Awesome gloves that are made entirely out of wrapping bandages or cloth around the hands and knuckles. Often seen during poses flying free or being wrapped using the character's mouth. Boxers tend to wear these since normal boxing gloves aren't cool enough for fiction. Application usually takes place in the montage before a fight. When you see these on a female character, don't be surprised if she wears a sarashi as well. Truth in Television, as wearing hand wraps is generally a good idea. The compression helps reduce metacarpal fractures and braces the wrist, which is very important when your blow doesn't land dead on. That and boxing gloves are really uncomfortable without that extra layer. But not all the time... Compare Power Fist. Examples |

Sleepless Domain: Heartful Punch, a Cute Bruiser Magical Girl, is seen wearing hand wraps in her first appearance. Her design is tweaked slightly by the time she is properly introduced, and she no longer wears them. Knuckle Thrash, another magical girl with a Japanese Delinquent theme, often wears hand wraps in her civilian form. Interestingly enough, they disappear in her Magical Girl form, when she gains a pair of brass knuckles as her weapon of choice. |

Kickboxer. The final fight has them dip their handwraps in glue, then glass to make their punches more lethal. The scene is parodied in Hot Shots! Part Deux with Topper Harley dipping his handwraps in caramel, sprinkles, and gummy bears. | |

Naruto: Rock Lee wears those. He actually unwraps them during a fight, to restrain the enemy for his Meteor Move. Neji also had these. He stopped wearing them after the timeskip. Sasuke also has these for a short time in the Chunin Exam arc. A flashback shows that Rock Lee's mentor Might Gai had them in his youth. When she was an active Jonin Kurenai Yuhi wore them as well. And now Naruto wears some on his right hand, having lost the original one during his final fight with Sasuke, he keeps his prosthetic wrapped up. |

Fallout: New Vegas features boxing tape, the most durable and most powerful of the fatigue-inflicting unarmed class of weapons. An unreleased unique version called the Starlet's Hand Wraps has shown up in the Dead Money Expansion Pack game files. These are notable for being fifteen times more powerful than regular boxing gloves (and doing thirty times the Critical Hit damage of the same), ten times as durable as boxing tape, and have a feature where punching enemies usually ends up knocking them down with stunning electrical blasts to boot. | |

Sleeping Dogs (2012): Enemy Triad Brawlers all have handwraps, though it's particularly noticeable with the ones working for Big Smile Lee, since they would be rather well dressed otherwise. In the Zodiac Tournament DLC, Muai-Thai expert Karl Chu also wears these, and beating him and unlocking his outfit (or unlocking the Bon Gak outfit in the main game) can let Wei wear these as well. | |

Danganronpa In the first game, Sakura Ogami wears them around her lower arms and around her legs, going all the way up to her knees. Fitting for the Ultimate Martial Artist. In the second game, Gundham Tanaka, the Ultimate Animal Breeder, has them on both of his arms, which works quite well visually with the Evil Overlord persona he projects. His actual reason for it, though, is because he sometimes has to break up physical fights between his four hamsters when they get into each others' territory, and gets scratches and bites on his arms in the process. |

All Muay Thai fighters wear these in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple. Since Kenichi's custom-made training uniform (introduced in Chapter 145) was patched up from pieces of outfits for various martial arts (which reflects various fighting styles of his mentors), it also includes a pair of such bandages. Ikki Takeda also wears these on a constant basis since, well, he IS a boxer. |

Sonic Boom's interpretation of the cast sees all of them wrapping some part of themselves with tape. Knuckles has his arms and hands wrapped with tape, complimenting his punch-centric combat style and topheaviness. Tails has his legs and shoes taped as well. This is known as spatting, which helps mitigate the risk of injury. Sonic has elements from both Knuckles and Tails's designs, for the same reasons listed. Amy has her wrists taped and a sarashi around her waist. No point wielding a hammer that size if it throws out your wrists or your back every time you swing it. |

Walt, one of the only two male kangaroo villagers in the Animal Crossing series, wears these, alluding to the fact that he is a more discret example of a Boxing Kangaroo (Unlike Rooney, the other male kangaroo, who plays the trope straight). | |

In the second game, Gundham Tanaka, the Ultimate Animal Breeder, has them on both of his arms, which works quite well visually with the Evil Overlord persona he projects. His actual reason for it, though, is because he sometimes has to break up physical fights between his four hamsters when they get into each others' territory, and gets scratches and bites on his arms in the process. | |

Budi from Troublemaker wears bandages around his fists that exposes his fingers when he's busy punching bullies in the noggins, and removes them when he's studying. Several of the bosses also have this fashion. | |

The Legend of Korra: Korra breifly dons versions that cover her forearms when she joins an Underground Fight Club in disguise. Subverted, as instead of making her look more awesome, it's part of a Significant Wardrobe Shift indicating her recovery is taking longer than expected. | |

Daniel Rand, The Iron Fist, has wrist/forearm wraps in his modern green costume, as well as his white costume, with taped fingers as needed. While awesome, unlike his suit, they are not fireproof, which he learned the hard way. | |

In the recent Tekken games, there's Steve Fox, a British boxer. His "main" costume has classic boxing gloves (along with very loud shorts), while his second costume is "civilian" clothes, with fistwraps. Heihachi Mishima also often uses fistwraps, while his descendants seem to prefer half-gloves. Guess he's just "old school." Muay Thai fighters Bruce Irvin and Fahkumram also wear hand wraps. | |

Adon, Akuma and Sagat from Street Fighter. Sagat and Adon are special cases as they wraps their hands and feet to go with their fighting style Muay Thai. Cody of Final Fight also tapes his hands, although this is partially to hide the scars on his fists from continually punching through walls (usually to escape from prison in more recent appearances). His brother Kyle, from Streetwise, takes up the tradition when Cody stops wearing them. |
