Orange is one of the less popular colors, but it is still quite popular in the world of anime. We have many characters who have their hair orange colored. These characters are usually upbeat, cheerful, and bursting with energy.
You will often find these characters in supporting roles. Since they can remain cheerful in any situation, they often take the role of helping the main characters emotionally when faced with hardships. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. We have also seen a few main characters with orange hair. Since many main characters in the shounen series are also optimistic, cheerful, and sometimes even fierce. Orange is also a popular choice for them.
So let’s look at the list of 15 such male characters who have orange hair.

1) Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach)
Ichigo is the main character of the Bleach series. He is a fairly tall man with spiky orange hair, often becoming a reason for others to ridicule him. He is pretty stubborn and pretends to be coolheaded.
In high school, he tries to get enough grades to not make his teachers and other classmates look down on him for being somewhat delinquent. As a person who tries to maintain his life in both the real and spirit world, he carries a lot of burdens.
He might not be the perfect example of a cheerful character with orange hair, but he is surely energetic and empathetic toward others. His expression may say something else, but deep down, he cares for the people around him.
2) Shoyo Hinata (Haikyuu!!)
Hinata is another example of orange haired character being the protagonist. He is one of the middle blockers of his high school’s volleyball team. He is a friendly guy who can make friends with even the most unfriendly guys.
His overall strength lies in his optimism and his ability to jump. By being optimistic in any kind of situation he keeps the morale of his team-high. And his ability to jump, even with his small size, allows him to observe the court from above and aim at the openings.
3) Kyo Sohma (Fruits Basket)
Kyo is a charismatic and hot-blooded important character in the Fruits Basket series. He is possessed by the spirit of Cat, who couldn’t make it into the Chinese zodiac because of a prank played by the Rat. Due to this, he has been discriminated against in his own family. Due to this, he never grew up to be emotionally unstable.
He is a very short-tempered, stubborn, brash, and sharp-tongued person. He cares for people but often ends up shouting at them.
Kyo, however, eventually develops into a more composed, kind, and emotionally mature person under the influence of Tohru, who reaches out to him with patience and true understanding rather than with force or pity.

5) Emiya Shirou (Fate/Stay Night)
Shirou used to be a cheerful kid, but due to a tragedy that happened in his past, he always struggled with trauma. He is still an energetic and optimistic kid on the outside, but inside he hides a deep desire to achieve his impossible goal of becoming a Hero of Justice.
In his daily life, he helps everyone that he can. He never turns down the request, even from people he doesn’t like.
Which often ends up being harmful to him. During his quest to become a Hero, he faces a lot of obstacles and sees how hypocritical his dream is. But he never gave up on his dream and kept moving with a smile on his face.

9) Sasaki Shuumei (Sasaki and Miyano)

But when around Miyano, he is quite caring and cheerful. His personality can change drastically based on his mood and the people he is talking to.
10) Kouichi Shindou (Horimiya)
The author of Horimiya has taken great care in designing characters completely based on their personalities. He designed Shindou with bright orange hair color, which matches his personality well.

14) Hikaru Hitachiin (Ouran High School Host Club)
The older of the identical Hitachiin twins, Hikaru, is enrolled in Class 1-A alongside his younger brother, Kaoru. Although he is the “leader twin,” Kaoru is more mature when it comes to controlling his emotions and interacting with other people.
Hikaru is very possessive of every club member in an immature way because of his immaturity in social situations.
15) Kaoru Hitachiin (Ouran High School Host Club)
The younger Hitachiin twin, Kaoru, is enrolled in Class 1-A with his identical twin, Hikaru. Despite being younger than Hikaru, he exhibits greater maturity and objectivity.
