When people think of attractive anime characters, they think of beautiful women across various series. But anime men deserve a little love too. When it comes to beautiful men and anime characters that people would die for a chance with, Naruto has an endless list of possibilities. The story introduced hundreds of men of all shapes and sizes with a wide array of personality types and skillsets.
Fans across the globe have fallen in love with these characters and struggle to rank which one is the best. Though they all bring something unique to the table, there’s no doubt that some characters can prove just a little better than others.
10 Yamato Is The Safe Choice
Yamato was introduced in the series as Kakashi’s replacement to lead Team 7. Though he may not be as cool as Kakashi or as powerful. He may even be a bit boring. But sometimes boring is what people need. Yamato is reliable.
He’s the type of man who could build a house with his own two hands and make sure his partner is taken care of for the rest of their life. Yamato may not be exciting, but he puts the “husband” in husbando.
9 Asuma Had Major Dad Energy
Asuma Sarutobi was only in the Naruto spotlight for a brief moment, but during that time he quickly became a fan-favorite. Asuma struck a chord with viewers in a way few other anime characters have. He had the attractive aura of a man who has rehabilitated a dark past.
He was dangerous but comforting. Asuma was the first person in the series main cast to have a child and it’s clear why. He radiates perfect dad energy and fans are willing to fight off Kurenai to get their chance with him.
8 Sai Is A Fixer-Upper
Sai has a tragic and tortured past, a trait that many find attractive. Born to be an assassin and raised to kill his own brother, Sai is one of the more subtle examples of a character saved by Naruto’s charisma. Through his time with Team 7, Sai becomes more and more human, slowly learning to feel emotions the way his comrades do.
There’s something charming about his growth that leads people to just want to help him more. Likewise, his blunt straightforward honesty with other people can bring a level of security that is hard to find in a relationship.
7 Rock Lee Would Defend Your Honor
Rock Lee made a distinct impression from the moment fans met him. He entered the story determined to prove himself in a world of geniuses and made his crush on Sakura clear. Unlike Naruto’s crush on the same girl, Rock Lee’s chivalrous approach came across as less pathetic and more endearing.
Rock Lee is the type of guy no one in the story would date, but every fan wishes they could. No one in Naruto would fight to defend your honor the way Rock Lee would.
6 Obito Broke The World For His Love
Obito Uchiha is a villain. He was ready to enslave all of humanity and kill whoever stood in his way. Everyone loves a bad boy. Obito may have been a murderer, but the love for his childhood crush was at the core of his motivation.
Obito was dedicated to Rin, he would’ve broken the world to bring her back. Her death was the catalyst that made him who he was, and that level of commitment is magnetic.
5 Gaara Loves His Mom
When it comes to characters fans are obsessed with, very few are higher than Gaara. Gaara is the type of man people are convinced they could “fix”. Unlike real life where that’s almost never true, Gaara actually could be and was fixed by Naruto.
Gaara has one of the most distinct character arcs in the entire series, showcasing a level of growth people find absolutely lovely. Plus he’s a momma’s boy. Everyone wants to be cradled in the sand with a good momma’s boy.
4 Naruto’s Got The Charisma
Naruto is the show’s main character for a reason. People are attracted to those with strong personalities, and it takes a strong personality to be a protagonist.
Naruto may be crude at times, but he cares for his friends, will do anything to protect his home village, and has enough charm to convince the evilest villains to change their ways.
3 Shikamaru Is Someone You’d Never Forget
Shikamaru may be lazy and he may have slightly regressive views about a woman’s role in domestic life, but fans think he’s still hot. Audiences love a brooding, aloof dude with a dark aesthetic.
Shikamaru’s shadow aesthetic, relaxed mindset, and desire to do just about anything other than hard work makes him a classic darudere archetype. Shikamaru is the type of guy people break up with in high school but think about for the rest of their life and wonder if they ever applied themselves later in life.
2 Kakashi Is Mysterious and Powerful
Kakashi Hatake is everything a person would want in a partner. He’s got the power to protect his loved ones when they want to feel safe, and he’s committed to his friends – ready to die for them. He’s also mysterious, and his partner would probably still be learning new things decades into the relationship.
Overall, Kakashi Hatake is extremely alluring. Fans have adored this character since his first appearance and that attraction has only deepened with each passing moment of screen time. Somehow he’s done all of this with only showing his real face once.
1 Minato Is The Perfect Man In Every Way
Minato Namikaze was a late addition to the Naruto series, appearing later on in Naruto Shippuden. But since learning his backstory with Kushina, fans have been utterly obsessed with this character. Minato is everything everyone else is on this list but better. He’s got looks, power, chivalry, and perfect dad energy.
The greatest thing the story ever did was give fans more Minato in the war arc by temporarily reviving him. All viewers were blessed with his presence and fell in love with him even more.
