History Main / HairIntakes

A sub-trope of AnimeHair, this hairstyle resembles the hood scoops on a muscle car and also looks a bit like cat ears, allowing for the visual appeal of the CatGirl in series that are too "realistic" to actually feature such a supernatural creature. They can also be used to suggest [[MechaMusume a resemblence to a machine]], again, without the work necessarily featuring something like a RobotGirl. Seems to be more common among females, though male examples are plentiful as well.

* [[Characters/HololiveOuroKroniiCh Ouro Kronii]] of WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} has bangs that form this shape in her default appearance, forming a bob-cut look, but she seems to lose them when wearing her kimono. [=AZkI=] also has these in her fourth costume.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Keqing and Dehya both sport this hairstyle, befitting their [[AnimalMotifs feline motifs]] (specifically a lioness[=/=][[OurManticoresAreSpinier manticore]] in Dehya's case). This sets them apart from legitimate CatGirl Diona and [[BakenekoAndNekomata nekomata]] Kirara.

* Celty Sturluson from [[Literature/Durarara Durarara!!]] is an interesting variation since she has no head. Instead, her helmet has prominent cat-like 'ears' where hair intakes would otherwise be [[spoiler:but actually subverted since her 'real' head doesn't have them]].

* Seara August from ''LightNovel/ICouldntBecomeAHeroSoIReluctantlyDecidedToGetAJob'' has them.

* Fear from ''LightNovel/CubeXCursedXCurious'' has this hairstyle.
* Koneko from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'' has them, adding to her CatGirl motif. [[spoiler:She actually ''is'' a Nekomata, and sprouts actual cat ears in their place when using her full strength.]]

* Parodied in [[https://yurucamp.tumblr.com/post/650839154338512896/very-important-psa this tumblr post]], which claims that an anime girl's "hair vents" are a vital organ for facilitating gas exchange to control body temperature, and without them they will overheat and die.
