Johan Liebert is the titular main antagonist of the 1994 psychological thriller manga series Monster and its 2004 anime adaptation of the same name, as well as the overarching antagonist of their 2002 sequel, Another Monster.

He is an extremely ruthless, emotionless, vicious, callous, wicked and psychopathic serial killer whose life was saved by Kenzo Tenma as a child. He is also the older twin of his sister Nina Fortner. Johan has stated that his one true goal is to be the last one alive when the world ends—but upon rediscovering a children's book that appeared to play a major role in his past, he instead set his mind on committing the \"perfect \", i.e. dying without leaving behind any evidence of his existence (with the possible exception of Dr. Tenma's memories of him, in order to destroy Tenma's faith in humanity).

He was voiced by Nozomu Sasaki in the Japanese version of the anime who has also voiced Mello in Death Note, Tetsuo Shima in Akira, K9999 in The King of Fighters, and Eriol Hiiragizawa in Cardcaptor Sakura, and Keith Silverstein in the English dubbed version, the latter of whom had also voiced Hisoka Morow in Hunter x Hunter, Chairman Rose in Pokemon: Sword and Shield, Dr. Wily in the Mega Man franchise, Ougai Mori in Bungo Stray Dogs, Deag Grav in Doom, Hawk Moth in Miraculous, Masayoshi Shido in Persona 5, Deep Sea King in One Punch Man, Aaroniero Arruruerie in Bleach, Kurozumi Orochi in One Piece, Kimimaro and Isshiki Ōtsutsuki in the Naruto/Boruto series, Bartleby ","first_published_at":"2025-10-11T12:10:16.471160","id":"6d00e8a8-dbc2-4938-b4f9-3b8a70a6c178","is_deleted":false,"is_force_remove":false,"is_image_nsfw":false,"is_nsfw":true,"is_proxy_enabled":true,"is_public":true,"name":"Johan Liebert","scheduled_publish_at":null,"showdefinition":false,"stats":{"chat":154,"message":1480},"tags":[{"created_at":"2023-04-04T09:18:30.194451+00:00","description":"Male characters","id":1,"name":"👨 Male","slug":"male"},{"created_at":"2023-04-04T09:18:30.194451+00:00","description":"Fictional characters","id":6,"name":"📚 Fictional","slug":"fictional"},{"created_at":"2023-04-04T09:18:30.194451+00:00","description":"Characters originating from anime or manga","id":9,"name":"📺 Anime","slug":"anime"},{"created_at":"2023-04-04T09:18:30.194451+00:00","description":"Villainous characters","id":14,"name":"🦹‍♂️ Villain","slug":"villain"},{"created_at":"2023-04-04T09:18:30.194451+00:00","description":"Monstrous characters","id":17,"name":"👹 Monster","slug":"monster"}],"total_tokens":5839,"updated_at":"2026-04-07T12:09:58.831927+00:00","public_chat_count":0}],"displayTotalCharacters":1,"pageableTotalCharacters":1,"pageSize":34,"paginationLimit":10000,"requestId":null,"topCustomTags":[],"totalRelation":"eq","translatedQuery":null,"uniqueTags":[],"sR":{"hash":"[{\"page\":\"1\",\"sort\":\"latest\",\"user_id\":[\"43021b0c-dc9e-41cb-bed6-30649b6083d8\"]},null]","done":true}},"SU--a-q--footerStoreLinksStore":{"device":"unknown"},"app-rail":{},"interestOnboardingGuardStore--a-u--interestOnboardingGuardStore":{}}
