This survey of female anime fans, asking which anime character they would most like to wed, yielded some intriguing results.
The character you would most like to make your husband:
1. Hibari Kyoya (Hitman Reborn!)

2. Gintoki Sakata (Gintama)

3. Toushiro Hitsugaya (Bleach)

4. Rokudou Mukuro (Hitman Reborn!)

5. Sougo Okita (Gintama)

6. Masamune Date (Sengoku Basara)

7. Tsunayoshi Sawada (Hitman Reborn!)

8. Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach)

9. Sebastian Michaelis (Kuroshitsuji)

10. Toushiro Hijikata (Gintama)

See also the anime wife list.
The results, based on an online survey conducted at the end of May, are presented by Mainichi.
It seems Hitman and Gintama exert an uncommon dominance over the list…
No Fujitaka Kinomoto? Japaense women have no taste.
I'm surprised.. no Prince of Tennis characters!
But Hitman Reborn is just as good <3 Hibariiiiii, Tsunaaaa, Mukuroooo <3
no kurenai shinkuro?? he has chip zanuff's elbow blade! and he got a good job as dispute madiator
worst.. no CHAR ?!?!?!? hey girls.. char already pawn the world since 1979..
Kurenai is a little young at the moment. In a few years time, he might mature into someone quite wonderful...
... or a full blown lolicon, and who wants a lolicon husband...
those fangirls who voted for hitsugaya looks like want that lolicon husband..
I think you have a huge problem, an inability to discern male and female, lolicon and shotacon, etc... I cannot remember any instances in the anime/manga that indicates that Hitsugaya likes to prey on loli.
I'd have picked Sougo, too. ;)
WHAR IS GENDO. >:@
And so much Reborn, but no D.Gray-man? Those always seem to be competing.
Yeah, where is the father of the year?
I can understand the lack of D.Grayman. It's been slipping as of late...Although I'm surprised Allen isn't on that list.
Lenalee wasn't on the wife list
Hitsugaya...why am I not surprised?
Ah, Rokudou Mukuro.
The only man that stands between me and Chrome.
Pfft. Take both of them at the same time.
This proves that women anime "fans" do not watch good anime.
I suppose the female ranking reflects pure quality?
LOL.
WTF!! WHERES HAYATE-KUN!!! D:
WHERES KAIJI OR AKAGI?
almost whole list is just sadistic guys
i dont seem to understand
Oh man you nailed it.
On one hand I get the appeal of bad boys, but on the other hand this shit is still kinda disturbing.
It's kinda like a message to the male population of Japan.
Gintoki and Okita? Are you serious?
Women must have low standards these days.
no Lelouch ?
Not what I'd have expected. At all.
Awwww I was expecting some ouran host club boys
So women are all a bunch of ephebophiles D:
Hibari, Mukuro and Tsuna are shotas.
You could say that, However the art of Mukuro posted is of him as an adult, during the future arc. :O
They aren't shota at all. And they have future arc forms.
This article would have been improved by nude pics of the above men.
And drive away Sankaku Complex's primary audience?
Finding clothed pictures of them all was hard enough. Had I any decent yaoi pictures I would have included them.
I would kindly decline but thanks anyway, Artefact.
Clearly you just don't know where to look. One word for you: y-gallery. Also /y/.
The frequency of Gintama and Hitman Reborn in the results leads me to think the sample size was either not big enough, or they were careless by sampling determined groups.
Also, Hijikata and Okita?, wth is Gintama about?!
Watch and you shall be addicted O_O
lol YURI can't go wrong with that
The fact that I'm very similar to Tsuna somehow gives me hope for my future.
is it upside down?
Hibari :3
I am 100% sure that not one out of all 10 would actually make good husbands. No wonder the Japanese population is declining.
wait, how the hell did Ichigo get a better place than Sebastian!?
Interesting survey, indeed. I don't even know half of those male characters or what anime they came from.
hijikata-saaaan
I don't care that it's gay, I'd let Masamune fuck me anytime he wants.
Where is Kamina?!..... Damn you all to hell!
I'm not so sure about most of these. I wouldn't want to be romantically associated with many of these.
The only one I can truly agree with is Sebastian.
*swoons*
I love being a female Otaku.
I agree for Hibari, Gintoki, Masamune, Sebastian, Tsuna and Hijikata.
I can't agree with Okita because he's a god damn sadist though he IS nice at heart.
For Ichigo, I can't accept it because who would want a husbando who willingly abandons everything to save his nakama? For Hitsugaya... I can't see him as an adult thanks to his size (more to like I can't take him seriously)
Rokudo Mukuro = NO.
You never know what's he up to.
Maybe, but Mukuro would be a damn good fuck.
in the entire list, Sebastian is the most husband like
XFD @ everyone that's bitching about how the female audience voted. You make it seem like the waifu list is any better.
1. Hibari - He wants to fuck his beloved highschool more than he wants to fuck you, face it.
2. Gintoki - eh I'd like him as my cool uncle, but I wouldn't hit it. He's like 40, despite what his character design looks like.
3. Hitsugaya - shota.
4. Mukuro - fucking psycho. Wanting to bone this guy is on par with wanting to bone the Joker, ok.
5. Okita - crazy sadist bastard who would probably show his love by trying to kill you.
6. Masamune - ok I'd totally hit this. TBH Yukimura's more my type though, but this list is full of doms so Yukimura wouldn't fit in, SIGH
7. Tsuna - ok I take that back, here's an uber-uke. Unless we're talking burning will mode. Either way he so bland I just don't give a fuck.
8. Ichigo - the only decent man on this goddamn list.
9. Sebastian - hot, but he'd totally kill you without a second thought you crazy bitch.
This list is horrible and Japanese fangirls should feel horrible. You know who's my husbando? Dojima from Persona 4. Aww yeah I would tap that fine middle-aged widower ass straight into the Midnight Channel. And he's a decent guy with a good job and a fucking adorable daughter. I would make that man a fucking sandwich. Why are there not more men like that on this list.
10. Hijikata
this anon is gay...
Shit I forgot to mention Hijikata. OK he's kinda a dip but a set up from the rest of the guys on this list, at least.
You made my day. Thank you.
Clearly the guy who posted this comment is a man who wants us to like guys like this.
Why not Shinji Ikari? He's such a man.....
Hitsugaya? Holy crap. He's not ranked one of the most popular characters in the series for nothing. Maybe they like him precisely because he's a shota. Japan's into that kinda shit. Ichigo I can agree with, he'd make a good husband for sure. WTF is Gintama doing there? I read the manga and he's seems like a lazy potato. Not a good husband IMO. The rest i don't know. I should probably get around to watching Black Butler, damn....
P.S. Where's Lelouch?
LOOOOOOL hijikata XD !
YEah Gin is 2nd ^^
well it depends which hijikata ill gladly marry this one
where the fuck is sousuke sagara?!?!?!
Roy Mustang is my manga husband, and Watanuki is my manga waifu.
Wait a second...I was trying to remember who this was missing from my list...and then I remembered. Where's Light Yagami? :O
If you haven't noticed, the characters on this list are up there because of their personalities not their looks(OK, maybe except Sebastian). A guy with a God complex isn't exactly on the top of my list. Not to mention he treated Misa pretty terribly(infact, any girls, even his own sister). The only things that are going on for him is his look and intellect. Even L is a better husband than him. And that's saying a lot.
LOL are you on drugs? Most of the guys there are half for their looks. Hibari is a delinquent with a control complex and a serious love of violence (come on, his trademark saying is "I'm going to bite you to death"), Mukuro is a goddamn psycho killer, and the girl in the comic who DOES love him (Chrome) he pets into dependency and uses remorselessly. Gintoki is a middle-aged selfish lazyass who spends all day playing pachinko and reading manga, Okita is a sadistic jackass, Sebastian is a demon who has a little boy sign on a contract so he can EAT THE LITTLE BOY'S SOUL... the rest of the guys are not horrible if not grade-A material. Seriously, either women are incredibly shallow or incredibly fucked up. And this is speaking as a girl who would fuck most of these guys. Fuck, but not marry. There's a difference.
I wonder if people saw this; it was posted rather late. Some of the info might be useful for comprehending the rankings:
"I just checked out the actual article in Mainichi and some things worth noting (included in the article) to accompany the ranking.
-Hibari won second year in the running.
-6 of the characters in the ranking this year were in the ranking last year too.
-both male and female rankings were results from an online questionnaire.
-a lot of the female characters that ranked are characters from new popular series, whereas characters from long running series ranked highly on the male charts.
So I guess this answers some of the questions ^^. Too bad actual numbers surveyed wasn’t included."
Whatt!!! GIRLS seem to like shounen titles rather than shoujo eh~
Last FTW!! X3 lols sorry about this!!
Anyone notice that the top four look almost identical to each other?
What about Kakashi?! xD
Huh, none of these characters really appeal to me. Well, all the better for me. The smaller the fan base for my hubby, the less I have to compete for him. :D Ahh, Chrono~ <3
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll145/Yatzura/animejp/chronocrusade24.jpg
Oh mah gah, I love Chrono Crusade. Never thought I'd see is referred to on here.
Heh, yeah, I love the Chrono Crusade manga (the anime not so much). x3 Sadly, I don't usually run into people that have read it... D:
hmm y i wonder y isnt Kamina inside
I know, Kamina is so much cooler
*I is a girl*
what the hell happen to Hjikata Toushiro picture?
btw, getting Toushiro as husband, you need to be prepared to be a wife of an otaku.
getting Sakata Gintoki as husband also pretty much ruined your life. He's lazy and always lying down reading manga
What the heck, no Lelouch or Light? I'm shocked.
It is indeed wierd that I'm a female otaku and don't even know half of the male characters in the list here.But I know all the girls in the waifu list.
Yay for Mio and Hina-chan!!!!Oh,wrong place.^^||
No Kenshiro? No Jotaro? No Archer? No Shiki, at the very least?
Man, how many did you girls miss?!
so if these characters were picked by female otaku and anime fan-girls, then does it mean that most of these characters also top BL / yaoi doujinshi?
Yep. In Reborn fandom the most popular pairings are Hibari/Tsuna and Mukuro/Tsuna and sometimes Mukuro/Hibari, and Gintama fans love their Hijikata/Gintoki, and all of these guys feature in like all the most popular BL pairings.
I bet you half of the women polled would rather see the guys bang each other rather than marry them, fff
I never got the opportunity to try Hitman Reborn (and it looks like a mammoth task to watch it now), Bleach is meh (used to be so damn good) and Gintama's humor never got into me.
This list clearly shows what girls like right now, not the actually favourite 2D husbandos. I have husbandos that are from really old series and some that aren't handsome; I guess regardless of gender we're all fickle to what is current.
Where the fuck is Hosaka-senpai, all these people lack in looks >:I
Shit...the 10th one suprises me..
lol it's a genderswap dude. The original character's a man.
The worst top 10 ive seen yet
Im kinda suprised its not even one single character from a shoujo anime:s or is Kuroshitsuji shoujo?
I think it is.
Anyway female manga readers' habits have always been more diverse. Guys are always so open to certain genres.
Oops... typo. I meant aren't open to certain genres.
Kuroshitsuji is published in Monthly GF Fantasy, which is a shounen anthology. So it's shounen.
This list is proof that Fujoshi ignore how characters actually act and only pay attention to looks.
BULLSHIT. I've seen the most unlikely characters get so much freaky love from fujoshi just because of the interactions or personality they show within canon. Fujoshi care more about the feelings and anything potentially slashable in the story than the looks.
And men always go for the 2D girls with the best personalities (sarcasm). There are lots of whiny brats, complete bitches or are just in the background who get loved because they look hot and nothing else.
If you want to assume so much, hang out with some fujoshi before making assumptions.
psss... that is the thing, hell will freeze over before they get to hang out with any females, fujoshi or not.
Oh damn, you're right.
As if... if that were the case, you would see Alto, Light, the cast of Tytania, the cast of Vampire Knight, the cast of Kyou Kara, boys of Code Geass etc...
I kind of hate Reborn because of all those annoying babies but the guys in Gintama = awesome
Wisdom strikes again! If you keep making insightful comments I might have to build a shrine to worship you.
Except for Sebastian and Date(personal opinion), none of those on the list are exactly lookers.
You all are missing the point that Artefact is being mean T_T There are all these sexy pics for the anime wives and such boring pics for anime husband... What's with that? Where is all the fanservice? RAGE!
It was hard enough finding these. I doubt quality BL images for these characters would be possible.
At first when I saw that, I was all fired up: "Is that a challenge?" I remember seeing all these quality pics on /y/ so I thought it would be so easy to find with google... Alas, I was wrong.
Artefact isn't a faggot, shut up bitch.
I was acknowledging that it wasn't easy, so what is your beef?
It's not easy unless you really want to find the stuff (outside 4chan), but there's a shitload more of BL than Y.
And nobody needs to be a faggot to find pictures. You must feel so manly by insulting someone through anonymity, good for you.
