History Main / ShonenHair

%% * ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Loads of characters. There's even a popular icon that has a picture of Ash Ketchum, stating that "His hair can poke people's eyes out".

%% * ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Touma Kamijou. In a bit of a subversion, Touma actually [[InvokedTrope deliberately styles it that way with hair gel.]]
* ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'': Joshua Christopher, although it's much more toned down than some of the other examples on this page. (He pretty much fits the personality for this trope to a T.) Chrono might count, too, although he's got a long braid at the base of his neck in addition to the spiky hair on his head.

* ''Franchise/DragonBall'': The Saiyans have Shonen Hair as a genetic trait to the point that a pure-blooded Saiyan's hair literally never changes from the day they're born. All too fitting for a barbaric race of space-faring cavemen.

[[caption-width-right:250: Don't stare too long, now. You'll put your eye out.]]

%% ** And, conversely, Ventus and [[spoiler: Vanitas]].

** In "Date with Destiny", after being yelled at by Starfire, his hair turns into what seems to be its natural state - [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robin00013_4782.jpg a "good boy" style.]] Also a MythologyGag- it looks exactly like how Robin's hair was drawn in the Golden/Silver Age comics.

* A number of characters from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'', particularly Sanada Yukimura ([[ShortHairWithTail who also has a ponytail]]). Date Masamune is an odd case in that, while his hair is [[http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/10/82869.jpg normally rather tame,]] it seems to [[http://www.kitazeinbou.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/vlcsnap-255946.jpg magically spike out under his helmet]]. Static cling, maybe?

This is the kind of hairstyle that people suffering from PublicMediumIgnorance think all male anime characters have. The DistaffCounterpart stereotype for female anime characters can be GirlishPigtails or MegaTwintails.

%% ** And then ''[[Anime/YuGiOhZexal Zexal]]'''s Yuma manages to completely [[UpToEleven out-crazy pretty much every hairstyle in the series]] [[spoiler:- and that's [[PowerMakesYourHairGrow before he enters]] SuperMode!]]

* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'': ''[[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds 5D's]]'' - Yusei, possibly one man with weirder hairstyle than Yugi. Jack keeps boasting that he's a King, and then take into account his hair looks like a crown.
%% ** Yugi/Yami from first ''Anime/YuGiOh'' - yes, his hair just looks like an eccentric hairstyle... until it's hinted it's natural.

This is the kind of hairstyle that people suffering from PublicMediumIgnorance think all male anime characters have. The DistaffCounterpart stereotype for female anime characters is RapunzelHair, or GirlishPigtails.

* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': Most protagonists and villains. Seiya's helmet seems to have trouble keeping his hair's spikes from jutting out. The villains tend to combine shonen hair with RapunzelHair for maximum fabulousness.

* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'': ''[[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds 5D's]]'' - Yusei, possibly one man with weirder hairstyle than Yugi. There's a reason he's called [[FanNickname 'Crabhead']] among the fandom. Jack keeps boasting that he's a King, and then take into account his hair looks like a crown.

* ''AudioPlay/SaintBeast'': Unlike most of his counterparts who have [[YouGottaHaveblueHair unnatural hair colours]], Goh just gets a very spiky haircut.

%% * ''ComicBook/{{Beast}}'' was portrayed with something similar until he turned into a cat.

* ''Franchise/PrettyCure''

* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'': Tsukune has shonen hair, but thanks to ArtEvolution, his hair looks more normal and straighter in later chapters of ''Season II''.
