▲[[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.
{{examples|pre=characters with }}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Everyone created by [[Go Nagai]]. ''Everyone''. Yes, even ''[[Cutey Honey]]''.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
** Duke Freed from ''[[UFO Robo Grendizer]]''.
** Akira Fudoh from ''[[Devilman]]''. And then his ''[[Violence Jack]]'' incarnation.
** Ryo Utsugi from ''[[
** Hiroshi Shiba from ''[[Kotetsu Jeeg]]'' and Kenji from the sequel.
* 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.
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
** 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-Blooded|Hot Bloodedness]] himself is conspicuously ''missing'' such epic sideburns.
* Jamil Neate, the Amuro/Char/Bright [[Composite Character]] from ''[[After War Gundam X|Gundam X]]'', has a rather impressive set of sideburns himself. He's kind of a subversion, as he's more [[The Stoic]] than [[Hot-Blooded]]. {{spoiler|Except when he overcomes his piloting phobia and returns to the battlefield.}}
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* Kagura from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', despite not being so [[Hot-Blooded]], is a [[Boisterous Bruiser|Boisterous]] [[Bokukko|Tomboy]] that sports a pair of Nagaideburns.
** 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-Blooded|Hot Bloodedness]], are more than enough to make them count.
* 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]].
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* 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 ½]]''. While the manga art gives them only thin lines to separate the ear from the cheek, and Atsuko Nakajima's early anime designs made them slightly more noticeable, her revamped designs for later seasons, movies, and [[
* [[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-Blooded]] tho, mostly a [[Nice Guy]]... [[Split Personality|most of the time.]]
* Jouji Gouda from ''[[Akane Maniax]]'', though he's an [[Affectionate Parody]] of [[Mazinger Z|Kouji Kabuto]] and Go Nagai characters in general.
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
* 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 ==
Line 78 ⟶ 76:
* Teen Titans member Jericho sported really long sideburns.
== Literature ==▼
* 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]]''.▼
* Neelix and pretty much any male adult Talaxian in ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''.▼
▲== Fan Fiction ==
* Ayameko/Cure Jasmine from ''[[Pretty Cure Perfume Preppy]]''.
* In the ''[[Christian Humber Reloaded]]'' webcomic, Vash's human form has these.
== Film ==
Line 99 ⟶ 85:
* Eddie from ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]''.

== Video Games ==
Line 109 ⟶ 102:
* 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]?
*** Kinda. This is the strip: [http://www.dra-mata.com/manga/4koma/old/alpha30.jpg\]{{Dead link}}.
* Xaldin from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' has some rather large sideburns. Parodied to hell and back in [[Those Lacking Spines|this]] legendary fic.
{{quote|He is easily recognized by his muscular frame, his sharp blue eyes, his braids (don't ever call them dreadlocks; do you know what you have to do to your hair to get dreadlocks?), but most people instead choose to pick him out by his sideburns, which are rumored to think and act independently of him.}}
* 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''.
* ''[[
* Ippongi Ryuuta and Doumeki Kai from ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]]'' sport some magnificent, [[Hot-Blooded]] 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]].
Line 119 ⟶ 112:
* Due to a bit of [[Off-Model]], one of Arcueid's sprites in ''[[Tsukihime]]'' has Nagaideburns and (more obviously) Nagaibrows. It made at least one troper do a [[Double Take]] when he saw it.
* ''[[Rival Schools]]'' has Hayato [[Hot-Blooded|Nekketsu]] (yes, his [[Meaningful Name|last name means ''HOT BLOODED'']]) who sports quite an impressive pair of Nagaideburns.
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Resident Sexist Pig]] Ninja [[media:
* 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.
== Web Comics ==
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname|Bro]] in ''[[Homestuck]]'' sports these, along with [[Cool Shades]], [[Katanas Are Just Better|a katana]], and one of the most [[Crazy Awesome]] STRIFE techniques [[Teleport Spam|ever]] [[Marionette Master|unleashed.]]
** Bro's {{spoiler|Alpha iteration Dirk Strider}} also sports these but [[Subverted Trope|subverts]] the [[Hot-Blooded]] part.
Line 130 ⟶ 122:
* Jessie, Ed's sister, sports a [http://betweenfailures.com/2007/05/19/30-sibling-3-sib-harder/ classic set] in [[Between Failures]].
* Visarah from ''[[Uncreation]]'' has HUGE [[Getter Robo|Ryoma]]-style chops... and she's a woman.
** Definitely a [[Shout-Out]], given the ''[[
* Johnny Yamamoto of [[Titanzer]] sports the customary 'burns, along with a [[Eighties Hair|hero mullet]].
* Jason from ''[[Remus]]'' has these, although he seems to be lacking a bit in the [[Hot-Blooded]] department.
== Web Original ==
Line 139 ⟶ 130:
* Tim/{{spoiler|Masky}} of ''[[Marble Hornets]]'' sports killer sideburns.
* Whenever Doug decides to grow his hair out some more, [[The Nostalgia Critic]] has a good set of these.
== Western Animation ==
Line 151 ⟶ 141:
== Real Life ==
* US Presidents [[Martin Van Buren]], and to a lesser extent, [[Chester A. Arthur]].
* [[media:
** For that matter, [[wikipedia:Charles Darwin|Darwin himself]] had a nice pair too.
* [[wikipedia:File:Elvis Presley 1970.jpg|Elvis Presley]]
* German landscape painter [[wikipedia:Caspar David Friedrich|Caspar David Friederich]] sported a ''ginormous'' pair of sideburns.
* French stateman [[wikipedia:Jules Ferry|Jules Ferry]]
* Three words: [[Isaac Asimov|Isaac.
* Sideburns were actually named after Union General [[wikipedia:Ambrose Burnside|Ambrose Burnside]], who is remembered for two things: his absurd sideburns, and the wholesale slaughter of his own men in the one battle he commanded.
* Mungo Jerry
* Jacques Offenbach, best known for writing the "Infernal Gallop" AKA Can Can music, had a nice pair of muttonchops (and a moustache) after going through a copule of really creepy looking phases. [[wikipedia:Jacques Offenbach|The page]] also features some other men with nice 'burns.
