Despite being an anime animal, Jiji is recognized as one of the most remarkable characters in Ghibli animated movies.

7. Sadaharu (Gintama)
Originally, Sadaharu is a Dog God serving an honorable mission of protecting the Priestess Sisters, however, he is currently a member of the Yorozuya, with Gintoki, Kagura, and Shinpachi. Putting aside his oversized body, he looks exactly like a normal white-fur dog. Unlike his calm and kawaii appearance, Sadaharu is actually kind of aggressive and destructive, which he likes to bite other people's heads and destroy things. However, deep down, his loyalty to his friends is unconditional, which turns him into one of the best animal characters.
8. Luna (Sailor Moon)
Luna is not only a guardian guard of Usagi, but also an advisor for the Sailor Moon. She has a black - purple fur with a crescent moon on her forehead; and sometimes, she is able to make really kawaii expressions.

9. Charmander (Pokemon)
Charmander means fire dragon, its Japanese name is a combination of a fire dragon and lizard. As the name suggests, Charmander does have a fiery tail that burns and makes a crackling sound. Unlike its fierce name, Charmander has a cute appearance, being one of the most kawaii animal characters in Pokémon's world. The fire in Charmander's tail shows its health as well as emotions. When its health is weak or it is sad, the flame in the tail becomes weaker, on the other hand, when it is healthy or happy, the flame will be more radiant.
10. Black Hayate (Fullmental Alchemist)
Black Hayate is a Shiba Inu puppy, he was almost abandoned on the street and then saved by Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, who later gave him his current name. He is a dog, which means his sense of hearing and smelling is useful in many cases. Compared to other anime animals that own magical abilities or superpower, Black Hayate is just a normal dog. However, he is extremely loyal and obedient to the point, it makes him among the most kawaii anime animals ever created.
11. Cerberus (Cardcaptor Sakura)
Cerberus or Keroberos is named after a three - headed beast in Greek mythology that serves as a guard for Hades, it's similar to Cerberus's duty in Cardcaptor Sakura as a protector. In the borrowed form, he looks like a kawaii anime animal, with adorable and harmless features; but in his true form, he appears to be a real dangerous beast. His inner self is not perfect since he himself has bad habits, however, he genuinely cares and believes in his friends.
12. Panda (Shirokuma Café)
If you are an animal lover, then Shirokuma Café is the one for you. Panda is one of the kawaii characters appearing in this series. Unlike other anime animals on this list, Panda lives with his true and natural instinct: he is lazy, he loves lying around all day without doing anything, except for eating bamboo sticks. However, his cuteness is enough for him to be one of the best animal characters. Panda being ordinary is actually what makes him really special.
13. Ein (Cowboy Bebop)
Ein (short for Einstein) is definitely one of the smartest animal characters on this list. Outside, he is just a normal Pembroke Welsh Corgi; but inside, he is an exceptionally intelligent "data dog" who is capable of doing specialized tasks such as hacking into complex systems, communicating with other animals, or even driving cars...etc. His badassery and his kawaii appearance easily make him not only a beloved anime animal but also one of the most favorite anime characters.
14. Guts (Kill La Kill) - one of the most kawaii anime animals
Another not - so - special animal character on this list. Basically, he is just a pet pug of the Mankanshoku family with no unique ability or power, however, it's his kawaii appearance that makes him a beloved anime animal. His name - Guts, is a pun from his eating habit as Mataro mentioned "He eats with a lot of gusto". Guts is seen wearing a small hoodie all the time, covering his ears and his laughable face. He is also capable of standing on his two legs and walking like a normal person.
15. Catbus (My Neighbor Totoro)
We all know that the world in My Neighbor Totoro is full of kawaii anime animals. Besides Big Totoro, we have Catbus - a really special creature. Yes, he looks like a cat but he is also a bus, which makes him weirdly kawaii. He has an orange fur with a fluffy tail, he also has multiple legs to walk, run and even fly. His eyes are used as headlights to help him move in the dark. Catbus plays a crucial role when Mei goes missing and thanks to him, the others are able to achieve their goals.
16. Tony Tony Chopper (One Piece)
Tony Tony Chopper, or you can call him by the name "Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper, is a cute anime animal from the popular series "One Piece". His kawaii name and appearance seem not to fit into a pirate ship, however, no one can replace his role in the Straw Hat Pirates as a dedicated and skilled doctor. His unique look is due to a Devil Fruit named "Hito Hito no Mi", which allows him to turn into a reindeer/human hybrid. This weird combination surprisingly helps Tony Tony Chopper to be one of the most kawaii anime animals ever.
