Line 36:
* Several male ninjas in ''[[Naruto]]'' have long hair, noticeably Jiraiya (who uses it like a weapon), Orochimaru, Shikamaru, Neji, Deidara, Inoichi and Itachi. After the timeskip, Choji has this too.
* Shiryu in ''[[Saint Seiya]]''.
** ...and [[Split Personality|Saga]] and [[The Man Behind the Man|Kanon]] and [[Everybody Hates Hades|Hades]] and [[A God Am I|Shaka]] and [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Milo]] and [[An Ice Person|Camus]] and [[Nice Guy|Aldebaran]] and [[Psychic Powers|Mu]] and [[Gorgeous George|Aphrodite]] and [[The Puppet Masters|Minos]] and [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|Shion]]...although, yes, Shiryu is the only one of the main [[Five-Man Band]] to have long hair.
* Kanda from ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' ''is'' this trope, to [[Bishonen|the point]] where he [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|looks like a girl]]. General Cross also has long, flowy hair.
** Also Tyki Mikk in later chapters, even though he eventually cuts it back short.
Line 62:
* Both Goki and [[Big Bad|Gessho]] from ''[[Kagerou Nostalgia]]'' have very long, flowing hair. The former's a lethal soldier and [[Blade on a Stick]] user; the latter's an ungodly powerful demonic entity who [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb-stomps]] the heroes with ease.
* In ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]'' this trope is implemented in an interesting way with the humanoid forms of shikigami. You see, the length of a shikigami's hair is actually an indicator of how powerful they are, so the most badass ones end up with [[Rapunzel Hair]].
* Tomoyo from ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''.
* Homura from ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' with her epic [[Hair Flip]]s.
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': Ranma Saotome, back when he had a long ponytail and was training in China. He trades it in for a badass [[Braids of Action|Braid Of Action]] later on.
Line 113:
* ''[[Star Wars]]'': Qui-Gon Jinn.
* Both [[Thor (film)|Thor]] and [[Badass Grandpa|Odin]].
** [[The Avengers (film)|Loki]] too, after he [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]
* Another [[Action Girl]] example: Maid Marian in ''[[Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves]]'' fights Robin in hand to hand combat, and then is shown to have waist-length curly hair.
* Antonio Banderas in ''[[Desperado]]'' and ''[[Once Upon a Time In Mexico]]''.
Line 172:
== Tabletop Games ==
 
* Surprisingly prevalent in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'':
** The [[God-Emperor]] of Mankind.
** Eldrad Ulthran, Chief Farseer of Craftworld Ulthwe.
Line 184:
** Soma Cruz
* Some ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' protagonists fit into this, although it's mostly villains, with [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]] probably being the most famous example.
* Riku from [[Kingdom Hearts]] started as [[The Rival]] who is a [[Face Heel Turn|good guy who explored villainy]], then was possessed by the big bad and had some [[Fighting From the Inside]], then had an another side another story, then [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] and turns into a mysterious protector and THEN becomes the awesome [[The Lancer|lancer]]. Oh and he has long hair.
* Zero from ''[[Mega Man X]]'' and ''[[Mega Man Zero|Zero]]''. No matter what body he has, it is ''always'' there.
** And later would be ''[[Mega Man ZX]]'s'' Girouette (Zero's [[Expy]]) and Vent (as of ''ZX Advent'').
Line 218:
* Brock Samson of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' wears his hair long.
** Hank Venture [[Invoked Trope|wishes he was a badass]], and has grown his hair out during the fourth season.
** Agent 21 has long hair and [[Took a Level Inin Badass]], but he had long hair before that, and it's normally covered by his uniform anyway, so I'm not sure it counts.
* [[Samurai Jack]] has very long hair that he keeps bundled up into a samurai's topknot. When it comes undone, you are about to have an [[Curb Stomp Battle|asswhooping]].
* Chase Young of ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]''.
