A common physical trait found in samurai or Japanese nobility is long hair bound up near the back of the head or almost at the top. Generally, this will fall into two categories. First, when signifying nobility, it shows that a character is cultured, traditional, and otherwise showing classical Japanese virtues. In this case, the hair will be long, straight, very clean, and neat. Normally, they will be stoic or reserved. Frequently, such a character is also martially adept and it will show in their manner. The second way this is used is to simply give a quick cue that someone is a samurai. In theory, samurai are supposed to be noble and cultured as well, but it is not uncommon for them to have their appearance much less cared for presumably due to not having the time or inclination. The hair itself will also frequently be a good deal shorter. In terms of mannerisms, if someone has this second style of hair they will be less clean and organized and are frequently more gruff, down to earth, or aggressive in their attitude. In both cases, the hair can be seen as a status symbol. Even a thug samurai has a certain level of social class that they are supposed to uphold. Compare Sailor's Ponytail which is the closest Western equivalent, and Hime Cut which is another haircut indicative of status. See also Tomboyish Ponytail, which can have similar connotations to the second type, and Barbarian Longhair. |

The eponymous Samurai Jack, naturally. He more closely fits into the first part of the trope. Jack's ponytail is very neat but also very compressed, as frequently it comes loose in battle and he sports long thick hair that sometimes just comes to his shoulders, sometimes halfway down his back. As of Season Five, however, he no longer ties up his hair, letting it loose into a messy mane. It, along with his beard, shows that he has fallen into a deep, shame-filled depression and it's only after he comes out of it does his hair return to a tight ponytail. | |

Fire Emblem: Yen'fay in Fire Emblem: Awakening sports one, fittingly enough, since the Swordmasters in this game resemble samurai, and his home country has strong Wutai vibes. Fire Emblem Fates: Takumi sports a particularly long one as well. However, he fits the "nobility" variant more; he's a prince of a nation that has just as strong Wutai vibes (if not more so) as Yen'fay's. Takumi's retainer Hinata is sporting one as well (it's specifically mentioned in supports that he's imitating Takumi), and his base class actually is Samurai (the base form of the Swordmaster class in this game). Felix, canonically promotes into the samurai-inspired Swordmaster and Mortal Savant classes. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses he wears either a man-bun (Academy Phase) or a Sailor's Ponytail (War Phase)that are evocative of the trope. His new design in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes sports a proper one. Unlike previous examples in the series, he has no connection to any Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Japan. |

In Seven Samurai, all seven feature the short-and-straight version, except the drunken badass portrayed by Mifune, who has a short-and-messy version. Early in the film, the samurai Kambei allows his to be cut off and his head shaved, so he can disguise himself as a monk in order to rescue a child from a kidnapper. This shows that he'd rather do the right thing than follow samurai "honor". The people watching Kambei's haircut are a bit shocked that he's willing to cut his hair. The short-and-messy version worn by Mifune's character is the first clue given to the audience that he is not like the others. He's actually peasant pretending to be a samurai. |

In Muv-Luv, Meiya sports this hair style. While she is merely incredibly wealthy in Muv-Luv Extra rather than genuine nobility, in Muv-Luv Unlimited and Muv-Luv Alternative she is directly related to the shogunate. Her twin sister Yuuhi, the shogun, also sports this hairstyle. The duty and responsibilities come quite naturally to her and she almost seems to fit better in this rather brutal world. | |

Made a plot point to go along with the deconstruction of the samurai legend in the 1962 film Harakiri. A warlord and his samurai force a young man to kill himself in the name of honour. His father-in-law takes his revenge by challenging them to duels and taking their ponytails rather than killing them, forcing them to either commit harakiri themselves or reveal themselves as cowardly bullies. | |

Zuko had one in the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Iroh has something more similar to a topknot. Both of them cut them off after it becomes clear the Fire Nation regards them as traitors.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has Noah wearing one, and this time the samurai aesthetic is more pronounced due to him wielding a sword. Fitting, considering 3 is largely a Broad Strokes remake of Xenogears. Especially fitting since Noah's sword is actually a sheathe for Lucky Seven, which heavily resembles a samurai's uchigatana. | |

Lone Wolf and Cub: Most of the samurai do this, though some ninja (including the Big Bad Yagyu Retsudo) do not. It becomes a plot point when a woman who seeks revenge on a high-ranking samurai begins killing the samurai's subordinates and then cutting the ponytails off of their dead bodies, an act of supreme disrespect (which could endanger their souls according to the beliefs of the time). This offense draws the high-ranking samurai out and leads him to hunt the woman down, at which point she's able to challenge him to a duel and win. | |

Onmyoji: Seimei has his Mystical White Hair done up in a loose ponytail using ribbons. Being the stoic kind-hearted badass he is, he falls into the first category. Hangan's ponytail is much looser, but he fits the samurai archetype much more. He even uses sessha, a typical first-person pronoun for samurai. |

Katsumoto's son, Nobutada, sports one in The Last Samurai. When the Meiji government passes laws restricting the rights of the Samurai, he is subjected to a very undignified public haircut by the emperor's guards. | |

In the mildly comedic Yojimbo and its more blatantly comedic follow-up Sanjuro, Mifune is a poor wandering Rōnin with a short, scruffy ponytail that sticks straight out of the back of his head. | |

Yen'fay in Fire Emblem: Awakening sports one, fittingly enough, since the Swordmasters in this game resemble samurai, and his home country has strong Wutai vibes. | |

The main style of Kenshin of Rurouni Kenshin. Played with, as he is often considered feminine looking and the historical figure he's based on (Kawakami Gensai) successfully disguised himself as a woman and hid out in a brothel after an assassination at least once. | |
