Ken

Ken is my favorite fighting game character of all time. The blonde hair and red costume is fire :p He also has the coolest move in gaming history: Shoryuken/Dragon Punch

Bayonetta

Another character that feels like it's been around for decades. Bayonetta is an instant classic.

Vincent Valentine

The dark and mysterious Vincent! Love his design, the gauntlet, shredded cloak, the color, everything. He also has an interesting backstory and some sick moves!

Sonic

I didn't grow up with SEGA but I always loved the Sonic games mostly due to the character design. Great style, awesome design, lots of attitude.

Red (Transistor)

A character that works on multiple dimensions, very well crafted. Love everything about it. Design, use of color, story, personality, everything.

Luigi

Luigi developed beyond his simple Mario clone role. We all remember his funky high jump in Mario 2, but his underdog persona allowed him to become more complex than Mario, Luigi is funny and tragic, plus green fireballs are awesome!

Dart

Awesome design, both in base form and dragoon form. I played LoD and FF8 at the same time and kept thinking Dart was a less emo/more vibrant version of Squall :p

Felicia

Awesome, sexy and memorable. Definitely one of the best character designs from Capcom. She has cool moves like a sonic type ball spin and the ability to call other cat women for help.

Mario

I like his red and blue outfit and mustache.

Frog

One of my favorite things about JRPGs, especially older ones, are the playable anthropomorphic characters. Usually beasts and dragon type characters, in CT you get a frog warrior, and frogs are top 3 animals for me, plus his sprite is too awesome!

Pikachu

Not much to say about pika. Great character design, an instant classic!

Lynx

Absolutely love his design, costume, weapon, story. I watched the Chrono Cross trailer that came with Vagrant Story everyday until release, and speculated as to who this catdude might be? Needless to say I never guessed his role in the game :p

Raiden (Mortal Kombat)

Raiden was my main back in the day. I love his teleport, lightning bolt and his raidenbapaya diving thingy. His design is also really cool with the hat and blue/white costume.

Yoshi

Loved this guy since Yoshi's Cookie and Mario World. Glad he became a Nintendo staple!

Tron Bonne

The pirate mechanic Tron! Love her personality and design from the Mega Man Legends series including her very own game which is truly fantastic. I also like her in the MvC series. Capcom needs to use her (and her army of servbots) more often!

Kerrigan

A great female villain. She reminds me Aliens and Predator. She also seemed to inspire another Blizzard character, Sylvanas from Warcraft.

Kirby

Kirby as grown on me through the years. Such a great character with unlimited potential. His design has unique qualities that keep expanding his potential and that of his games into something truly unique.

Terra Branford

Terra is a great overall character. She has a complete arc filled with emotion and growth placed into an amazing design. Terra's concept art is my favorite out of all of Amano's work.

Ryu (Breath of Fire I-IV)

Big fan of Ryu in his multiple reincarnations (I-IV), it's a very interesting way of doing things, adding both familiar and new traits.His blue hair is always awesome and his swordsmanship and fishing skills impressive.
