15 ISFP Anime Characters That You Should Watching Update 03/2024

ISFP Anime Characters

In order to generate interesting characters, anime shows require the kind of calm contemplation that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® identifies as ISFP.

ISFPs are open-minded and eager to try new things, but they can become disillusioned if they try to anticipate the future too far in advance. Here are some of the best examples of ISFP characters in anime.

As a result of this, we’ve added five more characters to the original list, which now includes a total of ten examples of ISFP anime characters.

1. Sasuke Uchiha – Naruto Shippuden

Sasuke Uchiha - Naruto Shippuden

One of the most well-known ISFP characters is Naruto Shippuden’s Sasuke Uchiha, who has played both a hero and a villain. Despite the anime’s insistence that he is an introvert, some fans prefer to refer to him as an INTJ.

Sasuke is more likely to be an ISFP for the following reasons: His personality is quite emotional, and he prefers to go it alone than lead others. Despite this, he is a very closed-in person.

2. Tatsumi – Akame Ga Kill!

Tatsumi, the main character of Akame Ga Kill!, is a man who lives in the present moment and makes the most of the resources at his disposal. Though he has a close-knit circle of pals, he doesn’t always feel comfortable opening up about his ambitions and dreams to other people.

He’s been argued to be an extrovert, but it doesn’t appear that he’s ever shown any actual extroversion.

3. Ryoga Hibiki – Ranma ½

Ryoga Hibiki - Ranma ½

When it comes to Akane Tendo, Ryoga is a great example of an ISFP because of his intense shyness and the attributes that make him practical and in-the-moment to a comical fault.

It’s no secret that Ryoga has a terrible sense of direction. But rather than dwell on how long it takes him to travel from point A to point B, he does what any cartoon ISFP would do: he just tries to get somewhere.

4. Simon – Gurren Lagann

“Simon” from the show Gurren Lagann, like Tatsumi, is an ISFP in the same vein. Both are in their early twenties, learning about the world for the first time, and while they have a small circle of friends, they both experience anxiety when meeting or conversing with strangers.

In the second part of the series, Simon’s personality seems to evolve a little, but not enough to modify his Myers-Briggs type.

5. Ryuko Matoi – Kill La Kill

Ryuko Matoi - Kill La Kill

For Kill La Killprotagonist !’s Ryuko Matoi—a self-confident and competitive fighter who prioritizes getting the job done above all else—getting things done is a top priority.

In times of stress, she likes to rely on her instincts rather than waste time deliberating.

6. Inuyasha – Inuyasha

For all of Inuyasha’s roughness, his genuine concern for people belies his ISFP nature. He evolved these traits in order to defend himself from the world, which rejects him despite his half-demon heritage.

While Inuyasha doesn’t have a lot of plan in his encounters with other demons, he relies on his skills and powers to guide him to victory instead. Even with Kagome, Inuyasha, an ISFP, keeps his genuine feelings to himself.

7. Haruka Nanase – Free!

Anime series Freemain !’s character Haruka Nanase is an excellent illustration of an ISFJ in current media. As a result, he has an uneasy relationship with long-term planning and the future, and he may be a bit gloomy at times.

In spite of the fact that he doesn’t express his emotions as much as he should, he has feelings and enjoys certain of life’s experiences—especially those that involve water.

8. Eren Yeager – Attack On Titan

Eren Yeager - Attack On Titan

At first glance, Eren Yeager from the anime series Attack on Titan appears to be an ISFP, with all the stoicism that implies. However, his ISFP traits don’t end there; like other ISFPs, he prefers to act on his feelings without seeking the approval of others.

He has the ability to function as part of a team, but he doesn’t really want to “go beyond”—his purpose is to earn his position and complete his responsibilities.

9. Nana Osaki – Nana

In spite of her introversion and perceived intimidatingness, Nana, at least the one with short black hair and piercings, is a kind and thoughtful individual, as evidenced by the ease with which she bonds with the other Nana, or Hachiko, as she comes to be known.

For an ISFP, being a punk rock singer is a perfect match for their creativity, and their desire to go out on their own in Tokyo is an expression of their yearning for adventure and new experiences.

10. Genya Shinazugawa – Demon Slayer

Demon Slayer’s Genya, a hot-headed ISFP who refuses to listen to reason, embodies this well-known example of an ISFP.

Although he is self-sufficient and lives for himself, he has enough integrity to see the need for others when the time comes.

11. Yuji Itadori – Jujutsu Kaisen

Yuji Itadori – Jujutsu Kaisen

It’s no secret that Yuji is a highly competitive track and field athlete, but he’d rather spend his spare time in his school’s occult club than breaking world records so that he can see his ailing grandfather.

His grandfather’s final words to Yuji were: “I don’t want you to end up alone like me.” This indicates that Yuji is more introverted, which makes him an ISFP. As a result, Yuji is constantly ready to act, and he does it with his emotions rather than his mind.

12. Ojiro Mashirao – My Hero Academia

While Ojiro from the My Hero Academia anime series still has all of the essential features of an ISFP, he doesn’t really have any drawbacks to speak of. To ensure people feel heard, he’s quiet and introverted; keeping his sentiments to himself is not a method to dismiss them or push them away.

Even when he doesn’t appear to be paying attention, he is acutely aware of the environment around him.

13. Thorfinn Karlsefni – Vinland Saga

Thorfinn Karlsefni, the protagonist of the anime series Vinland Saga, is an ISFP because he has no other choice. To him, these are merely things he does because they’ve always been this way and he has no choice but to do so.

Because he hasn’t met somebody of the opposite type, he has no idea if he harbors feelings that are in line with theirs. This makes him the most likely of all ISFPs to switch types in the future.

14. Zuko – Avatar: The Last Airbender

Zuko – Avatar The Last Airbender

A sulky prince with a burning desire to reclaim his throne and a tendency to leap into action? An ISFP would fit the bill. To capture the Avatar, Zuko is first motivated by his desire to do the right thing.

Zuko’s good side takes time for him to accept, but he’s always been shown to regard the needs of others (such as the outburst that led to the Agni Kai against his father), which are hallmarks of an ISFP personality.

15. Asahi Azumane – Haikyuu!

HaikyuuAsahi !’s Azumane, a fierce striker who can overcome many opponents and often leads his side to victory, is one of the popular anime’s Asahi Azumane.

In spite of this, he doesn’t appear to enjoy accepting the credit for his achievements, because unlike many others, he doesn’t play volleyball for the social component, but rather for its on-the-fly adrenaline rush.
