Kazuma Kiryu

Kiryu's maturity and stoicism make him really interesting and unique amongst game protagonists. His melancholic mood in Yakuza 5 was also handled exceptionally well, plus he can drive taxis in that one.

Travis Touchdown

He's such a god damn loser but he has an endearing sincerity to him that makes me always root for him. His more mature characterization in Travis Strikes Again was also terrific.

Francis York Morgan

York is so weird and eclectic and it's perfect. He's entertaining as all hell whenever he talks since he can switch between a wide variety of topics on a dime.

I love Snake's maturity and his struggle with trying to balance his vulnerable and human side with his battle-hardened soldier side
