[[Hot-Blooded|Hot Bloodedness]] isn't reserved just for people. It can be applied to many ~~things -- hair~~, for example.

[[Hot-Blooded|Hot Bloodedness]] isn't reserved just for people. It can be applied to many things—hair, for example.

[[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.

Line 41:

** 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 [[Hotblooded Sideburns]] and eyebrows, but is the calmest cast member.

** 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:

* 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 [[Hotblooded Sideburns]].

* 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 119:

* 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:~~andrew3_2013~~.jpg|Andrew]] of ''[[Vanguard Bandits]]'' has some pretty nice sideburns of his own. But the real master of the Go Nagai style here is the mighty [[media:~~logan3_1403~~.jpg|Duke Logan]].

* 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.
