The following research aims to analyze the development of visual representations of anime shonen characters through archetypes, taking as a reference anime from the eighties and contemporary productions. As a hypothesis, it was proposed that currently the shonens have a broader development in the design of their characters due to the fact that archetypes are no longer used as personality patterns and fixed visual elements, as was done in past decades. Now, for this research a descriptive scope has been determined; which aims to identify various visual elements that are part of the anime shonen characters, as well as the changes they have had from the eighties to the present; in addition to recognizing the existence of patterns in its design and how the archetypes come to be related to them. Thus, the results obtained show differences between the representation of visual archetypes of the Shonen in the eighties and the current Shonens. While characters from decades past show fixed and mostly predictable visual patterns, contemporary characters are more unpredictable in their visual representation. Finally, it was determined that archetypes are currently used as a starting point to define a character, but said representation can change or be combined with others, generating characters that are unpredictable and different from those of past decades.
