One of the most loved shows by people around the world is anime. In addition to having innovative stories, the appeal of this Japanese animation lies in each character that has its own uniqueness.

Characters in anime tend to wear anything, depending on each series. Therefore, wearing something like a mask is a common thing and adds a mysterious impression for viewers watching it.

Here is a list of the most iconic masked characters in anime. Let's check out the list below!
