Community Opinion: Which Anime Protagonist is Your Favorite?

Hey you! Yeah, you.  We want to know who your favorite anime characters are!  Take to the comments and tell us who your favorite anime protagonist is and why.  The genre is not important, so pick someone you're really intrigued by, care about, or wish you could hang out with, no matter what kind of anime they're from. The only rule is that they have to be a "main" character, so someone who at least has their own story arc, not the super cute background character you want to be your waifu.
