** Played straight with {{spoiler|Hanyuu, a.k.a Oyashiro-sama}}, who's even older, but is really quite shy and easily flustered.
*** She can be quite serious and mature though. The manga tends to make her overly mature, and the anime tends to make her too immature.
* Hinako Ninomiya of ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]'' is somewhere in her mid-to-late twenties; however, thanks to [[Old Master|Happosai]], her body ages incredibly slowly, so she currently looks like a ten year-old girl. She can only grow up to reflect her true age by absorbing the [[Battle Aura]] of highly-combative people around her, and even then, only temporarily. How she acts depends entirely on how she ''looks'' -- she could be watching [[Doraemon]], reading [[Shojo]] or gushing over the giant panda in the living room as a child one second, only to suck out Ranma's [[Battle Aura|ki]] and try to hook up with Akane's father as a grown, mature woman the next.
** Don't forget Happosai, whose general outlook on life can be summarized roughly as "five year old child with the hormones of a [[All Men Are Perverts|stereotypical boy]] just hitting puberty".
* In ''[[Mermaid Saga|Mermaid's Scar]]'', a subversion occurs when an immortal who has lived for 800 years as an 8 year-old boy only ''acts'' as a child to keep up appearances; his mind is anything but childish.
