7
8	* The titular character from ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'' is a red panda office lady who keeps a cute and proper appearance but secretly ''seethes'' with anger, and in the original shorts, it doesn't take much to set her off. Even her name literally means "fiery child".
9	* Anne Shirley in ''Anime/AkageNoAnne'', who, in turn, is based on Anne Shirley in the novel series mentioned in the "Literature" subpage.
10	* Mikage "Sakura" Sakurai in ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'' is a downplayed example. She has red hair and a sharp tongue, and isn't above slapping or flicking the others when she's frustrated. The downplayed point is that she's actually a {{Tsundere}}.
11	* Yoko from ''Manga/Bastard1988'' Her response to the main character not bouncing back from death fast enough:
12	-->'''''I'm gonna kick your ass!!'''''
13	* [[LargeHam Nobunaga]] of ''Anime/BattleGirlsTimeParadox'' was told to squeeze a pipe to calm her down whenever she became frustrated. She does this, but it doesn't stop her from threatening ghosts who aren't scared of her stories.
14	* ''Manga/BlackClover'':
15	** The Vermillion siblings in the Crimson Lion Kings all have red hair and are very passionate and hot-blooded. Mereoleona manages to be even moreso than her younger brothers Fuegoleon and Leopold.
16	** Zora Ideale has bright red hair and can get riled up when it comes to nobility and Magic Knights, intentionally trying to earn the hate of all the Royal Knights Exam candidates.
17	* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
18	** Main character Ichigo Kurosaki is a natural carrot-top (his given name means "strawberry" in English), and a natural hothead. He {{discusse\|dTrope}}s it in one chapter after his high school classmates are surprised at how high he ranks academically: he explains that after being hassled by school faculty for his unusual hair color[[note]]Most ethnic Japanese have dark brown to black hair, and school dress codes generally do not permit minors to dye their hair.[[/note]] and then getting in trouble for mouthing off in response, he figured out that keeping his grades up keeps that aggravation to a minimum.
19	** Renji and Jinta are both as HotBlooded as they come and have the scarlet hair to match.
20	** In the last chapter, the LittleMissBadass Ichika turns out to be quite the adorable spitfire. It's completely justified: [[spoiler: she is Renji and Rukia's daughter.]]
21	* ''Manga/BlueSeed'': [[MoreDakka Heavy weapons specialist]] and bazooka aficionado [[SmallGirlBigGun Koume Sawaguchi]]. She even had an InSeriesNickname -- "The Hurricane" -- from her time in the Japanese Self-Defense Force, where she worked before she was discharged due to insubordination and transferred to the TAC.
22	* ''Anime/BrainPowerd'': Hime Utsumiya has an outgoing personality (and [[{{Tsundere}} won't hesitate]] [[SlapSlapKiss to call out Yup]] when necessary) and is [[MartialPacifist an excellent fighter despite her preference for diplomacy]].
23	* In ''Anime/CapRevolutionBottleman'', red-haired Cota Coga is passionate about bottle battles and happy to tell everyone that he plans to become the Bottle King.
24	* {{Inverted\|trope}} in ''Manga/ChainsawMan'': Power, the fiery and bombastic one, has pinkish-blonde hair (and is depicted as a [[PlayingWithFire Fire-type]] in crossover games). The redheaded [[Characters/ChainsawManMakima Makima]] is instead an EmotionlessGirl and TheStoic, [[spoiler:as well as the BigBad]].
25	%%* ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'': Satella, a {{tsundere}} and "jewel witch".
26	* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Kallen Kouzuki/Stadtfeld. In fact, ''everything'' about her is red, from her rebel headband to her mecha ("Guren", which means Crimson Lotus) -- even the outfits she wears are associated with the color red. Her Japanese name, Kouzuki, means "Red Moon". She is also quite hot-headed and fiery in personality.
27	%%** Shirley. She's based partially on [[Literature/AnneOfGreenGables Anne Shirley]].
28	* ''Anime/CuteyHoney'': The titular character. No matter what hair colour she has, she's still very fiery.
29	* ''Anime/{{Dancougar}}'': Sara Yuki has literal red hair and matches [[TheHero Fujiwara Shinobu]] in [[HotBlood spirit]].
30	* Ruki Makino (a.k.a. Rika Nonaka) from ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' started as an [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Kung Fu Girl]], and through all the series she remained as a Tomboy ActionGirl always willing to fight.
31	* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' has [[TheBrute Recoome,]] one of the members of [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the Ginyu Force]]. He takes his fights against [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Vegeta,]] [[CrutchCharacter Krillin,]] and [[WouldHurtAChild Gohan...]] [[LargeHam a]] [[DanceBattler bit]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown too]] [[NeckSnap seriously]], to say the least.
32	* Terrence, the hero of ''Manga/{{Dreamland}}'', subverts this: he is a redhead and has fiery powers, but is nonchalant and not really eager to fight. [[{{Jerkass}} Eve]], however, plays the trope straight.
33	* Lucy from ''Manga/ElfenLied'' is a [[AxCrazy homicidally]] FieryRedhead (or more specifically, hot pink head). She could also be counted as an EvilRedhead.
34	* ''Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'': As the great Fire Priestess of Mt. Moldune, [[AmbiguouslyBrown Shayla Shayla]] is a literal example. Her powers intensify to match her disposition, meaning that the angrier or more excited she becomes during a fight, the brighter and hotter her flames burn.
35	%%* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
36	%%** Erza, and Natsu too if you count pink.
37	%%** Flare Corona is a literal FieryRedhead -- her magic not only manipulates her hair, [[FlamingHair it ignites it]].
38	* ''VideoGame/FatalFury'': Mai is usually [[{{subverted}} a subversion]]. But in the second film and TheMovie, she's portrayed as outgoing and outspoken, and has [[PlayingWithFire fire based]] attacks to top it off. Though her actual fighting ability tends to [[{{Chickification}} leave a lot to be desired.]] However, in the [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters games themselves]], she usually has either brown, or black hair (with purple highlights), but her cheerful, combative personality is the same ''and'' she's a certified ActionGirl.
39	* Kyo Sohma from ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' has naturally orange hair due to the Sohma curse, and he's introduced as very temperamental and prone to resorting to violence when angry. This gradually becomes downplayed as he mellows out and [[TameHisAnger learns to keep his temper under control]].
40	* Forte Stollen in the ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'' anime series. She's a TriggerHappy GunNut, and the most likely to respond to annoyances with violence, with her temper being second only to Ranpha's. Her counterpart in [[VideoGame/GalaxyAngel the videogames]] averts this trope, being a mature and level-headed CoolBigSis to the rest of the Angels.
41	* ''Manga/GugureKokkurisan'''s Jimeko sports orange hair and is a tsundere.
42	* ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'': TheProtagonist Hinata Shouyou has bright orange hair, and he is very passionate, loud, often easy to anger, extroverted, outgoing, enthusiastic, competitive, and determined. All around, he lives all of his emotions on a higher calibre.
43	* ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam''. In ''La Verite'' (the second season), Ryuuka is a redhead who can develop an awesome temper with little provocation. In the first season, she had brown hair.
44	* ''Anime/HeavyMetalLGaim'': Leccee is a quite temperamental redhead, especially when Kyao or someone else -- [[CatFight coughAmucough]] -- gets her annoyed.
45	* Ladonia from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' is not only a BrattyHalfPint and SpoiledBrat prone to throwing tantrums when things don't go his way, but an incredibly bold [[AdorablyPrecociousChild and precocious]] child who in his introduction demands to be made leader of the micronation group. He's also notable for being the first unambiguously redheaded character in a series rife with HairColorDissonance.
46	* ''Manga/HikaruNoDensetsu'': Hikari has red hair, is an outgoing tomboy, and is a natural when it comes to rhymathic gymnastics. Though, in the manga she was a blonde, the anime made her a ginger.
47	* In ''Manga/IGotMyWishAndReincarnatedAsTheVillainessLastBoss'', Reus is a red-headed, HotBlooded [[ElementalHairColors fire mage]].
48	* ''Anime/{{K}}'':
49	** Misaki Yata, a [[PlayingWithFire fire-wielding]] Red Clansman, is hot-headed to the point of doing the LeeroyJenkins routine fairly often, being called out as a fool on more occasions than one.
50	** The [[SuperEmpowering Red King]], Mikoto Suoh, is an interesting example -- he's always sleeping, and when he's awake, he's incredibly calm, but he still manages to come off as incredibly fiery. It's this apparent contradiction -- the calmness and intensity at the same time -- that makes him seem like such a badass, and makes so many people want to follow him as his Clansmen.
51	* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' has Vita, Teana, Agito, and Nove, who are all redheads with short fuses. For an extra kick, Agito is a literal fire elemental.
52	* ''Anime/LucyMayOfTheSouthernRainbow'': The Popple family has three sisters: the innocent, cheery Lucy-May, the mischevious, always up-to-no-good Kate, and the refined, aloof Clara. Guess which one has red hair?[[note]]Okay, Kate's hair is [[https://mediaproxy.tvtropes.org/width/350/https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lucymay3.jpg reddish-brown]]...but still, it counts[[/note]]
53	* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': Although Hikaru Shidou is normally a friendly GenkiGirl, she is also very HotBlooded and gets ''mad'' when someone or something hurts her friends. Fittingly, her ElementalPowers are all about fire.
54	* ''Manga/MakenKi'': Minori's Maken gives her the "firepower" to match her hair color and disposition. The last thing anyone wants is piss her off. Ouken Yamato can attest to that better than anyone.
55	* ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy'': Both of the Grant brothers, but especially [[LovableJock Brian]]. Michael is more of a {{Keet}}.
56	* ''Master of Mosquiton'': Inaho, is a textbook short-tempered [[JerkassWithAHeartOfGold bossy]] {{tsundere}} example, who drags the hapless vampire all over the globe with her, in search of the O-part to gain eternal youth. But she's not as bad as she first seems, as several episodes show that she isn't simply doing it vanity's sake. The reason she wants eternal youth so badly, is because she's in love with Mosquiton and wants to be together with him, for all time.
57	* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'': Kobayashi can get very passionate about her love of maids, [[InVinoVeritas though only when she's drunk]]. Otherwise, she's TheStoic.
58	* Subverted by Taiyo in ''Manga/MissionYozakuraFamily.'' Despite having the outward appearance of a StockShonenHero, including deep red hair, IdiotHair, and a scar running across one eye, he's meek and shy until he's pushed. Even after a confidence boost from a month of TrainingFromHell to [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower catch up with his superhumanly talented]] in-laws, he's still fairly dour and even-tempered unless Mutsumi is in danger, after which he drops everything to kick the ass of anyone who'd put her in danger.
59	* ''Anime/MyHime'': Mai Tokiha is a subversion: she's a redhead with fire-based powers and presented as an example of this trope in the first episode with her violent outbursts at Yuuichi, but after that, she's shown to be [[CoolBigSis compassionate and caring]] and remains that way until things go ''really'' bad for her and everyone else.
60	** The manga plays it a bit straighter, giving Mai more of a loose temper that her anime counterpart, kept under better control. Both versions were played as "gutsy" and "passionate", which could fall under the redhead stereotype.
61	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
62	** Eijiro Kirishima/Red Riot could only be more hot-blooded if he had a pyrokinetic Quirk -- but why bother when you're already burning with MANLINESS! Though Kirishima's hair is naturally black; he dyed it bright red to imitate his idol Crimson Riot.
63	** Endeavor, in more ways than one. Besides being a literal fiery redhead with his red hair and ever-present facial fire, he is known for some violent outbursts. Unfortunately, some were [[AbusiveParent toward his own children.]] He also has been learning to channel his anger as evidenced when he channeled his anger at All For One and the arm he’d just lost into creating a hand of flames and a few seconds later, a blazing inferno to kill the nomu.
64	* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
65	** Naruto's mother, Kushina, was one of these, though she mellowed (slightly) with age. She was nicknamed "the Bloody Habanero[=/=]the Red Hot-blooded Habanero" because her face resembled a tomato...and because she beat the pulp out of every person that called her "Tomatohead". And sometimes, her hair is floating and has the ''form'' of fire.
66	** Tayuya of the Sound Five. It's hard for her to go a scene without insulting someone.
67	** Karin is a more current example. [[MoodSwinger Sometimes]].
68	** Karui seemed kind of hotheaded when she was beating the crap out of the titular character.
69	* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': Anya is both a [[PlayingWithFire fire-user]] and very feisty.
70	* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
71	** Asuka Langley Soryu is a HotBlooded, hot-tempered redhead and the queen of this trope. Why else is she the picture on the main page? As a character defined by her pride and emotions, Asuka's red hair and blue eyes were chosen to contrast the blue hair and red eyes of TheStoic ShyBlueHairedGirl {{Rei Ayanami\|Expy}}, resulting in a perfect hair-color-coded RedOniBlueOni dynamic.
72	** Her ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' incarnation Asuka Langley Shikinami is a lot more subdued. As a result, [[AdaptationDyeJob her hair is strawberry-blonde instead of dark auburn or orange]], [[DependingOnTheWriter but not in some merchandise and illustrations]].
73	* Mana the tomboy in ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody'': a martial arts expert who is not adverse to using her kicks.
74	* Nami from ''Manga/OnePiece''. Even her punches are emotionally charged.
75	** Boa Marigold is just a shade lighter than red, but she combines PrehensileHair and InfernalRetaliation.
76	** We also have Eustass "Captain" Kidd, a sociopath who would also qualify for EvilRedhead.
77	* ''Anime/OutlawStar'': Gene Starwind is a rare male example, being a redhead with a HairTriggerTemper. He's willing to pull his sidearm on someone just because he thought they were insulting him (they were actually offering sincere advice), and he regularly gets called on how immature it makes him by older and more experienced outlaws. Learning to overcome this and not take offense at everything is part of his character development as the series progresses.
78	* ''Anime/PhantomQuestCorp'': {{Downplayed}} with Ayaka. She's typically easygoing and [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl somewhat irresponsible]], offset by having [[HairTriggerTemper a short fuse]] and volatile temper.
79	* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'':
80	** Misty played the trope straight, especially in [[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries the original series]], often by griping at Ash for the damage to her bike, or simply chewing him out [[IdiotHero for his general lack of common sense.]] Even her ponytail resembles flame. {{Iron\|y}}ically, [[WaterIsWomanly she specializes in Water-type Pokémon.]] According to the Fortune Telling book in the episode "The Fortune Hunters", she's listed as a Gyarados type, a Water-type Pokémon infamous for having a ferocious temperament.
81	** From ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesRubyAndSapphire Ruby and Sapphire]]'', the gym leader Flannery, on the other hand, does use Fire-types. Both typecasting and hotheadedness worked to her detriment in ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' back at Mt. Chimney, but she puts up a fight while stalling Kyogre later on.
82	--->''I'm not afraid of you! Just come and face me... '''Sapphire!'''''
83	** Jessie, the most badass member of the TeamRocket trio.
84	** Dawn's friendly rival Zoey from ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl Diamond and Pearl]]'' qualifies delightfully.
85	* Fujimoto from ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea'' is a crotchety old OmnicidalManiac with a long, flowing red mane.
86	* Himeno from ''Manga/{{Pretear}}'', another Junichi Sato MagicalGirl anime, is a fiery redheaded hero as well.
87	* Seira Morimura from ''Anime/PrincessNine''. Fits since she is hot-tempered.
88	* Ahiru from ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' isn't very strong in terms of combat, but she otherwise fits the description perfectly. (And she ''does'' catch the local {{Jerkass}} off guard once).
89	* The titular character from ''Anime/ProjectAKo''.
90	* Kyouko from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. While an {{Expy}} of the trope image Asuka in terms of personality and color scheme, her hair is more of a deep maroon than Asuka's more coppery tone. She's even themed around fire, too.
91	* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' sort of has the titular character. As a teenager who was raised his entire life to fight and win in martial arts duels, Ranma Saotome has the general [[ArrogantKungFuGuy hot-headed]], [[NobodyCallsMeChicken impulsive]], passionate personality to fit into this trope. However, in his normal form, he's a black-haired ''boy''. Thanks to [[GenderBender Jusenkyo]] and an AdaptationDyeJob, he can gain the right sex and hair color and loses none of the attitude that lets him qualify.
92	* {{Downplayed}} by the title character of ''Manga/RurouniKenshin''. Himura Kenshin is a MartialPacifist who actively refuses to kill, even carrying a ''sakabatou'', a katana with the blunt and sharp sides reversed, to keep himself from doing so by accident. He's normally quite patient and mild-mannered, but [[BullyingADragon enrage him at your peril]]: he became a wanderer to atone for the hundreds of lives he took as a political assassin for the anti-Shogunate side during the [[UsefulNotes/MeijiRestoration Boshin War]], and when roused even to TranquilFury, he's all but unstoppable.
93	* In ''AudioPlay/SaintBeast'', Maya has a tendency to throw tantrums when things don't go his way.
94	* Lirin of ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'' definitely qualifies. While most of her behavior is more like "annoying", she has a hair-trigger temper and will scream at or drop boulders on people who annoy her.
95	* Tiara, the heroine of ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'', is a very powerful FullContactMagic user with a penchant for {{slasher smile}}s and [[TauntButton taunting]] her opponents. It's a good thing she's up against AntiMagic users and [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm nigh-incomprehensible gods]], or the story would be over really quick.
96	* Kiddy Phenil of ''Manga/SilentMobius'', but only in the TV series. Her hair is green in every other version.
97	* Kyouko Mogami from ''Manga/SkipBeat'', even if, in reality, her hair is black. After her ImportantHaircut, she turns out to be [[HotBlooded extremely fiery]].
98	* ''Manga/SlamDunk'': Protagonist Hanamichi Sakuragi is very infamous in-story due to his dyed red hair and explosive temper. In the very first chapter/episode alone, [[UseYourHead he headbutted anyone]] [[BerserkButton who'd so much uttered the word "basketball" or something sounding similar]].
99	* The ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' canon has at least one in Charlotte Yeager, the 501st Joint Fighter Wing's resident {{large ham}} and {{lightning bruiser}}.
100	* Chocolat from ''Manga/SugarSugarRune''
101	* Sexy from ''Manga/TheVoynichHotel'' tries not to be this. She fails miserably and hilariously.
102	* Princess Rubina from ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' -one of the ''Anime/MazingerZ'' sequels could be quite the spitfire when she was angry. She was the only dared to call the BigBad out.
103	* Angel Salvia from ''Manga/WeddingPeach'', although green-haired Angel Daisy is also pretty fiery as well.
104	* Masane Amaha from ''Anime/{{Witchblade}}'' is this post-TransformationSequence.
105	* ''Manga/TheWorldIsStillBeautiful'' has the female protagonist Nike who has orange hair and a hot-tempered and strong-willed personality.
106	* Another literal example is Rin from ''Anime/YesPrecure5''. Her hair even turns into a flame-esque style after her transformation.
107	* Nakiami from ''Anime/XamdLostMemories'' is a subversion. She has red hair, but is taciturn and shows little to no interest in romance. She is an undeniable badass, though...
108	* Yuna from ''Anime/YukiYunaIsAHero'' is a spunky PluckyGirl who cares about her friends deeply. Her way of fighting as a MagicalGirl mostly involves her punching.
