Anime OC Maker

Expressive eyes, bold hair and outfits for school, fantasy or the street. Build an anime character of your own.

Hair color

An anime OC is an original character drawn in the visual language of anime: large readable eyes, hair with a strong shape, and an outfit that tells you the genre at a glance. This maker gives you those pieces and lets you color them any way you want.

Because the character is original, you decide the story. Nothing here is copied from an existing series.

Start with the role, not the hair

Anime casts are built from roles that play against each other. Decide which one you are making and the design follows.

Protagonist: one bright color, open expression, slightly messy hair. Try Messy spikes with Round eyes and an Open grin.
Rival: the protagonist's opposite. Cooler colors, Sharp eyes, Smirk, hair Over one eye.
Mentor: calmer shapes, Sleepy or Tired eyes, a Scar or glasses, muted clothes.
Comic relief: the loudest hair color, Wink or Happy closed eyes, Cat mouth.

Genre through outfit

The same face reads differently in different clothes. A Sailor uniform or Blazer places the character in a school story. The Kimono suits historical and demon-hunting settings. The Tunic with a Cape says fantasy adventure. An Open jacket with Cargo pants is modern action. Pick the genre first and half the outfit decisions are already made.

Eyes carry the personality

Anime puts more information in the eyes than any other feature. Sparkle eyes read as hopeful, Sharp eyes as intense, Sleepy eyes as detached, Dot eyes as comedic. Eye color is free, so use it for contrast: a warm eye against cool hair, or the reverse, draws attention to the face even at thumbnail size.
