Top 10: Americans in Anime


With today being the Fourth of July and the fact it's the day America was born, let's look back at all the random Americans in Anime! All these Americans are usually sterotyped as blondes, althetic jocks, and badasses with attitudes or just carefree personalities. They're just so random it's completely funny as hell! .... PS ~ Don't Truely Take This Top 10 too, and I stress TOOOOOOOO Seriously!

10. Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Bandit Keith

The American Duel Monsters Championship, that's become well a lost soul and lost cause. Keith a liar, a cheat and plain out dirtbag. He's become a popular mainstream joke, greatly due to Little Kuriboh's Yu-Gi-Oh! the Abridged Series. Where on the Abridged Series he can't go without saying "In America" at the end of all his sentences or the fact in Kuriboh's world he's actually a Canadian. So when all comes down to this Keith makes it in at #10 because he's all about being "In America"!

9. Death Note's Ray Penber & Naomi Misora

Tied for #9 are the Death Note lovers, Ray Penber and Naomi Misora who died in their battle with Kira. These top ranked FBI Agents were the first sent on the case to discover Kira's identity and bring him to justice. Ray is killed when Kira/ Light confronts him to discover his identity to then lure out the other main FBI Agents in the Kira Case. Soon after his murder, Naomi comes seeking revenge by joining L's team only to also meet her death by the hands of the Death Note. Both of these characters make together on the list for the fact they were lovers and engaged; along with how they were plot points in discovering how truely Kira/Light's intelligence was at being a Shinigami!

8. Dinozaurs' Rick

Rick is a cowboy from the west, who lived with his grandfather and once watched over two fossils that turned out to be two of the three Cerazaur Brothers, before finding the lost brother. Throughout the series, he becomes close to the Cerazaur brothers, even being accepted as their "fourth brother." He mangaes to sneak into this Top 10 at #8 due to the fact Dinozaurs barely ever got to see the light of day, and when people do remember the show they most remember Rick's pals the Cerazaur Brothers. So as always having the power in corner proves to be an advantage.

7. Digimon Adventure 02 the Movie: Supreme Evolution!
The Golden Digimentals' Willis/ Wallace

Digimon's Movie exclusive character that actually had two Digimon, Terriermon and Kokomon. He was forced to battle Kokomon when was infected and digivolved into Wendigomon. Eventually he met up with the other DigiDestined where he lead them to where Wendigomon wants him to go, the family summer home in Colorado and realized he needed to be stopped. Willis or Wallace which ever you perfer made it at #7 just because he had the amazing Terriermon as his partner. Terriermon with his wonderful evolution into Gargomon, who came with giantic Gattling Arm Cannons.

6. Mobile Suit Gundam Wing's Duo Maxwell

Coming in at #6, the pilot of the Gundam Deathscythe from Gundam Wing.  Duo is cheerful, amicable and goofy, but this is mostly a front to cover up his tragic past. He's the sole survivor of the "Maxwell Church Massacre" and because of all the destruction in his past, he refers to himself as the "God of Death". Duo an amazing pilot and great character, who's able to deal the most damage to Heero Yuy within the first 5 epiosdes. Along with that like Heero and Wufei he also got another Gundam, the badass Gundam Deathscythe Hell so that means he's just as great as Heero!

5. Tiger & Bunny's Barnaby Brooks Jr.

Like Rick from Dinozaurs, the "Super Rookie" forced his way on to the listing at #5. Barnaby Brooks Jr., who is nicknamed "Bunny" because of his armor's earpieces and his penchant for long jumps and kicks, from the hit series Tiger & Bunny. Partnered with Wild Tiger, he has the same power, though Barnaby relies more on strategy than outright brute force. His successful partnership with Kotetsu would lead Barnaby to rank first in Hero TV's rankings, earning him the "King of Heroes" title in his debut season.

4. Street Fighter II V's Ken Masters

Ken Masters the emtremely rich son of the Master family and best friend to Ryu. He's skilled martial artist, who knows of the spiritual energy called Hadou. Like the video games he knows the Shoryuken and Hadou Shoryuken aka Hadou Shoryu. This "Street Fighter" makes it on this list at #4 due to the fact he doesn't do much in this series except find ways to get Ryo, Chun-Li and himself into trouble. The best thing he does in this entire series is hit on and get engaged to Chun-Li, only to later on battle for his life against Vega; who stalks Chun-Li upon then their visit to Barcelona!

3. Mobile Fighter G Gundam's Chibodee Crocket

At #3 the pilot of the Gundam Maxter, representative of Neo-America and the Shuffle Alliance's Queen of Spades. Chibodee grew up in New York City, lost his mother at a young age and was forced to fight for his life where he eventually became a great boxer when going the Neo-America Space Colony. He made the list at #3 for the fact he's a BOSS, a Boxing Champion who follows the American Dream and has a team of bitches at his side. His wonderful cheerleading hoes, Shirley, Janet, Bunny, and Cath, also double as his pit crew. He even says that they're the only "Protection" he needs. Hell he is Gundam's verison of Gary Oak!

2. BeyBlades' Max Tate/ Mizuhara

Half American and Half Japanese, Max of the Bladebreakers or in G-Revolution the All Starz was an upbeat carefree, fun loving kid. He grew up with his father in Japan selling Beyblades as his mother researched them in America. He's a top ranked blader, whose speciality is defense style with his amazing Bit Beast, Gamera .... uh, I mean Draciel. Anyways Max makes the list at #2 for the fact he's a kick ass kid that can beat you in a game of spinning tops, while being able to make better ones you can't even afford.

1. GaoGaiGar the King of Braves' Swan White

Finally at #1 the American GGG operator and Dr. Leo Shishio's assistant. Swan speaks several languages, has some skill in martial arts and dresses skanky when she's off the clock. She holds the "Key to Victory" which is her red pendant which unlocks GaoGaiGar's true potential. Swan White is No.1, for the fact she randomly speaks broken engrish, dresses skanky and her brother was the ideal choice for Mic Sounder's personality! What else is Swan supposed be, other than a sex symbol?!
