Hey Guys , simply put I need your input on animes with a Tough guy as more then just a 5 minute scene , You know , Like a tough character in general ( preferably more in looks then attitude) and I don't necessarilly mean They have to be a Big guy either ... Help me out would ya ... a few example that would pop in my head if some one were to say this to me is "Scar" from Full metal alchemist, "nagi" from Tenjou Tenge, and "spike" Cowboy bebop....

My main problem is I want something a little lless used up so if any ya have suggestion send please Reply, Thanks guys

I doubt you'll find a "tough guy" that isn't overused. People eat up that "cool, silent, strong" type that I think you're looking for. You'd just need some obscure anime, I guess. In which case I couldn't be of any help anyway.

Might want to try Grappler Baki. Not too many folks use that series. Plenty of tough guys there.

You could try Ryo from City Hunter, I haven't seen him in anything. Or maybe Ross Sylibus from the Armitage series. Of course you could use Guts from Berserk, but he is used a lot. I think John Blade in Sin, the Movie is another tough guy. If I remember any others I'll let you know.

I suppose this excludes anime like DBZ...

You can pick any guy from Tenjho Tenge. Nagi, Bob, the "Old Man", even the wrestling club prez can work.

In fact, just about every fighting anime (Fighting Spirit, Baki the Grappler, Street Fighter, etc.) has at least one example.

Pretty much any guy from The Fist of the North Star series.

Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist.

Onizuka from Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) qualifies sometimes.

and my favorite, Bean from Riding Bean.

Ginji Amano from Get Backers. Don't know if it's overused. Though it's a shounen, I know how the Yaoi fangirls like that series so I'm too afraid to look.

I'd also suggest Kamui from X. Can never get enough of X, it's one of those great series' that's rareley used.
