{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Jail Scagletti]] has The Numbers, who are also a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]. They also have...[[Fetus Terrible|Other surprises.]]
* ''[[Code Geass]]''--
** Lelouch's female bodyguard, Kallen Kouzuki.
** In a related example, Knight of the Round [[Blood Knight|Luciano Bradley]] is supported by the Grausam Valkyrie Team, an [[Amazon Brigade]] complete with pink mecha.
* Lust and Sloth from [[Fullmetal Alchemist]] act as two of Dante's bodyguards for the most part.
* The [[Agent Aika|Delmogeny a.k.a. Delmo Corps]]; the less said about what the [[Big Bad]] [[The Paid for Harem|wants to do with them after his grand plan is achieved]], the better.
* In one episode of ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'', a [[Monster of the Week|bad guy of the week]] is tipped off that the police are trying to track him down. While a shootout proceeds outside in the hallway, Motoko Kusanagi jumps in through the window. One mook notices her and tells two female android bodyguards to fight her off. The beautifully animated fight scene that followed counts as one of Motoko's numerous [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Crowning Moments of Awesome.]]
** In another episode the target of an assassination attempt lives in a mansion with [[Robot Girl]] guards/maids.
** Seen also in the original manga with Colonel Tonoda's [[Sex Bot]] suddenly sprouting guns to fend off an attack by a rogue gynoid.
Line 69:
* When Elayne reorganizes the Queen's Guard in ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'', per personal bodyguard becomes this.
** Also, the Maidens of the Spear become this to Rand, much to his chagrin.
* An equal opportunity example shows up in the [[Merry Gentry]] series. The royals of the faerie court are guarded by a cadre of the opposite sex, who [[EveryoneEverybody Has Lots of Sex|double as a harem]] until the royal person is married.
** While a single- (and opposite-) sex guard, and the harem emphasis, are recent phenomena of Unseelie-specific history, membership in any court's Royal Guard was always one way to become a lover and potential consort, so this was pandemic to the setting to a limited extent.
* In the Haven series by Simon R. Green the biggest crime boss in Haven (St Christophe) has a bodyguard of twelve female bodyguards, each a deadly warrior and completely naked bar their swordbelts as a very effective distraction technique.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* ''[[VR Troopers]]'' has Karl Ziktor flanked in his office by women.
** In ''[[Choujinki Metalder]]'', Gozo Kirihara (Karl Ziktor's counterpart in the source material) has his two secretaries, K and S.
