Now, while I've seen it infrequently elsewhere, I feel it is important to mention that there are other animated people with similar hair. Such as Kenji Murasame of Tetsujin 28, whose hair was actually part of sight gags (like when he put on a cloth face mask and his hair loudly sprang back up):

Inspector Shiratori from Detective Conan, whom had a lighter amount of the gene:

And now, I'm going to weird you all out...Neil Arthur, frontman of Blancmange, whom looked like this for the first half of the eighties:

For a female side, Kei from Dirty Pair had a similar but not exactly true Tenma hairstyle, so maybe the gene is rare in females.

...Okay, so clearly I'm making up the part of it being a gene, but I just wanted to goof off tonight. Aside from my examples, has anybody else noticed Tenma hair in non-Tezuka media?
