Choosing the right anime character can take your AI dance video from ordinary to extraordinary. After analyzing thousands of viral videos, we’ve compiled the ultimate list of anime characters that work perfectly with motion transfer apps like MoveAs.

Why Anime Characters Work So Well

Anime characters have distinct visual features—bold colors, expressive designs, and recognizable silhouettes—that make them perfect for AI dance videos. They’re also incredibly popular, with built-in audiences who love seeing their favorite characters in unexpected situations.

The Top 10 Anime Characters

1. Goku (Dragon Ball)

The legendary Saiyan warrior is instantly recognizable. His orange gi and spiky black hair translate beautifully in AI-generated videos. Works especially well with:

  • High-energy dances
  • Power-up themed trends
  • Action sequences

2. Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)

With his orange jumpsuit and headband, Naruto’s design is perfect for motion transfer. His personality suits comedic dances, and the massive fanbase ensures good engagement.

3. Tanjiro Kamado (Demon Slayer)

Demon Slayer’s popularity makes Tanjiro a viral goldmine. His green and black checkered pattern is distinctive and translates well in AI outputs.

4. Luffy (One Piece)

The Straw Hat captain’s simple but iconic design—red vest, blue shorts, straw hat—works across different dance styles. Perfect for silly, carefree content.

5. Gojo Satoru (Jujutsu Kaisen)

The blindfolded sorcerer has become a TikTok favorite. His cool aesthetic and white hair make for visually striking dance videos.

6. Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan)

Levi’s stoic personality creates hilarious contrast when he’s dancing. His Survey Corps uniform is instantly recognizable to anime fans.

7. Sailor Moon

A classic choice that appeals to both nostalgia and current fans. Her magical girl transformation sequences pair amazingly with dance transitions.

8. Saitama (One Punch Man)

The bald hero works surprisingly well for comedy content. His plain appearance and deadpan personality create perfect comedic contrast with energetic dances.

9. Zero Two (Darling in the Franxx)

Her pink hair and red horns are visually striking. Zero Two has maintained popularity years after her show ended, making her a safe bet for engagement.

10. Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen)

The King of Curses brings an edgy aesthetic to dance videos. Works best with darker, more intense music choices.

Tips for Using Anime Characters

Find High-Quality Images

The better your source image, the better your output. Look for:

  • Official artwork
  • Clear, uncluttered backgrounds
  • Full-body poses when possible
  • High resolution images

Match the Vibe

Consider your character’s personality when choosing a dance:

  • Goku → High-energy, powerful moves
  • Levi → Sharp, precise choreography
  • Luffy → Silly, carefree dancing
  • Gojo → Smooth, confident moves

Stay Current

New anime seasons bring new popular characters. Keep an eye on:

  • Seasonal anime charts
  • TikTok anime communities
  • Cosplay trends

While using anime characters for personal content is generally acceptable under fair use (parody/transformative use), be mindful of:

  • Not using official artwork for commercial purposes
  • Crediting original creators when appropriate
  • Understanding platform-specific rules
