Characters who are extroverted generally tend to be outgoing, social, and pretty likable barring a few exceptions. This is precisely why so many charismatic characters in anime tend to be extroverts, with their tropes generally leaning towards them being easy to approach and likable. If these characters are written poorly, then they end up being pretty grating to engage with, so mangaka have to tow a fine line between making these personas pretty outgoing without being too obnoxious in the process.
The following characters are great examples of likable extroverts that have become the most beloved part of their respective anime. Some of these characters can still feel a bit overbearing at times, but most people don't mind once they look at the grand scheme of things.
7 Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)
Naruto is one of the most iconic anime protagonists of all time. The character was ostracized by his village for the longest time, causing him to carry out goofy pranks and lash out in a bid to get some form of attention from the masses.
Over time, Naruto's outgoing personality made him more endearing to the masses, who understood his plight and realized that he was a stand-up ninja who would fight tooth and nail for his friends. Watching him slowly being accepted by the Leaf Village before being a hero is easily one of the best moments of redemption in the entire series.
6 Luffy (One Piece)
Luffy is the protagonist of One Piece and one of the best parts of the show. His relentless optimism makes him an easy captain to follow and trust in any given situation. It takes a while for him to amass a sizeable crew, but it's clear that Luffy is a force to be reckoned with as he slowly becomes more and more powerful over time.
His boisterous and charismatic personality convinces many people with good hearts to join his crew, while his enemies get even more frustrated by just how headstrong he really is. It was only a given that his name would come up in a conversation about the most extroverted anime characters around.
5 Misa Amane (Death Note)

Death Note is a well-known anime that served as the first taste of what this medium is like for many people. The battle of wits between L and Light made for a great time, with the rise of Kira prompting many reactions from the main characters and society as a whole.
One of the central characters who is introduced in the series is Misa Amane, an idol who has a Shinigami of her own. She's a blast to interact with, and watching Light struggle when it comes to manipulating her feelings makes for one of the many highlights in what is a great show.
4 Mr. Satan (Dragon Ball)
Dragon Ball is a legendary shonen anime featuring many beloved characters that have become legendary in their own right. One such character is Mr. Satan, who wastes no time in establishing himself as a martial arts hero who is adored by the masses despite being nowhere close to the main fighters of the series in terms of raw power.
However, Mr. Satan uses his reputation and influence to great effect during critical moments in the story to sway public opinion and help the Z Warriors out in a tough spot. Without his interference, Kid Buu might never have been defeated by Goku in the first place!
3 Present Mic (My Hero Academia)
Present Mic is an entertaining hero and teacher who helps the students out at My Hero Academia while serving as an announcer during the school's various events. At a glance, he seems like nothing more than a regular run-of-the-mill enthusiastic character who has a great bond with Aizawa.
It's only after My Hero Academia explores the backstory of this character further that viewers get to know what Present Mic is all about. He may be a positive and upbeat dude, but Present Mic has gone through his fair share of hardships in the series, including the loss of his dear friend.
2 Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach)
There are many people who find Ichigo's character to be pretty one-dimensional, and it's easy to see why this is the case. The man is so hell-bent on protecting people that he isn't even completely familiar with that it makes his character's motivations downright laughable at times... but, in all fairness, this is also one of the reasons why Ichigo's such a good protagonist in his own right.
His selfless attitude coupled with his tendency to sway people and become friends in record time makes him an easy, if somewhat boring, protagonist to root for. With Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War finally being adapted into an anime, fans can't wait to see how his character develops in this arc.
1 Joseph Joestar (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
Joseph Joestar is a fan-favorite protagonist of many in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The fact that players love this character despite this part not having the iconic Stands that have become a staple of JoJo shows just how well-written and likable Joseph is.
Regardless of the adversities he's facing, Joseph never stops smiling and wills his comrades to fight back as well. He's an extremely likable person who can turn on his charm and charisma whenever required, making him a great protagonist and one of the most legendary descendants of the Joestar bloodline.
