17 Year Old Anime Characters

While anime fans of all ages exist, the vast majority are in their teens and twenties - and so are the majority of anime characters. It's fun to compare yourself to anime characters at the same stage of life as yourself, so with that in mind, let's take a look at some anime characters who share your age.

If you're a younger anime fan, you might be able to relate to Izuku Midoriya, Naruto Uzumaki, and Tanjiro Kamado, three 15-year-olds who are chasing big goals. If you've reached your adulthood, you might vibe more with Shota Aizawa, Daikichi Kawachi and Takuma Sakamoto, who are 30 years old - a rare age for the world of anime .

25-year-old Saitama gave up on corporate life after getting fired, and ended up becoming one of the most OP superheroes in anime history. L Lawliet is the most accomplished detective in the world, and for the first half of the series, he's hot on Light Yagami's trail.

At 17, Edward Elric is the youngest state alchemist in history. He earned that position by engaging with very dangerous alchemy that literally cost him an arm and a lege at an early age. Monkey D. Luffy is the protagonist of One Piece and a key member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
