Anime/manga characters you think will suit vkei fashion/theme

While watching/reading anime or manga, have you ever see a character and be like ‘hey, I think he/she will really suit vkei fashion/themes’.

For me, it was Kurama from Kamisama Kiss. He’s vv pretty in the manga (❁´▽`❁)✲ﾟ

Rui from Demon Slayer is definitely an anime version of Ruki (the GazettE).

Fueta Makoto or Mako-chan from Kamisama, Kisama wo Koroshitai.
He always reminded me of Yoshiatsu from Dadaroma.

Any Ai Yazawa’s character. Especially Shin from Nana, they even mention how the media perceives them a vk band

Basically every character in The Tarot Cafe, but especially Belus.

Oh, and the hot dragon guy whose name I can’t remember:

I think Kurama was supposed to be a vk parody though. I am more surprised that NANA characters were supposed to be in a vk band too! I wouldn’t have guessed.

IIRC Kaori Yuki (of Angel Sanctuary and Count Cain fame) was a BUCK-TICK fan and Cain was inspired by Sakurai lol.

Also I really like TOWA from Kaikan Phrase who was supposedly in a vk band before joining Aucifer.

Speaking of Kaikan Phrase, Kaikan Climax (the mobage I kept raving about lol) has a few rock bands that could arguably be interpreted as vk too.

Recently I read an interesting BL manga that featured indie rock bands, and at some point I thought “oh this is vk-like” too bad I forgot its title already. It could’ve been The End of Youth but I am not sure.

Edit:
So these days (…month?) I’ve been listening to songs I liked in the past, which led to me remembering I actually liked Showtaro Morikubo’s songs but I haven’t heard any newer songs of his other than well, Utapri songs I had to listen to while playing Shining Live… Which brought me to another sudden realization: QUARTET NIGHT actually had potential.

I mean Show is like this :

And Tattsun is like this :

And Shoutan is like (actually this but):

technically we could’ve gotten a dope vk band with hype songs but all we got was QUARTET NIGHT :

I mean… dude… what … it’s such… a disappointment to think that Utapri could probably have a villain-y vk band with good songs but this is cheesier than queen Maji Love 1000% and not in a good way. (“they can’t play instruments!” if GB can’t play instruments and are still a popular vk act why should I care.)

Those were some thoughts by yours truly resident 腐女子 Rahzel (… also I just remembered why I don’t listen to Japanese music often while I’m working. I am being so unproductive )

Anything from Kaori Yuki, definitely. I mean, Hakuei from PENICILLIN was literally the prototype for Ludwig from Ludwig Kakumei.

Also, Kaori Yuki used to have plenty of vk musicians as a reference for her works back in the day. Some of the examples i managed to find:

Sure! I’m crazy about Kaori Yuki’s work, absolutely the best.
Also, in this case I think Agematsu’s project Visual Prison is quite promising and the characters pretty (can’t think of anything more enticing than mixing anime, vkei and vampires).
