Four Temperament Ensemble / Anime & Manga

Go To

  • Aggretsuko: Retsuko’s friends exhibit examples of each temperament while Retsuko herself exhibits an eclectic temperament, being mature and friendly, but with a lot of pent up stress that she creatively vents out through death metal.
    • Gori (Sanguine) is cheerful, outgoing, and easily excitable.
    • Washimi (Choleric) is strong-willed, adept, and unwavering in her work.
    • Haida (Melancholic) is intelligent and caring, but can be hard on himself.

  • The four protagonists of The Anthem of the Heart, which is even lampshaded within the film. Natsuki is sanguine. She's the friendly, hardworking cheer captain of the team. She's accommodating, but can give in to peer pressure. Daiki is choleric. He's a passionate and hardworking leader but can be demanding and rude. Takumi is melancholic. He's introverted, avoids talking about his feelings, and is seemingly apathetic, but is considerate, decisive, and sensitive. Jun is phlegmatic. She's self-deprecating and passive to the point of having debilitating anxiety, but is compassionate and kind.
  • Azumanga Daioh:

    • Abigail, the reclusive and devious, is Phlegmatic.
    • Gara, who's hotheaded and outgoing, is Sanguine.
  • Although everyone in Big Windup! gets his/her turn to shine, the story tends to focus on four core members of the baseball team:

    • Sociopathic Hero Revy (very choleric), Wide-Eyed Idealist Rock (melancholic), Bald of Authority Dutch (phlegmatic), and Mission Control Benny (sanguine).
    • The four most feared women within the series:
      • Revy (Choleric): Easily the most vile and foul-mouthed of the four, disregarding anybody (and anything) that dares to piss her off.
      • Balalaika (Melancholic): Analytical and resourceful when getting information, rather its through her men or destructive means.
      • Roberta (Phlegmatic): A seemingly humble and gentle maid, who disguises her unstoppable killer intent with conviction and modesty.

    • Kita is sanguine — extroverted, cheerful, friendly, kind, extremely energetic and, while Book Smart, somewhat scatterbrained about certain topics;
    • Nijika is eclectic — mostly sanguine actually, but while outgoing and cheerful, she also has phlegmatic traist in being incredibly kind, gentle and accommodating, and more levelheaded than the others.

    • Again, the four class presidents are a good fit as with the four philosophies: A-class Katsuragi is Phlegmatic (calm, serious and The Quiet One), B-class Ichinose is Sanguine (cheerful, helpful and sweet Nice Girl), C-class Ryuuen is Choleric (aggressive, vicious and sadistic), and D-class Horikita is the Melancholic Ice Queen once again.
  • Cowboy Bebop has the crew of the titular Bebop: Laid back but intense Spike is the Melancholic, fiery and passionate Faye is the Choleric, high-strung but analytical Jet is the Phlegmatic, space-case Ed is the Sanguine and neutral Ein is the Supine.

      • Sanguine: The Butterfly Assistants (Sumi Nakahara, Kiyo Terauchi, and Naho Takada) — Each as cute, girlie and supportive as the other. Always willing to aid visitors, and even train them back to health. Although they are still very young, and thus very sensitive with little tolerance towards being abused/or manhandled.

  • Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?

    • There's also the male chosen children from the first series.
      • Taichi Yagami/Tai Kamiya (Choleric): Hot-Blooded leader who starts being reckless and is quick to action. Very task oriented to a fault, he mellows out over time and becomes much more tactical and sensitive, but still remains the first one to take action when needed.
      • Yamato Ishida/Matt Ishida (Phlegmatic): Brooding big brother, much more concerned about the group's stability and can be overprotective at times. Constantly butts heads with Tai because of their different approaches, but over time becomes a firm friend and ally to him as well as the rest of the team.
      • Koushiro Izumi/Izzy Izumi (Melancholic): Introverted Smart Guy of the group. He's the one who understands the computational work of the digiworld and is very academical. While he's often absentminded in his computer, he usually brings the required exposition to help out the rest of the kids.
      • Takeru Takaishi/T.K. Takaishi (Sanguine): Tagalong Kid who's very emotional because of his age. He's very nice and easigoing but also Prone to Tears. Nonetheless, he's very optimistic and would prove his worth over time.
      • Joe Kido (Eclectic): Neurotic Team Dad of the team who nonetheless always do his best to help the group. Easily the most responsible thanks to being the eldest child.

      • Joseph Joestar: The eclectic. Has mellowed out considerably since Battle Tendency, making him more balanced in comparison to his grandson and the rest of the group.
      • Jotaro Kujo: The choleric. The unemotional, violent delinquent.
      • Noriaki Kakyoin: The phlegmatic. The moral, polite heart of the five.

    • The antagonists of the pre-Steel Ball Run universe:

      • Kars: The eclectic. Never has one aspect that defines him as a whole, as while his backstory and motivations incite a sense of anger and melancholy, his behavior can range from being stoic to being charismatic.
      • Yoshikage Kira: The phlegmatic. Being a psychopathic Serial Killer, his detachment from reality lets him believe he lives a normal life, and he won't get into fights unless he's provoked, or if someone tries to interfere with his passively murderous tendencies.
      • Diavolo: The choleric. He's hellbent on keeping his position from being overthrown, and won't pull any punches when it comes to protecting himself and his host personality, Vinegar Doppio. Being the boss of Passione, he controls most of Italy with his distribution of drugs, which makes everyone about as Ax-Crazy as he is, and he rarely ever regrets his actions.
      • Enrico Pucci: The melancholic. Being misguided under the teachings of DIO, Pucci strives to reset the universe to the point of everybody knowing their own destiny, seeing it as the best way to free the world from the suffering it's long been put through, and achieve "Heaven" in the process. He's not a bad person at heart, but seeing as he thinks DIO is what the world should strive to be inspired by, he plans on eliminating the Joestar family lineage in order to make this a reality.
    • The main Morioh investigators from Diamond Is Unbreakable:
      • Josuke Higashikata: The choleric. A delinquent who wears his emotions on his sleeve when provoked, but is also extremely dedicated to protecting the citizens of Morioh.
      • Koichi Hirose: The phlegmatic. The most shy of the group, even when his confidence improves. Incredibly polite and avoids combat unless absolutely necessary.
      • Okuyasu Nijimura: The sanguine. Extremely childish and impulsive, yet also very loyal and friendly to those he cares about.
      • Rohan Kishibe: The melancholic. Primarily focused on his work as a mangaka, Rohan can be very cold or blunt to those around him. However, his stories are extremely famous, and his contributions to solving the mystery in Morioh are vital.
    • The Children of DIO:
      • Giorno Giovanna: The phlegmatic. The most ideal-driven of the four, he's rather reserved and doesn't lash out at anyone unless they truly and utterly deserve it.
      • Ungalo: The melancholic. Has the most artistic integrity and creative passion of the four, but squanders it all on his self-loathing and lazy habits that make life feel worthless to him.
      • Rikiel: The sanguine. While he has a streak of self-confidence issues, he eventually breaks free of them to become the most outgoing and bombastic of the four who feels he can take on anybody.
      • Donatello Versus: The choleric. The most like DIO in terms of personality, he's very self-centered and short-tempered, wanting to be the only person in the world to achieve happiness while everyone else is left to rot.
  • Kimagure Orange Road has:
    • Phlegmatic: Kyōsuke, the kind, indecisive and lazy Ordinary High-School Student.
    • Sanguine: Hikaru, the ditzy, childish and hyperactive Genki Girl.
    • Melancholic: Madoka, who is reserved, brooding, thoughtful, highly sensitive and selfless even to a fault.
    • Choleric: Yuusaku, the passionate, short-temperded and angry karateka, obsessed with Hikaru.
  • K-On!'s protagonists:
    • Sanguine: Yui, the ditzy Nice Girl who just wants to have fun and be happy together with her friends.
    • Choleric: Ritsu, the brash Genki Girl and nominal leader who is a bit of a bully but has a kind heart deep down and wants to make her friends happy. Sociable, lazy and a bit rude, she's actually more sanguine than choleric, but compared to the others she counts as the choleric.
    • Melancholic: Mio, The Reliable One. A kind, shy bassist and the voice of reason, but also extremely sensitive and introverted. Tends towards supine when she overcomes her shyness.
    • Phlegmatic: Mugi, The Quiet One but also a laid-back and Nice Girl like Yui, who provides as much as she can for her friends.
    • Supine: Azusa. May be younger than the others but is very well-balanced and the Only Sane Woman.
  • Kill la Kill has three groups:
    • Main Characters:
    • The Elite Four:
      • Sanguine: Sanageyama — Fight-happy swordsman interested only in finding opponents that can challenge him.
      • Melancholic: Gamagoori — Firm disciplinary officer and enforcer of Satsuki's rules, and the most overt in loyalty towards her.
      • Phlegmatic: Inumuta — Preferring to gather and study as much data as possible rather than take an active field role like the others.
      • Choleric: Jakuzure — A driest sense of humor. She also takes great pride in the fact that she's known Satsuki the longest.
    • The Kiryuin Conglomerate:
      • Melancholic: Ragyo — The Big Bad of the series and an all-around pompous character whenever she gets her moments. She showcases the negatives more than the positive features, had abnormally high wants when she was testing her own daughters, but when they do fulfill them, she is filled with glee.
      • Choleric: Nui — Arguably Co-Dragons with Rei to Ragyo, and the one who gets the most work done initially while Ragyo sits around and controls REVOCS. Showcases the downsides by being outwardly nice, extremely crazy inside, and even more insane after normal Ryuko cuts off her arms.
      • Phlegmatic: Rei — The person able to serve at a moment's notice, and without question. However, she showcases the downsides by being an outwardly cold person. Exemplifies this part of her personality in the OVA by being a Defrosting Ice Queen when she heard of Ragyo's death, and was able to be swayed by Satsuki.
      • Sanguine: Mind-Controlled Ryuko — Instead of unable to express her emotions, she says them bluntly, taking them (sometimes literally) to the person she speaks to. Ryuko even kisses Nui, showcasing their love for each other. She balances out the other's negative emotions by being compassionate with them and follows after Ragyo by being way over-the-top in battles, but she showcases the negatives by being mind-controlled into finally finding her wants of being with an actual family and comes off as harsh to others.
  • Kuroko's Basketball: The Generation of Miracles:
    • Sanguine: Kise - a positive and energetic Nice Guy.
    • Phlegmatic: Murasakibara - a lazy and indifferent Big Eater.

  • Love Live!: By generation...
    • Love Live! - μ's:
      • Honoka and her Childhood Friends in either material fit this dynamic: the Sanguine is Honoka - cheerful, friendly, passionate and outgoing; the Choleric is Eli - bold, confident, logical and assertive; the Phlegmatic is Kotori - kind, loyal, selfless even to a fault and indecisive, and the Melancholic is Umi - shy, serious, logical, mature and strict, but kind and loyal as well.
      • The remaining five members fit the dynamic as well. In this Five Temperament Ensemble, the Sanguine is Rin - arguably even more energetic and outgoing than Honoka, tomboyish, playful and cheerful; the Choleric is Nico - brash, abrasive, self-absorbed and irritable; the Phlegmatic is Nozomi - kind, quiet, pretty mature and levelheaded yet not without a mischievous streak; the Melancholic is Maki - aloof, overly prideful, standoffish and independent, and the Eclectic is Hanayo - a very meek and shy girl, who gains confidence thanks to her Character Development and has a very passionate side, mainly reserved to idols.
    • Love Live! Sunshine!! - Aqours:
      • Chika and her three closer friends fit this dynamic, though with a slight variation as the Choleric is missing - so, she is the Eclectic (cheerful, kind, sociable, optimistic and outgoing, but suffers more inner conflict than she lets on and has low self-esteem), You is the Sanguine (also very friendly, approachable, cheerful and kind, yet somewhat impulsive and tomboyish), Kanan is the Phlegmatic (while athletic, she's generally the most mature, composed and quiet one, and very kind and motherly) and Riko is the Melancholic (also a Nice Girl like the others but more reserved and shy, and while intelligent and generally level-headed she easily freaks out).
      • Going with the remaining members, they fit the five temperaments perfectly; Hanamaru is the Phlegmatic (kind, level-headed, and cheerful, yet bookish and quiet), Ruby is the Eclectic (a combination of Melancholic and Sanguine, as while she is very shy and kind of a crybaby, she's also energetic, cheerful, passionate and bubbly), Yoshiko is the Melancholic (although she comes across as extroverted and hammy, she is indeed rather shy, socially awkward and insecure, and is incredibly unlucky), Mari is the Sanguine (cheerful, eccentric, friendly and kind yet rather mischievous) and Dia is the Choleric (hard-working, loud, passionate, hammy, melodramatic and the temperamental tsundere).
    • Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club - NijiGaku:
      • The four members of the QU4RTZ subunit fit the four temperaments. Kind, laid-back sleepyhead Kanata is Phlegmatic; brash, passionate and mischievous Kasumi is Choleric; shy, emotionally stunted and introverted Rina is Melancholic, and cheerful, friendly and kind Emma is Sanguine.
      • Averted with A•ZU•NA, despite forming a group of four when Yuu helps them forming the subunit, while listening to the story written by Shizuku: charismatic and energetic Yuu and Setsuna are more Sanguine, while quiet and slightly shy Shizuku and Ayumu are more Phlegmatic.
    • Love Live! Superstar!! - Liella!:
      • Kanon is Eclectic or Phlegmatic Type 2 (well-balanced, neither too extroverted nor really introverted, kind, levelheaded, somewhat shy yet quite cheerful and playful), Keke is Sanguine (very cheerful, extroverted, energetic and friendly, and always optimistic and fun-loving), Chisato is a blend of Sanguine and Phlegmatic (outgoing, cheerful, friendly and energetic, yet calmer and milder than Keke), Sumire is Choleric (the Attention Whore who is a little brash and self-absorbed, very pretentious, dramatic and over-the-top in her behavior) and Ren is Melancholic (independent, strong-willed and perfectionistic, and while she can come across as aloof and distant she's actually a genuinely nice person).
  • The main characters of Lucky Star:
    • Sanguine: Konata Izumi, the eccentric and mischievous Otaku Surrogate, who is always playful and lives in her own world.
    • Choleric: Kagami Hiiragi, the group's stereotypical Tsundere, who is brash and a bit egotistical but ultimately good-natured.
    • Phlegmatic: Tsukasa Hiiragi, the innocent, nonconfrontational Cloud Cuckoo Lander, who is kinda shy but is always sweet and friendly.
    • Melancholic: Miyuki Takara, the intelligent, polite and studious Meganekko, who is just as sweet and innocent as Tsukasa, but also by far more grounded in reality (as dorky as she may be).

      • Sanguine: Makina Nakajima. Bubbly, carries an air of happiness around her.
      • Choleric: Mikumo Guynemer. The most action-oriented member of the team.
      • Melancholic: Reina Prowler. Stoic, quiet, close-minded.
      • Phlegmatic: Kaname Buccaneer. The leader, acts as the manages schedules and mission briefings.
  • Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. natural leader (former) Tsundere Teana (choleric), knight-in-training Erio (melancholic), Caro (phlegmatic), and Genki Girl Pollyanna Subaru (sanguine). The last two's personalities actually caused a bit of family drama for their also melancholic adopted mother in the second StrikerS Sound Stage, since their combined introvertedness caused some communication problems.
  • Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Kobayashi and the three main dragons.
  • The main male characters from My Hero Academia fit this perfectly:
    • Melancholic: Izuku Midoriya. Shy, altruistic, and cripplingly insecure.
    • Choleric: Katsuki Bakugo. Vicious, prideful, and extremely antagonistic.
    • Phlegmatic: Shoto Todoroki. Disciplined, modest, and has a strong sense of justice.
    • Sanguine: Eijiro Kirishima. Kind, confident, and Hot-Blooded.
    • Ecletic: Tenya Iida. Acts both unemotional and emotional, making him the most balanced of the five.
  • Naruto The original Team 7:
    • Sanguine: Naruto Uzumaki. Cheeky and high-spirited, but also the quickest to lose his temper for better or worse cases. He's very simple-minded and naive at first, but that only adds to his charm.
    • Choleric: Sakura Haruno. Studious yet short-tempered and a constant Tsundere. She often knocks Naruto back in line, whenever he (or anyone) acts foolish. At first she was helpless and not very skilled, but overtime became a powerhouse as she matured.
    • Melancholic: Sasuke Uchiha. Distant, aloof and internally sensitive. He didn't value people very much (let alone his conrades), and was obsessed with vengeance and power. He was clearly the most bitter member of the team, but later learns a very harsh lesson in bonds and friendship.
    • Phlegmatic: Kakashi Hatake. One of the calmest and chill characters of the series. Though he was formerly Melancholic as a kid, he opened up to people after tragedy struck his life. Deceptively nonchalant, he's the backbone of the team who tries his best to keep his students cooperative, despite the unfortunate incidents that would follow.
    • The first five Hokages:
    • Sanguine: Hashirama Senju. The optimistic founder of Konoha, who wanted to establish peace between all clans by creating a village. A man who even befriended Madara Uchiha, despite having every qualm and reason not to.
    • Melancholic: Tobirama Senju & Hiruzen Sarutobi. The staunch Hokage who had misdeeds and skepticism of the Uchiha Clan. Though they were right to mistrust them, the reciprocations cost them dearly.
    • Phlegmatic: Minato Namikaze. An unprejudiced Hokage, who whole-heartedly protected his people. But was ultimately betrayed by a close former student.
    • Choleric: Tsunade. The short-tempered Hokage with immense physical power and healing capabilities. However her habit of gambling, came at a price of more than just money.
    • The true Akatsuki leaders:
    • Choleric: Tobi/ Obito Uchiha. An ominous and determined figure, who pulls the strings from the background. A deceitful liar and clever mastermind who knew more than he was willing to reveal. Manipulated both hero and villain alike, in a vengeful conquest against Konoha where he proclaimed war for a so-called "Greater Good".
    • Melancholic: Pain/ Nagato. The Dark Messiah with a deep, moralistic view of peace and justice. Twisted by righteousness, Pain believed he could end all war and conflict, through supreme power. In truth he was convinced people will never truly understand each other, that humanity will always seek conflict.
    • Phlegmatic: Konan. Pain's partner who merely wanted peace, and agreed with his plans out of sheer loyalty to her former comrades. She was obedient yet rational, soon seeing the true evil behind Tobi's actions.
    • Eclectic: Zetsu. A twisted blend of Melancholic (Black Zetsu) and Sanguine (White Zetsu). The spy who observed key events of the story, from the shadows. Deranged and untrustworthy, Zetsu served as a pawn to Tobi. But in truth Tobi, Madara and the entire Akatsuki, were all minions to his true mistress, Kaguya.
    • Between the Konoha Girls:
    • Choleric: Sakura Haruno. Most of the main reasons explained above.
    • Sanguine: Ino Yamanaka. Normally charming, high-spirited and particularly flirtatious towards the boys (especially Sasuke). But she also has a short temper, though not as frequently violent as her rival, Sakura quickly reverting back to her sweet, cheerful self.
    • Phlegmatic: Hinata Hyuga. Originally shy, meek and very sensitive. But matures into a tender, loving woman who would often sacrifice herself, to save others. Becomes more of a Mama Bear, when her feelings finally get recognized and begin starting a family with Naruto.
    • Melancholic: Tenten. One of the most rational girls of the series. The authority between Guy and Lee's ridiculous antics and Neji's logical nature. She shows an apt level of genius and ingenuity, having great skill in many different weapon varities, but rarely gets the time to shine and ends-up running an outdated shop, to her discontent.

    • Bond is Eclectic (peaceful and quiet Big Friendly Dog still able to take action when needed).
  • The Summer You Were There
    • Shizuku Hoshikawa(Melancholic): She's withdrawn, depressed to the point of contemplating suicide and suffers from self-loathing. Her younger self, a brutally honest and insensitive but outwardly confident girl, was closer to choleric, though.
    • Kaori Asaka(Sanguine): She's cheerful and outgoing, and while much of this is an act, she's the only one of the four who's even able to fake being like this.
    • Ruri Ichinose(Phlegmatic): Despite bearing emotional scars from Shizuku's bullying, she's relatively even-tempered and tends not to let her emotions cloud her judgment. Her younger self was probably more melancholic due to her meek nature and tendency to apologize.
    • Seri Ichihara(Choleric): She's hot-tempered by nature, whether it's her hostility toward Shizuku or yelling at Kaori for pushing herself too far despite her illness.

    • Melancholic: Akira - Introverted, intelligent, and pessimistic.
    • Phlegmatic: Nadeshiko - Calm, tries to avoid conflict, and a sweetheart.
  • Trigun more often averts this trope in favor of the Lone Hero or the Power Trio. Adding Wolfwood to the cast has a subtractive effect instead, generating a duo dynamic that leaves Meryl and Millie on the sidelines. When they participate equally they fit the four temperaments: Meryl (choleric), Vash (melancholic, though pretending to be sanguine), Wolfwood (phlegmatic), and Millie (sanguine).
  • In the original Weiß Kreuz Aya (choleric), Omi (melancholic), Youji (phlegmatic), and Ken (sanguine).

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! :
    • The four Battle City finalists: Yugi/Yami Yugi (phlegmatic, both personalities being kind and compassionate unless provoked or angered enough), Kaiba (melancholic, a bit more outgoing than most examples but still cold and distant to anyone that isn't a trusted company partner), Jonouchi (sanguine, hot-blooded, loyal to his friends, and always ready for a challenge), and Marik/Yami Marik (choleric, both of them being openly cruel, sadistic, and petty towards their opponents)

    • The Big Five: Leichter (sanguine, the most concerned with fulfilling Gozaburo's vision of KaibaCorp in letter and spirit, taking the form of Jinzo), Johnson (phlegmatic, a Rules Lawyer who isn't above cheating to get his way, exemplified by his form as Judge Man), Gansley (choleric, the most aggressive of the four who takes the form of Deepsea Warrior), Nezbitt (melancholic, a cold emotionless man who fittingly takes the form of Robotic Knight and later Perfect Machine King) and Crump (eclectic, being mostly concerned only with his love of penguins and taking the form of Nightmare Penguin).
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! GX:
    • The four protagonists (with major Character Development arcs): Judai (sanguine, being the lazy but fun-loving and happy-go-lucky guy who likes playing the hero up until Season 3 where his Chronic Hero Syndrome gets exploited for all its worth, in the process revealing his key weaknesseses of being too idealistic for his own good and vulnerable to emotional abuse and manipulation, causing him to break and go insane with anger and hate briefly before eventually recovering and when he does it's clear he's not the same anymore afterward), Sho (melancholic, always being insecure about living in his brother's shadow, which causes him no end of self-doubt until he bonds more with Judai and learns to come into his own), Manjoume (choleric, being the Lonely Rich Kid who tries to put up a hammy, dramatic front to keep everybody's spirits high while secretly dealing with his own personal struggles, especially trying to live up to his own expectations), and Asuka (phlegmatic, always calm and mostly going along with wherever the plot takes her and her friends while being unsure of what to do herself when it comes time for them to part ways).
    • The major antagonists: Kagemaru (sanguine, the elderly yet still bombastic academy chairman who wants to regain his youth at a great cost to everyone else), Supreme King Judai (choleric, [[spoiiler: being Judai's corrupted alter ego fueled solely by his anger, rage, and his love of dueling - the only thing left that he has faith in once his friends abandon and chastise him for his recklessness resulting in their assumed deaths]]), Yubel (phlegmatic, Judai's first Duel Monster spirit partner whose only desire is to reunite with him again and forever, by any means necessary), Darkness (melancholic, an Eldritch Abomination of pure nihilism that seeks to trap all of humanity into a state of stagnance, beleiving it's what they want and is best for them), and Saiou (eclecitc, ultimately a good person at heart but is being possessed by Darkness's polar opposite entity into becoming a deranged cult leader)

  • Out of the four "Yus" from Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V:
    • Sanguine: Yuya, being an idealist who aspires to make people smile and peacefully solve conflicts but can be emotionally unstable. He starts out with self-confidence issues before coming into his own as a duelist. Under Zarc's influence he's fueled purely by rage and once he comes to his senses he's left with little to no memory of his sudden shift in personality.
    • Choleric: Yugo, who's hot-tempered and occasionally impulsive but is ambitious and protective of loved ones. He's also very prideful, meaning it's very easy to rile him up due to him wearing his heart on his sleeve. Under Zarc's influence he becomes akin to a wild animal fueled purely by destructive impulses. Compared to Yuto, his hot-headedness means he's more susceptible to being possessed and takes longer to recover.
    • Melancholic: Yuto is determined, pragmatic, and stoic, but has a self-blaming and cynical strea as well as having difficulty expressing his true feelingsk. Under Zarc's influence he becomes fueled by the desire to utterly crush his opponents, but it's that same determination and stoicism that allows him to come to his senses the easiest.
    • Phlegmatic: Yuri is always level-headed and calm, even when relentlessly hunting people under orders of his leader, or being a comedic plaything. Being Yuya's polar opposite, he started out extremely competent, but he alienated his peers due to his sheer strength and thanks to Leo Akaba enabling his worst traits, he became a sociopathic Blood Knight who delights in indulging his own sadism. This also makes him the most similar in personality to Zarc, whose influence turns him into a wapred puppet of his original incarnation, becoming an unhinged psychopath who wants to effectively murder everyone and everything, a jarring contrast to his usual Faux Affably Evil self.
    • Eclectic: Zarc, being the origin of the Dragon boys, possesses aspects of all four of them. Unfortunately he undergoes a tragic downward spiral into insanity and evil that results in him giving in to the worst of those aspects to become Supreme Dragon King Zarc, a hellish concoction of Yuya's emotional instability (being prone to violent mood swings), Yugo's recklessness (choosing to throw away his humanity without thinking of the consequences), Yuto's self-loathing and cynicism (seeing the worst in humanity and hating himself for giving into their desire for more violent duels), and Yuri's nihilism (seeing himself as a godlike being supeerior to humans and choosing to be known as a devil if it means he's the strongest]
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS: Playmaker (melancholic, being the most pragmatic and goal-driven out of all the series' protagonists, seeking revenge against those responsible for the Hanoi Incident, where he and 6 other chidlren were kidnapped, tortured, and used as a basis for twisted experiements involving AI constructs), Soulburner (sanguine, another victim of the Hanoi Incident who was inspired by Playmaker to get over his trauma and move forward, returning to his original upbeat self), Blue Angel (phlegmatic, being only tangentially connected to the main plotline but soon becomes more invested and involved as she strives to prove herself capable of fending for herself), and Revolver (choleric, a guilt-driven young man connected to those behind the Hanoi Incident who seeks to correct their mistaakes by destroying the AI they created, come hell or high water)
    • The group of main antagonists in season 2 : Lightning (choleric, an AI who despises humanity and wants to rule them out of jealousy because of his own design being flawed as the human he was based off of was one of the weaker-willed test subjects), Bohman (melancholic, a stoic yet insightful AI construct designed by Lightning who intends to fulfill the purpose given to him by his creator), Windy (sanguine, the most fun-loving of the 6 original Ignis until Lightning brainwashed him, turning him into a psychotic fanatic who killed his own Origin and zealously supports Lightning, much to his annoyance) and Haru (phlegmatic, Bohman's prototype and handler who doesn't see value in his own existence until he dies in front of his "brother".).
    • The four Ignis not affiliated with Lightning's faction: Flame (choleric), Earth (melancholic), Aqua (phlegmatic), and Ai (sanguine, but later becomes eclectic in Season 3 when he changes into a human form)
  • Team Urameshi from YuYu Hakusho fits this perfectly:
    • Yusuke is Choleric. Being Hot-Blooded, proud and secretly compassionate to his loved ones.
    • Kuwabara is Sanguine. A Boisterous Bruiser who wears his heart on his sleeve and proudly declares his love.
    • Kurama is Phlegmatic. The Guile Hero and strategist of the team who keeps his cards close to his chest.
    • Hiei is Melancholic. As a Perpetual Frowner and Noble Demon with a resentment for how he was mistreated and protection of his sister.
  • In Zombieland Saga, the first four members of Franchouchou easily fit this: Sakura is sanguine (being a cheerful yet meek and somewhat clumsy Nice Girl), Saki is choleric (being the extroverted, hammy, bossy and brusque Jerk with a Heart of Gold), Ai is melancholic (being pessimistic and skeptical) and Junko is phlegmatic (being a quiet and reserved Shrinking Violet).
