Sasuke is probably the character with the most fans fawning over him in Naruto. He’s a shinobi from the Hidden Leaf Village with a sharp tongue, stoic face, and few friends. Despite all this, he is surrounded by girls due to his good looks and mysterious aura. Although he initially had a bright personality, his dark past caused him to change for the worse.
All in all, Sasuke’s story in the anime was probably what fans found more captivating than Naruto’s since he dipped into the dark side to achieve all the good that he did. Here’s a list of 10 characters who are similar to Sasuke based on his general appearance and past.
10Ray: Promised Neverland
Ray is unique as he gives the impression that he doesn’t care much about others, but deep down, he tries to protect those close to him. His above-average IQ has saved him multiple times, and no matter how dangerous the situation seems, he tries to look out for his friends, like Sasuke used to.
It is also interesting to see that Ray becomes more mature towards the end of the series, as does Sasuke, although their circumstances are different. His hairstyle is strikingly similar to Sasuke, and he stays true to his ideologies no matter how dire the circumstance is.
9Vanitas: Case Study of Vanitas
Vanitas is a doctor from the Case Study of Vanitas who treats vampires who have had their true names stolen. While at first glance, Vanitas and Sasuke don’t seem to look alike besides their hair color, they are similar in the sense that both of them don’t have much room in their hearts for people.
Vanitas is a slightly more flamboyant character with more social skills and charm, unlike Sasuke, who is a bit more dull and unfriendly. Yet they are really alike because both of them are driven forward due to the immense feeling of resentment and revenge.
8Gray Fullbuster
Gray is a sorcerer who wields ice-make magic, and he’s one of the main characters in Fairy Tail. While saying that he and Sasuke are similar may sound like a stretch initially, on closer inspection, there are quite a few similarities besides their hair (there are quite a lot of anime characters with the same cool hair). Just like Sasuke, Gray too started out having the burning desire to avenge his master, Ur, who Deriora killed.
Everyone knows that Naruto and Sasuke are born rivals. Incidentally, Natsu and Gray too have a strong rivalry between them. Gray is also popular with the ladies due to his great looks (maybe not as much as Sasuke). The point where Gray and Sasuke differ though, is that Gray has a strong sense of togetherness with his friends and is more social than Sasuke is. He also has many peculiarities, like his stripping habit.
7Giyu Tomioka
Giyuu is more on the introverted side of the spectrum, as his shut-in nature cost him his communication skills, for which he does show regret in the anime. He comes off as brutally honest and robotic, but deep down, he doesn’t mean to keep people distant. The root cause of his self-hatred is solely because he wasn’t able to protect his one and only friend, causing him to be withdrawn and isolated.
Although Sasuke doesn’t exactly progress through the same situation, he still suffers from the loss of his loved ones. They both have slightly similar hair: long and black. Besides this, Giyuu’s clothing style resembles Sasuke’s in Naruto Shippuden.
6Tobio Kageyama: Haikyuu!
From the long black hair to the excessive competitiveness, Kageyama is more similar to Sasuke than you think. His external appearance and his rivalry with Hinata, which results in his need to surpass him, are identical to the rivalry between Sasuke and Naruto. They both have an intense and brooding personality that sets them a league above their peers. Their lust for getting better than everyone else impairs their ability to communicate effectively with others, thus resulting in isolation.
Although Kageyama’s past isn’t as dark and traumatizing as Sasuke’s, it still left a significant impact on his personality. All these factors combined make them similar to each other in many ways.
5Todoroki Shoto
Todoroki used to be the typical cold-hearted Shounen character with a lot of fangirls and an inflated ego until he gets humbled by his rival. Sasuke, too, has a somewhat similar experience. His cold personality stems from his deep-rooted trauma and dark past.
Appearance-wise, they are not that similar as Todoroki has dual-tone hair, a scar, and heterochromia, unlike Sasuke who doesn’t have a lot of distinguishable features. The way Todoroki resents his father is similar to the way Sasuke hates his brother. Although Todoroki has a faster character development than Sasuke, their personalities do align.
4Yuno: Black Clover
Yuno is a magic knight in the Clover Kingdom and also a protegee when it comes to magic. He had such an immense potential for magic that he was chosen by a four-leaf grimoire. Sasuke was top of his class, too in the academy, and he was always a step above his peers.
Yuno, however, isn’t driven by a strong yearning to avenge a loved one. He just doesn’t want to lose to his long-standing rival, Asta. So he aims to reach the position of Wizard King, A title given to the strongest mage in the Clover Kingdom. He resembles Sasuke in the sense that both of them aren’t social and that both have black hair and a stoic expression.
3Fushiguro Megumi
One of the strongest sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen and easily one of the coldest characters in the series, Fushiguro stands out as indifferent yet intense. His passion for becoming a jujutsu sorcerer is because of his hatred toward curses, like how Sasuke bears hatred for his brother. Although Megumi respects his teammates later in the series, he initially had a lone-wolf personality and thought that Itadori would just hinder his progress. However, it was quite the contrary.
Moreover, his appearance is somewhat similar to Sasuke’s, especially his dark black hair. He does mellow out as the show progresses; however, his rivalry with Yuji and Nobara remains consistent throughout.
2Aki Hayakawa
Aki is a Public Safety Devil Hunter who works in Tokyo Special Division 4 under Makima. He was assigned to supervise Denji and Power. Although he is really reluctant to look after Denji because of how barbaric he is, he takes Makima’s orders as she is one person that Aki truly respects.
Aki is a really cold-looking person who joined as a Devil Hunter to avenge the death of his family, who was murdered by a demon. This is quite similar to Sasuke because he, too is driven by his feelings for revenge. Despite his appearances, he does warm up to people and is really good at caring for people. Sasuke and Aki also have similar hair and expressions.
1Kurapika: Hunter×Hunter
While Kurapika may not match Sasuke appearance-wise, they are by far the most similar due to their circumstances. Kurapika is the last surviving member of the Kurta Clan, a powerful clan with eye-based abilities (exactly like the Uchiha clan), which was massacred and had their eyes stolen.
Kurapika deeply wished to exact revenge for his family by hunting down the members of the Phantom Troupe. He also wanted to find all the eyes that were stolen so that his family could rest in peace. Personality-wise, he may be a bit different from Sasuke, as Kurapika is more friendly.
