Riku's hair

[Hambone]

Why is Riku's hair gray? I mean, it's not bad, but, why grey?

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

bcuz some1 in his family must of had grey hair

[McLovin']

Sephiroth...

[Hambone]

maybe he dyed it. But who would dye their hair grey?

[StarlightAngel]

Because :

1. Following the anime/Japanese Video Game rule, at least one of the characters must have a strange color of hair. At least 50% of the characters have to have at least somewhat spiky hair.
2. It looks badarse.

And it's silver, not gray.

[Hambone]

Sora's hair is already spiky enough for the both of them, it does not look "badarse", and Kairi has the weird hair color. Nobody's hair color could possibly be that red. It's grey. If it were silver, it would be shiny.

[Chibi Youkai]

Kairi's hair isn't weird. It's red.
And Riku's hair is cool. And silver.

i died my hair gray

[Beoluve]

your kidding, right?

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Of course he is!!:D

[Hambone]

I hope.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

No really he is kidding.

[Hambone]

Are you sure?

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Of course im sure. Ive seen a pic of him..he is kidding.

[StarlightAngel]

Listen peoples. It. Is. A. Game. People are allowed to have impossible hair colors/styles, and the Japanese like to exercise this ability often in their games/anime. Silver is his natural hair color. That's it. He didn't dye it, he didn't do any crap to it, it's just silver. End of story.

And everyone's hair is kinda shiny, though more of a dull shine and not sparkly oh-em-gee-it-burns-my-eyes shiny.

Oh yes, and stop spamming this thread. Keep posts on topic and all off-topic conversation should be taken to PMs.

Maybe Riku inherited the hair color from his grandparents although, it would be a little late to receive that trait from them. I'm not saying his hair color is bad, in fact, it looks cool.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Like White Swan said, hair colour in anime/video games make no genetic sense. Look at Chibi-Usa (a.k.a. Rini/Small Lady from Sailor Moon). Her mother is a blonde, her paternal grandmother has white/grey/silver and her father has black. Does that make any sense? No. Is it suppose to? No.

[Psydekick]

Riku's hair in 2 looks greyer, where as in KH 1 its like slightly differnet:)

[McLovin']

It's anime. They all have weird weird hair colors. Take Pokemon. All the characters have colored hair.

[K-chan]

And Riku's hair is cool. And silver.

: ) Knew you'd hafta post something about silver hair. Knew it. And yeah, its an anime thing I guess. I mean, you look at other anime (or heck, even games) and you have people with blue hair, red hair, pink hair... you get the idea.

Or you know... Riku might just have stress problems and went gray early. : P

[Hambone]

Yeah. But all of those people have realistic hair colors...except for James.

[Mercen-X]

Sora's hair is already spiky enough for the both of them, it does not look "badarse", and Kairi has the weird hair color.
It really doesn't matter. He said that "at least one character must have spiky or weird colored hair." Didn't say "only one character . . ."

I personally think Riku would have looked just as cool (if not cooler) with jet-black hair instead of "silver."

Sora's hair bugs the he77 out of me.

[Hambone]

Sora's hair bugs the he77 out of me.
Same here.

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

im NOT kidding about the dying my hair grey people.....

[Hambone]

ahhhh, freshmen.

[Acid Raine]

Sora's hair bugs the he77 out of me.

Really Hm.....his shoes bothered me more than his hair. His shoes and his voice. (I hate Haley Joel Osment with a passion).

I kind of have mine grey. It was purple, but since I could not find permanant purple dye ANYWHERE, it washed out, and the bleach kind of made it a greyish-white. :P It doesnt look half bad, either. (See profile pic for example)

And I thought Riku's hair was a blue-grey.....

[Anniexo]

some people in games and anime from japan with have all kinds of hair coulors like sliver blue pink green it's a japan thing and riku's hair is a mix of sliver and light blue not gray

[Hambone]

grey.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Proof that it is not grey/gray:

Notice how here it has a blue hue to it...

See it is silver for it has natural white highlights in the light which suggest silver hair colour, for if it were gray, it would be a dull colour with no sheen especially not like Riku's.

[Hambone]

yeah, but the first pic was just popular fan artwork.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

No it is not. It is official artwork. If you care to look at the back of the KH I manual you will see it there. also I got it from the official artwork section at kh2.co.uk.

HILF . . .

You know, I hated the acting more than the voices. However, I do have a particular disliking of HoJO that I can't explain. And, yeah, the shoes bugged me too.

As for the argument on Riku's hair color, look at a pic of him beside a pic of Ansem. Ansem has grey hair. You'll see the difference.

[Acid Raine]

HILF . . ..

HILF? wtf.......

Ive heard of many "ILF"s but none with an H......

Good point on the Ansem thing....

[Hambone]

HILFI think it means Hair I'd Like To[!] F***[/!]*snip*.

[Acid Raine]

Wow....kinky

[Mossfoot]

I agree with it being silver. It just looks too white to be grey. Also, Kairi's hair color is not weird. My hair is that color, currently, which doesn't prove my point, but my freind's hair is IS naturally that color. I envy her.

[Cloud_omnislash_Strife]

Kairi's hair isn't weird. It's red.
And Riku's hair is cool. And silver.
what if she dyed her hair like my friend?

[* White Aeris *]

Maybe his hair has no pigments.... But yeah i think it's just like an anime thing.
