I'm assuming -- since I can't understand Japanese -- that their hair colors don't play into the storyline in any way, so it would seem the only reason this was done is because it's somewhat of an anime tradition to give characters unusual hair color. Nonetheless, for a game like Policenauts, which spends so much effort on attention to detail and creating a realistic atmosphere, it just seems strange to give a few of the characters odd hair coloring, while others look perfectly normal. Why would Kojima willingly add something so out-of-place in his world as a main character with blue hair that just makes the whole thing seem ridiculous on face-value?
Maybe Jonathan dyed his hair. Same with Tony.

These unrealistic hair colours are common place in anime. Even some of the most serious ones.

Doesn't make it any less unusual to me. Japanimation is much too obsessed with panties, breasts, and hair, but at least I can understand their obsession with the first two.
