In Japan, "odango" is a nickname for any type of bun hairdo.
 
In North American anime fandom, it's a nickname for a twin-bun hairdo, with or without tails.
 
A particular hairstyle common to anime and manga heroines (particularly [[Chinese Girl|Chinese ones]], although in China the style is called "ox horn") that involves styling one's hair into two spherical buns worn at about 45 degree angles on the side of the head. This can make them look similar to Mickey mouse ears depending on how simplified they're drawn. The buns themselves are often given cloth covers tied with ribbons. The traditional definition of Odango as used by [[The Other Wiki]] only counts them if they have [[Girlish Pigtails|twin tails]] coming down from the buns, but we have broadened the definition to allow the style without the tails.

If the Character isn't Chinese, expect them to be the really innocent, polite type, while the style with [[Twin Tails]] are mostly worn by [[Tsundere]].
 
The style is named after Odangos[[wikipedia:Dango|dango]], a sweet dumpling eaten on a skewer as a Japanese snack, traditionally served at ''hanami'' (cherry blossom and flower viewing [[Festival Episode|festivals]]). Compare [[Horned Hairdo]] and [[Prim and Proper Bun]].
