* Usso Evin in ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Victory Gundam]]'', who is the second youngest [[Gundam]] protagonist at the tender age of 13 but also lived mostly alone and takes care of/is friends with the even younger 11 year old shakti. He [[Gundamjack|GundamJacks]] a mobile suit mid-air singlehandedly for himself, and has to be blackmailed (in a way) to pilot the titular Gundam. In a aversion of this trope, people only make fun of him when he's being childish since whenever he's being serious... well, [[Darker and Edgier|it's not funny.]]

* Mokuba Kaiba from the (second) ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime. A clear case of [[Bowdlerization]], since in the original manga he qualifies more as an [[Enfant Terrible]] (but responsible, for that). His big sister is a big brother.

* Boo from ''[[Now and Then Here and There]]'' is adorable, loyal, protective, loving, responsible, mature, kind, innocent (but not for long), and realistic. He's also a child soldier, forced to fight in a mad king's army. The responsibility on his shoulders is staggering. Doesn't have a [[Cool Big Sis]], but latches onto the series' [[Ensemble Darkhorse]], even {{spoiler|taking a bullet for him}}.

* ''[[Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei]]'' has Majiru, Nozomu's nephew, who looks to be around 7-9 and sorta looks like a mini version of Nozomu. A bit snarky/mouthy, but still cute. He's not actually responsible for anything, but he acts very mature and sophisticated for his age. And he & [[Hikikomori|Kiri Komori]] seem to be developing [[Shotacon|feelings for each other]].

* Shippo in ''[[Inuyasha]]'' is the equivalent age for a young kitsune and, despite being a crybaby at times, often takes delight in being more emotionally mature than Inuyasha himself.

* Shinra from ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''. He's a kid genius and often the least emotional of the Gullwings. A bit unusual in that he is wearing a suit that covers him completely, including his face.

* Pierre from ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' would be an almost archetypal example, between his cute, childish appearance, and his mature, sophisticated behavior... Except for that fact that no-one ever fails to take him seriously, even though he looks younger than every other character that's ''not'' explicitly a small child. Making this weirder, he's also an [[Expy]] for an especially grotesque [[Gonk]].

* Alfred, the adorable younger brother to Maya and a member of the rival gang of Drifters in ''[[Wild Arms 3]]''. He's clearly more mature and level-headed than his impulsive, treasure-seeking sister.

* Hope of ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' becomes this with character development. Although played for cute all along, he's a [[Bratty Half-Pint]] at game open, but he's become very mature for his age by the time the game ends.

* Riku from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' was extremely perceptive and insightful at five years old, able to immediately spot an off-worlder and give Sora outstanding advice about a complicated issue.
