Want to dial up the cuteness factor in an anime? Just add a loli! Their designs are so unique and creative, you can only imagine that their writers and producers must have had a lot of fun designing these characters and adding cute traits and hair and eye colours. Although there is pretty much no way of ranking these loli anime characters fairly, we had a go and here are the results!
There are so many genres in anime, from shounen to mecha to ecchi and so many more. Lolis is one such cute genre loved by anime fans. Well, the literal meaning of Loli is, “little girl” and a lot of animes have lolis but there are these certain animes that are kinda based on lolis. Also, don’t worry if Google shows you a warning on searching loli since its literal meaning misleads Google.
What are Loli Anime Characters?
What is a Loli? Usually cute youthful girls in anime are called lolis, usually girls of up to 18 year olds, but occasionally beyond! It tends to be their appearance that counts. Furthermore, legal lolis are characters that look young but are over the age of 18 thus are legally adult.
Lolis are generally characters that give comedic relief, “kawaii” moments, and of course meme templates in anime. They offer an insight in to a simpler world and bring out our inner child! Here is our best loli anime list, featuring legal loli anime characters in disguise, from the youngest loli to kitsune loli characters that might be hundreds of years old, to the cutest loli characters, to anime full of lolis!

She pretends to smoke a blue and white pipe in the anime and is a girl dressed in gothic lolita style, representing her sometimes stormy temperment and role as more of a mysterious and closed book character in the anime.
36. Kinue Hayase From Masamune Kun No Revenge
Speaking of books, this anime girl is a reminder not to judge one by its cover, as Kinue Hayase is not actually a 12-year-old young anime girl but a 42 year old woman posing as one! Thus, she can be categorised as a legal loli. She still appears innocent and childlike, with her cute pale blue apron and kawaii twin tail hairstyle, even though she is Makabe’s mother! Even though technically not really a child, she is definitely one of the cutest human lolis on this list.

Clannad is a great anime and is definitely worth a watch!
30. Ikazuchi & Inazuma Twins From Kantai Collection
These two have to be ranked equally and so appear here together! They are twin sisters and both have short brown hair which is usually disheveled.
They wear cute sailor uniforms with a red neckerchief and a black short skirt. As like with many twins, they have differing personalities that contrast each other, enabling them to bounce off each other - as Ikazuchi is the outgoing twin whereas Inazuma is the shy and timid sister.
29. Miu Takanashi From Listen to Me, Girls. I Am Your Father!
The second eldest of the three sisters that protagonist Sara cares for; she is 10 years old and a fifth grader in the anime. She has blonde hair as her biological mother has a Russian lineage. She normally refers to Yūta as "uncle (Oji-san)" which is quite funny to watch. Weirdly, although she is young she has a preference for guys who are older than her and manly.

28. Raiha Uesugi From Quintessential Quintuplets
No one could do puppy eyes quite as good as Raiha! She stars in this funny anime as the 12-year-old little sister of Uesugi-san, the male protagonist of anime.

A tsundere loli anime character, Aria is the main protagonist of the titular anime, Hidan no Aria. What I like about her is her long pink hair, it’s absolutely beautiful, plus mini red horns.
She wears a schoolgirl uniform with a red tie and skirt with black thigh-length stockings.
She is only 16-years old but she has got mad combat skill and thus is an S-rank as a Butei.

Mayuka is a supporting character in RErideD and is Vidaux's daughter. She adores reading and appears with curly red hair, a loli character wearing body armor and a top hat, which she looks super kawaii in! I love her short scarlet hair, reminds me a little of a young Erza Scarlett.
25. Popura Taneshima From Working!!
Named Popura after the famous tree, in order to encourage her to grow tall, she is actually of quite short stature, a 17-year-old girl working at the Wagnaria from the anime Working!! She is very sensitive about her small appearance; many customers usually mistake her to be younger than she really is. She often fails to gain respect from Souta, who is one year younger than her, as he usually regards her as an elementary school student. She is also unable to properly call him by his surname, saying "Katanashi" rather than "Takanashi," even when corrected. She has big brown eyes and lush brown hair which she ties up in a high ponytail and wears a waitress uniform.
24. Syaro Kirima From Is the order a rabbit?
Syaro is one of the mains on the anime, Is the order a Rabbit?

Next up on the list is Akatsuki, a Kanmasu representing the twenty-first Fubuki Class Destroyer not to be confused with the ominous dark organization from Naruto.

22. Shiro From No Game No Life
You don't get Sora without Shiro behind the scenes somewhere! The younger sister of our male protagonist, she appears as a genius in the anime. Not only fiercely intelligent and the brains behind the operation, she excells at chess and is one of the most intelligent loli characters in anime as well as being obviously cute!
Her only struggle is to interpret others actions as she has a difficult time understanding and expressing emotions.
She has long bluish-white hair with a purple tinge and wears a cute dark blue sailor uniform with a yellow necker.
21. Beatrice From Re:Zero
On first sight you might just pass Beatrice off as a normal 12 year old, but she is actually an artificial spirit and is over 400 years old! Despite her adorable appearance, with pretty ringlets and blue, dewy eyes, she is kinda mean to the main character, Subaru Natsuki.

She is a 14-year-old girl that belongs to a family that is filthy rich and by filthy rich, I mean “Richie Rich” rich.

In contrast to her more timid sister, she is fiesty and headstrong in the anime and does not give in easily, though she is shown to be very sweet and supportive towards her family.
18. Yoshino From Date A Live
You would never guess Yoshino's real age as 40, but she is actually a 40 year old spirit hiding in the body of a petite 14 year old loli, with blue hair and matching blue eyes. She is far more passive than any of the other spirits in the anime and carries around her white puppet named Yoshino as her dearest friend.

The main protagonist of Girls und Panzer, as well as the tank commander of the Anglerfish Team and commander of the Oarai Girls Academy's Sensha-dō team, it's fair to say that Miho knows what she's doing! Carrying a lot of responsibility in her role as commander, Miho also has short brown hair and cute brown eyes and is always cool, calm and decisive in stressful situations pertaining to her role.
12. Illyasviel “Illya” von Einzbern From Fate/stay night
Illya is one of the most popular characters in all anime. I don’t know but something about her appearance and her personality makes her very popular among the Fate/Stay fans.

Illya has long white hair, which gives her kind of an angelic vibe. I love her outfit, the colors of royalty, purple, and white used perfectly together.

A protagonist of the Hinamatsuri series, she is from an advanced civilization with technology that allows people to travel through dimensions. She also has some incredible psychokinetic abilities and because of this was manipulated by adults in her homeworld. Arriving at Nitta’s house in a box, she couldn't have made a cooler entrance!

We have to Marvell at this adorable loli with very long purple hair and smoky brown eyes, who is actually a Sky Dragon Slayer!

She is almost always wearing her pink and white school uniform.
6. Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi From The “Hentai” Prince and the Stony Cat
Tsukiko is an extremely shy person, who is very overly conscious of herself, not helped by the fact that she somehow loses her ability to make facial expressions because of the infamous, “Stony Cat”. It is often hinted that she has feelings for Yōto, but cannot express them since she has lost the ability due to the Stony Cat. She is a 15-year-old loli from “Hentai” Prince and the Stony Cat anime with huge blue eyes and short dark hair styled in a cute way with a bow clip. She is just iconic and so memorable. She is so cute she managed to make it to number 6 despite not being able to make any facial expressions!
5. Tatsumaki Tornado From One Punch Man
Tatsumaki is actually a legal loli, in that she may look like a child but is actually a 28 year old kickass recognized S-rank hero in One Punch Man. Even though she’s 28-years old she is always mistaken for a young girl.
She carries hardcore witch vibes thanks to her Medusa-like green hair and black coat that splits up near the end into several limbs. She has pale blue eyes and is definitely a unique 'loli' anime character that is pretty iconic in her own right!
4. Rika Furude From When They Cry
Another technically adult 'loli' is Rika Farude, the main protagonist of Higurashi: When They Cry. She is a 13-year-old petite loli with long indigo blue locks and a full fringe.

2. Azusa “Azu-nyan” Nakano From K-On!
Azusa is the guitarist of the band and might just be one of the cutest anime characters ever! One of the five main protagonists from K-ON! Azusa might be considered to be a tsundere since she tries to hide her feelings for Yui with shyness and gets embarrassed and flustered easily. She has long black hair tied in twin tails and is a cute petite loli with brown eyes, who hates being on her own and can't stand being lonely, as shown in the anime when at the graduation of the original club members, she begged them under tears to not graduate before her since she didn't want to be lonely.
1. Yui From Sword Art Online
Yui was bound to come first on this list! Not only does she have a pixie form (adorable), she is ridiculously cute in her white dress and cute little brown boots. With long, dark hair and bright black eyes, she is a top-down Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that was originally developed by Argus to address player mental health concerns in Sword Art Online (SAO). However, when Kayaba Akihiko turned Sword Art Online into a death game, Yui was forbidden from interfering with players whatsoever by the Cardinal System. In the anime Yui is generally a cheerful girl with pale white skin and long black hair. Yui’s appearance comes as a mystery, thus Kirito and Asuna help her find her friends and family.
Yui and her cute smile definitely deserve the second stop on this list. And for her pixie form, you can't get more petite and cute than ten centimetres tall!
