My favorite charcter would have to be Brandon Heat, from Gungrave. He's a quiet tall man who only wants to make sure that his friends and the ones that he cares for are protected and safe. His best friend joins the mafia so he joins too, to ensure his safety. He even becomes a hitman just to make sure that he can protect the ones he loves. He's a very odd and quiet character, but he's loyal and true, which is why I always thoght he was the coolest anime character.
