Ear piercing says a lot about a character. While most characters who wear earrings are depicted as villainous, there are some exceptions where people wearing earrings are kind and caring.

Some famous anime characters who wear earrings are Zoro from One Piece, Kawaki from Boruto, Sailor Uranus, and Yugi Muto.
