It’s a time-honored tradition of any story that introduces ghosts. There will always be at least one character who doesn’t believe they’re real. This will hold true whether the universe doesn’t have any ghosts in it or not. There will always be a character somewhere who thinks they’re not actually real.
Some characters are written this way to bring all the other characters back to reality and help them focus. Others are written this way just to be proven wrong – the skeptic that’s suddenly forced to confront the thing they’ve always claimed isn’t real.
10 Seto Kaiba Refuses To Believe In Ghosts Or Reincarnation (Yu-Gi-Oh!)

And she also has a problem believing in anything supernatural. It starts out simple, with her thinking magical girls can’t fly because of physics. Over time, she stops believing in anything supernatural. Finally, when she makes an appearance in Fate/Grand Order, she points out she doesn’t believe ghosts could possibly exist, despite the fact that all the Servants are literally ghosts.

But instead, he winds up working with Haruhi Suzumiya and gets drawn into her club, the SOS Brigade. Haruhi’s goal is to find all the elements of the supernatural, none of which Kyon believes in.

7 Allen Walker Fights Demons But Refuses To Believe In Ghosts (D.Gray-man)
Allen is the lead protagonist of D.Gray-man, a series that doesn’t get nearly enough respect. He spent years training to become an exorcist, but in this world, that’s more like fighting demons than anything else. Strangely enough, despite Allen’s job being to fight demons, he doesn’t believe ghosts are actually a thing. In fairness, this is somewhat plausible. Just because one thing is true doesn’t mean the other is. However, it’s a bit ridiculous that this is where he chooses to draw his line.

Though they go on multiple cases throughout the anime, each time Satsuki tries to blame it on something else over and over again.

3 Takeo Kumagami Doesn’t Believe In Ghosts But Is Terrified Of Them (Patlabor)
Lieutenant Takeo Kumagami replaces Kanuka Clancy in the middle of Patlabor. Much like Kanuka, she takes her job completely seriously which makes her stand out a bit compared to the rest of the Special Vehicles Unit, Divison 2.
But one thing that does make her fit in somewhat is her reaction to ghosts. She staunchly refuses to believe they exist. However, she is also terrified that they might actually be real, thanks to her father telling her ghost stories at night. She’s even known to start screaming if she thinks she actually sees any ghosts.
2 Karin Kurosaki Completely Ignores Ghosts And Hopes They’ll Go Away (Bleach)
Karin Kurosaki is just like the rest of the family. She’s perfectly capable of seeing ghosts, and, much like Ichigo, she’s frequently bothered by them. But unlike Ichigo, she doesn’t want to deal with them in the least. She goes out of her way to completely ignore them, to the point that even the ghosts leave her alone. Of course, in a universe like Bleach‘s, she isn’t allowed to maintain this mindset the entire series, but for quite a while she holds firm that ghosts aren’t “real,” whether she can see them or not.

He’s seen explosions that could vaporize mountains and watched genetically engineered beings fight against aliens. He even lives with Majin Buu, but Hercule still thinks anything supernatural is just some kind of trick.
