Sure, the big names in the anime world do mostly appear to be male, such as Naruto, One Piece's Luffy, and Bleach's Ichigo, but there are still an impressive amount of pretty ass-kicking female characters.  And, of course, there are the heroines of romance shoujo novels.


SEE ALSO: Male idols best fit for certain Anime Characters


Which female idols are similar to these female anime characters?  Maybe you have some general ideas of your own, but check out the list below to see what we came up with and see if you agree!


1. Suzy as Kagome/Kikyo (Inuyasha)



As Kagome is pretty much the reincarnation of Kikyo and they look strikingly alike, Suzy would probably be similar to both.  As a matter of fact, the two characters could be considered two halves of a whole.  After all, Kagome is sweet, cute, responsible, and caring.  Kikyo is the more stoic, charismatic, and serious one.  Both of them together would be Suzy who shows off her aegyo for CFs but transforms into a charismatic performer on stage.

2. Crayon Pop as Sailor Scouts (Sailor Moon)



Crayon Pop already has the pose down.  Just assign each one a color and they would be able to delight young girls as much as Sailor Moon has for many, many years.  

3. Bora as Yoruichi (Bleach)



Bora looks good in purple--her name even means purple.  Yoruichi has purple hair and looks good in that, as well, so already the two of them have this connection. Not only that, they are both amazingly athletic and super cool.  Both are relatively serious a lot of the times, but have plenty goofy moments, too.

4. Sulli as Haruhi (Ouran High School Host Club)



Sulli already played the girl pretending to be a boy so why not continue in the role of Haruhi?  Sulli seems as calm as Haruhi most of the time, yet when she smiles, she brightens up the entire room just like Haruhi.  This combination is how Haruhi and Sulli both manage to win the hearts of all their fanboys.

5. Seohyun as Nodame (Nodame Cantabile)



I had a hard time imagining Seohyun as the completely bizarre and 4-dimensional (sometimes even hentai) Nodame.  Seohyun is so put-together all the time and seems to have little room for complete nonsense whereas Nodame is so ridiculous and all over the place as if she came from another planet.  However, I decided Seohyun had one of the most important traits out of most other female idols--she is an excellent pianist.  She is actually known for it and this is important because Nodame is such an incredibly gifted pianist and the entire manga centers on music. Plus, if Seohyun really wanted to act like the crazy Nodame in a Korean live action, she could definitely do it cause she's talented enough.  What is interesting is that I remember Yonghwa really liked Ueno Juri so the Japanese actress appeared in a 'We Got Married' episode.  She was the amazing actress who played Nodame in the Japanese live-action (a must-see, I'm telling you).


Watch the video below to see Seohyun's piano skills!



6. Ji Eun as Hinata (Naruto)



Obviously, their hairstyles are pretty similar, but that's not all.  Hinata is well-liked because she's adorably reticent and kind-hearted.  Ji Eun, likewise, seems a bit quiet, yet does not back away from challenges.  She is determined to show her best side to others much like Hinata.

7. Nana as Sunako (The Wallflower)



Nana would do a good job of being both the mysterious and dark Sunako as well as the adorable and innocent chibi Sunako.  Nana is just an interesting, complicated girl and while contemplating whether she would fit this role, I remembered her feeding poor Mir ice-cream while wearing blindfolds during MBLAQ's 'Idol Army' days.  It was just something I could kind of see Sunako doing.  She would definitely wear those blindfolds cause she can't look at attractive men, anyway.  I admittedly was tempted to make Nana one of the Nana girls from the immensely popular manga and anime, but loved her too much as Sunako.  Check out the video below.



 

8.  G.NA as Tsunade (Naruto)



G.NA is extremely sweet so it might be hard to imagine her as the hot-tempered Tsunade, but at the same time, I could still see her angry face looking as fierce and intimidating as it should for a super strong hokage.  She would have fun with it.  Plus, she has the youthful pretty look (although Tsunade is really a "granny") and of course the body.


9. IU as Cardcaptor Sakura (Cardcaptor Sakura)



They're both adorable, refreshing, and extremely talented.  While Sakura is good at literally everything from roller blading to cooking, IU is good at singing.  They both also give off the feeling that they need to be protected, the vibe that they are younger sisters that older brothers need to protect--YET they prove they actually do not need as much protection as people may think.  Have you not seen how IU handled the person who spread rumors about her "impending marriage"?  She's tougher than she looks and so is Sakura.  Plus, IU would look adorable in all of Sakura's very fancy costumes.


10. Minah as Winry Rockbell (Fullmetal Alchemist)



Minah is both adorable and can pull off the tomboy style.  Everything about Winry is also adorable and likeable, especially her passion for anything mechanical.  She can also be strong-willed and blunt.  Minah worked very hard to get to where she is now both singing and recognition-wise so she could greatly portray Winry's determination and passion.


11. Hyosung as Rangiku (Bleach)



Yes, they both have very glamorous bodies--but even more than that, they are proud, confident, and don't have any inhibitions about flaunting this fact.  This is why Hyosung would make a good Rangiku--plus, she's had orange hair before and can really pull it off.  Both are spunky and outgoing and I think Hyosung would have as much fun teasing Hitsugaya.  We also know both Hyosung and Rangiku can be serious when they need to be, but always try to appear as bright as possible despite the circumstances.



There are probably many awesome female anime characters that I missed since there are so many of them!
