Aang

Aang is a fictional character and the protagonist of Avatar: The Last Airbender, an American animated series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. He is the Avatar—the current incarnation of a spiritual role that reconciles and balances the world's four bending arts: air, water, earth, and fire. Voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen, Aang belongs to the Air Nomads and is the last surviving airbender following the Fire Nation's genocide in the series' backstory. The Avatar cycle alternates among the four nations, so Aang's reincarnation is part of a long lineage.
