| The latest fashion trend sweeping the nation of Japan sees schoolgirls wearing panties on their heads. MSN reports that young Japanese women have taken to putting panties on their heads, obscuring their faces. While this is fetish-food at its finest, it strikes the rest of us as rather odd. Then again, this is the same nation that gave us “bagel heads,” so in a strange way, becoming a panty-head sort of makes sense, I guess. Photos are popping up of Japanese schoolgirls donning panty masks while doing mundane activities like laundry and performing karaoke. But what started this trend? The popular theory shared by Kotaku and BuzzFeed is that an odd and eccentric Japanese superhero “Hentai Kamen” has inspired the trend. Billed as “the abnormal superhero” under salutations such as “panty bless you,” Hentai Kamen is a strange “homo-erotic parody of a Power Ranger” who wears panties on his head to conceal his identity and … nothing else. He’s got a film coming soon, but no one is really sure which came first: Hentai Kamen, or “kaopan” (face panties). Images of girls wearing panties on their faces first popped up on the popular otaku website Akiba Blog, and let’s just say the response has been mixed so far. “There’s a masked panty genre?” asked one confused reader. “I thought those where bandages” opined another. But “I really worry about this country” and, “The f***?” seem to be the the most relateable responses.

| I don't understand trends, be it Japanese or otherwise. Panties on your head? Sure why not? Crazy baggy Jnco Jeans? Go for it....wearing your shirt with one arm in and letting the rest sit on your shoulder? Alright... It will be gone in a year, But really?? Panties on your head? |

| Da Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| I wonder if this can be done in Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus. |
 |
| this can't be true....can it? lol pictures? photos? i gotta see this to believe it haha |

| Too old to be the "latest" trend. First read about this around 3-4 years ago. |
| Japan. Obsessed with panties since their history is first written. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Just when I think humanity can't disappoint me more than it has, it always finds a way to prove me horribly wrong.. |
| While Chinese women wear luchadors' mask to protect their faces from sun, Japanese ones wear panties on their faces for... shit and giggles? |

| sexual incest in nisomonogatari - no one bats an eye romance incest in SAO - everyone loses their minds |

| The fact that I'm not surprised that this is thing in Japan says it all really. |
It's her fault, I swear.  |
 |
| The trailer for "Hentai Kamen" is amazing; some must-watch material right there. |
| I was scrolling by when I saw the words, "Wearing Panties On Their Faces". I immediately thought of Hentai Kamen, For once I am proud of one of Japan's weird trends. |
 |
| It's hot! Very hot! |
