Genta's Bald Spot?

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me why Genta has a bald spot on his left temple. Is there some culturally significant reason for a round spot to be shaved there?

Maybe he had a shaving accident? :o

What if he used to have an AFRO!?! :o

He's already exhibiting Male Pattern Baldness at seven, it's just not beginning at the crown of his head.

Or he's been held back for years and is actually forty-five.

My serious guess is that it was something Aoyama-sensei drew in for his early appearances to make him look like a miniature hard man, and it got kind of stuck before anyone started thinking seriously about a first-grader having a bald patch.

Lol.

Maybe he was old and had that bald spot, then he used APTX and shrank.

*Gasp* He's the BO boss!

;D

It's proof that Genta is actually a devil. If you look really really closely... 666 is tattooed there.

Genta: The Dumbass Devil.  :o

Is a serious answer really too much to hope for? :P

(Well, OK, I got one serious guess, but…)

I love threads like these~ They always open up so many crazy ideas~

*tries to imagine Genta with an afro*
He ran into Dance Man and got afro'd. He tried to shave it off and accidently cut off too much.

He has a disease called [url=http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.c ... tillomania]Trichotillomania.

It says: "Individuals with trichotillomania can live relatively normal lives; however, they may have bald spots on their head, among their eyelashes, pubic hair, or brows."

I think that's as serious as we can get, Robotech_Master.

Ironically, I have trichotillomania, and didn't even consider that as a possibility for Genta's patch. (Thinking about it, I still don't. It's too regular and too small. And I'd think his Mom would shave his head to prevent him from pulling more hair out and looking funny.)

You have Trichotillomania? How do you control it?

(No offense ;D)
