角刈り


Explanation:
If you mean like a crew cut, then this is the word. It's pronounced "Kakugari." (Lit. Square cut)

丸刈り (marugari) is a similar hairstyle. It¥'s like a buzz cut--really short hair w/equal height all around. The Kakugari style, on the other hand, has slightly longer hair on top, so it looks kind of box-shaped.
