That's actually surprisingly true.
My theory is that it's maybe because japan likes conformity and by making the main love interest black haired (which is the most common hair color in japan) it feeds into the relatability and love of the Japanese audience for a self insert towards the character as opposed to a foreign blond haired character.

Now that you mentioned it, I have to say yes.

I've never really gave this topic much thought, but the more deeply i look at it the more i see that pattern emerge from various anime i watched in the past.

Never really noticed the height difference thing, but blond does stick out a ridiculous amount tomake most mcs that color. Of the natural hair colors it is what I consider to be the most beautiful.

I have noticed that both blond boys and girls always win in love-triangle/harem situations and they usually have a shit personality and tend to be more popular among the fans because they are usually considered prettier. Never noticed the height thing though.

Do you think there's Japanese cultural reason as to why black haired characters are taller and favored over blond haired characters ?

It's surprising because in many of the visual novels i played and their anime adaptations i'd watched have the canon route usually go with the black haired girl most of the times while the blond girl route (while still part of the game/anime) is not the canon route or ending.

Or at least that's my perception of it from my experience.

Oh that's fair enough i guess, it's just that i noticed these elements on the ones that i played and seen. others may have different views than mine on the subject depending of the anime/games they experienced.

Yes I think the "long" black haired girl is always usually flat and taller than the other girl.

I have not noticed that in anime,  but thinking about it, yea, that seems to be a thing—also, the black-haired being the long-time friend character most of the time.

I noticed that Elda and Haira (they are blonds) are the tallest characters in the show, also zero love interests.
