They will be sorted alphabetically by the names they are known best, whether it is their first name, last name, or their nicknames.

1. Q / Kyūsaku Yumeno (Bungo Stray Dogs)

Kyūsaku, also known as “Q”, is a 13-year-old member of the Port Mafia. His ability is called Dogra Magra, which allows him to exert mind control over people.

2. Quatre Raberba Winner (Gundam)

Quatre Raberba, Winner, appears in the New Mobile Report Gundam Wing series. Out of all of the Gundam Pilots, Quatre seems the most well-adjusted of the group, generally displaying a kind, humble personality, as shown in the Japanese version, he uses the personal pronoun “Boku,” a humble but weaker pronoun, compared to the pronoun “ore” that the other pilots use. As a firm believer in the ideals of pacifism, he is a reluctant soldier who often expresses sorrow whenever he is forced to kill his enemies.

3. Queen (One Piece)

Queen is portrayed as an extremely rude and critical individual, particularly towards his teammates. He, along with King, expresses disdain for another character named Jack, suggesting a hierarchy within their group. It’s mentioned that Queen is responsible for “breaking the will” of individuals that their leader, Kaido, wishes to recruit. Queen is described as a highly intelligent scientist with the ability to modify his body into a developed cyborg form. Despite his intelligence, he is depicted as lazy, often transported on a cart. He is adored by his subordinates and has a comedic and funny nature. Despite his laziness, he finds long-term fights interesting. He is also portrayed as somewhat clumsy, getting shot by his own voice-recognition weapons.

4. Quent Yaiden (Wolf’s Rain)

Quent’s hatred of Wolves is the only thing keeping him alive. He lived in Cryos, a quiet little village, with his wife, young son (Ruth) and his adopted dog, Blue, and practiced his profession as a sheriff. All four were happy until the day when Quent returned to the village with Blue to see the flames devour them. Near his house, Wolves were assembled, including one with an evil eye. He opens fire on them with his service weapon. Then, unable to exact his revenge on the animals, he leaves the devastated village, having with him only his gun, his dog, and a photo of his family.

6. Quetzalcoatl (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid)

Quetzalcoatl, commonly known as Lucoa, is a neutral Observer faction dragon and former Aztec goddess.

In her human form, Lucoa appears as a shapely woman with blond hair ending in green-blue tips and distinctive heterochromia. Notably, she possesses unusually large breasts. Despite her past, she is wise, friendly, carefree, and always ready to offer advice to her friends. However, she prefers not to discuss her history.

7. Quitela (Dragon Ball Super)

Quitela is a god with the appearance of a yellow mouse, so he is quite short, but his abdomen is somewhat bulky. He wears the God of Destruction outfit with green colors and a dark green headband. He has the same symbol on his robe as Geene from Universe 12. He feels some animosity towards Beerus, as well as being very tricky, demonstrating this by sending spies to other universes in order to gather information dishonestly, saying that as long as the King of All doesn’t find out, nothing will happen to him. Quitela makes weird noises when laughing, a reference to the sound mice make.

8. Qrow Brauwen (RWBY)

Qrow Branwen is Raven’s twin brother and the uncle (indirectly) of Yang and Ruby. He wields a weapon similar to Ruby’s and believes that his semblance brings bad luck, considering himself cursed. Spending much of his time drinking, he shares the ability with his sister to transform into a crow. Loyal to the secret organization of Ozpin, he is in conflict with authorities, particularly those of Atlas, represented by James Ironwood and Winter Schnee.

In Volume 4, Qrow follows Ruby and JNR to Mistral, where he confronts Tyrian and is poisoned in the ensuing fight. In Volume 5, he becomes the mentor of teams RWBY and ORJN, guiding them through Mistral and Atlas. In Volume 7, he forms a close bond with Clover Ebi, leader of the Ace Ops, who has a semblance of good fortune. Qrow is devastated by Clover’s death at Tyrian’s hands.

9. Quillish Wammy Watari (Death Note)

From his real name Quillsh Wammy, he is a mysterious character who is actually an inventor. He uses his fortune to maintain orphanages (like Wammy’s House), and he started one to find geniuses who could replace Lawliet as L. He is a gifted person in the use of snipers and computers, very wise and kind. He will be killed by Rem in episode 25 (Chapter 58, vol. 7), just before Lawliet.

10. Quon Kisaragi (RahXephon)

Presented at the beginning of the story as the adoptive sister of Kisaragi Itsuki, this teenager encased in her survival suit expresses herself enigmatically in obscure and poetic sentences. Systematically calling Ayato “Olin” (or “Orin”), desired by many men of TERRA, she is the subject of strange experiments and has an important place in the conflict between Mu and TERRA. She actually turns out to be Maya’s sister and Itsuki and Ayato’s mother. She will also become the dark RahXephon to flood the world with music and light.
