Boruto (Naruto)
Boruto is the son of Naruto Uzumaki, and, like his father, the star of his very own anime series. Though not quite as popular asNaruto,Borutostill draws in plenty of readers and viewers each week, and a big part of that is down to the personal growth of the main protagonist throughout the series. AniGamerNX is clearly a fan, as evidenced by their decision to recreate Boruto inWWE 2K23’s creation suite.

Ichigo (Bleach)
Ichigo Kurosaki has been through an awful lot over the years, yet continues to fight for what he believes is right. He overcomes plenty of powerful opponents throughout the course ofBleach, demonstrating phenomenallevels of power that few anime protagonists can match. This makes him a great fit forWWE 2K23’s roster, and creator glorysosa does a wonderful job of bringing him to the game as a CaW.

Inosuke Hashibira (Demon Slayer)
TheDemon Slayeranime took the world by storm when it debuted in April of 2019, helping to bring Koyoharu Gotouge’s record-breaking manga to a brand-new audience. There are plenty of powerful characters inDemon Slayer, but Inosuke Hashibira is one of the very best. Having been raised by boars in the mountains,Inosuke is able to use a special breathing style known as Beast Breathing, which gives him access to a range of unstoppable techniques. Sadly, Beast Breathing doesn’t exist inWWE 2K23, but Inosuke can still hold his own against some of the game’s toughest Superstars.

Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia)
Deku has grown a lot throughout the course ofMy Hero Academia, both as a hero and as a person. Although he started the series Quirkless, he soon came to be in possession of One For All, which many consider to be the most powerful Quirk in all existence. Deku uses its power to overcome all sorts of obstacles and opponents, and can now do so inWWE 2K23thanks once again to the impressive efforts of AniGamerNX.

Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul)
Kaneki serves as the main protagonist ofTokyo Ghoul. Unlike most other anime protagonists though, he’s far from a hero, with a lot of his actions falling into that morally gray area between good and evil. Despite this, he can be pretty relatable at times, which is a big part of what makes both him and the series itself so compelling. Fans of either should definitely checkout MaskedPunk’s Kaneki CaW, as it’s easily one of the best custom Superstars based on anime characters inWWE 2K23.

Ryuko Matoi (Kill la Kill)
Ryuko Matoi is a certified badass andthe main protagonist ofKill la Kill. When her father is murdered, she transfers to the mysterious Honnōji Academy in search of his killer, but ends up finding far more than she bargained for while there. It’s an excellent series with an exceptional lead, which is likely why NukaDoomsday felt compelled to recreate Ryuko inWWE 2K23.

Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon)

It’s full to the brim with loveable characters, the most notable of which is Usagi Tsukino, a young girl capable of transforming into the titular Sailor Moon.

Saitama (One Punch Man)
Given thatSaitama is one of the strongest anime characters of all time, it makes sense that fans would want to recreate him inWWE 2K23. Many have tried, but it is Stern who comes the closest, with their version of Saitama being instantly recognizable as theOne Punch Manprotagonist. Sadly, it’ll take a lot more than just one punch to bring down the likes of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, but in the right hands, Saitama can still be every bit as deadly as he is in the popular anime and manga series.
