Ubel from Frieren is easily one of the most popular characters of Winter 24. Soon enough, she’ll be deserving of the spot in the list of most popular anime characters with green hair.
While green hair is far from natural in real life, it’s a pretty popular hair color in anime, enough that there are dozens of popular characters rocking the look.
In this article, we list some of the most popular green-haired anime characters, ranging from shonen favorites to more unique picks.
Roronoa Zoro from One Piece
Luffy aside, Roronoa Zoro isone of the most popular characters in One Piece. This is no surprise thanks to the fact that he’s one of the strongest of the Straw Hat Crew, not to mention that he just oozes cool.
His bright green hair also makes him quite memorable, enough that even those who don’t read or watch One Piece are likely familiar with him.
Of course, there is a downside to his green hair. It’s the source of his nickname moss-head which Sanji often uses to make fun of him.
Tatsumaki from One-Punch Man
No green-haired anime character list would be complete without Tasumaki aka the Tornado of Terror from One-Punch Man.
As the S-Class Rank 2 hero in the series’ world, Tatsumaki is an incredibly powerful individual. This means she has played a big role in many of the series’ arcs.
Tatsumaki’s bright green hair is one of her visual trademarks, the other is her short height. Despite being 28 years old, she is often mistaken for a kid.

Broly from Dragon Ball
Technically, Broly from Dragon Ball has black hair in his standard form. When you ask fans about Broly though, they’ll instantly think of him with green hair.
That’s because Broly’s Super Saiyan form gives him bright green hair, in the same way that Goku and Vegeta’s hair turns blue in their Super Saiyan Blue forms.
Given how powerful Broly’s Legendary form is, his green-haired transformation deserves to be on this list.
C.C. from Code Geass
Code Geass features lots of memorable characters, including C.C. This is thanks in part to her iconic green locks, as well as her special powers which can give Geass powers to others.
Even though C.C. can be rather emotionless, she still has a memorable personality thanks to her stubborn nature. Plus, there are times when she has shown kindness, not to mention her unexpected love for pizza.
Izukui ‘Deku’ Midoriya from My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia’s protagonist Deku is consistently one of the highest-ranked characters in the manga’s popularity polls, and for good reason.
Even though Deku inherited his Quirk, he still had to and continues to train so that he can fully make use of it. His nature of never giving up has endeared him to many viewers.
His appearance has also become quite memorable at this point, as his dark green hair and green outfit are a common sight in the anime world, be it through collab, fanart, or cosplay.
Maki Zenin from Jujutsu Kaisen
Maki Zenin may have black hair in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, but her anime appearance shows her with dark green hair.
This is apparent in both the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie and MAPPA’s TV anime series. It’s not clear why MAPPA changed her hair color, but it does suit her.
Whether fans prefer her black hair or her green anime hair, what’s certain is that Maki is one of the most important characters in the series, especially following the events of the Shibuya Incident arc.
