By now the trope [mystical white
hair](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MysticalWhiteHair?from=Main.WhiteHairedPrettyGirl)
is used by everyone and their cat, we have loads of characters who appear
young yet have white / silver hair, either because they were born that way /
used magic or other powers / had a traumatic experience etc.

Which was the first anime that had a young character with white hair?

Who was the first young character in anime to appear with white hair?


Originally, anime and manga tended to have black, dark brown, and redhead hair
color. Often it was stylized in the manga pages and illustrations, so many
characters might've had white hair then. Although it was'nt really canon
design. Then the whole "colorful hair\eyes, sometimes crazy hairstyles" thing
became more common as actual canon design in both anime and manga, and thus
white hair started appearing alongside blue, green, purple, violet, fuchsia,
pink, bright red, grey, teal, cyan, bright yellow, bright orange...

So it might've easily been more than one character at the same time.
