This is a sub-trope of Anime Hair, which is known as the Hair Intakes

A sub-trope of Anime Hair, this hairstyle resembles the hood scoops on a muscle car and also looks a bit like cat ears, allowing for the visual appeal of the Cat Girl in series that are too "realistic" to actually feature such a supernatural creature. Seems to be more common among females, though male examples are plentiful as well.

Seems to be especially prevalent in Visual Novels.

    This is literally what the Japanese call it, the ["Intake" hairstyle](https://web.archive.org/web/20181007222519/https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%86%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF_(%E9%AB%AA%E5%9E%8B)) ("inteku kamigata"), after the openings on certain car hoods that channel air into the engine.
