%%* The Queen of Hearts from ''Disney/AliceInWonderland''. - '''Needs Context'''

* In ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'''s playing card motifs, Kamen Rider Chalice is the Rider that represents the suit of Hearts. He's not a ''bad'' guy, per se, but he's an [[spoiler:AntiAntichrist]] and gigantic threat to everyone regardless.

* Dio Brando of ''Anime/JojosBizarreAdventure'' has the HeartSymbol on his headband and knee pad, but he's the BigBad of three parts of the story. A few of his henchmen, Pet Shop, D'Arby Younger, and Vanilla Ice, also have heart symbols somewhere in their outfits.

** In ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', the Jambastion mages and their leader Hyness have an emblem of a heart with demonic wings and a sinister eye on their outfits. It also features on the architecture of their bases, though not quite to the point of SigilSpam. [[spoiler: And then there is Void Termina. Aside from the sigil of Hyness' cult appearing on its armor, its mask/face is heart-shaped, and after growing wings, it also has a tail made of hearts. A heart pattern also runs across part of the shell that houses its soul, i.e his actual heart (which, ironically, is round-shaped).]]

[[AC:Music]]
* Music/{{HIM}}: Their logo is a fusion of a heart and an inverted pentagram. The band characterizes their style as "love metal". One of the first songs they ever recorded was a cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", and prior to this the band used yet another symbol - a heart with 666 in the middle. Frontman Ville Valo, who designed the heartagram, later recalled this early symbol was "a bit boring".
** He later designed another one by crossing a heart with a unicursal hexagram, a shape made famous by occultist Aleister Crowley. He had it tattooed on himself for reference, but doesn't seem to have done anything else with it.
