* Usually averted in ''Manga/CaseClosed''. There are several types of Americans in that series, ranging from blondes to black-haired American or dark-skinned or black people. However, there was one time where Conan distinguishes the Brittish James Black from a similar looking Texas-native American (portrayed with a cowboy hat) through their different accents. Said American had a strong Southern accent.

* ''Anime/VoltesV'': When Ippei Mine was a young boy, his family immigrated from Japan to America. He spent most of his life in California where he became a famous rodeo star, winning several awards with his [[AnimalCompanion horse]], [[ABoyAndHisX Eiffel]]. It was because of this that Ippei was selected[[note]]Forcibly kidnapped from California to Japan and forced to undergo rigorous training for a year[[/note]] to become one of the five pilots of [[CombiningMecha Voltes V]]. Ippei also dons a cowboy hat and a whip in some episodes, and generally has a crude, abrasive, hot-blooded attitude in contrast to his ImpliedLoveInterest, [[YamatoNadeshiko Megumi]].

In decided to make this a subpage because there were too many examples when I scrolled past to the other tabs. I'm sorry if I made a mistake with this, if I did please undo it.

[[caption-width-right:350: And some are rodeo stars!]]
* Invoked in ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou''. Girlfriend #13, the protagonist's teacher Nadeshiko Yamato, is a [[InvertedTrope reverse]] OccidentalOtaku (i.e. ethnically Japanese but pretending to be an American) who calls herself "Naddy" and wears cowboy getup almost all the time. Some English translations also give her a southern US accent.
* Fumio's grandfather in ''Manga/SaitamaChainsawShoujo'' was a Texan bounty-hunter who wears a cowboy hat and frilled buckskin vest.
* In ''Manga/MidoriDays'', when Lucy's friend Daniel shows up to try and bring her back to America, he's dressed in...well, typical cowboy attire.
* [[http://keroro.wikia.com/wiki/Melody_Honey Melody Honey,]] a reoccuring character in both ''Manga/ArcadeGamerFubuki'' and ''Manga/SgtFrog'', is [[GorgeousGaijin a busty blonde model/pop idol/pro gamer]] who usually dresses in a skimpy cow-girl outfit.
* Jack King and the Texas Mack from ''Manga/GetterRobo''. Also his tribute in ''Anime/{{Gekiganger 3}}'', Cowboy Johnny and the Texas Robo.
* Cathy in ''Anime/RahXephon''.
* Reina Gorn in ''Manga/TheKurosagiCorpseDeliveryService'' is a scientist from the United States who is almost always seen wearing a cowboy hat.
* Terryman and Terry the Kid from ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}'' and ''Anime/UltimateMuscle''. They're also from Texas, and specialize in appropriately-flavored moves, like the Calf Branding.
** Terryman himself is based on legendary professional wrestler (and Texan) [[http://www.prowrestlingmidatlantic.com/terry_funk_op_471x6001.jpg Terry Funk,]] who did actually dress in a cowboy hat and a poncho for years, making this a JustifiedTrope in his case.
** Averted with Specialman (a gridiron football player) and Pentagon (a masked luchadore, but one with eagle wings).
* In ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'', America's Gundam Maxter is a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Boxer Surfer Football Player Cowboy]]. In the reimagined ''Choukyuu! G Gundam'' manga, its MidSeasonUpgrade Max Revolver ditches all those motifs except for the Cowboy one.
* Jackie Gudelhian from ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula''. He wears a cowboy hat, likes rodeo riding and he's from Kentucky. He is even nicknamed the "High-tech Cowboy''.
* A character from ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' who shows up only briefly via video link is a computer programmer and friend of the 'Monster Makers' who originally coded the Digimon is [[PhenotypeStereotype blond]] and wears a stetson. The dub even adds a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Texan drawl]] to him.
* Averted with America in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers''. The one time he does dress up as a cowboy, it's justified as other characters dress up in national costumes as well.
* The American Pretty Cure in ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'' are cowgirls (except the one who is a Native American).
* UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis from the ''Characters/SegaHardGirls'' franchise provides the trope image. As the Sega Mega Drive was released in the U.S. as the [[MarketBasedTitle Sega Genesis]] and both consoles are represented by separate characters in the series, "Genny" (pronounced "Jennie") is a transfer student who comes to Japan after having studied in the U.S. Being the American console, [[SarcasmMode naturally]] she wears cowboy attire from head-to-toe along with a bandana halter top with the design of the American flag on it, with shades of black from the console she's based off of. She also has a loud, rude but charismatic personality, based on the console's aggressive marketing campaign in the U.S.
* Usually averted in ''Manga/CaseClosed''. There are several types of Americans in that series, ranging from blondes to black-haired American or dark-skinned or black people. However, there was one time where Conan distinguishes the Brittish James Black from a similar looking Texas-native American (portrayed with a cowboy hat) through their different accents. Said American had a strong Southern accent.
* Averted in ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth''. Autozam represents the United States of America. Yet none of the characters from Autozam are cowboys. Some do wear green berets. And their leader is styled to resemble a bald eagle.
* Averted in ''Manga/BlueExorcist''. Lightning (a Texan no less!) is the first explicitly American character to appear, but he doesn't look or act like a cowboy. He does sometimes wear a poncho, but thats about it.
* Colt, one of the four principle characters in ''Anime/SaberRiderAndTheStarSheriffs'' is a hotshot pilot, and an American. You can tell he's American by his cowboy hat.
* JACK in ''Literature/CatPlanetCuties'' is a character meant to be an American stereotype, that includes being a cowboy. She wears a cowboy hat, [[{{Stripperific}} wears almost nothing]], is often seen eating [[FastFoodNation fast food]], and drives a [[CoolCar Corvette Stingray]].
* In the ''Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats'' episode where they travel to New York City, Speedy's American counterpart is named "The Sundance Kid" and is dressed like ''[[Creator/ClintEastwood Clint Eastwoods's]]'' famous "The Man With No Name" character, who wore a cowboy hat with a poncho. Although his combat uniform is a baseball player he still retains elements of this because he uses twin revolvers as his weapon of choice.
* ''Anime/VoltesV'': When Ippei Mine was a young boy, his family immigrated from Japan to America. He spent most of his life in California where he became a famous rodeo star, winning several awards with his [[AnimalCompanion horse]], [[ABoyAndHisX Eiffel]]. It was because of this that Ippei was selected[[note]]Forcibly kidnapped from California to Japan and forced to undergo rigorius training for a year[[/note]] to become one of the five pilots of [[CombiningMecha Voltes V]]. Ippei also dons a cowboy hat and a whip in some episodes, and generally has a crude, abrasive, hot-blooded attitude in contrast to his ImpliedLoveInterest, [[YamatoNadeshiko Megumi]].
