Headband

Headbands are such a versatile piece of kit in anime character design. You'll note that they can be everything from the iconic hitai-ate donned by ninjas to the simple hachimaki sported during arduous training sessions or during a festival. It's a piece of kit that perfectly frames the face of the character, accentuating their resolute look or giving the impression of rugged style.

It's a piece of kit that fans love because of the variety of genres it appears in, ranging from battle shonen to slice-of-life sports anime. The level of detail in the artwork includes the clear lines used to draw the fabric of the headband and the blur effects used to give the image depth. And let's be honest, the level of detail in the metallic plate reflecting the neon pink or orange hues looks stunning on a high-resolution screen.
