* Revy from ''BlackLagoon'' has been accused of it. Shenhua seems to imply that she is not pure Chinese, which would make her red hair hypothetically possible but still extremely unlikely; red hair is a recessive gene that would have required very specific genes on part of both of her parents to make this possible.

A few anime keep all characters within the normal Japanese hair color range, i.e. black or dark brown. This is only for shows that deliberately choose only those colors, like ''WelcomeToTheNHK''. More common than everyone having literal black hair is having all characters with non-Japanese hair colors explicitly have dye-jobs or otherwise be foreigners or supernatural, [[JustifiedTrope justifying this trope]]. These still go under plausible hair as long as the justification is plausible. Having recessive blond hair when only one of the parents or grandparents is of European ancestry is not.

* Actually pretty common in Live Action Television as well, especially in family-based Dom Coms. Since hair color is almost never considered when casting, a lot of times you'll have Implausible Hair Color between parents and their children. For example, in ''Reba,'' the blond Brock and the redhead Reba had the blond Cheyenne, the redhead Kyra, and the dark-haired Jake.

Since Himeko told Bossun through e-mail that her hair is dark (and it's otherwise blond), when they are about to meet each other for the first time, she dyes her hair black to keep the masquerade. When Bossun (not knowing why she is at the meeting place) asks her why she dyed her hair, she answers that it's none of his business and that it's anyway unnatural for a Japanese to have blond hair.
