Specific case of [[Anime Hair]], that happens often in [[Shonen]] series. One or more of the characters, usually a protagonist, have a specific
This is the kind of hairstyle that people suffering from [[Public Medium Ignorance]] think all male anime characters have. The [[Distaff Counterpart]] stereotype for female anime characters is [[Rapunzel Hair]], or [[Twin Tails]].
{{examples}}
▲== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' has the Saiyans, especially Goku in his "base" (non Super Saiyan) form. [[Never Live It Down|Everyone else is mostly normal]]. There's some guys in mohawks, but that's it.
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' - while Kamina's hair is this trope played straight, Simon is an interesting example - his hairstyle becomes more and more like this each time he [[Took a Level
* ''[[Naruto]]'', and a few his friends, like Kiba.
* ''[[Bleach]]''.
Line 20:
* Monkey D. Luffy from ''[[One Piece]]'', who can hide it when he wears his [[Nice Hat|straw hat]].
** Aside from never having hat hair, Luffy's hair is actually pretty normal looking.
* Jotaro Kujo from ''[[
** An even better example is Joseph Joestar, his grandfather. When he was young, that is.
* Both Tetsuya Tsurugi and Kouji Kabuto from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' and ''[[Great Mazinger]]''.
Line 31:
* Practically a ''staple'' of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' universe:
** Yugi/Yami from first ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' - yes, his hair just looks like an eccentric hairstyle... until it's hinted it's natural.
*** To the point where flashbacks show baby Yami as having the same hairstyle. In Ancient Egypt. Meanwhile, his dad has straight, black hair like a normal Egyptian. Makes you wonder what his mom looks like.
*** Oh she had perfectly normal, long black hair, for the single panel of the manga that she appears in.
** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|GX]]'' has many of them - Manjoume, Sho, Amon and Jim to name a few. Protagonist Judai actually averts this with a hairstyle that's plausible in real life.
** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|5D's]]'' - Yusei (pictured above), possibly one man with weirder hairstyle than Yugi. There's a reason he's called [[Fan Nickname|'Crabhead']] among the fandom. Jack keeps boasting that he's a King and then take into account his hair looks like a crown.
Line 46:
* Spike Spiegel in ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' has hair that sticks out all over the place, but it's more curly than spiky. (Faye at one point describes it as "fluffy".)
** As does his ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' counterpart, Mugen.
* The Hitachiin twins in ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]''. Seems to be intentionally [[Invoked]] by the
** This fits better for the anime. Their hair looks much more natural and isn't quite as poofed out in the manga, although it's obvious they usually style it with hair gel.
* In [[Blade of the Immortal]], which is fairly realistic and features normal haircuts for almost all of the main and supporting characters, [[Anti-Villain]] Magatsu Taito looks like he's carrying a porcupine on his head. We're talking foot-long spikes. It doesn't go unnoticed. At one point, somebody mentions [[In-Universe]] that hair like that will be [[Genre Savvy|popular in a couple hundred years]].
Line 55:
* Another [[Kid Hero|Jin]], this time from ''[[Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh]]'', has this. Apart from his two other classmates Akira and [[The Slacker|Yoppa]], the rest of the main cast sport more or less normal hairstyles.
* Hayato Kazami, Naoki Shinjyo and Johji Ohtomo in ''[[Future GPX Cyber Formula]]'' have these.
* Touma Kamijou from ''[[
* ''[[Fairy Tail]]'': [[The Hero|Natsu]], [[The Lancer|Gray]], and [[The Rival|Gajeel]] all have this hairstyle.
* A lot of characters in ''[[GetBackers]]''; most notably the two protagonists, and ''especially'' Ban (though being drenched leads to his hair becoming completely tamed...for a while).
Line 63:
* In ''[[Saint Beast]]'', unlike most of his counterparts who have [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|unnatural hair colours]], Goh just gets a very spiky haircut.
* Possibly{{verify}} Wolverine from the ''X-

▲* Possibly Wolverine from the X-Men—he is generally portrayed with particularly feral hair and sideburns that look a bit like horns, especially in earlier renderings.
▲* Beast was potrayed with something similiar until he turned into a cat.

** Also comes up in several other series. Typically, [[Hot-Blooded]] reds have the official hairstyle of hotblood.

* ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'': Eternally scruffy and hyperactive Calvin.

Line 92 ⟶ 87:
* Crono, the hot-headed hero of ''[[Chrono Trigger]]''.
{{quote|"Where's the punk with the spiky-hair?"}}
* The preview male sprite from the Japanese ''[[Square Enix]] Members'' would have this when he dresses up as [[Final Fantasy XII|Sorbet]] from ''Dive II Hunt'', which means Sorbet might have
* A number of characters from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'', particularly Sanada Yukimura. Date Masamune is an odd case in that, while his hair is [http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/10/82869.jpg normally rather tame]{{Dead link}}, it seems to [http://www.kitazeinbou.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/vlcsnap-255946.jpg magically spike out under his helmet]{{Dead link}}. Static cling, maybe?
* Neku Sakuraba from ''[[The World Ends With You]]''
* Every [[Golden Sun]] character either has this or [[Idiot Hair]].
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_K6hwRJpXs Tracer] from the upcoming [[Blizzard Entertainment]] team shooter, ''[[Overwatch]]''.

* Hal, in the [[Easter Egg]] of ''[[Bowser's Kingdom]]'' episode 8, gains this when he ate the [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Chaos Emerald]] and fights [[Super Mario Bros Z|Turbo Mecha Sonic]] on an even level.

* [http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/File:CGnobackg.png Karkat]{{Dead link}} (and [http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/File:John_Egbert.png John]{{Dead link}} to a degree) of ''[[Homestuck]]'' both sport this style.

Line 110 ⟶ 103:
* The ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' version of Robin. Some episodes [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] and [[Parodied Trope|parody]] this trope.
** In "Mother Mae-Eye", Robin is shown styling his hair. In "Divide and Conquer", during an argument with Cyborg, the latter points out that he stinks of hair gel.
** In "Date with Destiny", after being yelled at by Starfire, his hair turns into what seems to be its natural state - [[media:
** On another occasion, he gets drenched, and swipes his hand over his hair in a blur, and it is [[Hair Reboot|promptly restored to its standard form:]] bing!
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Kenny]] from ''[[South Park]]'' has blond
* [[The Powerpuff Girls|The Rowdyruff Boys]] sport this after Him brings them back to life, which the Girls immediately mock them for (calling it "mean hair").
