Top 10 Twin Characters In Anime

In the world of anime and manga, there is always at least one or should I say two-character tropes that will stand out because of their very peculiar traits. As it happens, those also tend to have fascinating background stories and distinctive personalities, which makes them so captivating. And such a well-worn trope is Twins.

Twins in anime are always known as an excellent duo for one odd factーthey can rely on each other and always have each others’ backs. And this dependence leads them to try and connect physically and mentally whenever possible. Creators like to use Twins as supporting or sometimes even as main characters due to the ease of using the bond Twins share.

In anime, twins can share similar choices or even say similar things, but they are two completely different people like any other siblings. But whatever anyone says, twins seem to fit surprisingly well in anime. And unlike live-action movies, anime freely explore the twin’s trope possibilities without holding back. So here’s our list of best twin characters in anime.
