Okay, so I was messing around with creating anime characters, and I got this idea to focus on ones with brown hair. I started by jotting down some famous brown-haired characters that popped into my head. It was fun, like a little trip down memory lane, thinking about all the shows I’ve watched.
Then, I wanted to make this more organized. So, I started grouping them, you know, like by what kind of show they were in or their personality type. I got some paper, made a few columns, and started sorting. It was pretty cool to see how many different types of characters you can find with just brown hair.
Next, I did some digging online. I wanted to see if I missed any big ones and maybe learn a bit more about the characters I already had. This was a bit of a rabbit hole, to be honest. Ended up reading a bunch of fan theories and stuff, which wasn’t really part of the plan but still fun. Found a few more characters to add to my list through this.
Sorting Them Out
After I felt like my list was pretty solid, I started thinking about the best way to sort them. I decided to go with popularity, as I found a few websites that ranked them.
- Holo The Wise Wolf (Spice And Wolf) – I started with Holo. Found out she’s actually a deity, which is pretty badass.
- Some other cool ones.
I ended up with a pretty neat list of the top 30 most popular brown hair anime characters. It was a cool little project, and I actually learned a lot about character design and how much a simple thing like hair color can be a big part of a character’s identity.
This whole thing, it was more than just making a list. It was about seeing how diverse these characters are, even with something as simple as having brown hair. Each one’s got their own story, their own world. It made me appreciate the creativity in anime even more.
I even started sketching some of them, just for kicks. It wasn’t about making perfect drawings, but more about capturing what I thought was cool or unique about each character. It was a nice way to cap off the whole experience. Made the whole thing feel more, I don’t know, personal, I guess.
This turned out to be a pretty fun little adventure. It’s cool how one small idea can lead to so much exploring and creating. Makes you wonder what other simple ideas could turn into big projects, you know?
