Minato Namikaze

On this list of the greatest anime fathers, Minato Namikaze is most likely the youngest. He is Leaf Village's fabled fourth Hokage. He is wed to fellow ninja Kushina Uzumaki. Naruto is the fortunate son of Minato. Following Naruto's birth, the village was invaded by Nine Tail Fox. He imprisoned the Nine-Tails inside of him in order to preserve the village and Naruto's future.

Though this was the only way to keep Naruto safe, he didn't want him to live a lonely existence. Their relationship is unbreakable even if they didn't spend much time together. To save his son and the village, Minato gave his life. He is the epitome of what a wonderful father and savior should be.

Even though Minato Namikaze and Naruto shared a physical appearance, Jiraiya and Tsunade thought differently about Minato's attitude. They saw him as a very calm and humble man. He was known for being extremely astute and smart and for never acting without a purpose. To be honest, Minato holds himself responsible for his demise for a number of reasons: he was powerless to spare Obito from the destiny that ruined him, Konoha from the challenges that followed his passing, and even his own son Naruto from the torturous and challenging existence he endured as a jinchūriki orphan.
