Line 55:
** Natsuhiko Taki is a [[Ted Baxter|boastful]], [[Brainless Beauty|good-looking]] [[The Ditz|idiot]] who likes to brag "My success rate is 100%!" to the point that it's his [[Catch Phrase]]. All the same, he makes [[Genius Ditz|a damn good tight end.]]
** Wide receiver Monta's resemblance to a monkey is not helped by his bad temper, his obsession with bananas, and his tendency to take his shoes off and grab things with his toes.
** Shin of the White Knights is one of the best linebackers in Japan because he [[Training Fromfrom Hell|trains almost nonstop, and in unorthodox ways]] (doing ''vertical push-ups'' with his ''thumbs'' at one point). He also has no grasp at all of how to use electronics, to the point that [[Walking Techbane|if it's electronic and he touches it, it's broken]].
** Otawara, also of the White Knights, is extremely slow-witted and crude; Running gags involve him farting and his pants falling down. Oh, and, while he isn't the most powerful lineman around, he's close, and he's [[Lightning Bruiser|incredibly fast for someone his size]].
** Jo Tetsuma of the Seibu Wild Gunmen [[Silent Bob|almost never speaks]] unless Kid tells him to, and [[Literal-Minded|follows orders to the very syllable,]] even to illogical extents. In addition, he is only shown in two situations to take actions under his own initiative. However, his single-minded obedience to commands makes him one of the best four wide receivers in all of Kanto.

** Killer Bee tops all the others, though. He fights using seven swords, none of which he holds in his hands, because he prefers to keep them free so that he can write rap lyrics in the middle of combat.

* Misato Katsuragi of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. One would think that blatant alcoholism and a driving quest for revenge against the Angels would preclude a person being assigned to a post as important as Director of Tactical Operations. She even gets called out on the latter when it seems she will take unnecessary risks to avenge her father's death. Then again, this is ''Evangelion''. She's practically a bastion of sanity and rational thinking compared to much of the rest of the cast.
Line 134:
** He also does circus acts for no reason, has a case of [[Crazy Consumption]], and is known to act [[Cloudcuckoolander|CloudCuckooLanderish]] on occasion.
 
* In ''[[Penguin Revolution]]'', the president of Peacock has a somewhat idiosyncratic method of running the talent agency; among other things, Ryo Katsuragi is required to attend school disguised as a girl as part of his contract and will be fired of the secret is exposed. He also has the entire agency, agents included, undergo [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] as preparation to put on a play. He can run the agency the way he wants because he's the president, but his methods also get surprisingly good results.
** Not surprisingly, a number of the talents employed by Peacock are also rather quirky. The most notable examples are Ayaori Mashiba, a phenomenally talented actor who when not performing is so laid-back as to be nearly comatose, and Yuzuru Narazaki, another highly talented actor who emulates a samurai lifestyle and not only puts himself through voluntary [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] but expects his manager to accompany him.
 
* Eiji Kikumaru from ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]'' is child-like, happy, has a flashy playing style and is somewhat of a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] as well... but he also has the sharpest vision in the whole team (only matched by Ryoma), is extremely flexible and capable of very high jumps, works as hard as the others to keep himself atop of his team, and is fiercely loyal to his doubles partner Oishi {{spoiler|1=to the point that one of the OVAs and a whole match in the manga are fully dedicated to Eiji's struggle to show Oishi that he's not a burden to him *and* that he wants him back in the team}}
