ahoge
アホ毛, literally, "stupid hair". A single (usually short and fat) lock of hair that sticks out of a character's head. Essentially a much smaller and stylized cowlick. Example characters include Himeko, Saber, Kongou, and Me-tan.
Although the character design element was popular for decades before that, the name ahoge in particular was popularized by Pani Poni Dash!, whose resident hyperactive airhead Himeko's ahoge was named as such directly by the characters. (And was a plot point.)
Hence, while it is called "idiot hair" for that character, and many notable idiot characters have it, it's been in place long enough that a huge number of non-idiot characters have them as well.
To be differentiated from antenna hair, which is two or more thin locks of hair as opposed to only one.
NOT to be confused with ahegao.

尽管角色设计元素在此之前已经流行了几十年，但“ahoge”这个名字尤其是由 Pani Poni Dash! 流行起来，其常驻的过度活跃的傻瓜 Himeko 的 ahoge 是由角色直接命名的。 （这是一个情节点。）
因此，虽然该角色被称为“白痴头发”，并且许多著名的白痴角色都拥有它，但它已经存在了足够长的时间，以至于大量非白痴角色也拥有它们。
与触角毛不同，触角毛是两束或多束细细的头发，而不是只有一束。
