I know what you’re going to say now: Oh, no, another typical top 5. Well, sorry to disappoint you, as always, your very own Shinigami will not be typical nor boring. This will not be a classic top 5 of handsome male Chinese characters or most terrifying Chinese characters neither will it be a sexiest top 5 female Chinese characters in anime.
