In anime, there are quite a few characters with unique appearances. However, their appearances sometimes don't reflect their true nature, like the characters we'll discuss below.
From the outside, they may appear like a bad guy or evil villain. However, they are actually kind-hearted. So, who are they? Let's get straight to the point in this article!
1. King – One Punch Man
You're probably already familiar with King from the One Punch Man series. He's an S-Class hero with a frightening and intimidating face, especially with the claw scars on his face that add to his terrifying appearance.
Most people who encounter King will immediately run away in fear. In reality, King is just an ordinary human without superpowers. He's even somewhat cowardly. Despite this, he has a kind nature and is easy to befriend. He and Saitama often play video games together.
2. Gordon Agrippa – Black Clover
Next, we have Gordon Agrippa from the Black Clover series. He is a member of the Black Bull squad with a very scary and intimidating appearance, especially since he rarely speaks. This adds to his mysterious impression.
Beneath this appearance, Gordon is actually a shy and insecure person. He really wants to make friends and interact with his peers normally. However, his efforts always fail. He sometimes mumbles to himself, causing others to misunderstand him.
3. Sanemi Shinazugawa – Kimetsu no Yaiba
Sanemi Shinazugawa is one of the strongest Hashira in Kimetsu no Yaiba. He has a face and body covered in scars from his years of fighting demons.
In terms of appearance, Sanemi does resemble a villain, especially with his temperamental and aggressive personality. However, Sanemi has a strong sense of justice and is determined to eliminate all demons. He also retains a soft side for others.
4. Ibiki Morino – Naruto
Ibiki Marino is the commander of Konoha's torture and interrogation squad. Ibiki may appear intimidating and villain-like, but he is a firm and caring figure who cares about the interests of the village of Konoha.

5. T-Bone – One Piece
When people first see T-Bone, they might be afraid because of his frightening and villain-like face. However, their views will certainly change once they learn T-Bone's true nature.
T-Bone is essentially a marine with a deep sense of compassion for others. If any of his crew members are injured, he will do whatever he can to help them. When his crew was adrift in the middle of the ocean, T-Bone didn't hesitate to run into a storm and heavy rain to seek help.
6. Yasutora Sado – Bleach
Yasutora Sado, also known as Chad, is one of Ichigo's most important friends in the Bleach series. He has a tall, large, and muscular build. His appearance strongly resembles that of a delinquent or perhaps a mafia boss.

7. Nendou Riki – Saiki Kusuo no Sai Nan
Nendou Riki is one of the funniest characters in the anime series Saiki Kusuo no Sai Nan. He may appear to be a rough delinquent, but he actually has a kind heart and loves to help others.

8. Hedoro – Gintama
In Gintama, Hedoro is an Amanto whose appearance is very frightening and frightens people. Once, he was even considered one of the strongest fighters in the universe.
However, Hedoro transforms into a kind and peaceful person after being infected by a parasitic flower. This effect makes him develop a deep love for flowers and plants. He also values the value of life so much that he can become furious if someone damages his plants.
9. Denken – Sousou no Frieren
When he first appeared in the story, Denken initially acted as an enemy who hindered Frieren. He appeared to be a cunning and ambitious old man.
