Character Design
Saitama, 25, lives alone in a city and can defeat enemies with just one punch. He became determined to become a hero after saving a child from an evil crab monster. Over three years, he trained relentlessly until his powerful force could defeat any opponent with just one blow. All his hair fell out during this time due to his intense training regimen. Despite his baldness, Saitama is considered anime’s most powerful hero and is greatly admired by his fans.
Anime Characters with Hair
The hairstyles of anime characters often reveal something about their personality. Long locks are commonly associated with power and authority, as seen with characters like Goku from One Punch Man and Kakashi Hatake from Naruto. Blonde hair is often associated with air-headedness or vanity, exemplified by characters like Serena from Sailor Moon and Nanami from Revolutionary Girl Utena. White hair in anime usually signifies trauma or depression, such as when Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul’s hair turned white after enduring extreme torture. Fury-colored locks are often depicted as wild and untamed, especially when a character’s secret powers are unleashed.
Characters with Long Hair
Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan is known for his appeal to viewers, with his dark brown locks forming a stylish man bun that complements his eye color. Ukyo from Cardfight Vanguard!! G and GIRS Crisis has long emerald-green waves that reach his lower back, adding to his intriguing personality as a character who can be both kind and aggressive. Saitama from One Punch Man also has long, curly locks, although he keeps them short on top and sides.
Characters with Short Hair
Short hair is often associated with professionalism and seriousness, providing a distinct look and enhancing the character’s personality. Many animated shows prefer characters with short hair because it is easier to animate. Henrietta from Bleach always maintains her short black hair in a neat bob cut, reflecting her no-nonsense personality and severe expression. This hairstyle also fits her role as a caretaker for her sickly mother, emphasizing her responsibilities and character traits.
