* Yue from ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'' has long, white hair. He is one of the Guardians of the Clow Cards, and associated with the moon.
* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'':
** The eponymous Index has silvery-white hair, a PhotographicMemory, magical abilities, plus information from over 103,000 grimoires hardwired onto her brain. The setting takes place in a city dedicated to the study of people with PsychicPowers ([[spoiler:the training programme for which is actually a disguised magical ritual]]) called espers.
** The character [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep "Accelerator"]] is albino. He's [[WorldsStrongestMan the strongest of the Level 5 espers, of which there are only seven in the world]], whose [[SuperpowerLottery ability to perceive and control vectors]] has earned him the title of "He Who Wields the Power of God". He is also the one with the greatest potential to reach [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale the theoretical Level 6]] (a state in which the esper becomes an [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Angel of Human Origin]]), and later in the series he starts to undergo [[SuperMode "Awakening"]] events during which he [[PowerGivesYouWings sprouts wings]] and begins speaking in tongues. In fact, he theorizes that his powers may be ''why'' he has albinism, since he might be unconsciously redirecting UV light away from himself, but he isn't entirely sure.

* The Children of Befort from ''Anime/FantasticChildren'' are not like anyone around them, and their white hair shows it.
* In ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'', Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa and her AloofBigBrother Leonard both have white hair; both are among the Whispered, children born during a supernatural event which has given them uncanny knowledge of futuristic technological advancements and some low-level PsychicPowers.

* Etienne of ''Manga/InnocentsShounenJuujigun'' has stunning white hair and "powers" as a blessing from God, including lightning bolts from the sky, healing the sick, bringing the dead back to life, causing an eclipse, and having [[spoiler:supernatural luck that makes him almost impossible to kill.]]
* ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'':
** All dog-demons have silver hair and golden eyes when in their human forms, as seen with Sesshoumaru and both of his parents. His younger brother, the titular Inuyasha, is only half-demon. He shares the silver hair and golden eyes of his father's family but, during every new moon, his hair becomes black and his eyes brown. This symbolises the loss of his demonic powers, forcing him to spend the night as a full human.
** Bat-demons have dark skin and silver hair, as seen with Tsukuyomaru and his father. Unlike most of his race, Tsukuyomaru liked humans and fell in love with one, much to his family's shame. His daughter, Shiori, has inherited her father's dark skin and silver hair. She was bullied and ostracised by the human village she was raised in because her appearance signified her demonic heritage.
** Kanna is one of [[BigBad Naraku's]] creations and serves him. She has jet black eyes and silver hair, and is regarded as strange and mystical by everyone. This is because she is the essence of the [[ElementalPowers Void]]; her powers are connected to mirrors and the soul, she doesn't display any emotions and she barely speaks. Even Naraku's other creations don't quite know what to make of her.
** Towa Higurashi from the sequel ''Anime/YashahimePrincessHalfDemon'', one of Sesshomaru's daughters, also has white hair, like her father and her half-uncle.
* Bell Cranel from ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' is a [[IncorruptiblePurePureness pure hero]] who has white hair. Since he also has red eyes, it could be a case of albinism.

** Anna and Neko (pinkish-white), who are Strains, people who receive powers not from a [[SuperEmpowering King]], (though they do both become Clansmen of Kings).
** [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Adolf K. Weismann]], the Silver King, though he had this before he was chosen as a king. [[spoiler: Though he's only evil when he's possessed.]]
** Yashiro Isana, the protagonist [[spoiler: or, to be more precise, Tooru Hieda, who he was body-swapped with. WhiteHairBlackHeart also applies here when he's possessed by the same body snatcher]], and Sukuna Gojo, a Green Clansman, who don't really have any born connection to the series' powers.
** And finally, the Green King's hair changes from black to white when he [[PowerDyesYourHair unleashes his power]] in season 2.
* Both Tomoe and Mizuki from ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' have white hair but look like they're in their late teens to early twenties. Neither is human; Tomoe is a {{Kitsune}} and Mizuki is a Divine Beast.
* Several characters including the protagonist have white hair in ''Anime/{{Kiznaiver}}''. This is a sign that they [[spoiler: participated in a failed experiment when young, and their hair turned white prematurely]].
* In ''Manga/{{Kurohime}}'' the titular character is a white haired gunslinging witch.
* Lady Koto from ''Anime/{{Kyousogiga}}'' has silver hair after [[HumanityEnsues being granted a human form by a bodhisattva]].

** The series also has Cinque, a [[HollywoodCyborg Combat Cyborg]] who serves as the older sister to most of her fellow [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Numbers]], which is kind of funny, considering that she's also the TokenMiniMoe of the group, with an [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] and [[BadassLongcoat trenchcoat]], no less.
* ''Manga/MermaidSaga'': Towa Kannagi's hair turned white after her sister, in an attempt to save her life, fed her mermaid blood.
* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' has Kanna, the TokenMiniMoe among the dragon characters. This only applies to the manga since her hair was changed to have [[MulticoloredHair lavender tips]] in the anime.
%%* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' has a couple of examples in HRL SuperSoldier Soma Peires [[spoiler:a.k.a. Marie Parfacy]], and Celestial Being's ''[[Manga/Gundam00Sidestories Fereshte]]'' member Chall Acoustica. For the latter, her hair was naturally brown, until a reactor overload in her Gundam caused it to turn white (in addition to scarring her face and [[spoiler:killing all her comrades]]).
* Many of the humanoid {{Youkai}} in ''Manga/TheMoroseMononokean'' has white hair despite their youthful appearance.
* ''Manga/{{Mushishi}}'':
** Ginko's white hair and single green eye are a result of being entangled with a certain kind of mushi. [[spoiler:It's later revealed the mushi that affected him was called "Ginko", which he took as a name after it took all his memories of his life before. It was the only name he remembered at the time.]]
* In ''Manga/NanatsuNoTaizai'', the Goddess Clan's [[spoiler:royal bloodline]] have silver-white hair... when their faces are visible at all. Usually they're obscured by magical light (maybe holy power bleaches?). Most 'mere' Goddesses have blond hair. This trope is also an indication that the Liones family adopted its youngest child, since she looks so different from them. [[spoiler:The usual symbolism of a special destiny and strong magical talent also applies.]]
* ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'': Members of the original Otsutsuki clan, who came from a world outside Earth, all have white hair ([[AdaptationDyeJob bluish white in the anime]]). A few of their descendants, such as Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan, inherit this trait.
* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':

* ''Manga/OnePiece'' has Carrot in her [[SuperMode Sulong form]].
* In ''Manga/PandoraHearts'', the Intention of the Abyss, who is the twin of the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Bloody Black Rabbit.]] She is the entity that governs [[EldritchLocation the Abyss]].
* In ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', [[TheWisePrince Mytho]] has white hair. He has magical powers, is arguably the BigGood of the series, and is apparently [[TheAgeless Ageless]] outside of his story.
* Shiroyasha from ''LightNovel/ProblemChildrenAreComingFromAnotherWorldArentThey'' has super-light blue hair that way more often actually looks white. She's also a sun goddess and insanely powerful.
** Leticia too. She is a vampire with blonde hair so light that they have also been described as being "shining blond-silvery". Other people can recognize that she is a pureblood vampire simply because she has "hair so beautiful that no human could possibly have".
* Fujiko from ''Manga/PsychicSquad'' is a white haired vampire.
* Nagisa Momoe from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' has white hair, and this is part of her uniqueness as being a magical girl who can shift into her witch form at will.
* Amira from ''Anime/RageOfBahamutGenesis'' is a [[{{Nephilim}} nephilim]]. [[NonHumanHumanoidHybrid Her father was a demon and her mother was an angel]]. She can switch between her angelic and demonic form. In her angelic form she has pink hair and looks like a particularly pretty girl. In her demonic form, she looks much more [[CuteMonsterGirl impressive]]. And in this shape she also has white hair, but the tips of the hair are still pink.
* ''Manga/RozenMaiden'': Suigintou, Barasuishou and Kirakishou all have white hair. [[ArtificialHuman All three are dolls brought to life]].
* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
** The original Queen Serenity. Sailor Moon herself was originally supposed to be white haired when transformed and blonde as Usagi. This was vetoed by Creator/NaokoTakeuchi's editor Osa-P. In the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]], she does have white hair as Princess Serenity and Neo Queen Serenity, but not in [[Anime/SailorMoon either]] [[Anime/SailorMoonCrystal anime]].
** Technically, Yaten/Sailor Star Healer has silver hair.
** Sailor Cosmos has white hair in two heart shaped odangos and pigtails that reach her feet. It's unknown (other than that she's the true form of Chibi Chibi) just what she is, or what relation she has to Sailor Moon and it seems the mangaka intended it that way.
** Usagi was apparently suppose to have white hair in general (since Minako, the original Sailor heroine, was already a blond) but the author's editor told her to make the main character blond since that would be better received by the targeted female audience.
%%* The sensual [[TheGunslinger shot]] and DarkActionGirl Hibari Ginza from ''Anime/SpeedGrapher'' has silver hair.
* Rally Cheyenne from ''Manga/SilentMobius'' is half-Lucifer Hawk (demon, basically), and her silver hair marks her as having some of the strongest magic in the series.
* An interesting variation occurs in the ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' series: protagonist Lina has [[FieryRedhead reddish colored hair]], but when she casts a particular high-level spell, her hair turns white. This occurs once in the LightNovel series, and twice in the anime.
* Kantarou from ''Manga/Tactics'' has albinism, which is a mark of his unusual spiritual gifts as an onmyoji.
* Played with in ''Manga/TokyoESP'', in that the origin of Rinka's white hair is different depending on the medium. In the manga, she always had blonde hair that was so light it would look, to the casual observer, like she had white hair. In the anime, Rinka is actually a brunette whose white hair manifested when she gained the power to phase through objects.
* {{Music/Tsukiuta}}'s Shun, the "White Demon King", an IdolSinger with actual magic powers. The truth is, he's in a sort of yin-yang connection with Hajime, the "Black King" and leader of the unit that's Shun's unit's rivals. Both are just as mystical, but Shun is the one who flaunts his powers, while Hajime is still in denial that he even has them.
* Yumi from ''Anime/{{Ulysses 31}}'' belongs to a race of blue skinned, white haired human looking aliens called the Zotrians. The Zotrians are also known for their exceptional beauty.
