Year of the Tiger: Anime Style

[nebs66]

In the Chinese Zodiac, 2010 is the year of the tiger. To celebrate, Gigazine has listed 15 tiger-related characters from the world of anime. Most notable, at least in my opinion, is Taiga from ToraDora (& the sheer amount of Taiga New Year's fanart I've seen this past week seems to testify that I'm far from being the only one), the Handheld Tiger & winner of Saimoe 2009. Here's who they listed, in seemingly no particular order:

• Tiger Mask (Tiger Mask)
• Tora (Ushio & Tora)
• Captain Yellow (DragonBall)
• Tsukutsun Tsun (Dr Slump)
• Byakko (YuYu Hakusho)
• Andrew Waltfeld (Gundam Seed)
• Torajiro (Shima Shima Tora no Shimajiro)
• Tama the White Tiger (Hayate the Combat Butler)
• Mukkuru (Utawarerumono)
• Taiga Aisaka (ToraDora)
• Torako Kageyama (Hyakko)
• Kisa Sohma (Fruits Basket)
• Harakiri Tora (Kampfer)
• TigerRanger (Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger)
• Go Takigawa (Tetsujin Tiger Seven)
