We are gonna start with the following :Chiyuki (Death Parade)Chiyuki is an INFP anime character who is more close to being an INTP personality because of the way she gives preferences to logic sometimes instead of her own personal values.Chiyuki was included in the list to show that not all INFP anime characters are hopelessly sentimental and can also think on the basis of logic sometimes.Although she mostly uses logic because of a tragedy she also gave into her emotions and became suicidal as she is a turbulent variant in nature.
Crona (Soul Eater)(Crona’s sex and gender are never revealed in the anime)Crona is a textbook INFP anime character who is of turbulent type but in the latter half becomes more stable after being treated kindly and accepted into the society by others.Even though afterward, Crona still is kind of melancholy, but it is still amazing though after all the things they have been through to be still that much positive about things.Isla (Plastic Memories)Isla is a highly private and introverted INFP anime character.She is a loving, kind, and spiritual kind of girl but is not very expressive.It takes some time for her to be open towards others and for others to understand her fully. Kaneki Ken (Tokyo Ghoul)Kaneki can be termed as poor in the anime as his tale is full of tragedies and end up losing his mind because of his turbulent nature.He becomes a ghoul and is being tortured for days even after that pointlessly by another evil ghoul.Although the story arc of Kaneki is not very productive or good, his character is still good as he had strong morals and loved books and hanging out with his friends when he was happy. Rakka (Haibane Renmei)Rakka is another of the INFP anime characters who is deeply loving, smart, sensitive, and idealistic and loves peace and harmony.She is also looking to find the deeper meaning of her existence and is positive in nature.Like other INFP personality types, she is a little ditsy around the edges but is hella cute.

Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama (Mob Psycho 100)There are many people who do not like Mob and are only watching the show because of other characters but in general he is one of the most popular INFP anime characters.The mob is another case of a healthy INFP who is kind, forgiving, genuine, quiet, thoughtful, a little spacey, and serious about his personal values.He is the one who is always looking at the bright side of things.Shinichi Izumi (Parasyte)He is one of the top five most popular and favorite anime characters and there might be so much to talk about him but let’s be brief.Shinichi is one of the INFP anime characters who have similar qualities to that of the other characters on this list.He values his ideas more than others and also seeks meaning in things.Shinji Ikari (NGE)Here is one of the most favorite characters of others, Shinji who is one of the most turbulent INFP anime characters and is also famous for getting onto the nerves of viewers.He has been brought up in a negative environment which has resulted in him having multiple traumas that go on increasing with time and is extremely unstable.Yukiteru Amano (Mirai Nikki)One of the most intensely and widely hated INFP anime characters is that of Yukiteru, he is in no way admirable even though there might be a time when you feel sympathy towards him and can understand his feelings and empathize with him.He does not always give it his all and does not try his best even before he goes through the trauma of the survival game.Yuki is another turbulent type having a lot of disorders including the ones related to anxiety.He is also likable in multiple ways and it is still hard to see the positive of things related to him but once you can understand him, it is still hard to hate him but sometimes you just love to hate him.There are also other INFP anime characters, Toboe from Wolf’s Rain, Atsushi from Bungou Stray, Vincent Law from Ergo Proxy, Rikka from Chuunibyou and Other Delusions, Watanuki from xxxHOLIC, Arita from Accel World, Kokutou Mikiya from Kara no Kyoukai, Myuuto from Princess Tutu, Bertholdt from Attack on Titan, Nunnally from Code Geass and others.Aside from INFP anime characters, there are also ISFJ anime characters who differ slightly in their personality traits.INFP anime characters from Haikyu
