Drawings Featuring Characters with Cowlicks - An Expressive Lock of Hair ♪

In a world of trends, there’s one way to mane-tain your individuality. That’s right; today, we’re featuring a highly popular and common anime trope, ahoge! Commonly known as cowlicks, ahoge (アホ毛, lit. “foolish hair”) is easily recognized as a single long lock of hair sticking up from the top of a character’s head. In addition to making them stand out, ahoge can also be an indicator of how a character is feeling. When they’re sad, their ahoge might droop; when they’re happy, their ahoge might stand up or even bounce a little. The next time you see someone with ahoge, pay attention to this feature of theirs—you may find them even more endearing than before!

Enjoy the following characters’ cowlicks, which are full of charm and personality! Which one was your favorite?
