There is no one definitive definition of the ENFP personality type, but according to The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), individuals who fall under this category are characterized by their natural creativity and intuitive ability. They are also often described as warm, compassionate, and imaginative, which makes them great allies and friends.
ENFPs are often perceived as the “happy hippies” of the personality type world. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
ENFPs are highly independent, creative and spontaneous individuals who enjoy spending their time in solitude or with close friends and family. ENFPs are excellent problem-solvers and thrive in environments that challenge them. They are understanding, intuitive and have a great sense of humor.
Here are 12 anime characters who can definitely be classified as ENFPs!

Uraraka Ochako
An enthusiastic and charismatic character whose Quirk, Zero Gravity enables her to make anything weightless by touching it with pads on her fingertips.
Overusing her Quirk can result in her experiencing severe nausea (just like an ENFP who is very social, but needs some quiet after a while).
Her ENFP quote:
“So I’m going to be a hero. I’ll make that money… So that my mom and dad can have easier lives!”
Chika Fujiwara
Chika is a popular anime character and is known for her bright pink hair, which she sometimes wears in a ponytail. Chika has been a fixture of the Japanese pop culture scene since she first appeared on television in 2013. She’s a third-year high school student at Shuchi’in Academy, a member of the Tabletop Gaming Club and the current secretary of the high school Student Council.
I think Chika is an ENFP because she’s always the one who generates a fun, exciting atmosphere for the student council and people around her in general (with her random games suggestions). However, she may be more of an ESFP. People do
Her ENFP quote:
“I’ve never lacked confidence about that!”
KIKI – Kiki’s Delivery Service
Kiki, a bright and bubbly ENFP, is a delivery girl for the local mail service. She loves her job and enjoys interacting with the people she delivers to. Her natural cheerfulness is infectious and her customers love getting their packages from her.
Kiki’s enthusiasm for life makes her an enjoyable person to be around, and she always has something fun or interesting to share when she meets someone new.
Her ENFP quote:
“We can fly with our spirit”
Hikaru Shindo
Hikaru Shindo is an ENFP who has been playing go since he was 4. He has a degree in psychology from Tokyo University and now works as a therapist. When he isn’t practicing or teaching go, he enjoys reading, cooking, and spending time with his wife and two young daughters.
ENFPs make great therapists because they are highly adaptable and intuitive. They are also very passionate about helping others find solutions to their problems. Shindo’s natural charisma and love of helping others have made him a successful go player and therapist.
His ENFP quote:
“Let me try the hardest one so I can get the ‘Tsumego’ book.”
Nikaido from Dorohedoro
Dorohedoro is the story about Kaiman, an amnesic man disfigured by Magic who tries to recover both his original face and memories about his past. His journey takes him all around the world, and he meets many different people along the way. This Manga is a must-read for fans of adventure stories!
Nikaido is Kaiman’s companion, and they both hunt Magic Users. ENFPs are natural allies of those who wield magic, as they understand and appreciate the power that lies within. Nikaido is a powerful magical creature, but she also has a heart of gold.
She’s always there to help her friend Kaiman when he needs it, and she’s become one of the most trusted members of Kaiman’s team. Together, they have put an end to many evil deeds committed by those who use magic for their own gain.
Her ENFP quote:
“I’m proud to identify as moronsexual. I’m attracted to dumbasses and dumbasses exclusively”
Monkey D. Luffy
Monkey D. Luffy is an eccentric pirate who, despite his mischievous behavior, shows tremendous bravery and grit in the face of danger. He is an ENFP, one of the most creative and unique personalities in the world. ENFPs are natural problem-solvers and they thrive in environments where they can be creative and innovative. T
hey are perfect candidates for careers in creative fields like advertising or design because they have a knack for coming up with new ideas and solutions. But even if you don’t have a creative bone in your body, being an ENFP can still be extremely rewarding.
Because ENFPs are so intuitive and intuitively aware, they often have a strong sense of intuition which allows them to know what people want without them having to ask.
His ENFP quote:
“If you don’t take risks, you can’t create a future”
Kamina from Gurren Lagann
Kamina is an ENFP, and the character he portrays in Gurren Lagann is one of the most memorable and relatable ENFPs to ever grace a screen. Kamina is passionate and always looking for ways to help others, no matter how small the gesture may seem. He’s also fiercely loyal to his friends, and will do anything to protect them.
Kamina’s optimistic attitude can be frustrating at times, but it’s ultimately what makes him so endearing. As the lead protagonist of Gurren Lagann, Kamina brings a breath of fresh air to anime protagonists who are often portrayed as dull or uninteresting. His passion for life is infectious, and we can’t wait to see what he does next!
His ENFP quote:
“I wanted to become a man who’s back would never break”
Chitanda Eru from Hyouka
Chitanda Eru is an ENFP and one of the most well-known characters from Hyouka. She is a highly intelligent and quirky girl who always stands up for what she believes in, even if it means standing up to her own friends. Despite her quirks, Chitanda is a very kind person and often comes to the aid of her classmates when they need it. Her bubbly personality makes her a joy to be around, regardless of the situation.
Eru does not have the ability to stop herself from venturing down unknown alleys to seek out solutions to problems that require complex analysis. Despite having been taught to be painstaking and polite, she is driven by her principles and passion to the point of being overpowering to others.
Her ENFP quote:
“It’s okay to get frustrated at times, it just shows that you’re really invested into that thing.”
Aang From The Last Airbender
The character of Aang (my very favorite character in this article) from the popular animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender is an ENFP. Driven by ideals.
Though he starts out as an awkward and inexperienced airbender, Aang grows into a powerful and compassionate leader. As he learns to navigate the world of Avatar, Aang also discovers his true identity and purpose.
ENFPs are natural leaders who are able to connect with others on a personal level. They are creative and innovative thinkers who enjoy helping others achieve their goals.
Aspiring ENFPs should focus on developing their intuition and intuition skills, as these will be key tools for successful leadership.
His ENFP quote:
“Anyone’s capable of great good and great evil”
Kenichi Shirahama
Kenichi is the title character and main Protagonist of History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi. He is the Disciple of the six masters of Ryōzanpaku, studying martial arts from them to not only get stronger but to ultimately gain the strength and courage needed to protect the people and values that are most important to him.
He is good-natured, timid and polite. He’s frequently treated as a friendless loser at the beginning of the series.
His ENFP quote:
“A good teacher teaches his disciple…a good disciple teaches his teacher”
Junko Enoshima
No one is 100% ENTP or 100% ENFP. Junko could classify as both. We could literally just classify her as both. I believe she has the cognitive functions of a Ti and a Fi which is what, again makes her so dangerous. She’s a very versatile person.
Junko may be considered pure evil. She is the one character on this list that is using her ENFP powers for evil, and not for good.
Her ENFP quote:
“Wherever there is hope, there is most definitely despair”
Mako Mankanshoku
Mako Mankanshoku is one of the most iconic characters in Kill la Kill. She is an ENFP and as such, she has a lot of personality and energy. Mako is also one of the most capable fighters in the show, which makes her a valuable asset to team Satsuki. Her quick thinking and sharp reflexes are a major contributing factor to Team Satsuki’s victory in many battles.
Her ENFP quote:
“To hell with your opinion! I’ll take my own path no matter what anyone else says”
ENFPs are creative and enthusiastic individuals who enjoy being around people. They are natural leaders and are always looking for ways to improve themselves and the world around them. These characters, I believe embrace that personality and use their natural strengths to make the world a better place (except for Junko 😝 )
