| Hand Behind Head | comment |
When nervous, embarrassed, or uncertain — or lying — a character will sometimes rub the back of their head/neck with one hand, often with a patently fake grin or laugh accompanying the gesture. It appears a lot in manga and anime as a simple way to show off someone's character or how they are feeling. It's often (but not always) accompanied by a Sweat Drop. Related to Face Palm and "Silly Me" Gesture. |

Naruto: Kakashi did this many times when trying to brush aside the reasons he was late for practice, or during any other display of Obfuscating Stupidity. Naruto does this too, presumably as a homage to Dragon Ball. His mother, Kushina, also does it, which is probably where he got it from Iruka does it too, especially as a child. |

Total Drama: Once Heather returns Eva's MP3-player in "The Big Sleep" with the story that she found it at the campfire site, Eva has to admit to the Killer Bass that no one stole her cherished possession after all and that her violent freakout and maltreatment of their possessions was unwarranted. She turns to them, puts her arm behind her head and apologizes for what she, after a moment of consideration, calls a misunderstanding. | |

Homestuck: Discussed when Dirk plans to confess his feelings for Jake and successfully Defied when their Relationship Upgrade happens. Ironically, after they break up, spend some time apart, and finally have a proper (if awkward) face-to-face talk, Dirk plays the trope straight, suggesting that he's moving past the emotional opacity and Control Freak tendencies that undermined their relationship the first time around. | |

Mass Effect: Commander Shepard has a tendency to do this when modestly acknowledging his/her deeds when admired. Other characters occasionally do it as well. In one side-mission in Mass Effect, it is specifically mentioned as a Character Tic one very minor character does when stressed. Since you are being asked to keep him distracted for a while, you are advised to press the subject when he starts doing this. |

Tarvek makes a frequent habit of this in Girl Genius; Gil does this occasionally as well. When Agatha orders Higgs to dress up as a Jagermonster along with a troop of actors to facilitate him dancing with Zeetha without breaking cover he starts second guessing himself and embarrassedly puts a hand behind his head while claiming it was a stupid idea, only for Zeetha to throw herself into his arms. |

In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, this was an idle animation that every NPC would eventually play if you waited long enough. (Considering the context, this was surprisingly appropriate.) | |

Sunset Shimmer starts doing this in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks, showing her insecurities. She notably puts a hand behind her head while admitting that she dated Flash Sentry just to get more popular, and again in Celestia's office later. It's still a frequent habit of hers in Friendship Games. | |

Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense.: Maple demonstrates a bit of her new Machine God transformation by equipping it only on her left arm. She then blushes while getting compliments and tries to scratch her head with it. There's a loud metalic bonk, and she reflexively says ow. But thank's to her high defense stats she's unhurt and unfazed. | |

Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice often do this in the court scenes if they make a mistake. They also do it if they are unsure about something; like, for example, when bringing up a piece of evidence without knowing exactly what's going on, they'll do this while explaining their usually shaky logic. Dick Gumshoe does this pretty often too. Phoenix Wright does this as his victory pose in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. |

Dr. STONE: One of Senku's Character Tics is rubbing the back of his neck while irritated. This turns out to be surprisingly important. He rubs his neck while in the presence of Tsukasa so that when Tsukasa inevitably betrays him, he'll unconsciously choose "shatter Senku's neck" as the best way of giving him a quick death. This is because the back of Senku's neck is still petrified, and he's seen the de-petrification formula restore even cracked statues to healthy flesh. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Sora does this a lot — often around Kairi or Naminé but basically whenever he's thinking about anything. Also, when Goofy scolds him for getting a little too aggressive, his apology involves this gesture. Axel / Lea also has a tendency to do this when uncomfortable. |

Sailor Moon: It's common for many of the characters to do this, but specifically: Usagi will do it if she's made a silly mistake or if she's embarrassed herself. Particularly, she usually does it to a loud, awkward cackle. Makoto does this the most, whether she's talking to a boy she's smitten with, or if she's trying to lie convincingly. |
