[color=#007520]All Dragonball Z discussion should go in the Dragonball Z thread, but since I think this has merit for a more general discussion, I'm changing the title of your thread.

As for the question itself, I think it depends on your definition of "bishounen'. In the literal sense, I don't think Vegeta would fit the title 'pretty boy'. He has that large forehead caused by what appears to be hair loss (though I know Saiya-jin never lose their hair) and he almost has a unibrow.
He does, though, appear to fit with the whole misunderstood, "badass" type with a troubled past bishounen cliché.

I think there should be two general types of bishounen and beneath those, many subtypes. The first would be those who actually look pretty. The second would be those who don't look pretty but fit the character descriptions of classic/popular bishounen clichés. As for the subtypes, I think those are covered pretty well in the first episode of Ouran High School Host Club. 8)

Hahahaha :rotflmao: That is too funny. To each his/her own, right? But I do agree that the main characteristic about Vegata that draws many girls to him is his whole "badass" attitude. I think. :animeswea
