Goku ranking high is most likely, because you'd inherit Saiya-jin blood Razz aka you can go Super xD?

No shock to see Minato up there. Even in death he never stopped protecting his son. Can't get much better than that Razz


You what?! Goku is one of the worst anime fathers in history, he's just terrible.

At least Kirito could be a good father in the future, I mean honestly...still I wouldn't pick him either. Huges from FMA seems like a good bet...realistically there aren't that many good fathers haha.


Well if there weren't a bunch of bad guys threatening to destroy the world all the time and things were peaceful I'd love to have Goku as a dad.

He's so chill and laid back. He'd be a lot of fun to be around. Plus as someone mentioned I'd love to have saiyan dna and be able to fly and junk Razz

Who wouldn't want Akio as a father? He's proof that cartoon dads can still be funny and entertaining without being stupid.

Goku is a TERRIBLE father. This culminates at the end of the Cell saga where he almost got his son, and everyone else for that matter, killed because he had no freaking clue ABOUT his son. He had no idea what Gohan was like, what his likes and dislikes and what his nature is. Yeah... father of the year. And then he gets himself killed and opts NOT to come back and be with his family. Goten grew up without a father for the first 5-6 years of his life. Hell, VEGENTA was a better father to his own son.


I think that in Goku's defense, he at least was able to spend more time with his sons than Minato did with Naruto. From that angle, Goku is likely a better father.

That's a good father right there.

Out of the top 5, I only know Goku, Kirito and Akio. Akio would be my pick of those 3.

A recent dad that I wouldn't mind having as my own would be Raku Ichijo's dad (did they ever say his name?).

Aside from Raku's dad, Goku and Akio...I don't think I've really seen many dads in anime or, at least, none that made an impression on me. And, I mean characters that are actually fathers, rather than someone like Kirito who just kind of takes care of a kid for awhile.

It's hard to make some picks myself, as I haven't noticed many anime dads in series I've watched. So I'm down to who may turn out to be a good dad.

Sadao Maou might make a decent dad? I mean, look at how responsible he is at his crappy job. Think he'd be pretty responsible with a kid.

Silver Spoon's Hachiken could make a good one.

No, no. GING is the worst father in anime history. Goku, even in his absence.

*Motivated Gohan to not be afraid
*Entrusted Piccolo (the biggest asshole in the beginning) to push him and set his mind straight
*Train his powers to the point of surpassing even HIM

Hell, he STILL displayed his fatherly antics with pan. shit was heart-warming.

OK, why would anyone want Kirito to be their dad? Also, how in the hell did he place over Akio?

Goku was an ok father {not a deadbeat dad, just a dead dad} until Goku actively choose to be dead {...again...} which just happened to be before Goten was born.

Who'd I most want as an anime dad? Nobuyuki from Tenchi Muyo. Consider it, won't you?
