Oddly enough, a lot of brown-haired characters have blue eyes...Some anime "convention" I suppose lol

Anime and reality are different things, therefore I suppose that would explain the differences...anime artists let go of reality when they create their characters...I think.

Gee...and besides the normal saiyans of DBZ ( Goku and Vegeta, but not turned into Super Saiyans , for instance ), I can hardly think of a character that has BOTH dark hair and eye color...


*Thinks harder*

Hum...perhaps Woodchuk from Record of Lodoss War...AH !!! Yes ! There is ASHRAM !!! The Black Knight !!! NOW you got a KICK-ASS character with dark hair and eye color ( besides Vegeta of course lol )

*Thinks even harder*

Huh...This is hard, damnit :p Most characters with brown hair I know of have blue or green eyes...Parn and Kashue (Lodoss), Shinji ( Evangelion ), Ashton ( Star Ocean EX ), Sakura (Card Captor Sakura)...Oh, yeah, there would be that other card captor, the little boy...His name is Lionel in the french version ( my sister used to watch it on supper time, so that's why I know a little about it ), but I haven't the slightest idea what it is in english...

Then , hum...yeah, maybe Tristan from Yu-Gi-Oh ! :p Though that last one isn't as cool as Joey or Kaiba, if you ask me lol. Gosh, I should be ashamed, liking Yu-Gi-Oh ! at my age . Oh well, the show itself isn't marvelous, but that card game owns ;)

Oh, and HOW on earth could I forget about Ryu ???? Yeah, THE Ryu from Street Fighter . For those who didn't know, Street Fighter II V is one great series ;) And Ryu has both dark hair and eye color, and he's my favorite Street Fighter ever ! Though strangely enough, he has BLUE EYES in Street Fighter Alpha : The Movie...A pure japanese guy having blue eyes ??? Strange indeed...


So, in short, about the only character I TRULY like that have both dark hair and eye color and that I can think of right away are Vegeta ,Ryu and Ashram :p So there...

Hmm..I think I remember a few.

Lain and Alice from Serial Experiment's Lain

Ketario and Naru from Love Hina

I think Tetsuo and Kaneda have Brown Hair, Brown eye's.

Forget the rest.

Welps, I don't know if you're counting any dark-haired guys, or just brown in general. But Rumiko Takahashi creates guys like that. Ranma from Ranma 1/2 is like that I think, as well as some other charries in that series? Or try some characters from 'Lum'.

What about Tuxedo mask in sailor Moon?

Sorries, not much help huh...

.

...Kaneda ??? He had brown hair and eyes ?

Ranma-kun has blue hair, so it doesn't count...And my sister has most of the Sailor Moon Manga, so if I remember well, Tuxedo Mask actually has blue eyes...


Gee, it's been WAY TOO LONG since I've seen Akira...


And I thought Tetsuo had very dark blue hair...Gosh, I NEED to watch it again...it's been too long I hardly remember about it ...

From what I can remember...I believe that woman from Bubblegum Crash (the one who rides a motorbike) had brown hair & eyes. There's also Tenchi, and Ashitaka (Princess Mononoke)
Not forgetting Melfina (Outlaw Star). Doesn't she have darkish brown eyes?
From my experience I would say most anime characters had blue eyes, hair is pretty much variable.

I'm a red-head and I find it really annoying as there's no red-heads on animes with green eyes. Now, I know in Japan there are no red heads but still... Also, I think it's rather stereotyped to think about the brunettes rather than the red-heads.

*Shrugs* Anyhoo, to answer your question I think blondes with light blue eyes look the best like Salor Moon for example ^_^

Hmm, Orphen, Aoshi, Parn, Keitaro, Ashton, Waya, Shinji, Sanosuke, Hiroyuki, Sousuke, Keiichi, Shoaran, Junta, Heero, Trowa, Myoga, Ataru... too many. They all have brown hair and brown eyes, I think. o_0

Ehm... Aoshi and Sano(like everybody else in Ruroiuni Kenshin except for Kenshin, Enishi, Yutaro and Fuji, as far as I remember) have black hair...
And Orphen - if I remember correctly, has black hait roo... right?I mean, they are Japanese, therefore...

Dang, I did not want to answer to this thread because I had nothing really to say, why did you have to mention Aoshi...? *sniffs* :P

What�s the most common hair colour... Eh, I don�t know, I mainly read mangas: black hair, white hair, grey hair.
Depending on what kind of manga it is, where it takes place (in the real world or not) I guess black hair/dark hair is most common...

I love white haired psycho bishies!

Megalomania, Parn definitely has blue eyes...Lodoss is my favorite anime, hence, look at my sig,you have the proof lol


Ashton has green eyes, too. And Shinji, blue eyes. I need to check back on Ashitaka because I don't really remember, but since I have the DVD it wouldn't be hard...I do think he has brown eyes, however...


The only really cool character with brown hair and eyes in Lodoss I can think of would be Ashram...There's also Woodchuck, and I believe Garrack as well but I have to check back on this one.

Anyway...

Looks at sig. Parn's eyes? Blue? *looks at sig* Nah, looks brown to me. Or black, rather. And I always thought Shinji has black eyes too... You're right about Ashton, probably. I never noticed his eyes, since I'm not a fan of the anime anyway. XD

Aoshi and Sano have black hair in the manga(duh!) but they have brown hair in the anime. What about the two little girls? Or even Shisho? Or the guy that Sano admired? They all have brown hair and brown eyes.

Orphen for sure has brown hair. That I'm 100% positive. XD

True, in the anime everything is different. Look, when they make colour picture of Enishi, he always ends up with some violet grey hair, because lightning and shadow effects can be shown better, but his hait still is white.
Same for black-haired characters. Isn�t there a pic from the anime where misao has kind of green hair? you still agree with me that she has black hair, right? God, their hair is black. Maybe varies a little, but. Black.

Looks brown ???? eeeee...you NEED to change the colors on your monitor, man :p lol Look closer at the avatar, if you prefer, it's definitely blue...Anyway...And I'm pretty sure about Shinji as well. It's probably we are used to see people with brown eyes and brown hair in real life that we tend to assume they have brown eyes...

It's really just for telling the characters apart. If they looked like real japanese people, you would have to put more work into each character to make them unique. In addition it makes it easier to sell spin-off products to children. Money-making is after all the main reason why anime exists.

I've wondered the same thing about Shinji Ikari from Evangelion. He's a Japanese kid and he's got black hair, but his eyes are dark blue. Other than that, Eva characters tend to be realistic. (there are very few light-haired characters; one of them is German and with another it's obvious she dyes her hair, because a flashback shows her with dark hair when she was younger. The only really weird-looking character is a blue-haired albino who is supposed to stand out as different from the others anyway.) So that just made Shinji's eye color surprising to me.

Hey Azure lighten-up lots of red-heads have made the hit list in anime. Remember Asuka from Evangelion, red hair suits her well, imagine that in blue or brown though, I would think of her as a second rate character if she didn't have that hair that suited her personally like that.

Brown hair and brown eyes, that is like Spike on Cowboy Bebop he is supeer cool.:cool:

I didn't call her weird, just weird-looking. You have to admit, it's not every day you see someone with blue hair and red eyes. And you might want to edit your post; you just screamed a spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen Eva.

Hotohori, Miaka, and Tomohome from Fushigi Yugi all have dark eyes and eyes. To-ya from Card Captor Sakura does to and Inuyasha has black hair and brown eyes once a month. ^_^

Personaly i like that combination. Brown hair and eyes means that they are somewhat normal. :) But i also like the white/silver hair and dark-eye look on a guy! ^___^

eerrm what about Tenchi from Tenchi Universe? And Lei and Meilin from Cardcapers? ermm tis hard this. erm...what about Shinji's father out of Evangelion? ergghh thats the best i can come up with.

taKi aFiRm

I believe creating a normal average dark haired boy as main character and then surrounding him with all kinds of weirdos can be found in lots of anime or manga.


Okay, a kind of cool brown haired guy is Setsuna Mudo from Angel Sanctuary. Brown hair, blue eyes I believe (?). He probably kind of sticks out in the beginning, since most others in Japan have black hair, but once he is surrounded by all kinds of weird angels, demons, and some other things/persons, he will seem quite normal with his short brown hair...
