Like all forms of fiction, fans gravitate towards anime characters because of their personalities and history, the things which show they are human. Anime tends to give characters as much personal detail as possible, which is why most characters have a birthday. Certain series make it a point to celebrate specific birthdays, and it turns out that several well-known anime characters were born in June.
8 Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon)
Sailor Moon has been around since the 90s, and it helped to turn a generation of young girls into anime fans. Usagi Tsukino is the main character, and she was born on June 30th. She was originally a member of the Moon Kingdom, but she was reborn on Earth where she became Sailor Moon, the leader of the Sailor Guardians.
Usagi is known for her long blond hair, and when she goes into battle, she wears her iconic armored leotard uniform. She does not like fighting, but when she does, she uses powers that revolve around moonlight, healing, love, and purification.
7 Juuzou Suzuya (Tokyo Ghoul)

His childhood was pretty rough, as he was held by an influential Ghoul, and this experience made it so that he no longer feels things like pain or fear. He stitches himself as a form of body modification, and he is a very talented fighter who can take on some of the more terrifying Ghouls. He was born June 8th.
6 Elizabeth Liones (Seven Deadly Sins)
When Elizabeth was first introduced in The Seven Deadly Sins, she was an ordinary human princess, but as the series progressed, fans learned that she is actually part of the Goddess Clan. Her clan was at war with the Demon Clan, but that did not stop her from falling in love with Meliodas, the Demon King’s son.
As punishment for this, she was cursed with reincarnation. Each time she died, she would come back as a human with no memories, and each time she regained her memories, she would die a short time later.

She was born on June 2nd, and her father trained her to be a ninja from a very young age, which explains why she is so good at throwing kunai. Thanks to her training, Sarutobi’s aim is perfect, despite the fact that she has poor eyesight.
4 Miroku (Inuyasha)
In Inuyasha, Miroku is a known womanizer, but he is also a kind and brave pacifist who would willingly sacrifice himself to protect others. He was born on June 2nd, and from the moment he was born, he was forced to live with a literal ticking clock.
His grandfather battled a powerful half-demon named Naraku numerous times, and Naraku placed a curse on his right hand which was passed down to his decedents.
