When starting a new anime, it isn't hard to pick out the main character or villain among the crowd. They typically sport a color palette unique to them and stand out among the extras. However, in some anime, fans can easily spot an important character due to their eye-catching and perhaps gravity-defying hairstyle.

For fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, Yugi Moto is the original and iconic protagonist. He's also easily spotted in the crowd due to his fabulous hair. The young duelist sports a voluminous and spiky hairdo, with both blonde and purple highlights. Yugi's hair is very eye-catching when compared to his friends and some other duelists, but that's not all.

When Yugi and the Pharaoh switch places, Yugi's hairstyle also changes slightly. The blonde highlights that frame his face can also be seen throughout the rest of his hair, almost like bolts of lightning. It's a regal hairstyle that's perfect for the King of Games.

Although Senku Ishigami is a man of science, his hair seems to deny it. The new leader of the Kingdom of Science's chosen hairstyle is gravity-defying. Senku sports blonde and almost white hair with green tips that seem to defy gravity.

Senku's hair appears to naturally stand on end, which is wild because it's actually pretty long, coming down to his shoulders when wet. However, despite his hair defying the law of physics, it perfectly matches Senku and his mad scientist personality that he has in the Stone World.

7 Brook & His Immortal Afro (One Piece)

Brook's hair is just as important to his character as his laugh and sense of humor. One glance at this voluminous afro and not only do the pirates of One Piece know who their up against but so do the fans. Despite the fact that this Straw Hat pirate is also a walking, talking skeleton, his hair is just as memorable.

Brook's hair simply defies all logic, since it's still attached to his skull despite him being all bones. However, his hair is also deeply important to Brook because it's the only thing left of him that Laboon would recognize when they meet again.

6 Lucy vs Flare Corona in Fairy TailFlare Corona's Magical Fire-Wielding Hair (Fairy Tail)

At first glance, fans would easily be able to tell that Flare's hair matches her name perfectly. The young wizard's luscious locks are a beautiful red color, like that of a burning flame. She typically keeps her red tresses in two braids, tying them together behind her back.

However, Flare's hair does more than just match her name in color: she can actually set her hair on fire and control it. As a wizard, Flare's magic comes from manipulating her hair, whether it be its length, strength, or flammability.

5 Serena & Her Hair Evolution (Pokémon The Series: XY)

Grevil de Blois is a distinguished aristocrat as well as an inspector for the Sauville's Police Department, making him a perfect example of class. However, what fans first notice isn't how he holds himself or his fine tailored suits but his drill-like hairstyle. With his long blonde hair styled in a singular coil on top of his head, it easily looks as if Grevil is wearing a drill.

This fabulous and jaw-dropping hairstyle is courtesy of Victorique, who enforced this look in exchange for her superior detective skills. Despite the hairdo being the exchange of a deal, it truly does look fabulous on Mr. Grevil de Blois.

3 Filo & Her Blonde Magical Cowlick (The Rising Of The Shield Hero)

Filo Cowlick

If fans hadn't watched her hatch from an egg or had seen her pulling her favorite wagon, they might not have known that Filo is a giant bird-like creature called a filolial. While in her human form, Filo is an adorable little girl with beautiful golden locks that she leaves down styled with a clip given to her by Naofumi.

However, as Filo grows stronger, she also gains an ahoge along with new stats. Despite not liking the cowlick, it's a symbol of her growing strength and maturation into a filolial queen. It also functions as an antenna, allowing Filo to communicate with Fitoria, the current filiolial queen.

Like every Precure, Ran's transformation protects her identity and gives her some fabulous magical abilities. When she transforms, Ran's brown braids turn blonde and become tightly curled pigtails attached to two large red buns. Cure Yum-Yum also wears an adorable pink and yellow cap with her buns and pigtails. Both hairdos can't hide her energetic spirit.
