And she can also use Sacred Arrows, which come in handy against demonic entities. Kagome may not be the most accurate anime archer, but she did manage to save Inuyasha on several occasions using her bow and arrow. Kagome Higurashi is simply perfect, she's attractive and kind-hearted, but also a true friend to those she's close with. Rumiko Takahashi has a knack for creating some charismatic, feisty and well-conceived female characters. One thing's for sure, none us would like to be one of Archer's targets!

While many of Sawa Okita's fellow students and friends are into singing and music, she's more concerned with hitting the mark at her school's archery club. But as good as his archery skills may be, they didn't help him from suffering a stunning defeat in battle and ending up working for the enemy. After all, an anime archer plays a key role in the story as one of the main characters Tigrevurmund Vorn is an Earl and proficient marksman.
