Fans Pick the Anime Characters They'd Most Want As Dads
posted on by Bamboo Dong
A survey conducted on the Tokyo Otaku Mode Facebook page asked readers which anime characters they'd most like to have as their dads. Fortunately, no one was self-punishing enough to choose Evangelion's Gendo Ikari, but there were some other strange choices, including characters that were presumably re-imagined forward into time.
Here's the Top 5 Overall winners:
Rank | Name | Series | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Minato Namikaze | Naruto | ![]() |
|
2 | Son Goku | Dragon Ball series | ![]() |
|
3 | Kirito | Sword Art Online | ![]() |
|
4 | Isshin Kurosaki | Bleach | ![]() |
|
5 | Akio Furukawa | Clannad | ![]() |
Here's the rest of the overall results:

When the votes are tallied separately for male and female voters, the results are a little different. While both groups agreed that Minato Namikaze was their pick for best dad, amongst male viewers, Son Goku took second place, while Kirito took third place.
