*** [[Our Elves Are Better|He's an elf. He can handle it.]]
** Most (if not all) elves in The Lord of the Rings movie are this.
*** And in new pictures, so's [[Aidan Turner]] as a DWARF. [http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CZrNXhvdsCQ/Th9FfiuKZLI/AAAAAAAAJrk/lBtb3pmEMFQ/s400/kili-aidan.jpg&imgrefurl=http://allthingsrarmitage.blogspot.com/2011/07/in-anticipation-of-thorin-friday-will.html&usg=__R68wafwmhZniXxIw8V2WcLxIz5I=&h=224&w=196&sz=50&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=w3RgYpheWh5gVM:&tbnh=104&tbnw=90&ei=8v0mTuntGZCqrAe_rPi-CQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dkili%2Baiden%2Bturner%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1R2TSEE_enGB374%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D547%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&page=1&ndsp=25&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:0&tx=71&ty=42&biw=1280&bih=547 Seriously].
* ''[[The Man in the Iron Mask (1998 film)|The Man in the Iron Mask]]'': [[Leonardo DiCaprio|Philippe/Louis]].
* ''[[Don Juan Demarco]]'': The eponymous character, played by [[Johnny Depp]].
* Yoshi in ''[[Bunraku]]'' fits this trope to a T. Not surprising, since he's played by [[Gackt]].
Line 194:
 
== Music ==
* Anthony Keidis from the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]], although he's recently cut it short.
* [[Vocaloid|Vocaloid2]]: [http://momo222.unblog.fr/files/2009/04/gakupo124.jpg Kamui Gakupo], whose voice is sampled from [[Gackt]]. Also, Kaito is sometimes depicted in fanart with a long mullet tied into a ponytail, especially when he's drawn in the same samurai-style as Gakupo.
** Len can also count, seeing as its long enough to put in a short ponytail, and there's plenty of fanart depicting him as a [[Pretty Boy]].
* In [[The Eighties]], there was [http://www.liquid-blue.com/hotnews/images/NelsonBrothers90s-2.jpg Nelson].
* [[The Beatles]]
** Particularly John when he had shoulder length hair and cleanshaven. As seen in ''[[Let It Be]]''.
* Michael Kiske during his time in [[Helloween]], as seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aPaKsUfUEs here].

Line 215:
 
== Theater ==
* ''[[Tanz der Vampire]]'': Herbert
 
 
Line 223:
** Even since the beginning--[[Final Fantasy I|Red Mage's]] and White Wizard's original sprites were long haired pretty boys (okay, we can't tell if they're pretty, precisely - or guys, for that matter - but it's ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' in the [[Yoshitaka Amano]] era. Odds are good that they are).
*** Warrior of Light becomes one in ''[[Dissidia]]'', which was based on Amano's art for the Warrior class.
** ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' has [[The Emperor]] and his [[Rapunzel Hair]]. Firion counts as well, [[Depending on the Artist|when he's given longer hair]].
** ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' has the [[Bishonen|ever]]-[[White-Haired Pretty Boy|so]]-[[Hair Decorations|pretty]] [[The Hero|Cecil]] (who is [[Depending on the Artist|sometimes drawn with short hair, but rarely]]). In the sequel, his hair's yet longer...but still not as long as [[The Lancer|Kain]], with his long, straight, lovely blond hair.
** ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' has [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] [[The Gambler|Setzer]], and [[Chivalrous Pervert]] [[Hair of Gold|Edgar]].
** ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'': [[Ominous Latin Chanting|Veni, veni, venias! Ne me mori facias!]] [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Sephiroth!]] Let's not forget Vincent Valentine, though.
*** Kadaj and Yazoo from ''[[Advent Children]]'' take after Sephiroth.
** ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' has Irvine. Save a horse, ride a cowboy, ''indeed.'' Laguna too, when he was younger.
** ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' has Kuja, bishiest of all.
** ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' has Seymour Guado (although how pretty he is may be subject to debate).
** ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' has Larsa and Vayne Solidor, and Al-Cid Margrace.
** ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' ''nearly'' avoids the trope, but Cid and Rygdea keep the tradition alive.
* ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'': The boss Flea. The chest padding in the game art doesn't help.
* ''[[Super Punch Out]]'': Kabuki dancing boxer Heike Kagero (long ''purple'' hair, even).
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'': Xehanort, Xemnas, "Ansem", Saix, Marluxia, Riku, Vexen... Yeah, ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' is the master of Long Haired [[Bishonen|hotties]].
* ''[[Street Fighter]]'': Vega
** Ken too, especially in the [[Street Fighter Alpha|Alpha]] series.
** Alex, also. 'Dat ponytail.
Line 242:
* ''[[Samurai Shodown]]'': [[Incurable Cough of Death|Ukyo Tachibana]].
* ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'': Several examples, most notably Zhang He and Zhou Yu.
** There's also Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Ling Tong and Jiang Wei.
* ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'': we have Ishida Mitsunari, Akechi Mitsuhide and Sasaki Kojiro.
* ''[[Warriors Orochi]]'': Taigong Wang, if he wore it loose that is.
* ''[[Ōkami|Okami]]'': {{spoiler|Waka}} {{spoiler|How does he keep it under that hat?}}
* ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'': Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Keiji. Sanada Yukimura is of the rat-tail variety, but qualifies when he lets it down.
* ''[[Infinite Space]]'': A few male characters (including the main character), most notably Lord Roth, who has waist-length hair.
* ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'': Ezio. His hair is usually in a ponytail, but does reach his shoulders. And ''damn'', is he a [[Even the Guys Want Him|pretty boy]].
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'': Kafei
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'': Lots, most notably Arthas Menethil and Kael'thas Sunstrider.
* ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'': [[Badass Long Hair|Yuri Lowell]], plus [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Duke]].
Line 255:
* ''[[.hack GU Games|.hack//G.U.]]'' games: Endrance, crossing into [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]] territory. Also, Kuhn.
* ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'': Luke, before [[Important Haircut|his haircut]], {{spoiler|[[Cloning Blues|his original]]}} Asch, and Jade. Also Van and Peony.
* ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' has been fond of this lately. Julius and Jin come to mind.
* ''[[King of Fighters]]'': Duo Lon.
* ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'': Raiden doesn't initially come off as this, but take away his hat and cloak, and you're left with a rather [http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/File:Raiden_Traje_alter.jpg pretty man with a glorious mane of white hair].
Line 269:
* ''[[Monsterful]]'': Jacob Bottom Button, the Rag doll boy.
* ''[[Girl Genius]]'': Maxim, who was originally meant to be nothing more than a joke sketch of a [[Pretty Boy]] [[Frankenstein's Monster|Jagermonster]].
* ''[[Paradis]]'' has angels as this, specifically Gabriel.
* ''[[A Broken Winter]]'': While both Kuroda and Reisen have very long hair, Reisen lets his fly in true pretty-boy style. Kuroda keeps his in a neat tail.
* Erik of ''[[Ménage à 3]]''.
