October 31st is Day of the Dead (or Halloween as it's more commonly known around the world). Originally a night dedicated to remembering the dead, the celebration has become more mainstream in recent years with the growing popularity of trick-or-treating and costume parties.

Having a birthday on this significant day can be quite special and the same can be said for anime characters who are also born on October 31. Most of these characters are known for their cunning and devious nature, so perhaps they were born on Halloween.

8 Yuu Kashima (Girls' Monthly Nozaki-kun)

A princely side character

Yuu Kashima is a supporting character in Nozaki-kun monthly for girls and is well known around the school for her “principle” looks. She is quite androgynous herself, and her prince-like personality makes many girls gravitate towards her over boys.

Kashima also likes it when girls pay attention to him and choose to flirt with them at every opportunity. She's the kind of character who aims to please no matter what, and it's this attitude that often gets her into trouble with Hori-senpai, a classmate she admires the most.

7 Anri Sonohara (Durarara!!)

An intelligent character who likes to keep his head down

Anri Sonohara is quite an important character in Durarara!!as he is one of the main characters' close friends. She is known for her quiet and shy nature, preferring to distance herself from awkward situations and keep her head down. Despite this, she is shown to be very intelligent and resourceful, especially after possessing the Saika (demon blade).

Like the main character, she is also a member of Dollars and uses her own way to help her friends out of difficult situations. Anri is an honest and good character, so it takes some time for her to come to terms with being a Saikai wielder, only using the blade whenever she feels extremely threatened or suspicious.

6 Ferid Bathory (Seraph of the End)

A sadistic vampire who likes to play with his food

Ferid Bathory is one of the main antagonists in Seraph of the End and the seventh progenitor of the vampires. He is actually the one who killed Mika and Yuu's orphanage family and the reason for their breakup.

Like most anime vampires, he thinks pretty highly of himself and won't let anyone talk to him. Despite his polite demeanor, he is very sadistic in nature and likes to play with his prey. It was seen so much when he lured Mika and the Hyakuya orphans with empty promises, only to see the hope fade from their eyes before killing them all in front of Yuu.
