* [[Studio Ghibli]] productions:

** The thirteen year old Kiki on her coming of age journey in ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]''. Tombo also fits.

** The thirteen year old Kiki on her coming of age journey in ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]''. Tombo also fits this range.

** The thirteen year old Arrietty in ''[[The Borrower Arrietty]]'', turning fourteen at the end of the film.

** In ''[[When Marnie Was There (film)|When Marnie Was There]]'', the twelve year old Anna is the hero.

** Shizuku Tsukishima in ''[[Whisper of the Heart]]'', attending junior high school. She is around the age of fourteen.

** ''[[How Do You Live? (anime)|How Do You Live?]]'' is planned to have fifteen year old Copper as the hero.

** In ''[[Spirited Away]]'', the protagonist Chihiro Ogino is around ten years old, being a couple years behind the range. On the other hand, the male lead Haku fits this age, appearing around twelve in age and being capable of using advanced magic.

* The Eva pilots in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' are all fourteen. [[Justified]] in that only children born after the Second Impact can pilot the [[Humongous Mecha|Evangelions]]. Also [[Subverted]] in the sense that ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' is by no means a kids' show nor does it try to appeal to young children.

* In ''[[Violet Evergarden (anime)|Violet Evergarden]]'', Violet estimates that her age is around fourteen, although the series makes no effort to appeal to younger audiences. Violet's age allows the series to get dark quickly in episode nine.
