Lots of anime and game characters have an official birthday, usually revealed in a databook, a fanbook or a character profile. Fans celebrate them with art, cakes and trending hashtags, and some studios post birthday illustrations on the day. This page collects those dates for the casts we cover, so you can see who was born today, find your own birthday twin, or plan ahead for a favourite.
The box below updates automatically with anyone born today and anyone coming up in the next week. Underneath, every birthday is listed month by month. We only include dates the creators have actually confirmed. If a character isn't here, it's usually because no official birthday exists.

How we check these birthdays
Character birthdays spread fast online, and so do mistakes. Two characters with similar names get swapped, or a fan's headcanon date ends up on a wiki and gets copied everywhere. Before a date goes on this page, it needs an official source:
- Databooks and fanbooks. Most shonen birthdays come from official guidebooks, such as the Demon Slayer fanbooks, the Haikyuu!! character guides or the Naruto Hiden books.
- Creator Q&As. Eiichiro Oda gave out most One Piece birthdays in the SBS question columns at the back of the volumes.
- In-game profiles. Genshin Impact shows each character's birthday on their profile and sends an in-game letter on the day.
- Official brand pages. Sanrio and Disney publish birthdays for their characters, usually tied to a debut date.
Some popular casts, such as Dragon Ball and most Western cartoons, never received official birthdays, so they aren't listed. We'd rather leave a gap than print a guess. For more facts about the characters themselves, browse our anime guides, test yourself with our character quizzes, or see who ranks where in our tier lists.
Frequently asked questions
When is Luffy's birthday?
Monkey D. Luffy's birthday is May 5. Oda picked it because May 5 is Children's Day in Japan, which suits a hero who never really grew up. Gon Freecss from Hunter x Hunter shares the date.
Which anime characters have a birthday on May 5?
Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece), Gon Freecss (Hunter x Hunter) and the Nakano quintuplets, including Ichika, from The Quintessential Quintuplets. Children's Day makes it a popular choice for energetic, youthful leads.
When is Naruto's birthday?
October 10. Gintoki Sakata from Gintama and Yu Nishinoya from Haikyuu!! were born the same day. It's also the day the Nine-Tails attacked the Leaf, which is why Naruto's birthday is bittersweet in the story.
When is Gojo's birthday?
Satoru Gojo was born on December 7. His Jujutsu Kaisen students Megumi Fushiguro (December 22) and Yuji Itadori (March 20) are listed on this page too.
Why do so many anime characters share birthdays with holidays?
Creators often pick dates with a meaning: Children's Day for Luffy, Christmas for Levi and Misa Amane, Halloween for L, Tengen Uzui and Kuromi. Others are wordplay: Usopp, the liar, was born on April Fools' Day.
Where do these birthdays come from?
We only list birthdays stated by the creator or the official publisher, usually in a databook, fanbook, profile page or in-game character card. Fan-assigned dates and guesses are left out, which is why some popular characters, like most of Dragon Ball, aren't here.
