What anime character would you want to be president?

The title says it all. Tell us who from the world of anime, manga, or video games you would want to run for president. Here's my top three:

3. Alucard (Hellsing)
2. Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
1. L (Death Note)

None. They have very little concept of the real world, very little political experience (most of them), etc.

If I have to choose (From what I know):

1) Mao (Cowboy Bebop): He at least has SOME sort of diplomatic skills, experience, etc.

That's all I can think of, right now. Not a big anime fan, and most of what I do like is so horribly ill prepared for politics in a modern world it isn't even funny.

What we need is a genius, not a politician. The only man who can run this country, get us out of economic crisis, and find the terrorists at the same time is none other than L.

Or a team of geniuses. L, Monk, and Deep Thought. I know Deep Thought is a computer. This is why he was chosen for this mission: works well under stress. Stress caused by L and Monk.

L cannot be president due to age requirements. If he lived old enough to become such, maybe. Though I don't feel right nominating a person from a world of paranormal activities.

L didn't even know his world had shinnigami until he faced Kira and touched the Death Note. I'm sure our world would seem much more sane to him if he had lived through DN. And besides age, he would probably lose because of his dissheveled appearance and strange mannerisms. He wouldn't win a popular vote, but might be able to make some true sense to people without avoiding the issue.

Sephiroth is already working at McDonalds, so sorry.

I'd totally vote Sephiroth, though once he finds his badassness again.

Seres Victoria......id vote for that

I'd vote for Giovanni from Pokemon. Despite the millions he's lost from a certain bumbling trio, and the money he lost creating Mewtwo, he's still a major threat to all involved. He knows how to make up for lost funds, which the country really needs. Instead of other anime villains, he has a sense of future, and if he wasn't evil, he'd be a really great asset to the world.

Other than that, I couldn't think of anybody else.

Well to replace our current president, even a mudkip would do the trick I think ...

Mao was pretty good...

Only problem being that he couldn't see Vicious' betrayal up until the sword was literally at his throat.

Though Giovanni is a very good suggestion. Put him right up there with Mao (If not slightly ahead for the reasons you stated).

Tetsuo Shima. He's got experience.

I'd really like to see any ideas you'd have for campaign advertisements for these characters.

I say Light from Death Note, I doubt I need to explain why.

Well, I will say this for Light, he'd obviously win in a landslide.

Do we have to choose Anime characters?

No. You can choose video game or movie characters as well.

In that case, I choose the Shaman from Populous 2. Sure, she can be an imperious, commanding @*#$% at times, but she's got leadership experience and she can raise volcanoes, sink land beneath the sea, and call down tornadoes, among other miracles. If you're lucky, she might ask you to train as a Fire Warrior, too. Who doesn't love the idea of being able to pitch fireballs from your hands at people you hate at will?

Not only that, she doesn't too much if most of her population stays at home, eating, sleeping, and breeding... it gives her more power. I'm serious.

I think the same goes for Bush, lol.

Wait, nevermind! I've found the Ultimate President of The United States right here.

You can bet I'll vote for that president. Let's just say he speaks my language, if you get my drift.
