Introduction
Hair bun refers to hair that is rolled up and tied into a spherical or hemispherical shape. It is called odango hair (お団子ヘア) in Japanese because of its resemblance to an odango. The most common are the single bun and the twin buns.
The origin of the hair bun is difficult to verify. Among them, the prototype of the twin buns is sispected to be an ancient Chinese hairstyle that was modified in later generations, the origin of the single bun is unknown, and it may be a hairstyle that has only become popular in modern times.
The hair bun is sometimes covered with a spherical cloth covet to prevent the bun from being undone or for aesthetic reasons. The bun is often paired with other hairstyles, such as the bun with twintails, the bun with braids, the bun with loose hair, etc.
Although there aren't many characters with hair buns in recent years, they are usually typical characters that can leave a dep impression on people. One of the characters with historical significance is Lynn Minmay, from the original Macross. Her early bun hairstyle was very popular, and the appearace of characters with hair buns in later works was also influenced by this to some degree.
