Mines would either be Gene Starwind from Outlaw Star or Rurouni Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin. They're both cool and hardcore.

Best fighter? easy! Azuma Kazuma from Yakitate Japan. Now he's a fighter.

lol i like that, azuma kazuma!!

i like jin from samurai champloo, his fighting style is awesome!!

Uchiha Itachi. He's just... cool.

itachi! my fav i also like maya's boyfriend in tenjou tenge (i'm bad at remembering names )

Dragon Shiryu (saint Seiya)

Maya from Tenjou Tenge.

masataka takayanagi from tenjho tenge. that guy rocks

Kurosaki Ichigo from Bleach. But in my opinion, all main characters in anime with fighting should be cool.

Gutz from Berserk and Kusinagi from Blue Seed (first one, not second... they made him less manly. It sucked.)

I'd name Saitoh Hajime from (RK) anytime. ^^

//though i almost wanted to put Mugen from SC *smiles*

Id have to say Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell.......cause shes a cyborg.......and they are strong!!!! >:D

Im gonna have to say Saitoh Hajime from kenshin.. how can you get any cooler than that?.. =).. experienced.. cerebral.. never hesitates.. fights in the name of justice.. the list goes on..

Rock Lee from Naruto. His battle against Gaara was the most amazing I have ever seen in anime. Moreover, I like his enthusiasm and the faith he has to his sensei. His attitude is so cool!

Ora, ora, oraaaaaaaaa!!!

Harima Kenji from School Rumble.. yep, he is a badass "fighter"

I think Naruto or Neji and Rock lee and of course Sasuke. They rock!!!!

Kenshin Himura (Rurouni Kenshin)
Onimeno Kyo (Samurai Deeper Kyo)
Suzuka (Outlaw Star)
Amidamaru & Yoh Asakura (Shaman King)

Walter, from Hellsing. He's not so much a hand-to-hand guy, but someone who can do what he does, at his age, is by all means, worthy of some graditude. Not to mention he totally puts his life on the line to get the job done.

hmm
baiken from guilty gear is cool.. sol badguy aint bad either..

Himura Kenshin . . . hands down!!!

but others worth mentioning are,

Gut's from Beserk

Hmm... let's see...
Killy, Sanakan, Domochevsky and Cibo from BLAME!...
Manji, Anotsu, Giichi, Shira, Hyakurin and Rin from Blade of the Immortal...
