It can be based on what you fee. So it's just your opinion.
So, what Anime Characters that have most significantly impacted the anime culture, according to you?

 

[Grungie]

I guess any character where characters either directly reference them, or are basically “ripoffs” of the character.

Lum from Urusei Yatsura gets referenced a lot, or has characters that the authors say are ripoffs like Lala Deviluke.

 

[VirusZero]

Goku from DragonBall (Z / Super).

So many other anime copy it to a degree.

Like this anime:

 

[Demon_Skeith]

Pokemon is very iconic.
