Few creatures have captured the hearts and minds of men as completely as vampires. Darkened, monstrous, lustful, ensnaring—vampires possess a near-endless potential to be either graceful harbingers of eternity or vicious beasts of dripping death. Vampire tales have existed in folklore for centuries with many different cultures having their own takes on the blood-sucking denizens of the night. It would be only fitting that such creatures would find their way into modern populist fiction, specifically that of anime. Of all the vampires that have been featured in Japanese media, there is one and only one that stands as the greatest of them all: Vampire Hunter D.Created by Hideyuki Kikuchi in 1983, Vampire Hunter D is anime’s preeminent vampire series, and it has extended across novels, audio dramas, anime, manga, video games, and more. Set in the far distant future, Vampire Hunter D tells the many tales of its enigmatic titular hero, a man of purpose and drive, yet also of grave mystery. A reserved and steely protector of the remnants of mankind, D travels alone across the destroyed world he calls home, helping those that deserve his aid, and mercilessly cutting down those that deserve his ire.As a vampire hunter, D is the ultimate fighter. Half-human and half-vampire, D is what is known as a dhampir. Possessing a vast majority of vampiric powers yet very few of their weaknesses, D is a force to be reckoned with. D is gifted with superhuman speed, strength, agility, endurance, and intellect. His body regenerates at an astounding rate, capable of healing from direct sunlight exposure within hours. As a hunter, D is equipped with a fearsome crescent sword, a six-legged mechanical steed, and a variety of weapons and armaments. Being part vampire, D also has an array of magical abilities at his disposal, though he often chooses not to use them. Perhaps the most bizarre entry in his arsenal, D has a thinking and talking face on his left palm that itself can produce wind vacuums, and even revive D as needed in battle. D’s centuries of hunting and battle experience, combined with his supernatural powers and deadly weapons, make him the most dangerous being on the planet.
