33+ Best Blonde and Yellow Hair Anime Characters!

Updated October 26, 2022 by Ernie

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but some main characters tend to have blonde or yellow hair. It’s distinctive as it creates a separation from other characters. However, more female characters are usually made to be blonde than male characters. Either way, we can’t deny how loveable and amazing some blondies can be! You’ll probably recognize a few favorites on the list so don’t hesitate to comment down below and gush about why exactly they are the best. So, let’s get right into it! 

 

BEST BLONDIES THAT TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT

 

34. Yu “Mt. Lady” Takeyama (My Hero Academia)

INFORMATION
Title	My Hero Academia
Genre	Action
Type	TV
Studio	Bones
Premiered	Spring 2016
Episode Count	13
Duration	24 min. per ep.

You gotta give Mt. Lady some love with the recent events that happened in the manga. Yu is the youngest female pro hero that was introduced to us and ever since then, she’s been leaving marks of her success since then. She has blonde hair and purple eyes that just reels us in—or it could just be her seducing us. Her quirk is gigantification which makes her grow from being the average 5’4 to over 67 feet. What’s interesting too is that she can’t seem to change into other sizes, it’s just two sizes and nothing in between. Though she isn’t one of the main characters in the series, her role in the series helps set the tone for what is going to happen to most of the heroes. 

 

33. Sanji (One Piece)

INFORMATION
Title	One Piece
Genre	Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Type	TV
Studio	Toei Animation
Premiered	Fall 1999
Episode Count	Ongoing
Duration	24 min.

This blonde cook is a member of the Straw Hat Pirates—but you already knew that didn’t cha? Like the rest of the pirate gang, Sanji holds a bounty on his head since his participation in the Enies Lobby Arc. For those of you who haven’t watched One Piece, I’ll just spoil you this bit, Sanji is part of the top three fights in the Straw Hats crew. And though he may be capable of fighting, nothing beats his dream to find the elusive chef’s paradise. 

 

32. Historia Reiss (Attack on Titan)

INFORMATION
Title	Attack on Titan
Genre	Action, Drama
Type	TV
Studio	Wit Studio
Premiered	Spring 2013
Episode Count	25
Duration	24 min. per ep.

We’ve known this woman as Krista ever since we were introduced to Attack on Titan. She graduated with flying colors from the 104th Training Corps with the help of Ymir. She is of petite build and would probably be the first few to die in the Survey Corps at first glance. But, she stands proud in the traditional Survey Corps uniform. But her life as Krista comes to an end when her claim to the throne is restored. With help from her comrades, she resumes her true name, Historia Reiss, and is crowned the true queen of the walls. 

 

31. Laxus Dreyar (Fairy Tail)

INFORMATION
Title	Fairy Tail
Genre	Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Type	TV
Studio	Satelight, A-1 Pictures
Premiered	Fall 2009
Episode Count	175
Duration	24 min. per ep.

I hated this man’s guts during the initial episodes of the anime but soon adored him altogether. Fairy Tail has a lot of characters like this and Laxus is a great example of a well-thought character. Laxus is an S-Class Mage that has an affinity for lightning magic he also has dragon lacrima embedded on his body. And to prove that he indeed possesses Dragon Slayer magic, he gets motion sickness like Natsu and the rest of the Dragon Slayers. The blondie may not be one of those main characters but is prominent enough to gain fans of his own (of which I am included <3). 

 

30. Meliodas (The Seven Deadly Sins)

INFORMATION
Title	The Seven Deadly Sins
Genre	Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Type	TV
Studio	A-1 Pictures
Premiered	Fall 2014
Episode Count	24
Duration	24 min. per ep.

As the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, naturally, he’d have a distinctive quality. Meliodas is the Dragon’s Sin of Wrath—which fits his nature since he is actually a demon. Despite sporting the title, he tries to exude a calm nature when he’s around people. Just try not to harm his friends or you’ll truly experience his true rage. You may come out unscathed though as Melodias is also merciful.

Though initially she needed to rely on and resonate with Soul to achieve her peak abilities, she, later on, relied less on him and instead trusted their bond and trusted herself.

Title	Fairy Tail
Genre	Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Type	TV
Studio	Satelight, A-1 Pictures
Premiered	Fall 2009
Episode Count	175
Duration	24 min. per ep.

This blonde fellow used to really get my gears going since Sabertooth was introduced, if you haven’t met him yet then you’ll understand why when you get acquainted. But, like all other Fairy Tail characters, redemption arcs follow through for some characters. Sting is a Dragon Slayer who claims that he killed his dragon and acquired their power. He is extremely confident in his capabilities and regards himself as one of the strongest mages in his guild. He respects those who are strong and powerful and doesn’t often mock those who are weaker–he just sees them as useless. Oh and yep, he also gets motion sickness as all Dragon Slayer mages do.

Genre	Action
Type	TV
Studio	Bones
Premiered	Spring 2016
Episode Count	13
Duration	24 min. per ep.

Our favorite hero, All Might is undoubtedly the blonde MC stereotype. With him being heavily inspired by western heroes, naturally, he has blonde hair and blue eyes look. He is the reason why Deku was able to get a quirk, and because of that we now hold him dear in our hearts. He is the very symbol of hope that makes him the epitome of heroism, he does not do it for fame or glory but for everyone’s safety. We love you, All Might!

Duration	23 min. per ep.

Temari is ⅓ of the Three Sand Siblings and is a highly skilled ninja of Sunagakure. In her younger years, we see her as stoic and obedient as she strictly follows her orders. She has shown to be cold and dismissive of the enemies that her brother, Gaara, kills. But that doesn’t mean she can’t feel for those around her. Temari cares deeply for her brothers and would dream of having them rely on her. As the years go by (well, if you followed the story until Boruto) things turn out for the better and Temari continues to live better days. 

 

23. Denki Kaminari (My Hero Academia)

INFORMATION
Title	My Hero Academia
Genre	Action
Type	TV
Studio	Bones
Premiered	Spring 2016
Episode Count	13
Duration	24 min. per ep.

Denki is social and very friendly as he enjoys his friends’ company. He treats everyone equally and acts around them casually. But despite being laid-back he can also be petty with his complaining and overreacts quite often. He is the type of person that tends to put others first before himself and makes sure that they’re hyped up. I find his quirk cool but also funny as it has a negative impact on him when used too much.

Ah, Howl is one hot blondie (well for the first couple of minutes) his shoulder-length hair just flows effortlessly against the wind. Though he is indeed gifted with the art of magic and spells and excelled in his studies during his time as a student. In the movie, it was set during a war thus allowing the plot of the story to be as it is (because the novel is different). Later, we find that Sophie graces his home and does all the cleaning. The cleaning, however, caused a mishap in Howl’s potions that ended in him having orange hair. Ah, the great Howl meltdown was funny and… narcissistic since he valued his looks. Well, in the end, he’s still quite handsome and adorable as ever!

The way Luvia is illustrated, we would assume that she’s haughty and quite spoiled. Since she is an aristocrat, she would exude an aura of snobbishness and narcissism. But that is not the case for Luvia as she is an empathic character. She understands the importance of money and does not enjoy the idea of overspending. She has great respect for commoners and is shown to love them. She shows tendencies toward perfection and can be competitive when she’s around Rin Tohsaka.

We all know what Naruto is like with his vibrant personality. He’s made it his life’s mission to make sure that everyone knows who he is. His boisterous personality can be seen all throughout his life, from when he started as a young boy until his teenage years. Naruto is an example of someone who’s never given up on his dreams and his friends, though he may never have gotten that support in his early years he still strives to make an honest living. Well, as honest as it can be… Undeniably, Naruto is the best blonde character because of his epicness. In Boruto, he may no longer be the main focus.  I’m just excited that we get to see him act like his dad sometimes.
