If you are a weeb who is interested in the 16 personality types and identified as ENFP, high chances are you will also be interested to know the most famous ENFP anime characters. What do they have in common?
ENFP stands for EXTROVERTED, INTUITION, FEELING, PERCEIVING. As the words indicate, a person of the ENFP type is not shy to express themselves and thus very charming. In most situations, they will favor their feelings and intuitions over logical thinking. Perception is a more important judgment for them, which might contribute greatly to their creative nature.
Besides their strengths, ENFP people have weaknesses. Driven by feelings and inspiration, they easily become emotional and distracted if they don’t have enough motivation. Furthermore, these people tend to find it hard to follow the rules.
Female ENFP Anime Characters
1. Lucy Heartfilia (Fairy Tail)
An ENFP Characters list cannot leave Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail forgotten. This blondie has a huge fanbase with her beautiful appearance and great intelligence.
In the series, she never has any difficulty with making friends, and we think even if we put her in real life, her bright personality and considerate attitude will get her pretty far.
Searching for new things and getting experiences are important to Lucy, or else boredom might get into her head. It boils down to a negative trait of ENFP where they exhaust themselves while trying to follow their passion. However, she can regain her energy as quickly and go on another journey.
She is confident as she has every reason to be, though the way she flaunts her assets might be a little vain at times.
2. Camie Utsushimi (My Hero Academia)
Coming from MHA, or My Hero Academia, Camie Utsushimi is a good example of this MBTI type with her signature friendly behavior.
She is a true social butterfly who enjoys having companions and helping them in every way, and she knows her interaction skills are more than good. The talent for dealing with people and talking to them makes Camie an exceptional investigator.
From a negative point of view, Camie might come off as someone flirty and loud, even her teachers refer to her as a bubbly girl. But if you get to know her better, you will see a golden heart behind showy attires and sometimes bratty attitude.
3. Rika Orimoto (Jujutsu Kaisen)
JJK fans might be surprised to know Rika Orimoto, the queen of curses, is an ENFP person. Nonetheless, if you really think about it, it makes sense. Let’s not forget how she was the one leading the conversation when Yuta was still all shy and awkward. In flashbacks, we can see Rika has always been a cheerful girl.
Even after she passed away and became a curse, the predominant traits of ENFP are still quite evident. Rika possesses incredible strength, though she acts on her instincts and feelings more often. All she cares about is protecting Yuta and everything he cherishes. Calculating is not one of her strong suits.

4. Kyūsaku Yumeno (Bungou Stray Dogs)
Unlike the other girls who appeared on the list, Q from Bungou Stray Dogs is more on the extreme side of the ENFP type. Her look is surely unique with a Cruella-inspired hairstyle and two differently shaped irises, and she clearly doesn’t care if someone finds her bizarre.
Q behaves like a good child if she wants to, though her wicked side can show itself in the blink of one’s eyes. Nonetheless, when you look past the cruelty, her actions are based on intuitions like most ENFP individuals.
After being abducted and suffering traumatic torments for an ability she never wanted, the emotional part of her becomes even more prominent, even if it is full of hatred.
Male ENFP Anime Characters
1. Touta Matsuda (Death Note)
In the famous series Death Note, no one is more ENFP than Touta Matsuda, the youngest member of NPA (aside from L and Light). He started as a rookie with little to no experience, but it doesn’t stop him from being very vocal and expressive about what he thinks.
He appreciates the efforts of other people and respects his teammates an awful lot, but there have been many times where he speaks and acts on his feelings instead of following the logic.
The negative personality trait of ENFP in him came out the most clearly when Light revealed his true colors and thus betrayed his faith. Matsuda didn’t hesitate to shoot Light, which undeniably saved Near from an obvious death.
2. Spirit Albarn (Soul Eater)
The duality is strong in Spirit Albarn from Soul Eater as he can either behave like the most serious adult or throw tantrums like a total kid – he adapts to the situation. With that said, one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover because beneath the silly facade lies a sharp mind.
In contradiction with the keen observation, however, Spirit Albarn likes to act spontaneously. This habit gets him in trouble more often than not and threatens his relationships.
Yet the true friends he made are reliable enough for him to entrust his safety with them. You tell me something more ENFP than that!
3. Reki Kyan (Sk8: The Infinity)
Born to stand out is an ENFP trademark, and you will see it in the charming Reki Ryan from Sk8 The Infinity. The boy is the definition of an open book, especially when he is around his friends or doing what he loves most: skateboarding.
The most obvious negative ENFP trait Reki Ryan shows is the quickly depleted energy and the melancholy coming along with it, resulting in him pushing everyone away. Fortunately, Reki Ryan has his well-deserved character development wherein he learns how to keep his emotions in check and avoid letting them affect his relationships badly.
4. Connie Springer (Attack On Titan)
In a dark anime like Attack on Titan, an ENFP person will become very noticeable, and we didn’t miss out on the typical ENFP traits in Connie Springer. Ever since the trainee era, Connie can express his thoughts and flaunt his abilities with ease and comfort, despite being rather distracted and goofy sometimes.
Connie is full of emotion and affection for his friends, which eventually takes a toll on him. Witnessing his teammates die in the hands of the titans and facing these monsters by himself makes him more aware of what he lacks.
Throughout the series AoT, the boy never ceases to be optimistic, though hatred and anger get to him eventually. Nevertheless, he is still ready to risk his life for a friend.
5. Shoyo Hinata (Haikyuu)
Haikyuu fans have discussed Hinata’s MBTI type many times, but we have solid foundations to believe he is one of the best ENFP characters. The extroverted side of him is always on display, hence it shouldn’t be confusing. The same goes for his radiancy and energy.
It’s not like Hinata can’t come up with ideas, but he has been told to trust his intuition, and this tactic works out for them in most cases, and he usually reacts before thinking about it. His sense of the surroundings is not the sharpest, yet he still relies on his instinct and sends the ball to desired spots anyways.
6. Josuke Higashikata (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure)
Compared to someone who has no recollection of his past, Josuke Higashikata from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is kind of quirky and emotion-driven. What else could make a better ENFP?
Josuke is kind of violent, but he knows who needs to be eliminated and often refrains himself from an unnecessary murder. As his feelings hold an essential part of him, he is very determined to find his family and learn more about himself.
Regardless of the difficulties he encounters on the way, his sense of humor in Josuke couldn’t be overlooked. It adds a nice vibe to the storyline and somehow brings him closer to audiences.
Final Words
When you watch a series, anime characters that are ENFP tend to catch your attention first with their hyperactive and charming natures. A lot of MBTI enthusiasts refer to them as the popular group, and they totally deserve the fame.
