Wiki History Listing


V2 アホ毛, literally, "stupid hair". A single (usually short and fat) lock of hair that sticks out of a character's head. Also known as a Cowlick. Example characters include [[katagiri_himeko]], [[Saber]], [[Kongou_(kancolle)]], and [[Me-tan]].

Although the character design element was popular for decades before that, the name ahoge in particular was popularized by [[Pani_Poni_Dash!]], whose resident hyperactive airhead Himeko's ahoge was named as such directly by the characters. (And was a plot point.)

Hence, while it is called "idiot hair" for that character, and many notable idiot characters have it, it's been in place long enough that a huge number of non-idiot characters have them as well.

To be differentiated from [[antenna_hair|antenna hair]], which is two or more thin locks of hair as opposed to only one.
