"Bishounen" (bishonen) is a Japanese term which literally means "beautiful youth", or a pretty boy.
There are a lot of bishounens in the Anime world. I know you all have bets, so tell me: Who's the MOST GOOD LOOKING bishounen for you?
Mine will be Kurama in his Suichi Minamino form. He's really handsome! Plus the fact that he's cool and collected and is really intelligent. I don't care if people think Yuyu Hakusho's author initially intended Kurama to be Hiei's lover since there are no official transcript or evidence for such, and that's just based on the imaginative minds of people loving yaoi. And how can they tell he's like it if he had a girlfriend named Maya?

Hmmm... this is quite a difficult thing for me to think about. I like several guy caracters even if they are not considered as bishounen in other people's point of view. Anyways, I'll just name the male charactrers that I like... First off is
Kurosaki Ichigo of Bleach, and then Toshiro of Bleach, Byakuya of Bleach, Luffy of One Piece, Zoro of One Piece, hot guys from the Starry Sky, Tsuruga Ren of Skip Beat, Tamahome, Hotohori and Taski of Fushigi Yuugi, Usui of Kaichou wa maid sama, Oga of Beelzebub, Kaname and Shiki of Vampire Knight, Hikaru, Mori and Tamaki of Ouran High School Host Club, ....
there's a lot if it isn't obvious. Hahaha! Sorry, I just got carried away in typing my favorite male characters... though others aren't really considered as bishounens. Hahaha!

Yes! I forgot all about Usui from Maid-sama.
If I was Misaki, I would be like "You're such a jerk that I wanna kiss you!"

Hmm...it's hard for me to say!
I'm not really the one for the pretty type but I am more for the moe type. My type would have to be the tsundere character, so my favorite bishonen has to be along those likes. My tops are Inuyasha, Ichigo from "Bleach," Germany for "Hetalia," Kyon form "Fruits Basket," and Goku and Gohan from "Dragon Ball Z" when they go in their Super Saiyan forms. Out of them all, it has to be Gohan who is my favorite.

Let me presume it is Gohan in his teenage form, not the baby / toddler Gohan. :)

Well, that sorta goes without saying. I mean, he is a teen for about almost 100 episodes into the series, plus an adult the whole time in GT. May not be a majority, but he also isn't a toddler for most of the series. He's like 11 or 12 during the Cell Saga!

Hi MsPatricia!
What's more annoying regarding Kurama is that Filipino dubbers initially used a female dubber to voice Kurama which does not sounded like a guy and led to confusion about Kurama's gender. They even gave him a female name which was Denise! It was good that they changed it but the confusion has been made. Kurama's Japanese seiyuu is a female but she sounded like a guy and that's cool. That's even ordinary to Japanese anime, using a female seiyuu to voice male characters.
Anyway, my latest favorite bishounen would be Kazehaya from Kimi ni Todoke, I think he's a perfect example of a pretty boy! Blessed with not only good looks but with a good heart. Others would be from old animes such as Ran Fujimiya (Knight Hunters), Heero Yuy (Gundam Wing), Ryoma Echizen (Prince of Tennis), Akira Sendoh (Slamdunk), Lantis (Magic Knight Rayearth), and many others I can't think of right now.

There's a lot of pretty faces in anime, I prefer mostly blonde and long haired characters. Kyohei Takano in the anime Yamato Nadeshiko is one of my favorites, his blonde hair and pretty face is a top caliber for me. Next is Kaname Kuran from Vampire Knight, very mesmerizing eyes indeed, a pureblood vampire, his mysterious and dark side is an additional factor for me. And lastly, Takumi Usui from Kaichou-wa Maid-sama, who looks similar with Kyohei.

Oh yes. Kyohei is good looking.
I wonder if someone would like Dark Mousy from DN Angel.

I think Yuki Sohma from Fruits Basket is my favorite bishounen. He has various different faces that can make him serious, happy, sad, etc. He is very caring for people and is just an overall nice guy. Plus he has so much unwanted fame and could care less about drama. He is awesome (:

I would also vote for Youko Kurama of Yu Yu Hakusho. It's amazing how this character got created. I really like the green eyes of Kurama. Aside from physical appearance, he also possess intelligence and charm. The silver demon fox form of him is a good looking character too.

Oh there's too many to choose from. X.x I have a bishie for ever (good) anime I watch... If I were made to choose, I guess I'd go for Sasori from Naruto. He's really cute and he really stuck to me even though he was such a short-lived character. I really like his voice acting too.
