12 Anime Characters Who Have A Look-Alike In Another Show

Anime characters come in all shapes and sizes, showing off the huge imagination of their creators. But sometimes, by pure chance, two characters from different anime look almost exactly the same. It’s not about someone copying; it’s just a surprising coincidence.

Thinking about how big the world of anime is, it’s pretty wild to see two characters that look like twins. It’s not fair to blame the creators for this – it’s just one of those things that happen!

In this article, we’ve picked out twelve characters from various anime who have a look-alike in another show.

12. Yami & Eve

“Yami” is a supporting character, whereas “Eve” is the main protagonist of her story. Both of the anime series these characters belong to were created by the same mangaka named “Yabuki Kentarou.”

So, this makes it evident that these two are connected. Yami and Eve are artificially synthesized humans, each having no emotions. They also share the same voice actors, which is not a coincidence.

“To Lov Ru” and “Black Cat” are parallel universes, which means Eve is Yami but in a more laid-back world. So, it can be said that these two series are connected.

Not to mention the same character designs of both characters.
