* ''[[Disgaea]]'':
** Taro of ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' is a fairly straight example, though a bit of a [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. He's sweet and more mature than one would expect and is absolutely adorable. He's not taken very seriously by anyone, though.
** There's also Emizel in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'', although extremely young (for a demon), he's attempting to fill the role of [[Grim Reaper]] for his father. People don't take him seriously at all, but that's more because he's terrible at his job than his age. He's also clearly being played for cute, thanks to his bow tie and shorts.
* Ken Amada from ''[[Persona 3]]'' seems like a typical one of these at first. He acts unusually mature and serious, and isn't taken all that seriously by the older party members. However, it's later revealed that {{spoiler|he joined SEES so he could exact revenge on his mother's killer}}.
Line 87:
* Brainiac 5 in the ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (TV series)|Legion of Super Heroes]]'' cartoon was made into this kind of (pre-)[[Teen Genius]] for the first season, in contrast to his snarky [[Insufferable Genius]] characterization in recent comics.
* Tricks from ''[[Scruff]]'' is a [[Talking Animal]] version of this trope, being a young Border Collie pup with an easygoing, smart, modest but playful personality.
* The titular character of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' OWNS this trope. Acts as if he's preocupied with responsiblity, once had a crush on an older girl (well, she was only two grades ahead), and one of the most adorable kids on the show.
* Flip Chan in ''[[The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan]]''. He acts responsible for Mimi, Nancy and Scooter when they're out on the case, and is quite a cute kid.
** Mimi and Scooter are no slouches in the cute department, either. Mimi usually pushes her authority on Scooter, who wants to launch head on into the episode's unsolved crime.
