Amidst the overshadowing popularity of anime characters with one eye color, those with two different eye colors are considered to be highly underrated, as these individuals are as scarce as hen’s teeth. For most of these characters, the cause behind the variation of coloration in both eyes is a genetic condition called Heterochromia iridium.
However, there are also others who have simply gone over physical modification by implanting or by awakening a unique eye that gives them a significant advantage in using their ocular abilities, as in the case of Kakashi Hatake. Anime characters with two different eye colors are special because they are often found to possess two distinct personalities - one that is calm and composed, the other that is vengeful and filled with bloodlust.

Since she has a unique set of eyes, she soon becomes a victim of bullying, which caused her to develop agoraphobia. Due to her reclusive nature, she didn’t see the importance of making or having friends until the day she met Koito Nagase.

9) Mei Misaki (Anime: Another)
Mei Misaki is a petite girl with pale skin and short black hair. At the tender age of four, she lost her left eye to an unnamed disease. Mei’s aunt, Yukiyo Misaki, better known by her pseudonym Kirika, wanted her niece to live a normal life. So, being an expert doll-maker, she made a prosthetic glass eye for Mei, with a green iris that was different in color from her original red eyes.
Kirika believes "an eye of the same color as her eye will be boring," but Mei is very insecure about her prosthetic eye, which is why she often keeps her left eye hidden beneath an eyepatch. Her left eye makes her aware that death is not a blessing; however, after removing the eyepatch, Mei can decipher whether something is dead or alive.
8) Urumi Kanzaki (Anime: Great Teacher Onizuka)

She is also a polyglot who can effectively speak five languages with ease. As a genius with an IQ of over 200, Urumi is the smartest girl in Class 3-4, even more intelligent than Yoshito Kikuchi. She initially came off as a mischievous sociopath; however, under Onizuka’s influence, she became more friendly and honest. Additionally, Urumi stopped siding with Miyabi and chose to follow Onizuka.

Being an immature sadistic curse, Mahito takes great pleasure in torturing humans and toying with their emotions.

Seijuro’s most unique quality is that he stands by his word. With an intimidating and condescending personality, Seijuro has proven to be the backbone of the Generation of Miracles. Those who earn his respect automatically earn his faith and trust. However, he can’t stand those who belittle or berate him.

Due to his unique Half-Cold Half-Hot quirk, Shoto possessed heterochromia iridium, which caused his left eye to appear turquoise and his right as brownish-dark gray. Due to his abusive upbringing, Shoto had a cold and aloof personality. However, under Izuku Midoriya’s influence, he now strives to become a Hero for the greater good of humanity. The only thing that Shoto doesn’t want to do is walk on the same path his father picked.
4) Kakashi Hatake (Anime: Naruto)
The widely acclaimed “Copy Ninja Kakashi” is one of the most powerful and highly skilled shinobi whose prowess remains indisputable. Kakashi's most unique feature about him is his appearance. The only two things visible on the upper part of his body are his spiky white hair and his right eye with black irides. Kakashi hides his left eye by using his forehead protector as an eyepatch.
It was later revealed in the series that Kakashi wields Obito’s Sharingan, which he got from him as a gift during the Third Great Ninja War. Although Kakashi is not from the Uchiha bloodline, he is quite proficient in handling the destructive effects of using the Sharingan and also figuring out the limits of his abilities with his newfound ocular abilities.
3) Ciel Phantomhive (Anime: Black Butler)
The sole heir and current head of the Phantomhive family, Ciel is a short teenage boy with grey-tinged blue-black hair and a peacock-blue left eye. Ciel almost always keeps his right eye covered with an eyepatch to hide the Faustian contract he made with Sebastian Michaelis.
The right eye structure has a pentagram inside a circle with the magic ward "tetragrammaton" around it. Sebastian regards Ciel as a prodigy due to his presence of mind and keen intuition. Though he is very wise and intellectual for his given age, he can be childish at times.

The primary protagonist of the series, Ken Kaneki goes by many names like One-Eyed King, Black Reaper, Centipede, etc. Kaneki used to have black hair and black eyes during his human days; however, after being tormented by Yamori, his appearance changed drastically. Due to the intense torture and trauma that was inflicted on him, Kaneki’s hair turned white, and his nails blackened.
Moreover, he also awakened Kakugan in his left eye, turning his iris red and the sclera black with red veins running across his eyes. As Kaneki wasn’t able to manifest Kakugan properly, he wore a medical eyepatch to cover it. From human to half-Ghoul, Kaneki had the greatest transition of his life.
