The ranking, boasting a 63.1% to 36.9% gender disparity in favor of females:
1. Karamatsu Matsuno (Osomatsu-san)
2. Keigo Atobe (Prince of Tennis)
3. Kazuhiko Hanawa (Chibi Maruko-chan)

No Dark Schneider? XD
Dark Schneider isn’t a narcissist because he can back up any boast he makes.
Shinji was a narcissist?
I just thought of him as a complete scumbag.
He did think of himself as better than everyone else, exploited others to reach his goals, instantly hated Rin when she rejected his offer to team up, became jealous of Shirou when Rin teamed up with him instead and constantly shifted the blame when things went wrong. Those are all examples of narcissistic traits from various reports I’ve read.
I’m not a psychologist, though, so I might be wrong on some of them…
How is Gilgamesh not on this list?
Hosaka is reasonably humble, just oblivious about his behavior.
The “narcissism” criteria seem a bit lost in translation, but it almost seems like what Miyano Mamoru has been typecast into:
Suou “Prince/Ooji” Tamaki (Ouran Host Club)
Yagami Light (Death Note)
Miura Kent(o)(Kimi ni Todoke)
Rintarou Okabe (Steins;Gate)
Ling Yao (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Did characters in Free! and Inazuma Eleven I imagine fit the pattern. Maybe Tokyo Ghoul. Maybe not his “Ichinose Tokiya” though.
His Masaomi Kida (Durarara) was probably outclassed by the “narcissism” of Izaya Orihara.
Studios seem to want him aloof, selfish, reckless, various traits that readily blend with narcissism.
not bad, itaimatsu at the top
