22+ Anime Characters Who’d Use Dating Apps Like Tinder

Dating apps like Tinder are used by millions of people in the Western world. And it goes beyond that.

But if we stopped for a moment and thought about what it would look like for anime characters to use dating apps, what would be the outcome?

• What would the apps be?
• How would they use it?
• How would they text? (or sext)
• How would they flirt, communicate, and so on?

Let’s talk about it!

Here’s a list of anime characters who’d use dating apps.

 

1. Eleonora (Villainess Level 99)

The thought of this girl using dating apps is a funny one. She’s the type of girl who is kind and gentle, naive but well-intentioned and even a bit simple-minded (in a good way).

When it comes to romance she’d use dating apps like Tinder to find it, only to be disappointed with what she finds on there.

Either way, she’d still participate in the hopes of finding love or her wholesome idea of it.

 

2. Margery Daw (Shakugan No Shana)

Margery Daw is a classy woman who dresses in a way that matches. But her mouth isn’t what you’d call classy.

She’s a scorned woman who went through the worst and it shows in her attitude at times. But in a technologically driven world, she’d use dating apps to seek out romance, and she wouldn’t choose just anyone either since she can see bullshit from afar.

 

3. Natsumi Tsujimoto (You’re Under Arrest)

Natsumi Tsujimoto is the martial artist of the anime released back in the 1990s. She can take down capable guys as a policewoman because of her skills.

Being the kind of person she is, dating apps would be a thing to use if it meant seeking out a partner. And similar to Margery Daw, she’d have a hard time finding the right person.

She prefers “natural” encounters.

 

4. Mami Chan (Rent A Girlfriend)

Mami Nanami or Mami Chan is the evil woman of the Rent a Girlfriend series, or that’s how she was portrayed in the early stages.

She breaks up with Kazuya, and does it so callously that it’s almost cruel. And then she fucks off to wherever she goes and he’s left weeping like his life is over.

Mami is devious, jealous, selfish, and controlling. Regardless, she’d use dating apps to seek out guys but not for anything serious.

Her intentions may even be nefarious.

 

5. Ataru Moroboshi (Urusei Yatsura)

A parody series no less, but Ataru is the OG when it comes to characters who “fiend” over the opposite sex and can’t keep their pants on so to speak.

He’d be using dating apps like it was going out of style. Matching as many girls as he can that he finds attractive, only to be disappointed either by their one-word replies or the aftermath of meeting them.

Not because he’d be a “catch”, but because he’s an idiot, which is par for the course I guess.

 

6. Rika Kawai (Wonder Egg Priority)

An older Rika Kawai can be imagined to be using dating apps at some point to seek out romance. Even though her being who she is, she’d be better off finding it the more organic way outdoors and in person.

She has a bright personality, which overshadows her home life which is anything but bright. Her fashion sense might be the best out of the 4 female characters.

 

7. Satou Matsuzaka (Happy Sugar Life)

Satou is known for “messing around” with guys in the anime, whatever that actually means since it’s not explained. But this changes once she discovers Shio Kobe, a little girl who she finds abandoned in the street and decides to take her in.

That aside, in normal circumstances, Satou would be using dating apps to meet men and seek out romance, especially being the popular girl that she is who everyone believes is pretty (girls included).

 

8. Hinata Hyuga (Naruto)

When it comes to dating apps, many introverts prefer it over meeting in person and striking up a conversation because they’re the shy types who lack confidence.

The early Hinata would prioritize dating apps or social media in general since it would allow her to have deep conversations and understand the person ahead of time (whether that would be effective or not).

 

9. Kyoko (Full Metal Panic)

Kyoko from FMP is a pretty friend of Kaname Chidori who wears glasses. They seem to be fake glasses.

Her personality is angelic, and kindness is a natural part of who she is. She’d express this on dating apps as she got older, and would quickly learn the darker side of how dating apps can be.

She’d probably take another route rather than beating a dead horse with a baseball bat.

 

10. Nobara Kugisaki (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Nobara is the cool girl, knows how to dress, is chilled, laid back, funny when she needs to be, and will set boundaries to let people know they can’t take the piss.

She’s a rounded female character in this way, and strong too (inner strength).

At some point when the interest strikes, dating apps would be on her radar. But she may or may not grow tired of it depending on her results.

 

11. Sayaka Miki (Madoka Magica)

Sayaka is the talkative friend of Madoka Kaname and the one who is more extroverted than other magical girls in the series.

She’s confident, and even when she’s nervous or feeling insecure, she’s good at summoning up the courage to express herself and speak her mind.

While she would use dating apps, she has the personality that would help her seek out romance both offline and online.

 

12. Ruiko Saten (Railgun)

Ruiko is more in tune with things like tech, apps, the world at large, and so-called “cool” things that are happening right now than her other friends in Railgun.

This is how she ends up in all sorts of bad situations at times because her mind runs and doesn’t know when to stop.

So she’d know about dating apps (an older version of Ruiko) and would give it a go as that’s just how she is as a person.

 

13. Yunyun (Konosuba)

Yunyun is clearly the shier one between not just her and Megumin, but all the other crimson mages. Dating apps would be like a gift from above for Yunyun.

How she’d navigate these dating apps and how she’d go about seeking out romance when that time hits is anyone’s guess. But she would be naive and too kind in a lot of cases.

 

14. Lisbeth (SAO)

Lisbeth in the Sword Art Online series might not get the most air time but it’s clear she’s in tune with what’s going on. And she has a fair bit of smarts.

She’s entertaining, and fun, and would bring those elements to dating apps like Tinder but with her level of standards, she’d end up disappointed since she’s not naive, desperate, or foolish.

 

15. Fuuko Izumo (Undead Unluck)

Fuuko’s head is buried in her manga, and of course, in a world where smartphones exist and apps of all kinds, she’d have her head buried in that as well.

This is assuming Andy was never around, or it was prior to meeting him.

Dating apps would be the obvious choice for Fuuko, but she’d be frustrated after trial and error because she’s too pure.

 

16. Lisanna Strauss (Fairy Tail)

Lisanna Strauss is such a nice character from Fairy Tail, a lot like her sister but different. She was originally the choice for Natsu, but the story changed and Lucy is now the focus of that relationship.

She isn’t the star of Fairy Tail in any way, but as we see from her personality she’d be able to seek out and pick the right person for her, even if it was through the means of dating apps.

That is assuming she could find anyone given the nature of dating apps.

 

17. Mineta (My Hero Academia)

Kyoka Jiro would also use dating apps, and the idea of Bakugo using them is too comical.

Mineta on the other hand is such a horny bastard who has no boundaries that he’d jump at the chance to try dating apps if it existed in MHA.

Of course, Mineta is the type of guy who wouldn’t stand a chance in the world of dating apps because of how he is.

Even if he crafted his personality a certain way, the truth would reveal itself later on.

 

18. Beta (The Eminence In Shadow)

Beta strikes me as the elf girl from The Eminence In Shadow who would at least try this out. Even if it was only for a mission or some greater cause for Shadow Garden.

She’s smart, intelligent, observant, likes to study a lot, can see things others can’t, and of course, she has her “naughtier” side being a masochist.

We can see where that would go, but then again she’s fully devoted to Cid Kagenou.

 

19. Yumechi (Akiba Maid War)

Yumechi is the cute maid from the Oinky Doink cafe. She’s one of the most savage of the maids despite her appearance, and when it comes down to business she’ll pull the trigger.

Gangster shit aside, if Yumechi came to the point of dating, then dating apps would suit her. And given how appealing she is, it would be easy to get the date train rolling.

 

20. Maron (Dragon Ball Z)

Maron is the girl Krillin was dating for a short while. She used to chill with Krillin while at Master Roshi’s island.

She’s not shy in the slightest about loving on her partner and is so absent-minded that she wouldn’t care what others thought of her.

Having the typical mindset of this type of woman, dating apps would obviously be the way for her to meet guys and she wouldn’t struggle at all.

 

21. Iris (Violet Evergarden)

Iris is one of the many gorgeous characters from Violet Evergarden and one with a darker skin tone.

She’s a bit of a Tsundere in the beginning, but only in a friendship sense. She’s somewhat shy in the realm of romance, and this was shown when how she felt was revealed by Violet (which made her angry).

All that aside, if the world they live in had apps and smartphones, she’d use them to date but nothing too serious I don’t imagine.

 

22. Kana (Oshi No Ko)

Kana is an obvious choice from Oshi No Ko. She’s the kind of girl who once a guy complements her, she becomes immediately interested and can’t help herself.

She’s naive in this way, and it shows in her relationship with Aqua somewhat.

Dating apps wouldn’t be an issue for Kana, and while she’d have a lot of dates, she’d probably get tired of it at some point or doubtful that it’s worthwhile.

–

In the end, there are plenty of male and female characters who would use dating apps like Tinder. These are only a small portion of those characters.
