▲[[Hot Blooded|Hot Bloodedness]] isn't reserved just for people. It can be applied to many things -- hair, for example.
It should be noted that "sideburn" is a [[You Keep Using That Word|slight misnomer]], as
▲[[Hotblooded Sideburns]] are a pair of short, fiery earlocks typically found on passionate [[Super Robot]] pilots and [[Sentai]] team leaders that usually offer up a quick visual indicator of their [[Hot Blooded]] character. While they don't have to be huge (though they usually are), they are ''always'' spiky and noticeable. Usually, they're paired up with some [[Unusual Eyebrows|equally fiery eyebrows]] for added effect.
▲It should be noted that "sideburn" is a [[You Keep Using That Word|slight misnomer]], as [[Hotblooded Sideburns]] are rarely actually ''attached'' to the face anywhere below the ears. They're occasionally referred to as "Nagaideburns" (after famed [[Super Robot Genre]] [[Mangaka]] and former [[Trope Namer]] [[Go Nagai]]) to make this distinction.
Due to its inherent association with [[Super Robot]] shows of the 70s and 80s, this is also a form of [[Seventies Hair|Seventies]] or [[Eighties Hair]], and its appearance on female characters to show how badass they were has nearly died out.

== Anime and Manga ==
* Everyone created by [[Go Nagai]]. ''Everyone''. Yes, even ''[[
** Kouji Kabuto from ''[[
** Tetsuya Tsurugi from ''[[
** Duke Freed from ''[[
** Akira Fudoh from ''[[
** Ryo Utsugi from ''[[
** Hiroshi Shiba from ''[[
* Pretty much every single [[Super Robot]] pilot from the good ol' days. In the 70's, this was mostly because it was a pretty popular hair style, but by the 80's it pretty much became a pre-requisite of being a badass pilot.
** The most iconic example has to be Ryoma of ''[[
** Hyoma Aoi from ''[[
** And the sideburns of Kenichi Go from ''[[
** The third pilot of the Nagahama Trilogy, Kazuya Ryuuzaki from ''[[
* EVERY SINGLE ONE of the five main Bronze Saints in ''[[Saint Seiya]]''. Seiya himself is one of the most iconic hot-blooded characters in anime, and has the bushiest ones. So bushy, they poke from out of his tiara-helmet!
* Every single member of ''[[
* ''[[Ronin Warriors]]'' has a few characters with these. [[The Hero|Ryo]]'s are pretty low key, but [[The Big Guy|Syu/Kento]]'s more than make up for them.
* Gai Daigoji of ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' sports a pair of chops that nearly rival Ryoma's, though clearly as an homage to [[Getter Robo]].
** And of course, Gai probably got the idea from Ken Tenku of [[Show Within a Show]] ''[[Gekiganger 3]]''
* Meito Anizawa (aka Anime Tenchou) from ''[[Lucky Star]]'', who befittingly is a parody of [[Hot
* Not one to let a [[Super Robot]] homage get past them, ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' has [[Wolf Man|Zafira]] sporting these in his human form.
* Hikaru Ichijou from ''[[Macross]]'' (and therefore Rick Hunter from ''[[Robotech]]'') is occasionally drawn with a small pair of these, [[Depending
** His mentor, Roy Focker sports a very strong pair of sideburns, as befits his status as an [[Ace Pilot]].
* Yuji Kaido from ''[[Blue Gender]]''
* Taiki Kudou from ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]''.
** Daisuke Motomiya from ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' looks like he has the start of some potentially epic ones.
* Van from ''[[Gun X Sword]]''
* Subverted in ''[[G Gundam]]'': Argo Gulski has the largest
** Not to say that ''[[G Gundam]]'' doesn't also play this straight (See: Kyoji "[[X Called. They Want Their Y Back.|I stole my hair from the 70s]]" Kasshu and Master Asia). Although it's interesting that the reigning king of [[Hot

* Guy Shishioh from ''The King of Braves: [[
** Pulling on them and [[Rule of Cool|headbanging]], what's more.
* [[Leiji Matsumoto]] is a bit fond of this look. ''Interstella 5555'', for example, has these on about half of the main cast. Susumu/Derek of ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]/[[Star Blazers]]'' doesn't normally have them, but he looks like he does when he puts his helmet on.
* Kagura from ''[[
** Likewise Fuuka Ayase from ''[[Yotsuba&!]]''.
* An omake of ''[[Kekkaishi]]'' features prototype designs for the main character, one of which sports a rather magnificent set of
* Heinkel Wolfe of ''[[Hellsing]]''. Her [[Ambiguous Gender|(or is it his?)]] partner Yumie's might normally be considered too long to be true Nagaideburns but their sheer fieryness, not to mention her <s>psychotic berserker rage</s> [[Hot
* A common trait in characters designed by Kazuhiko Shimamoto. You might recognize him as the character designer for ''[[G Gundam]]'' '''and''' [[Lucky Star|Anime Tenchou]].
* Mikuni from ''[[Duel Masters]]''. They are so noticeable, the third season dub renamed his character "Johnny Coolburns".
* Ryo of ''[[Project ARMS]]''
* In a villainous example, ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'''s Gates sports a pair of these. He seems to believe they afford him some sort of protection.
** {{spoiler|Just before he dies in the final episode, he fiddles with his hair and muses that maybe he had it trimmed a little ''too'' short.}}
* You would think that a story in the firs love genre, specifically [[Hatsukoi Limited]] would not have something like this. You'd be wrong, Gengoro Takei, has these as well as the required Hot Blood.
* Lordgenome from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', who's so [[Badass]] his sideburns point sideways. It's probably because he might have been based off of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Gendo Ikari]], whose sideburns extend all the way to his beard like Lordgenome, and who might or not fit this trope too.
* Everyone in the movie and OAV designs of ''[[Ranma
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Gozaburo Kaiba]]'s [http://photos-060.friendster.com/e1/photos/06/01/92921060/1_917095093l.jpg 'burns]{{Dead link}} are only matched by his [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]] and his [[Badass Moustache]].
* Takashi Kawamura from ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]''. He's not that [[Hot
* Jouji Gouda from ''[[Akane Maniax]]'', though he's an [[Affectionate Parody]] of [[Mazinger Z|Kouji Kabuto]] and Go Nagai characters in general.
* Shin from ''[[Space Carrier Blue Noah]]'' is an early example.
* Lee Bailong from ''[[Shaman King]]''.
* Charles Beams from ''[[Eureka Seven]]''.
* Impulsive, tomboyish Utena from ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' has them; see [http://www.animeresimleri.com/img1213.htm this image], for example.
* [[Kunio Okawara]] in [[Gundam Sousei]] has a mean pair. He's not, however, [[The Stoic|even closely comparable]] to [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] in his hot-bloodedness, and Tomino is [[Bald of Awesome|entirely bald]].
== Comic Books ==
* Pretty much everyone in ''[[Elf Quest]]''. This might just be the time period (the original series was published 1978-1984), or it might being Wendy Pini being unable to draw the bases of those huge elfy ears; the few characters from the original series that DON'T have these (Skywise, Winnowill) instead have some soft of accessory hiding that particular area.
** Elquest's art style (especially Siege at Blue Mountain), owes a lot to ''Dagger of Kamui'' (which was a manga contemporary with Nagai's heyday, though not drawn by him). SABM, also has some of the biggest honking 'burns in series history. Pini must like the look though, her early ''Law and Chaos'' Elric work has these on Moonglum (Elric not so much, though she did draw him with a goatee for a few scenes).
* Though it was [[Depending
** Mr. Muttonchops himself, [[Wolverine Publicity|Wolverine]] is pretty hotblooded, to boot.
* [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Scrooge McDuck]]!
** Ludwig Von Drake, [[Donald Duck]]'s other uncle, has a pair of nice ones too. Donald himself sports a pair in the short ''Crazy Over Daisy''.
* Teen Titans member Jericho sported really long sideburns.
* Ayameko/Cure Jasmine from ''[[

* In all his official portraits (rumoured to be pretty accurate in appearance, [[Fake Ultimate Hero|if not the situation]]) COMMISSAR [[Ciaphas Cain]], [[Memetic Mutation|HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!]] always has a pair of pretty impressive 'burns.▼
** And quite fitting, him being largely an [[Expy]] of Harry [[Flashman]], a fictional ''Victorian'' officer, given that Victorian times were the peak of the 'burns popularity. On the other hand, Cain isn't in the least bit hotblooded (at least [[Slave to PR|officially]]), being in fact a calm, calculating [[Guile Hero]]. ▼
== Live Action TV ==▼
* The Tenth Doctor from ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''.▼
* Neelix and pretty much any male adult Talaxian in ''[[Star Trek Voyager]]''.▼

▲* Ayameko/Cure Jasmine from ''[[Pretty Cure Perfume Preppy (Fanfic)|Pretty Cure Perfume Preppy]]''.
▲* In the ''[[Christian Humber Reloaded (Fanfic)|Christian Humber Reloaded]]'' webcomic, Vash's human form has these.

== Video Games ==
Line 105 ⟶ 98:
** Kazuma Kaneko seems to have some giant sideburn fetish or something. His character designs for the older ''[[Persona]]'' games and ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]'' have some pretty large ones. Including Ellie and Ulala... not even the women are spared.
** In fact, one possible conversation while recruiting demons has one personality type ask if he could pull off Raidou's awesome sideburns to impress girls.
* ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' subverts it twice with [[Child Soldiers|teenage soldier]] Leona Heidern and [[Mighty Glacier]] Maxima. The former is an [[Sugar and Ice Personality|emotionally]] [[Emotionless Girl|repressed]] [[Little Miss Badass]]. The latter is a [[The Stoic|stoic]], well-mannered [[Cyborg]], [[The Lancer]] and [[Foil]] to his [[Jerkass]] [[Heterosexual Life Partners|partner]] [[Anti
* ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'s'' Adell has a pair large enough to obscure his ears entirely, {{spoiler|probably to hide the fact that they're pointed}}.
* Played for humor in one ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' [[Yonkoma]] where [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji]] is given sideburns by Ryoma in an attempt to make him look tougher.
** Did it look anything like [http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/2500/shinjimanlyjf9.jpg this]?

* Quite a few characters in ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' have these, including Yukimura, Keiji, and Toshiie. The real winner is Hideyoshi, though: he has sideburns ''on top of his sideburns''.

** There are a lot more than that. There are at least seven who have them in the series. This includes girls and [[Elite Beat Agents|Agent J]].
*** Though really, it's to be expected, considering so much of this series is a blatant, campy shoutout to the very ''concept'' of hot-bloodedness.

* Endou from ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'' achieves this effect with two long locks of hair, one hanging down each side of his head in front of his ears. Each one curves forward a bit before ending in a spike. They're not exactly sideburns, though, in that they seem to only be attached to his head at around forehead height, since they flap around a lot whenever he moves.
** Another example is Rococo, whose locks curve around behind and under his ears, then end in a spike that somehow points ''up'' towards his eyes.
