History Main / StoicSpectacles

* Another subversion: Souichi Tatsumi from ''Challengers'' and ''TheTyrantFallsInLove'' is not only good-looking, intelligent, and antisocial, but also knows kendo and even wins double points for his long ponytail. However, [[{{Tsundere}} his personality]] is anything but stoic, especially towards his only "[[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend friend]]."

* Griffith Lowran from ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha StrikerS''. Also serves as the NumberTwo to [[TheCaptain Hayate]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction Yagami]].

* Spoofed in [[http://daitrombe.net/image/show/17191 this]] ''SuperRobotWars'' {{Yonkoma}}, where StoicSpectacles can make even the most HotBlooded of {{Idiot Hero}}es look like an intelligent bishie.

* The aptly-named Gold Glasses in ''[[TheBourneSeries The Bourne Identity]]''. YourMileageMayVary, given that he's got big 80's rims and is played by Wolf Kahler (Dietrich from ''[[IndianaJones Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'').

* Lazard Deusericus from Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-.

* Kyouya from ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. He's at his scariest when TheGlassesComeOff...because he's at his scariest when he's just woken up.

* The aptly-named Gold Glasses in ''[[TheBourneSeries The Bourne Identity]]''. To call him "stoic" is an understatement.

* The aptly-naked Gold Glasses in ''[[TheBourneSeries The Bourne Identity]]''. To call him "stoic" is an understatement.

* Doug Walker's suave persona from ''Ask ThatGuyWithTheGlasses''.

* Jin, the doctor from [[HarvestMoon TreeOfTranquility]]. He has a ponytail, too.

* Jade Curtiss, the resident DeadpanSnarker of ''TalesOfTheAbyss''. Bonus points for long hair (He has his hair in a loose braid in one of his outfits, but never a ponytail). Also very prone to the ''ScaryShinyGlasses'' trope. And TheGlassesComeOff? Yeah. About the only time the glasses ever come off is in the final confrontation between the BigBad and the party.

** Turns out he's BlindWithoutEm.

** ''Kuroshitsuji II'' introduces new butler Claude Faustus. He's basically William T. Spears with more unruly hair... until TheGlassesComeOff.

* Gendo Ikari from ''NeonGenesisEvangelion''.

[[{{Meganekko}} Bespectacled girls]] are [[MoeMoe cute]]. [[TheShortGuyWithGlasses Bespectacled short guys]] are book-smart. Bespectacled {{bishonen}}, on the other hand, are cool, calm and collected. It's not uncommon for them to also be intelligent and/or [[{{Badass}} kick ass in a fight]], as this character type tends to be where the opposing viewpoints of "glasses are for [[NerdGlasses nerds]]" and "glasses look cool" converge.

Most commonly, the glasses in question are of the narrow, thin-rimmed sort to avoid obscuring the bishonen's pretty face, though they can be prone to [[ScaryShinyGlasses shining scarily]]. Also, God help you if TheGlassesComeOff. If you're a [[BastardBoyfriend cold, sadistic]] but [[EstrogenBrigadeBait hot]] LoveInterest type as well as a spectacled guy, then you might be a SpectacledSadist. If you've got the cold and sadistic but not the love interest, you might have FourEyesZeroSoul.

* Shino of ''{{Naruto}}'' has a pair of stoic ''shades'' which constantly cover his eyes, even during side views. It's even become somewhat of a running gag among the fandom that his eyes have never been seen.
**Nobody's mentioned Kabuto? Oh, ''God'', where do we start with him? Let's see... long hair. Bonus because it's [[WhiteHairedPrettyBoy white]]. The glasses, obviously... which he often pushes up, and which seem to ''[[ScaryShinyGlasses shine on their own, often with little light]]''. And several cool character traits, but mostly being that he's [[FourEyesZeroSoul sadistic]].
