Twintails (ツインテール Tsuintēru) is a type of hairstyle where the hair is tied on two sides of the head and left hanging down. From a Western perspective, it can be described as a "double ponytail."
Twintails is a popular hairstyle in Japanese media.
There are three ways that "Twintails" (ツインテール) is used on Pixiv:
- A type of hairstyle. As described above.
- A Kaiju that appears in the Ultraman series. → See Ancient Kaiju Twin Tail (古代怪獣ツインテール Kodai Kaijū)
- Yu-Gi-Oh! Original Card Game monster → See Twin Long Rods (ツインテール(遊戯王) Tsuintēru (Yu-Gi-Ō))
Moreover, some pictures have been uploaded to draw attention that the three above are often interpreted the same way, and some have been given specific tags such as The Twin Tail Pose and Twin Tail's Twin Tails.
Such many of these works are often tagged under the "Twinte" (ツインテ) abbreviation.
Therefore, if you simply search "ツインテール" on the search bar, you might miss certain illustrations.
As a workaround, try searching "ツインテ " and "ツインテール" together as a partial search to get the most consistent results.
Considering that it wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the abbreviations of "Twinte" (ツイテー) and "TwiTail" (ツイテル), it's a fortunate that these abbreviations have existed to begin with.
For characters with 'Pigtails,' 'Braid,' or 'Two Side Up,' see each of their corresponding articles.
Sorted by series name (*), and sub-ordered by character name. Series may be adjusted by iteration release date for each characters that appeared in.
(*)For convenience, characters whose names are not titles are also included, such as Kobe Shimbun-sha.
