* ''[[Wedding Peach]]'' has the color appearing in several places, from the weapons to [[Transformation Sequence]]s (and that's not even taking Momoko's [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|hair]] into account). |

* [[Played With]] throughout the ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' franchise: the title character herself, a rather feminine young woman, has pink as the default color of her magic... which she usually uses to deliver [[Defeat Means Friendship|a world of pain to her prospective friends and family]]. Then, we have Signum, a [[Lady of War]] who sports a [[Long Hair Is Feminine|luscious waist-long]] pink hair... and is widely regarded as the [[Even the Girls Want Her|manliest]] character in the series. Lastly, Caro Ru Lushe, whose hair ''and'' magic are pink... is a girly girl (and one of the most obviously heterosexual ones in this [[Les Yay]]-laden franchise, to boot), merrily playing this trope straight. |

* As a "girl power" series, ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' loves the color pink, and the main girl of each series will always have ''some'' pink in her outfit. Notably, the girl in pink isn't always a girly girl—while that was the case in [[Yes! Pretty Cure 5|more]] [[Fresh Pretty Cure|recent]] [[Heartcatch Pretty Cure|seasons]], the [[Futari wa Pretty Cure|earlier]] [[Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star|seasons]] and the [[Suite Pretty Cure|latest one]] have the tomboy wear pink instead. |

* In ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', the title character usually wears red, white, blue, and yellow in her fuku, however her "aura" color appears to be pink, as whenever she's using an attack, pink is usually her main color. Her bow is also pink in [[Sera Myu|the musicals]] and [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon|the live-action drama]]. Sailor Chibi Moon's fuku always has pink, not to mention that her hair is pink. |
