goggleboy

Any number of goggle-wearing protagonists found in anime and manga. Characterized by massive aviator or welding goggles worn around the neck or head. If there is a group of misfit kids, the goggleboy is always the leader. Usually spiky-haired and hyperactive, goggleboys are a staple of the media along with catgirls and giant robots.

Contrary to the name, goggleboys do not always need to wear goggles. Non-functioning sunglasses, bandannas, or just extra spiky hair along with single-minded determination and hyperactivity qualify for goggleboy status. Not all goggle wearing boys qualify for goggleboy status.

Tai and all his successors from Digimon are eponymous to the goggleboy image.

"Just cause your obnoxious and wearing those speedo goggles around your neck, doesn't mean I'm going to follow you though the woods."

"But I'm the goggleboy! I've got tons of cute charisma so you have to do what I say."

"No. Just, no."
