Traditional headgear worn in Japan, known as hachimaki, is a strip of cloth tied around the head. Think Daniel-san from The Karate Kid. It is often decorated with a written slogan (frequently Nippon Ichi, "No. 1 in Japan"), serving as a sort of tee shirt for the forehead. Commonly worn by warriors, protestors, students studying for exams, or anyone who needs to keep sweat from dripping into their eyes be serious and focused on something. Or by drunk salarymen (see Necktie Headband). The act of putting one on is generally used as an expression of willpower and a change in mood, not unlike Let's Get Dangerous!, but it doesn't have to involve violence. Donning a headband with a slogan or motto relevant to your training before undergoing Training from Hell is generally the straight use. It occasionally sees Mundane Made Awesome moments, however, in being used to "pump up" a character's willpower before significantly more mundane things, like scrubbing out one's stinky toilet. Though somewhat more direct and symbolic, as a gesture, its use mostly mirrors rolling up one's sleeves, or adjusting a helmet / roguishly tilting one's hat for a more martial context. It projects a daring "I got this, bring it on" attitude of emotional readiness and determination to tackle a challenge head-on (while the drunken version looks just like any other misguided attempt at inebriated machismo via inappropriate undressing). |

In Bleach, Urahara told Ichigo to wear a hachimaki and yell an embarrassing chant "Take this! The Power of Justice! Justice Armor, Justice Hachimaki! Equip!"note English version: "Amazing Headband of Justice in place, Amazing Armor of Justice protect me!" to stand a chance on fighting his dangerous sparring partner that could kill him in one blow. He did so, but found out that he's just being had by Urahara. It even shows up in the filler arc, having been equipped with a sensor allowing Ichigo to locate the Bount — and still requires the chant to activate. Rukia is naturally confused with Ichigo's reaction to it. An earlier episode has Keigo Asano offer Ichigo a pair of geeky glasses and a "complimentary nerd headband" to wear after Keigo finds out that Ichigo ranks much higher than Keigo expected, academically. Ichigo punched him in the face through the glasses. |

In Chapter 24 of Asteroid in Love, Mira mentions her usual image of twelfth-grade students involves them studying hard while wearing these headbands as well as Opaque Nerd Glasses, so the idea of Mikage having bypassed them with the principal's recommendation system feels a bit anticlimactic to her. | |

Maudlin of Garry Kilworth's Welkin Weasels: Heastward Ho! borrows a red headband with a phrase written in "Asian" letters on it when battling a pirate junk. He's very fond of the headband and assumes in his usual daydreamy manner that "No doubt it read something like GREAT WARRIOR or UNDEFEATABLE ONE". Nobody has the heart to tell him it actually reads "Number One Stir-Fry Chef". | |

Worn by the main character of the Virtua Fighter series, Akira Yuki, a martial artist who specializes in the Bajiquan style of Kung Fu. Although his martial art is Chinese, Akira himself is Japanese. Originally he uses a white headband to go along his white gi, but his headbands tend to change depending on his different costumes. His newer main costume has him sporting a red headband, and other variations include black or blue. | |

Discworld: When the Dean starts getting gung-ho in Reaper Man, he tears a strip off his robe and makes a headband. Magrat wears one when practising martial arts in Witches Abroad, but people keep confusing it for a bandage. Parodied later on in Maskerade, when the Librarian decides that it's time for some dramatic organ music to support the action: he takes off his bow tie and ties it around his head so that he looks like a "really formal kamikaze". On one cover of Pyramids, main character Pteppic, an Assassin, is inexplicably wearing one. Not one of the worst examples of Covers Always Lie, but still...odd. (The Assassins only wear black; the headband isn't.) Presumably the illustrator was a bit confused about the difference between Assassins and Ninjas. |

Worn by many characters in The King of Fighters. One of the special teams in KOF '98 is actually called the "Headband Team": Goro Daimon, Joe Higashi and Yuri Sakazaki. Yuri's headband lacks the Japanese red sun, though (hers is entirely red), and the team's ending artwork shows the other two forcing a proper hachimaki on her. One notable example is Kyo Kusanagi. At first, when he was a high-schooler, he wore a white headband, and when the series transitioned from the Orochi to the NESTS arc, one of the signs of Kyo's Character Development was the change of threads - which meant the headband had to go too. In his KOF 99 first round intro, he even takes the headband off his head and burns it in his hand. It eventually returns as of KOF XV. |

Azumanga Daioh: In the last Sports Fest, Sakaki starts out wearing a headband. But when her friend and classmate Chiyo-chan is taunted about her running, Sakaki takes it to the next level: she ties her hair back with her headband before taking the racing baton. Azumanga Daioh also uses it in the festival in the last school year, where Kagura, Tomo and Sakaki dress as punks with these on. |

Mortal Kombat: Sonya Blade wore a black martial arts headband in her earlier appearances. While it has become an iconic part of his design, Liu Kang didn't wear start wearing his iconic red headband until Mortal Kombat II.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in the episode "Rivals", had a scene where Miles O'Brien was psyching himself up for a charity racquetball match against Bashir, who stomped him when they first played. Keiko, who throughout the episode took on an air of mild amusement regarding the whole thing, sent him off to the match by wrapping a silk scarf scented with her perfume around his head, kissing him soundly and whispering, "Kick his butt." | |

Naruto: All ninja candidates are given headbands with the village's symbol carved into the metal forehead guard when they graduate the academy and become genin. Most of them continue to wear their headbands even after they become chunin, although many wear it in places other than their heads. For some examples, Kakashi uses his as an Eyepatch of Power, Sakura wears hers as a hairband, and Hinata wears hers as a necklace. A scar across the village symbol of the hitai'ate indicates the wearer has chosen to abandon their village permanently, notably done by all members of Akatsuki. Zabuza never scarred his, as he intended to return (and take over). |

The Choice Band and Focus Band in Pokémon are often drawn as such. Some trainer NPCs also wear these. Additionally, the male protagonist in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions wears a headband. Unfortunately, the manga makes it out to be some sort of beanie, while the game art makes it pretty clear it's a headband. Since Game Freak has basically done a Shrug of God and only confirmed it's a headband, Ruby (of Pokémon Adventures) has a hat due to the artist thinking of it as so. Another one volume manga by another artist had it as a hat too, probably a Follow the Leader case. Ruby of Pocket Monsters plays this straight like his game counterpart. |

The members of the Tsubakihara team wear yellow hachimaki headbands, which suit their blue and yellow uniforms, when they play at Nationals. The headbands also has their school name written on them, but this detail is ommited in the anime adaptation. |

The Light Inheritors manga, an adaptation of the plot of the second generation of the game, has Seliph without the headband while he lives quietly, hiding from the Loptrian Empire that is hunting him, while underneath the protection of his Parental Substitutes Oifey and Shannan. He dons it after resolving that he'll take the fight to the Empire directly, and grow strong enough that he won't need to be protected anymore. | |

Lannote Netto in the original Japanese version., the human hero of Mega Man Battle Network, wears a headband with Mega Man's Navi symbol (also the series logo) on it. Just about everyone in the Mega Man Battle Network series seems to have their Navi symbol somewhere on themselves, either on their shirt, as their earrings, or even as their hairpins. As for someone else who also has something resembling a hairband, the nature-loving Salnote Saloma in the Japanese version. has a brown hairband with Woodman's Navi symbol. |

Unsurprisingly, resident Ryu Fangirl Sakura also wears one. Also, Alex from the III series. Makoto of Third Strike wears one around her neck, making it more of a Scarf of Asskicking. |

In Afro Samurai, the Hakimachi is Serious Business, as the "Number One" headband supposedly confers the power of a God, and wars have been fought over it. (Afro himself is a constant assassination target due to wearing the "Number Two" headband that confers him the right to challenge "Number One".) | |

Cobra Kai sees the return of Karate Kid's Johnny Lawrence, complete with his signature black headband. It even gets a backstory of its own, being a present that Ali Mills (Johnny's ex-girlfriend from the Karate Kid film) gave him. Actor William Zabka explains Johnny's entire mindset changes when he puts his headband on, although he is mocked for it a couple of times during the series. Daniel Larusso's iconic Okinawan flower Headband also makes a return. | |
