Why Don’t Anime Characters Have Pubic Hair?
Why has there been so few non- anime with pubic hair? I doubt TV stations would air it without it being censored, but couldn’t it still be added to the home release versions? I assume there isn’t a *huge* demand for it, but with so much adult manga/artbooks (and some adult anime) that have it and with Japanese women in general seemingly not bothering to shave as much as Western women, one would think that some companies would have broken the trend and did it by now.
While there have been a handful of anime that draw pubic hair on women (and an even smaller number that do so on men), anime characters are, by and large, body hair-free. The original reasons for this, of course, have to do with Japanese censorship laws. The first laws banning pornography — which were incredibly vague and didn’t go into any detail whatsoever about what was banned and what wasn’t — came into effect in 1907. Depictions of genitalia and intercourse were off-limits, of course, but censorship of sex took a back seat to other forms of censorship during the propaganda-heavy wartime years.
Since all that came to pass, things have lightened up even more. Japanese pornography now only bothers to (barely) censor very specific parts of the anatomy. We got pubic hair in many anime, as well as in more artistically minded anime like , the Berserk movies, and some Animator’s Expo shorts. But these are the exception, not the rule. I wonder if the aesthetics of the fans have, to some extent, adapted to the censorship: that despite its frustrating and arbitrary execution, that it’s simply something that everyone has gotten used to. I remember an interview with creator , saying how even he was kind of shocked the first time he saw anime adaptations of his work without the mosaic censorship it had in Japan. “Wow, is this what it looks like when it’s all hanging out?!” was his reaction.
