Here are a few of the characters that I find interesting. If you've watched the series, you know what I'm talking about.
Light Yagami / Kira - The human who picked up the Death Note that the death god, Ryuuk, dropped. Light was a very intelligent young man. Before he picked up the Death Note, he lead a very normal life; home, school, then home again. The Death Note awakened his desire to rid the world of all evil. With his use of the Death Note, the world's (especially Japan's) crime rate dropped. The world named him, Kira. His real identity, a secret. As time passed, he viewed himself as a god, able to choose who dies and who lives. But of course, no good deed goes unpunished. He is then hunted down by the Japanese police, Interpol, and FBI for many years. In the end, Ryuuk wrote Light's name on the Death Note.
Lelouch Lamperouge / Zero - He has the Geass that can order anyone to do anything; even to kill themselves. Lelouch was a very intelligent high school student. However, for the longest time, had a grudge against the Britanian Empire. When he was able to acquire his Geass and learned what it could do, he decided that it was time to take revenge. He wore a mask and called himself, Zero. With his new found power, he was able to take a ragtag band of rebels and turn them into the biggest threat of the empire. He used his Geass on almost everyone until he lost control of it. Even without the Geass, he used his charm to manipulate people and take him to his side. After some time, he was able to take over the empire and he seemingly ruled the world with an iron fist, much worse than the emperor that he overthrew. People hated him. But he planned it all. He sacrificed himself so the world may have lasting peace.
Izaya Orihara / Kanra - The information dealer of Ikebukuro. He knows almost everything in his territory from the smallest secret to the largest scandal. He has no super powers at all. However, with his intelligence, he manipulates events in the shadows as if he were the director of the lives of everyone else. People who know the name Izaya Orihara knows that he is not the man you would want to make an enemy of (at least one of the two men you wouldn't want to make an enemy of). Information is power.
Shikamaru Nara - He is a ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village and the only Genin in their batch to pass the Chuunin exam (in fact the only Genin who passed the Chuunin exam at that time since some of them are repeat takers). His is an expert in shadow manipulation techniques and an expert strategist. His mentor and leader of their team cannot beat him at board games such as Shogi or Go. He can even think of strategies in the heat of battle and they are usually very effective. However, he has an easy going nature and is very lazy. He views everything that involves physical or intellectual exertion as a drag or a bother.
Souji Tendou / Kamen Rider Kabuto - (As you've noticed, he's the only one who's not from the manga/anime genre. Souji's character is played by Hiro Mizushima.) The man who walks the path of heaven. The man who shall rule over everything. Since Souji was seven years old, he trained and waited for the day of his destiny. For him, he knew that he was not just destined but was born for the moment to become Kabuto. Every time he defeats an enemy, he does his signature pose; pointing towards heaven. He is also known to always quote his grandma; "Grandma said this…" People knew him as egotistic, and rude. He eliminate all that gets in his way of his goal; to protect his sister.There are other characters that used their brains or as full of angst. However, what sets apart the ones mentioned above is their certain mix of brains and angst, which makes them stand out like a sore thumb (at least for me). Among them are Hiro Yui (Mobile Suite Gundam Wing), Tsukasa Kadoya (Kamen Rider Decade), Kurama (YuYu Hakusho), Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z), Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach), and Kyoya Hibari (Katekyo Hitman, Reborn!) to name a few.
