A humanoid character who sports sharp teeth, typically resembling two rows of triangles. This is often a sign that the character is Little Bit Beastly, a Half-Human Hybrid, or some kind of monstrous creature. However, even human characters.. Jagged Teeth In manga and anime, sometimes characters have "jagged teeth," giza-ba ギザ歯, also called "shark teeth," same-ba サメ歯, which are teeth drawn like two rows of sharp triangles. Typically, characters that have triangular teeth may appear comically devious and monstrous. Some of them are indeed monsters, though most are not.
Some sharp-toothed anime characters have enlarged and sharpened canines without actually being a vampire, including the shapeshifting My Hero Academia villain Himiko Toga, a member of the League of Villains criminal group. Her sharp teeth, combined with her agility and yellow eyes, make her oddly similar to a cat.. Sharp, fanged teeth are a universal identifier of a predator, too, so anyone who sees fangs or a maw full of sharp teeth will instantly feel threatened. Can be an indicator of an evil character, although good ones aren't disqualified (though even the good characters with teeth like this will typically still have some bestial, brutish traits).
