Line 48:

: 僕
* Utena, Dios, Miki and Saionji in ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]].'' Also Akio when in Chairman mode (he normally uses ''ore'').
** This is a good example of the different connotations ''boku'' can have. Utena's ''boku'' indicates her assertive and tomboyish persona; Dios and Miki use ''boku'' for the connotations of childlike innocence; Saionji uses it rather than a more aggressive pronoun because he feels he's always playing second fiddle; and when Akio uses ''boku'', it's out of false humility.
Line 107:
* Gian of ''[[Summon Night|Summon Night 4]]'' reverts to his childhood usage of ''boku'' from his usual ''watashi'' as part of his [[Villainous Breakdown]].
* The [[Bokukko]] Natsuki Koshimizu from ''[[Detective Conan]]''. It's one of the reasons why the other [[Amateur Sleuth|Amateur Sleuths]] think she's a boy aside of her [[Boyish Short Hair]] and [[Bifauxnen]] looks, [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|until they see her]] [[Joshikousei|in a sailor uniform.]] {{spoiler|After being revealed as the [[Sympathetic Murderer]], she switches to ''watashi'', probably because [[Broken Bird|her innocence is gone forever]].}}
* ''[[My Hero Academia]]'':
** Izuku Midoriya exclusively uses this pronoun, which goes in hand with his kindly, humble personality.
** Out of the others in his class, Aoyama uses it, as does Iida when he gets emotional (he normally uses "ore").
** As for more reprehensible users, we have [[Smug Snake|Neito Monoma]] and {{Spoiler[[Big Bad|All For One]]}}.
