And while anime does encompass a lot of different genres, astrology is rarely – if ever – the focus of anime series, which makes sense. Astrology is a Western concept and the Japanese have their own concepts which aren’t necessarily related to what Westerners group under astrology. Japanese anime characters have their birthdays but they aren’t generally associated with astrological signs, which is why we are going to do exactly that for you.
In this article, we are going to focus on characters born under the sign of Virgo. This list is going to contain a total of 20 Virgo characters, ordered by their general likeability. The list is going to contain characters from various different series, characters of different affiliations, genders, occupations, and whatnot, but with one common trait – their astrological sign.
When Are Virgo Born?
People born under the sign of Virgo are born between August 23 and September 22 according to the traditional Western calendar. Individuals born under this sign are typically analytical, kind, hardworking, and practical. According to astrologers, Virgos tend to worry often; they hate being the center of attention. They are also known for being modest, faithful, quiet, and very persuasive, as well as for having a good sense of reasoning and memory. Virgos are also known for their intellect and usually enjoy art, literature, writing, mathematics, and are skilled at completing detailed work.

L stacked objects, while N built “monuments” with dice. He also plays with toys all the time during his deductions, which sometimes allows him to illustrate his point.

Sociable, optimistic, intelligent, and sensitive (although often moody and irascible), he is blue and white; he is characterized by the golden bell that he always keeps around his neck and by the absence of ears, eaten by some mice. This event caused trauma in Doraemon towards these animals, as a result of which he became blue.

3. Ami Mizuno – Sailor Moon

2. Kakashi Hatake – Naruto
As a child, more precisely after his father’s suicide, Kakashi began to strictly follow the ninja precepts, in particular, the one according to which the success of the mission comes before the safety of teammates and the respect of all the rules: in that period he demonstrates arrogant and presumptuous, often treating with disdain those he does not consider up to his abilities, whether they are his peers or superiors.
From the alleged death of his friend Obito, which occurred during a mission, Kakashi changed, becoming more similar to the latter in some respects, especially considering more teamwork, which is why he subjects his students to the bell test. The new Kakashi shows a positive, cheerful, and sunny character, but despite this change, he always remains a rather solitary and reserved type.
Although his exploits have made him one of the best-known shinobi in the ninja world, he never seems to have those signs of arrogance that distinguished him in his youth, on the contrary proving extremely modest on many occasions. His calm and his composure help him a lot in battle, especially when it comes to terrible situations, such as in the fight with Zabuza.
Also, Kakashi claims that all the people he cares about have died. What we know of his private life is that he spends part of his time visiting the Fallen Leaf Village monument, where the names of his comrades Rin and Obito are engraved. Although at first glance he may be accused as a superficial or indifferent person (both for being a chronic latecomer and for the absorbed and disinterested attitude he sometimes takes in response to other people’s speeches), he has proved to be a responsible person on many occasions.
1. Kaworu Nagisa – Neon Genesis Evangelion

After a moment of intense questioning, between loyalty to his new (and only) friend and his mission as a pilot, Shinji is asked by Kaworu to eliminate him for the good of Man, while thanking him for having made him understand what is the heart and the human love. Shinji finally complies, denying all his beliefs and all his feelings, but he will keep a total resentment for his father who led him to make this decision.
