When someone mentions his or her “little brother”, you usually expect a smaller, weaker individual, most likely a child or teenager. The big'''Big littleLittle brotherBrother''' is the polar opposite of this. It’s someone who may be the youngest member of his family, but just so happens to be stronger, taller and overall more physically impressive than his older siblings. The revelation of this usually comes as a surprise to both the audience and the characters in a story. This trope is usually used for comical effect.

Line 18:
* Mitsukuni Haninozuka from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' is much shorter than his younger brother Yasuchika.
* Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold from ''[[One Piece]]'' are both taller than their eldest sister, Boa Hancock. And this is considering that Hancock herself [[Statuesque Stunner|is already more than 6 feet tall.]]
** Also {{spoiler|Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi}}, who even ''[http://images.wikia.com/onepiece/images/0/05/Royal_Family.png as a baby]''{{Dead link}}'' was much bigger than her brothers.
* Michio Kawata from ''[[Slam Dunk]]'' is ''way'' taller than his older brother Masashi. Also [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Michio is a [[Gentle Giant]] while Masashi is [[Hot-Blooded]].
* Exaggerated in ''[[Recorder and Randsell]]'': Atsushi Miyagawa is a fifth grader who looks 17. On top of this, his older sister is in high school and looks his age.
