I would only assume that it's for the same reason why so few anime characters have facial hair. Japanese people bathe every day and are always clean shaven. I don't think people like this would be the kind of people to not shave their armpits. They're also short, look juvenile until much later in life, and consider fangs to be attractive because they resemble children's teeth.

Because anime characters are PERFECT.

They also don't have any skin problems, they always have perfect teeth, perfect hair, they're thin and fit, guys have plenty of muscle, girls have great tits and ass...

HMM....it's almost like they are fantasy created beings for our delight....

Who would've thought!
As true as this may be, these are all subjective from the Japanese perspective. Wabi-sabi is the name for the philosophy of imperfection being desirable. Fetishes for things like yaeba, flat chests, abusive girlfriends, and other things that we would view as "imperfect" are common in Japan. However, anything related to improper hygiene is not considered attractive at all.

Tsundere are quite often abusive girlfriends with flat chests and/or yaeba, and I think we all know how common they are.

I facepalmed so hard........... tbh almost every anime character lack any type of hair besides (sometimes) beard and actual hair.........if you pay attention... besides I'm p sure hair on armpits is def not that pleasing to most ppl, like. 99% of the ppl. Its not considered sexy, its gross af and its not convenient at all even irl sooo idk.

not to mention it's not really worth the effort drawing them


Lol how is armpit hair gross?
I mean its just hair, like everyone has on top of their head and over your body.
People need to stop thinking bodyhair is gross or something cause shaving it doesnt make you cleaner or anything like that, thats just a aesthetic thing.

But to answer the question it think its too much of a drag to animate it for male characters. Since females shave it anyway.

1. Most Japanese don't have that much body hair.
2. It would actually take effort to draw.
3. Most men don't like women with hairy pits. You must be French.

Same reason why we rarely see characters in games, cartoons, movie etc have armpit hair. Heck even WWE wrestlers don't have it. (At least most of them if not all)

Most people like to see it shaved clean.
At least justify your opinions instead of just saying "it's my opinion". It would've been more polite.

Japanese people like to shave their armpits alot.
Also it would take alot of effort animating armpit hair and it looks better without it(I'm excluding external fetishes okay).

For a "hairy" guy it looks like he shaves his armpits, belly and most of his face while keeping the facial hair he has short though.

I'm not a fan of body hair so I'm really glad it's not common. Real humans are hairy gorillas, like myself. If I could be an anime character I'd be perfectly shaven all the time.

All this "Asians aren't hairy" business....and yet every 3D Jap porno I watch has girls who have probably never heard of a razor where it matters most.

And I'm not some guy that fixated of pubic hair, but goddamn, at least don't let it become so hairy!
