Gogglehead



"Gogglehead" is a term that was first coined by Rika Nonaka in Digimon Tamers for fellow DigiDestined, Takato Matsuki, who (as the presumptive "leader" character of the season) wears goggles in a similar fashion to the previous two DigiDestined leader characters (Taichi "Tai" Kamiya and Davis Motomiya, who, in Takato's universe, are only television characters). The term has become a demonym for all DigiDestined "leader" characters in the five seasons of the Digimon anime, even though the most recent "leader" character, Marcus Damon, doesn't visibly wear any goggles.

Outside of Digimon, however, goggles are also an urban fashion statement in the Japan and the West of the real world, with a particular association with cybergoth and steampunk subcultures and extensive historic usage in superhero multimedia.
