Pattern of five (sometimes more) vent-like holes arranged in a trapezoidal formation in two offset rows, a 'trademark' design element often found on [[mecha]] designs by [[Izubuchi Yutaka]]. Usually arranged in a pattern of three above and two below (3+2), as shown above. Often found in pairs along the sides of mecha head units, or on the shoulder pauldrons. The [[AV-98 Ingram]] features them on both its head (3+2, rotated) and shoulder (3+4) units.

h4. Notable 'characters'

* [[AV-98 Ingram]] ([[Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor]])
** Buchi Holes along the sides of its head and shoulder 'pauldrons'.
** The similarly named  [[AV-98 Ingram Unit 2]] [b]does not[/b] have these holes.
* [[Hygogg|MSM-03C Hygogg]] ([[gundam_0080|Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket]])
** Buchi Holes along the front of its shoulder 'pauldrons'.
* [[Z'Gok-E|MSM-07E Z'Gok-E]] ([[gundam_0080|Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket]])
** Buchi Holes on upper forearms and 'kneecaps'.
** The original [[Z'Gok|MSM-07 Z'Gok]] does not have these holes.
* [[Guncannon MP Type|RX-77D Guncannon Mass Production Type]]  ([[gundam_0080|Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket]]) 
** Buchi Holes along the front of its shoulder 'pauldrons'.
** The original  [[Guncannon|RX-77-2 Guncannon]]  does not have these holes.
* [[G-Spring Goddess (Ishiyumi)|]] ("The Goddess of the G-Spring":[/pools/17110])
** Carries a staff with two floating fins with Buchi Holes on each.
** Sometimes 'cosplays' as the [[Hygogg]], wearing shoulder pauldrons or 'skirt' flaps with Buchi Holes.

h4. Tag usage notes

* Tag buchi_holes when you see a visible pattern of five holes arranged in the pattern noted above. 
** The pattern may be rotated at an angle, such as seen on the [[AV-98 Ingram|Ingram]]'s head unit.
* Consider tagging buchi_holes when you see a similar pattern of seven or more holes, if they are 'aesthetically' similar to the five-hole version.
** e.g. The seven hole pattern on the [[AV-98 Ingram|Ingram]]'s shoulder 'pauldrons'.
* Avoid tagging buchi_holes for patterns with an even number of holes. These often tend to be 'speaker grille' units.
* Avoid tagging buchi_holes for patterns with 3 or less holes.
* Avoid tagging buchi_holes for patterns [b]not[/b] arranged in two rows, i.e. all in one row or in three or more rows.
* If you encounter a pattern of holes that you feel fits the general 'aesthetics' of Buchi Holes, you may disregard all the above "avoid" clauses and tag them buchi_holes anyway. But please be 'conservative' in this regard.
