Russian Anime Characters Show Off Their Silver Hair
posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Anime loves to endow its characters with a rainbow of hair colors. Character appearance tropes are alive and well, especially when it comes to anime hair. Japanese net users recently noticed one particular trend: silver-haired Russians.
Russian anime characters are often depicted with whitish, grayish, or golden hair. Here is a sample of such characters:
Victor Nikiforov
Yuri!!! on Ice
Yuri Plisetsky
Yuri!!! on Ice
Haikyu!!
Lev Haiba
Eli Ayase
Love Live!
Russia
Hetalia
Anastasia
The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls
Meiko "Menma" Honma
anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day
Semyon "Simon" Brezhnev
Durarara!!
Why do so many Russian anime characters sport silver locks? Is it because cold temperatures and snowy weather in their homeland turn their hair white? Are they plagued by premature aging? Whatever the case, these characters seem content to show off their trademark tresses.
