Wet days can have its downsides, but it’s also the perfect excuse to share an umbrella with that special someone. Of course, umbrella sharing doesn’t have to be limited to 3D partners, as you can always imagine your favorite character right beside you too!
That begs the question, though – which anime character would you want to be with on a rainy day? If you’re having trouble with the answer, no worries. We’re here with Anime!Anime!’s results to a poll of 186 fans’ top male characters to share umbrellas with!
6. Uzumaki Naruto, Naruto
6. Edogawa Conan, Detective Conan
6. Kabakura Tarou, Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii
6. Shuri Kojuro, Masamune-kun no Revenge

The tie for 6th place was pretty intense – just imagine that mix of characters vying to be by your side as you walk through the rain! However, the top 3 each managed to secure their position with ease. Let’s see if your favorite took 1st!
3. Amuro Toru, Detective Conan
Coming in 3rd with 3% of the vote (and surpassing Conan himself!) is talented agent Amuro Toru of Detective Conan! He was one of the leading characters in the recent movie Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer, and even got his own spinoff manga, so he’s been getting quite a bit of extra attention recently – but watch out for his more secretive side!
2. Kirito, Sword Art Online
Following up in 2nd with a solid 5% of the vote is Kirito of Sword Art Online. We get to see him constantly protecting Asuna while being incredibly skilled at playing through the different worlds in which he finds himself, so anyone would be safe under an umbrella as long as Kirito is at their side!
1. Sakata Gintoki, Gintama
Taking 1st with a phenomenal 9% of the vote is Sakata Gintoki of Gintama. He’s been voted as a fan favorite in list after list, from an ideal travel companion to one of Weekly Shonen Jump’s most powerful protagonists. Not only that, but Gintoki’s bizarre sense of humor is also sure to brighten you up even when you’re suffering from rainy day blues!
As usual, we have all sorts of favorites, and each and every one of them would make rainy days enjoyable. Where would you go with your favorite character?
