, what he does and what he says is comical. I also like the fact that he’s too bad about it, even though he’s a good-looking guy when he’s quiet. (Momo)

I am attracted to the way he is always making fun of the comical and amusing nature of the work itself, and the way he is always making fun of it, even though his tone of voice is very calm and unaffected. I also like his cool side in the battle scenes. (Hachi)

The gap between his long, straight, black hair and his neutral appearance and his comical characteristics is funny. I cannot imagine his comical side by his appearance. (Pompom)

He is a handsome guy with silky black hair that is perfect for cross-dressing, but the gap between seriousness and stupidity is funny. The fact that he is voiced by Akira Ishida is also good. (Sarasanki)

He’s smart and witty, cool, and more supportive of his friends than anyone else. He has a sad past, but it is the driving force behind his actions to this day, and his unwavering and reasonable personality is unbearable. (Waniko)

Not only does he look cool, but the voice actor matches the atmosphere of the character, which is so cool. I love the way the atmosphere changes when Chrollo appears. (ibunano)

He seems to be playing the villain for a good reason, and there is a lot of mystery to him. I like that. Also, he does not choose any means to achieve his goal and he is heartbroken only at the death of his friends, which is just like a real person. (Ponpoko-n)

I like him because he is mysterious and handsome, and he looks good with an inverted cross on his forehead and a long fur coat. (Kouyadofu)

After an epic battle with Goku, who has joined forces with Piccolo, he grows up after marrying his beloved Bulma, and this is what wins the hearts of fans.

Reviews and comments

At first, he was a diabolical character, but I liked the way he met Bulma and became a person who really loves his wife. The scene where he says to Trunks, “Bulma, I’m asking you to take care of Mom”, touches my heart no matter how many times I see it. (Jump)

I like the way he gradually develops human emotions and grows up, from the early days when he first appeared in the series, when he was on a rampage to conquer the earth and didn’t care about hurting people, to when he has a family and gives his own life to protect them. (Miya0605)

He is Goku’s rival and a prince. The scene where Vegeta cries because of his high pride is very impressive and cool. Above all, his attitude of becoming a Super Saiyan in order to catch up with Goku is worthy of respect. (Tarao)

He is proud of himself and seems to be difficult to approach, but he has a side where he cares for his child Trunks, and he puts in a lot of effort to catch up with Goku. (Beranikof)

He is popular for his strong beliefs and high ability, and for his cold-hearted but kind-hearted and compassionate nature.

Reviews and comments

He is good-looking, strong in battle, and has the type of personality that I like. Not only cool on the outside but also cool on the inside. (m10161025)

Aki, with his slightly long black hair, is precious from his appearance to his personality. The way he fights for his life is captivating! I’m on the edge of my seat wondering when his life will end. (Momo)

He has a cool image at first glance, but when he gets involved with Denji and Power, he turns into a sharp-tongued character and a protector, which is very interesting. The scene where he makes a contract with a fox demon and calls it out by making a fox face with his hands is cool. He is very friendly with his friends, and when one of them dies, he cries alone, which is very touching. (Kuronyan)

I like him simply because he has cool black hair. He usually wears his hair tied up, but I love him even more when he wears it down because he looks so sexy and cool. (Anko)
