If you’ve been in the FELIP fandom long enough, you’ve probably seen him lovingly referred to as a “living anime.” But where does that title come from? It’s more than just a compliment — it’s a reflection of his style, vibe, and the way he effortlessly blends fantasy with reality, just like our favorite anime protagonists.
Anime-Inspired Hair: Satoru Gojo Vibes
One of FELIP’s most iconic looks had fans instantly thinking of Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen. With his striking white-blonde hair, fierce gaze, and effortlessly cool aura, FELIP’s resemblance to the powerful sorcerer wasn’t lost on anyone. It screams “anime main character energy” — bold, fearless, and magnetic.
Singing Slam Dunk’s Opening Theme
FELIP’s love for anime isn’t just visual — it’s in his music too. In an unforgettable moment, he performed “Kimi Ga Suki da to Sakebitai,” the nostalgic opening from Slam Dunk. This wasn’t just a cover; it was a love letter to anime culture. He transported fans right back to that classic sports anime vibe, proving he’s not just an anime fan — he lives the spirit.

AAA 2023: Levi Ackerman Vibes
At AAA 2023, FELIP’s sleek black hair and sharp style had fans calling him the “Levi Ackerman” of the night. With his intense gaze and cool composure, he embodied the Attack on Titan character’s commanding aura. Another unforgettable anime-coded highlight to add to his legacy.
Owning a Katana? Main Character Confirmed.
Yes — FELIP owns a katana. For some, it’s just a cool prop, but fans know it’s the ultimate symbol of anime hero energy. Whether on stage, in personal shoots, or just for his own vibe, the katana seals his reputation as a real-life anime lead.

Swag in Pink: FELIP Channels Doflamingo at Philippine Arena
During the first day of SB19’s Simula at Wakas World Tour kickoff at the Philippine Arena, FELIP (Ken of SB19) stunned the crowd in a bold pink fur coat — effortlessly pulling off a look that fans instantly connected to One Piece’s Donquixote Doflamingo. With FELIP’s known love for anime, it wasn’t long before the comparisons flooded in, further solidifying his “living anime” status — especially with his sharp styling and animated stage presence. See the fan-made side-by-side here.
The following night, while performing in the same pink ensemble, FELIP’s coat accidentally opened — briefly revealing his gym-toned abs, which sent fans into a frenzy. The moment only added fuel to the Doffy comparisons, with many saying he looked even more like the iconic anime villain. Here’s the second-day moment fans couldn’t get over.
The Hanamichi Sakuragi Era — FELIP at Bicol Loco 2025
At the Bicol Loco Music Festival on June 15, 2025, FELIP turned heads once again—this time with a bold buzz cut dyed in bright pink, instantly drawing comparisons to Hanamichi Sakuragi, the iconic protagonist from Slam Dunk. The resemblance wasn’t just in the hair—it was in the presence. Much like Sakuragi’s chaotic charm and raw energy, FELIP exuded confidence on stage, mixing his explosive charisma with a controlled, powerhouse performance.
Fans online were quick to make the connection:
“Hanamichi is real. And he sings.”

While casual listeners praised his deep voice and impressive vocal range, even they couldn’t ignore the striking visual—his anime-like jawline, sculpted build, and now, a Sakuragi-pink crown. FELIP once again proved that he’s not just a voice to hear, but a vision to behold—a real-life anime character unfolding in the world of pop.
