{{examples}}

* ''[[Bleach]]'': Kyoraku Shunsui. Isshin Kurosaki as well.

* Lord Genome from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' has a ''spiral-shaped'' carpet.

* Blackbeard in ''[[One Piece]]'' is pretty much the epitome of Type 2.

* France in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia|Hetalia]]'' is the only character with body hair when naked, to emphasize his lecherous tendencies.

* In an episode of the ''[[Dirty Pair]]'' TV Series, Yuri and Kei spend an episode debating whether their male co-agent has chest hair or not, and how 'disgusting' chest hair is. At the end of the episode, he reveals {{spoiler|he has no chest hair}}.

* Mr. Satan of ''[[Dragon Ball]]''.

 

== Comic Books ==

* Beast Boy AKA Changeling in ''[[The New Teen Titans]]'' when George Perez drew him.

* [[Flex Mentallo]], anyone?

 

== Film - Animated ==

* Gaston's [[Villain Song]] in ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' has the line "[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|And every last]] inch of me's covered with hair!" sung as he rips open his shirt. In the theatrical release, it was subverted in that there wasn't much there. (Chest hair is remarkably difficult to animate unless you stylize it into a solid mat like Zangief's, which wouldn't've worked here.)

 

== Film - Live-Action ==

* [[Sean Connery]] and Pierce Brosnan in [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] films, and in ''[[Zardoz]]''.

** Lampshaded in ''[[You Only Live Twice]]'' when the Japanese massage girls are giggling over Bond's hairy chest.

{{quote|'''Bond:''' Japanese proverb say, 'Bird never make nest in bare tree'.}}

* [[Star Trek|Leonard Nimoy]].

* [[Eli Roth]], particularly as the [http://13.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp60u7eFMH1qa0z8lo1_400.jpg Bear] [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xIIZH3vQ75I/SvBYgILdnLI/AAAAAAAAA7k/LpojhOoQ498/s400/bear+jew.jpg Jew].

** Note that the ad slogan points out how much less fashionable male body hair has become since [[The Seventies]].

* [[Chuck Norris]] proudly displays one during the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLO1YIWQuXE climactic fight] with [[Bruce Lee]] in ''[[Way of the Dragon]]''. It becomes a liability for him, though, as Bruce is able to grab onto it as a combat move.

* Esau in [[The Bible]].

 

* Tom Selleck in ''[[Magnum, P.I.]]'' This was lampshaded in a 2007 issue of [[World Wrestling Entertainment]] Magazine, in a column where Candice Michelle and Kelly Kelly were discussing whether they found hairy chests on men attractive. Both women agreed that they weren't, but then Candice remarked that they were considered quite attractive when ''Magnum P.I.'' was on the air. (This point was lost on Kelly, since she had never even heard of the show.)

* Jim Halpert of all people in ''[[The Office]]'' was shown to have an incredibly hairy chest. and there was much rejoicing. As did [[Steve Carell]] in an earlier episode.

* Lee Majors as Heath Barkley in ''The Big Valley''.

* ''[[Trailer Park Boys]]'': Randy, the [[Walking Shirtless Scene|always shirtless]] assistant is a Type 2.

* ''[[Dirty Jobs]]'': Mike Rowe is also a Type 1.

* Don Draper of ''[[Mad Men]]''.

** In [[Star Trek: The Original Series|the original series]], Spock's one and only [[Shirtless Scene]] in "Patterns of Force" reveals a good deal of chest hair. It's made more obvious by the contrast with Kirk's smooth and hairless chest.

* In the Chilean [[Soap Opera]] ''Marron Glace: El Regreso'', [[Supreme Chef]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Pierre]] gains a rival in Ciro, who has a ''huge'' carpet of chest hair and is insanely proud of it. {{spoiler|It's a fake, though.}}

** Another member of the nerd Trio, Jonathan, complains of Buffy grabbing his chest hair.

{{quote|'''Buffy:''' Jonathan? [beat] You have chest hair?}}

* Jayne Cobb in ''[[Firefly]]''.

 

== Music ==

* [[Blur (band)|Damon Albarn]], which is a [http://i55.tinypic.com/muxzih.jpg great] [http://i54.tinypic.com/x6bplt.jpg contrast] to his fairly girly face.

* [[Michael Bolton]] in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv5vMJKBAbo "Said I Loved You But I Lied."] His shirt is open down to three buttons, showing off his chest hair [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|while he sings from the top of a goddamned mountain and white horses run through fire on the beach below him]].

 

== Professional Wrestling ==

* Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall rocked a hairy chest back in the day, as he was, of course "oozing machismo, mang" Also, [[Shawn Michaels]] had one in the mid-late 1990s, and Albert, who might as well be a real life Wolverine in the hairy chest department. Albert would often get chants of "Shave your back!" from the crowd.

 

== Video Games ==

* [[Depraved Bisexual|Vamp]] in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' has [[Mr. Fanservice|type one]] of these, distinguishing from and adding to the subtext between him and his [[Bishonen]] opponent, Raiden.

* ''[[Tekken]]'': Marduk is the only male character by default to have chest hair in the games, a departure from all of the other guys, who look like they have waxed chests.

** In Silver's case, this is an odd example of the trope, since he's the youngest male hedgehog in the cast - how many 14 year-olds do you know with that much chest hair?

*** [[Furry Reminder|He is a hedgehog.]] [[MST3K Mantra|Don't think about it too hard.]]

* Yangus is a type 2 in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''.

* Varric from ''[[Dragon Age II]]''. Type 1 variety. This is frequently commented upon by the other characters; Fenris mentions that the [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|traditional dwarven beard]] seems to have fallen onto his chest.

 

== Web Comics ==

* ''[[Scandinavia and The World]]'''s Canada: [http://satwcomic.com/canada-the-bishie The hairiest Bishonen EVER].

 

 

== Western Animation ==
