Hahahaha.. listing 5 out of hundreds is hard.. i'll list down 10 xD
So I'll list my top 5 male and top 5 female along with a little explanation why they're on the list.

Top 5 male:
1. Sakata Gintoki (Gintama) - a lazy Jump-loving samurai. Willing to do anything for parfait. Very reliable in a fight and stresses the importance of calcium. lol
2. Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop) - the very definition of a "cool" guy.
3. Alucard (Hellsing Ultimate) - Vampire god. Can raise his own army. This is how vampires should be emotion_dowant
4. Rider/ Alexander the great (Fate/Zero) - he is such a great big brother character. Open-minded and stoic. Can also raise his own army. xD
5. Hanamichi Sakuragi (Slam Dunk) - you can actually see this guy grow in the series. He may be simple-minded and stubborn at times but he does his best most of the time.

[special mention to: Hasegawa Taizou (Gintama) the best side character ever rofl ]

Top 5 female:
1. Yukino Miyazawa (Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou) - She's such a fun character. Very conceited and headstrong but is sensible once she meets her match. Her insecurities make her very relatable.
2. Tama (Gintama) - Despite being a robot, she is a loyal friend and will never let you down. Very useful when electronic devices/appliances breakdown.
3. Kyoko Mogami (Skip Beat-manga) - she has the same feel as yukino (above) but she's a little more airheaded hence her lower rank.
4. Emma ( Eikoku Koi Monogatari Emma) - she moves with such grace and elegance that I can't even explain it. xD
5. Makino Tsukushi (Hana Yori Dango) - very spunky and her fighting spirit is admirable.

1. Ibuki - Danganronpa
2. Yamamoto - KHR
3. Adachi - Persona 4
4. Sakura - Danganronpa
5. Hawkeye - FMA


I was debating weather or not DR and P4 would count but I remembered they both have an anime and manga so it made this a little easier
