->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MiyuIrino as an adult and Creator/RyokaYuzuki as a child (Japanese), Creator/MicahSolusod as an adult and Apphia Yu as a child (English)
The main protagonist and titular character of ''Anime/CodeGeassAkitoTheExiled''. He's a member of the special unit W-0 (Wyvern Squad) of the Europia United army. After a disastrous first operation he's left as the sole survivor of the unit's initial batch of Japanese pilots. Quiet and reserved, he's an incredibly skilled combatant whose prowess in battle earns him the nickname "Ghost of Hannibal" from the Euro-Britannia army. He also serves as Leila Malcal's bodyguard and even gives her advice at times.

The ex-commanding officer of W-0, who also happens to be racist. Gets replaced by Leila in the first OVA episode.
----
* ArmchairMilitary: Anou acts like this for the few minutes he's on screen, and gets called on it by Leila due to him ordering the W-0 unit to self-destruct in order to take out enemy Knightmares when it would serve no practical purpose.
* BadBoss: Anou sees the Eleven as expendable soldiers and threatens Leila with a gun.
* BeardOfEvil: Not exactly evil, but he has a goatee and is a total asshat.
* EvilIsPetty: Leaves the W-0 Unit on the streets of a foreign city out of nothing but spite for having him removed from command.
* FrenchJerk: Has a very french-sounding name and he's a total jackass.
* HateSink: Only exists to show the callousness the European Union's army has towards Elevens and how they're NotSoDifferent from Britannia. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} by the end, as he's shown to have joined the gypsy group alongside the Wyvern Squad and Asura Strike Force, and appears to be fully considered part of the group now that he's humbled himself.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: Deletes W-0's credentials from the EU Army's database and leaves them on the street, only for Yukiya to do the exact same thing to him some time later.
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: [[spoiler:When he's shown in the end with the gypsies, he's shown to have been humbled somewhat after being forced to do work for them, and the animosity he had for the Wyvern Squad appears to be gone.]]

* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:He made a deal with Shin's Euro-Britannia by allowing them to attack W-0's headquarters, all so he can make Leila into a martyr.]]
* DistressedDude: Briefly in Episode 1 as he ends up on the receiving end of a kidnapping attempt by Ryo's group.
* KnightInSourArmor: Is unhappy with the EU's corrupt elite, but still believes in its revolutionary ideals. [[spoiler:In truth however he just wants to become its emperor.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:He's manipulated Leila and the youth of the military into believing he's a just man. He was able to convince the youth to initiate a coup by deceiving them into believing he's doing it for the sake of the Union and its people.

* NiceHat: Wears one when heading an operation himself.
* NonActionGuy: Is not seen directly fighting.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Doesn't object to Leila's unconventional efforts to try and make things better. [[spoiler:He's just pretending to be one to get the youth and Leila on his side.]]

[[spoiler:This connection would never be revealed however, as the Caretaker teleports Ashley and the Asura unit to Smilas' location, allowing Ashley to kill him before he can reveal his connection.]]
