Anime Character Generator: Make Your Own Anime Character with AI
An anime character creator that works in your browser. Choose an anime style, a character type and a few traits, add a line about who they are, and the AI draws a brand-new anime character as a full-body portrait in about a minute. Random fills every choice when you want a surprise. Once your character is ready, one click makes it move, and another casts it in an anime story video.
Your characters stay private in your account. No watermark.
Anime characters made with AI
A shonen fighter, a shojo ballerina, a retro space diver, a manga swordsman and a chibi baker: each one an original anime character drawn from a style and a short description.
Make your anime character move
A character sheet is only the start. Make it move sends your anime character to the video generator as the first frame: describe a punch, a dance or a twirl, and get a short animated clip.
Cast your character in an anime short
Put in a story opens the story studio with your character already in the cast and an idea written around them. Keep the idea or change it, and the studio writes the script, draws the scenes with your character as the reference, and adds narration and music.
Eight anime styles
Modern Anime is the default, the clean look of today’s TV series. Go back to 90s cels, pick shonen or shojo, switch to black-and-white manga ink for a manga character, or try soft watercolor, chibi or cel-shaded 3D. No style borrows a studio’s or a show’s name.
Modern Anime
Today’s TV anime: clean lines and bright cel shading.
90s Retro Anime
Hand-painted cels, muted colours and film grain.
Shonen
Bold action-hero anime: sharp lines and strong poses.
Shojo
Soft romantic anime: sparkling eyes and delicate lines.
Manga Ink
Black-and-white manga: ink lines and screentone.
Soft Watercolor Anime
Anime drawn with gentle watercolour washes.
Chibi
Tiny and cute: a big head, a small body, round soft shapes.
Anime 3D
Anime proportions in a cel-shaded 3D render.

Why use this anime character generator
A new character every time
The AI anime character generator draws someone who did not exist before, from your choices and your words, instead of handing you a character from a show.
Anime styles, not one filter
Modern, 90s retro, shonen, shojo, manga ink, soft watercolor, chibi and anime 3D: the same anime character design looks very different in each.
An anime character maker with Random
Random picks a style, a type, a personality, an outfit and colours in one click. Press it until a character clicks, then adjust.
A full-body anime character creator
Full body by default, centred, on a plain background, in a 2:3 portrait: ready to use as a reference for fan art, a game or an animation.
From picture to animation
Most anime character creators stop at a picture. Here the same character can fight, dance or turn around in a short clip.
From character to anime story
Cast your character in a narrated story video, with the scenes drawn from the character you made.
Not a random anime character picker
Many sites called a random anime character generator spin a wheel and land on a character from an existing anime. That is handy for a drawing prompt, but the character is someone else’s.
This anime character creator works the other way round: Random fills in a style, a type, a personality, an outfit and colours, and the AI draws a new anime character from them. It does not copy official characters and does not offer shows or studios as art styles, so what you get is your own.
What people create anime characters for
Manga, webtoons and stories
A main cast for a comic, a light novel or a roleplay, each drawn from a short description.
Anime avatars
Use it as an anime avatar maker: an anime or chibi profile picture of the character you play, for Discord, games and socials.
Games and visual novels
Heroes, rivals and side characters for an indie game, a visual novel or a tabletop campaign.
Anime shorts
A recurring character for animated clips and narrated story videos.
Tips for a better anime character
- Match the style to the character: shonen for a fighter, shojo for a romance lead, chibi for a mascot, manga ink for a black-and-white comic.
- Give the character one detail that stands out, like cat ears, a glowing sword or an eyepatch. One clear detail beats five vague ones.
- Describe the role as well as the look. “A sleepy transfer student who is secretly a demon hunter” gives the AI a pose and an expression.
- Keep full body on if you plan to animate the character or put it in a story: the whole outfit is then there to keep.
- Give your character a name before Put in a story, so the script calls them by it.
