Shoto Todoroki is an imposing character with “two hair colors” in the anime My Hero Academia. He has this hair color because his Quirk is called “Half-Cold Half-Hot”, which allows him to use it with two streams of power “fire on the left and ice on the right”. With hard training, Todoroki grew stronger daily, learned to use both powers corresponding to his hair color at the same time, and became the strongest student in the class.

| Background | Gaara is a shinobi of Sunagakure and the youngest of the Three Sand Siblings. He was made the jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku before he was born, causing the villagers of Suna to fear him as a monster. Raised in isolation, Gaara grew up hating the world and only looking out for himself. However, after being defeated by Naruto Uzumaki, he began to change his perspective and sought to protect his village and dispel the fears of the villagers. Gaara’s transformation and dedication led him to become the Fifth Kazekage. |
| Reformation and Legacy | Gaara’s journey from a feared and isolated individual to a respected and compassionate leader showcases his ability to change and reform. He believes in forgiveness, unity, and serving a purpose greater than oneself. Gaara’s leadership abilities, integrity, and dedication to his village have left a lasting impact on Sunagakure and the shinobi world as a whole. |
In the Naruto anime, Gaara is a ninja from the Hidden Sand village. First appeared in the film alongside brother Kankuro and sister Temari before the chūnin exams began. He is a shinobi and the son of the Fourth Kazekage. Gaara’s early inability to control the Tailed Beast, witnessing the ostracism of Sand villagers, and his late mother calling herself the village’s curse made him a ruthless person.
Gaara, the character from Naruto, stunningly portrays the red hairstyle. Not only does he pull off his hair color well, but he is also known for his unique sand abilities.

Iskandar is one of my favorite Fate/Zero characters. He is the Rider servant for Waver Velvet, but more importantly, he was formerly Alexander the Great. The King of Conquerors has both a sweet, honorable side that makes him a figure you can quickly love and a loud, heroic drive that bursts from him. He is a guy of enormous pride and a terrifying advisor to any of the other Holy Grail War servants.

Everyone considers him a formidable player because of his mental agility, manipulating skills, and twisted logic.

| Occupation | U.A. Student |
| Fighting Style | Close combat |
| Debut | Manga: Chapter 5, Anime: Episode 5 |
| Japanese Voice Actor | Toshiki Masuda |
| English Voice Actor | Justin Cook |
I had to choose Eijiro Kirishima over many other red-haired characters in the anime since he is one of the best boys. Red Riot, the Sturdy Hero, has developed significantly both as a classmate and in his quest to become a professional hero. One example of his skills is the fact that he is one of the few characters to befriend the formidable Bakugo. The audience witnessed him excel when they saw him fighting bad guys in the field with Fat Gum and Suneater.

| Background | Son of Zara Ideale, first peasant Magic Knight |
| Motivation | Seeking justice against corrupt Magic Knights |
| Relationships | Close bond with fellow Black Bulls members |
| Fighting Style | Strategic planning, close combat with anti-magic techniques |
Zora Ideale belongs to the Black Bull. He appears to be a ninja because of his leather mask, which covers only part of his face and leaves his mouth exposed. Zora is cynical and grumpy, and he treats everyone with a great deal of disdain, including his teammates and nobility. His unpredictable nature and love of jokes are his key traits, aside from his disdain for everyone. He creates magical traps with skill and uses ash-based magic.
11. Ginti – Death Parade

| Appearance | Tall man with red spiked hair tied in a small ponytail |
| Personality | Rough, rude, easily irritated, prone to violence |
| Room Setting | Ginti’s room on the 20th floor has a traditional Japanese setting |
| Judging Fate | Responsible for judging Mayu and Harada’s fate |
| Relationship | Constantly tries to pick fights with Decim |
| with Decim | Decim ignores Ginti’s attempts, no mutual hatred |
| Interaction | Hostile interactions with Mayu, releases anger on her |
| with Mayu | Allows Mayu to stay at Viginti, later sends her to the void |
| Creations | Creates a Kokeshi doll resembling Mayu |
Step back from the incredibly endearing characters and look at Ginti, one of the Death Parade arbiters. Overall, Ginti comes out as harsh and ruthless in many ways because of his position. To determine who merits reincarnation and who earns the vacuum after death, he functions as an arbitrator and is expected to be emotionless. But for someone who is meant to be emotionless, he undoubtedly experiences anger, boredom, and passion for both objects and his cat.

Kurama is originally a youkai; he belongs to the fox family and has quite outstanding powers in himself. During one time being pursued by the enemy, he was mortally wounded and had to send his soul into a fetus that had just formed the image of an ordinary human couple.

Benimaru was highly remarkable, devoted to his master and his buddies, and, in my opinion, possessed some of the best power. He appeared in the program as the chief of the Orgre Tribe, prepared to murder Rimuru and the others. However, after joining Rimuru and receiving a name, he changed and became a Kijin. This led to an increase in his authority and the power of his remaining tribe, who all followed his example and vowed allegiance to Rimuru.

I know he may not have red hair in its purest form – it blends toward red. Kamado Tanjiro deserves to be on the list, so please hear me out. It’s been reported a few times that his eyes and hair are slightly red. They are significant because his family works with fire, and they were shocked when they initially gave him his sword that the blade didn’t become red. Later in the narrative, as additional details are revealed, we learn that Tanjiro does indeed have a bond with fire.
