It is simply because such features stand out and make that person a gaijin. The only thing that IS associated with being a delinquent or part of the yakuza is piercings and tattoos.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Well, the delinquent thing is<em>bleached</em>hair.  There was at least one anime (Haganai I think) where the main character "looks like a thug;" people think he bleaches (and tend to whack him while he tries to say his mom is British).<br/><br/>See also Kanji in Persona 4 (although he does bleach and absolutely is a delinquent).
