Father Alexander Anderson from Hellsing, Church Militant Juggernaut.

The Men in Black from Serial Experiments Lain their perma-stubble makes it very clear they're dangerous and that something very wrong is going on.

It's pretty subtle (as in, you might not notice it unless you pay close attention), but Mugen has some very slight stubble and the faint beginnings of a mustache throughout Samurai Champloo.

After his wife's death, Gendo grows out his stubble into a thick beard.

Younger Gendo in a flashback to the early days of his partnership with Prof Fuyusuki.

It's lampshaded a lot by some of the characters: Misato criticises it a lot and thinks it makes him look lazy and careless Hikari refers to him as 'the cool-looking guy that never shaves', and Asuka thinks that it makes him look much more attractive.

Kaji has stubble, probably because of his confusing and ambiguous job description, which probably makes him too busy to shave.

It is revealed a few episodes after his appearance that he is the son of wealthy parents that on business/living abroad, and he hopes to find an identity other than being a rich kid, so he might be purposely trying to look unkempt to hide his family history.

Yuuichirou from Sailor Moon has long hair with bangs and a face full of stubble, even though other young men his age (like Mamoru, for example, who even references having to shave) are clean-shaven and well-trimmed.

Protagonist Shinichi from Kore wa Koi no Hanashi has a bit of stubble on his chin, which he rarely - if ever - shaves off.

Holland from Eureka Seven has some around his chin, and it does make him look fairly badass (you can see him without it in a flashback, though).

Satan from Dragon Ball Z has a 5 o'clock shadow with a fully grown handle bar mustache. Fanservice characters, given the common Female Gaze perspective that facial hair is manly, but too much is unappealing.įor examples of cartoon characters having stubble due to Limited Animation, see Solid Cartoon Facial Stubble.

Not entirely unrealistic, as men with dark facial hair but slow beard growth (and especially with lighter skin for contrast) can get a 5-o'clock shadow by noon, which then stays perma-stubble for days without any maintenance.Īlmost ubiquitous among Mr. Contrast Beard of Sorrow, which is usually temporary. Tends to grow on a Lantern Jaw of Justice. May grow out into a beard if given enough time, unless he keeps it stubbly by choice. Big Damn Heroes don't sweat when anxious they grow facial hair. Even when starting a film with a perfectly smooth jaw, all it takes for the hero to grow his five-o'clock shadow is the sound of gunfire. Even Mooks are better groomed, or are ugly and easily distinguished from our hero.Įspecially fun when the hero has a perfectly shaved head (unless naturally bald or getting there) and a five o'clock shadow.

To wit, the only people who don't shave are Action Heroes everyone else has good hygiene. In the wonderful land of Hollywood, the law of Good Hair, Evil Hair is irrevocably ingrained in concrete. Now, how to get street cred as a badass Mofo? Cause big explosions? Shoot with Guns Akimbo? Nah, just stop shaving! Rust Valley Restorers is streaming on Netflix now.So you're an Anti-Hero, or maybe The Drifter or an equally gritty protagonist Made of Iron. one can imagine that many vintage car enthusiasts will make their way to Tappen in the future.
