Stan Marsh (Anime)

Stanley "Stan" Marsh (マーシュ"スタン"スタンリー, Māshu "Sutan" Sutanrī) , is one of the protagonists of the japanese animated series, South Park. He is an 10 year old boy who lives in the town of South Park, Colorado. He's Kyle Broflovski's best friend and the love interest of Wendy Testaburger. He is voiced by Rie Kugimiya (who voiced Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist and Taiga Aisaka from Toradora!). 
== Appearance ==
Stan is mostly shown wearing a brown jacket with a red collar, a blue hat with a red puffball and rim, and blue jeans. Under his jacket, he either wears a red and blue baseball shirt or a white T-shirt/v-neck.
== Personality ==
Stan is probably the most relatable of the four boys. He has a deadpan sense of humor and frequently finds himself frustrated with the stupidity of his father and the general adult population. Several episodes show him learning how the adult world works and about 90% of the time he winds up walking away in total disbelief of said adult's inane logic. Stan is an avid animal lover, as he has a fondness for most animals, especially whales and dolphins, he even sets out to save them from the Japanese. He was willing to give up eating meat after finding out that veal was made from tortured calves.
=== Criminal record ===
Stan can be seen doing occassional criminal acts for the comedic and sometimes lightly controversial nature of the show. Although along with his tender personality and clear morals, he still stays on the side of good, and often commits crimes with a low, albiet present mitagating factor, or unintentionally. Despite Kenny being arguably the most heroic of the four (especially as Mysterion), he and Kyle are the only ones who cannot be considered villains.
* Attempted murder:- Stan and Kyle tied Cartman to a cross with the intent to kill him in the episode "Spontaneous Combustion", but Cartman survived due to all of the fat in his body, and instead of being dead, he was severely malnutritioned. Doing this would consider Stan as guilty of Torture.
* Murder: Murdering zombies normally counts as heroism, but he did not realize that all he had to do was kill Zombie Kenny.
* Firearm offenses: Stan is guilty of using a gun in a threatening manner, this time with little mitagating factors, as he was just trying to get away with defecating in the urinal to avoid missing out on recess. He was punished for this by Mr. Mackey.
* Framing: In "Pre-School", he is responsible for provoking Trent Boyett into becoming a villain, by framing him for arson and subsequently getting him sent to juvenile detention. Now that the boys are in 4th grade, Trent is back, and appears as the main antagonist of the episode, only for being framed for another arson that Cartman committed once more, and Trent is undeservingly miscarried by justice back to juvy, as Stan and the boys show no remorse. Also guilty of framing Butters for self-performed unlicensed liposuction surgery.
* Legal offenses: Stan is guilty of filing a false police report in "The Wacky Molestation Adventure" for domestic violence, for the selfish intent of getting parental authority out of his life, though he, and all the other kids in South Park later show remorse for this.
* Attempted unlicensed surgery: Tries to remove Cartman's kidney, though this was to give Kyle a healthy one, because Cartman's was the only kidney compatible with Kyle's but he wouldn't give it. Regardless, this is a crime and Stan obviously did not use peaceful methods to attempt to save Kyle from Miss Information.
* Unlicensed surgery: He, Kyle, and Cartman performed unlicensed liposuction surgery on Butters after their plot to earn money in the same way Jared Fogle did, in "Jared Has Aids", failed.
* Indecent exposure: In "Butterballs", he filmed a music video called "Jackin' It In San Diego" where he danced naked in the San Diego public, though this was to film a music video and it was a successful entertainment project, so he wasn't arrested since it amused people. He does this again in "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining", for spreading the word of how horrible ziplining is and receiving overwhelming success during his activism.
* Underage smoking: Minor crime. He was grounded for it in the episode "Butt Out".
* Unlicensed driving: Though since Stan somehow is able to drive, all instances of underage driving were harmless. In fact, he uses his driving skills to pilot a sleigh in "Red Sleigh Down" on a quest to save Santa.
* Breaking and entering: He steals animals with the intention of saving them, normally not with malicious intentions: Baby cows in "Fun with Veal", and an orca in "Free Willzyx".
* Piracy: A new law in "Christian Rock Hard" that Stan was unaware about should prevent him from downloading songs. Obviously this crime shouldn't count, as he never knew it existed, and wouldn't be expected to.
* Destruction of property: Assists in the destruction of Cartman's electronics in "Skank Hunt". This was only for believing that Cartman was the infamous cyberbully SkankHunt42, and he was sorry for what he did after finding out Cartman wasn't SkankHunt42.
== Trivia ==
* Stan has Asthma. 
* Stan is the only one of the four who has never contracted a terminal illness.
