What Does Waifu Mean?
Waifu refers to an anime, manga, or video game character that someone has romantic feelings for. The origin of the word waifu comes from a Japanese twist on the English word “wife.” Think of it as an English loanword!
Many younger Japanese generations began to refute the traditional meanings of words that were commonly used to speak about wives or husbands. These couples began latching onto the English words husband and wife instead, creating the terms “waifu” and “husbando,” the male waifu equivalent.
When you’re saying that a character is “waifu,” you can think of it as similar to having a celebrity crush or a K-pop bias.
What Makes an Anime Character Waifu Material?
A waifu is wife material, no doubt about it. Still, what makes a character worthy of being waifu often comes down to personal preference! There are some all-encompassing factors that fandoms take into account when determining what anime characters are waifu.
Cuteness and being kawaii are big parts of embodying waifu traits. As far as physical attributes are concerned, this often amounts to big eyes, a high-pitched voice, and adorable clothes. (Examples of clothes and accessories that can give you that kawaii waifu factor can be found in our article Kawaii Aesthetic: How to Perfect the Style.)
Okay, but what about the personality traits of a waifu anime character? Many waifus are kind, cheerful, loyal, understanding, and put emphasis on justice. This makes total sense when you think about it! After all, waifus are supposed to be wife material. Fans gravitate towards these uplifting traits as someone they would want to be around in real life.

Waifu Character Cosplay Ideas
There are so many anime characters that fans regard as waifu material. Here are some of our favorite waifus:
1. Mutsumi Otohime From Love Hina
Mutsumi is super sweet and resilient, making her one of the Love Hina fandom’s most beloved waifu figures. The fact that she adores watermelons is just another part of what makes her so cute!
2. Chizuru Ichinose From Rent-a-Girlfriend
A constant personality trait that is often seen with anime characters that are waifus is sassiness. At first, Chizuru is a sweetheart. While she retains that quality deep down, she can sometimes come across as sassy and cunning. We stan a waifu with a sharp streak!
3. Megumi Sakura From Gakkou Gurashi
People really gravitate towards waifus who are endearing. Megumi is a bit clumsy and almost too sweet — all of her students at Megurigaoka Private High School love and respect her. Her hair color even matches the pink accents on our Manga Noises One Piece Swimsuit.
4. Yuzuki Hanyu From World’s End Harem
Everyone loves selfless anime waifu characters! Yuzuki is perpetually thoughtful and kind, which undoubtedly makes her excellent waifu material for fans across the globe.
5. Erza Scarlet From Fairy Tail
Powerful waifus are always intriguing. Ezra possesses a great deal of talent and mastery with the magic that she casts. The juxtaposition of her kind and caring personality against her fighting ability makes her a great example of a sexy anime waifu.
6. Margery Daw From Shakugan No Shana
Our last waifu anime character is definitely not the least. Margery Daw is a complex character that exhibits many of the waifu ideas that fans love. She is very in touch with her emotions and has been shown to be quite wise, and many fans would call Margery their waifu.

Conclusion
Sexy waifus are usually characters from video games, anime series, and manga, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be a real-life waifu! Kawaii and alluring outfits, a cheerful disposition, and sultry cosplays will have you on track for the waifu train in no time.
Feeling confident and sexy in your skin will really let your waifu energy shine. At the end of the day, waifu is both a concept and a mindset. You don’t have to be a 24/7 waifu to make magic happen. Dressing up or cosplaying as a waifu, such as Oh My Goddess!’s Belldandy, is a fun way to get into the sexy waifu spirit.
