Line 20:
* In ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'', we have this in G, Giotto (Vongola Primo)'s glasses-wearing right hand man. In the anime, there is even a episode where G demonstrates this. Gokudera seems to have turned into this in the future.
* Rei Hino's father had one in the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' manga, a [[Megane]] young man named Kaidou. He's a [[Big Brother Mentor]] to Rei, though she harbors a crush on him for a while.
* Freeza from [[
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', [[Hikikomori|Isolationist!Japan]] has the [[Moe Anthropomorphism]] of the Osaka Prefecture handling his meetings with the only mantion he meets up with, Netherlands.
** In the ''[[Hetalia
*** And in the "Can't Escape from Italy" strips/episodes, England had another [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]] aidé, a spy named Howard. Fans speculate that, since "Mr. Workbitch" looks like him, he may be Howard's relative (possibly his grandson)
* [[media:kanon_maldini_8350.jpg|Kanon]] from ''[[Code Geass]]'', with emphasis on the [[Ho Yay]]. He claims to aid his boss Schneizel "in both public and private," and [[media:lolkanon_4239.jpg|this official artwork]] (possibly NSFW) suggests that the creators were quite aware of the innuendo. He's not particularly [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]], though--[[The Chessmaster|Schniezel]] can manage well enough on his own.
Line 33:
* ''[[Mad Men]]'': Lane Pryce's <s>secretary</s> ''[[Insistent Terminology|right hand]]'', John Hooker, is one of these even within the universe: as office manager at Sterling Cooper upon its takeover by Putnam, Powell, and Lowe, he replaces Joan...and is thus in charge of the secretarial pool. The secretaries (besides Joan, who hates him for personal reasons and disdains him for professional ones) all swoon over his good looks and sexy British accent.
* In ''[[Friends]]'', Rachel hires a totally unqualified guy for her assistant solely on the basis that he was cute.
* On ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', the Haitian was right-hand hottie to Noah Bennet. Played by former Hugo Boss model Jimmy Jean-Louis, no less.
* ''[[
** In the first episode, Jack introduces him as the guy a) who handles clean-up, b) gets the team from place to place, and c) "looks good in a suit." So yeah, John wasn't too far off.
* On ''[[Doctor Who]]'', Harriet Jones (Prime Minister) and Torchwood One leader Yvonne Hartman both had attractive right-hand men.
* Billy Keikeya, Gaius Baltar and (to an extant in Seasons 1-3 and fully in Season 4) Lee "Apollo" Adama fill this role for Education Secretary/President Laura Roslin on the re-imagined ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]''.
* Maya on ''[[Just Shoot Me]]'' did this as an experiment for an article, pitting a handsome doof against someone who was qualified but plain-looking. Guess who won.
* ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'''s [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] Sir Leon is Arthur's second-in-command. Having appeared throughout season 2 simply as a random knight, he was upgraded in season 3 to this trope.

** Also Mr Smithers, assistant to Mr Burns, as far as some of the viewers are concerned.
* Kronk to Yzma in ''[[The Emperor's New Groove
* ''[[Metalocalypse]]'''s Charles Foster Offdensen.
* [[Gargoyles|Owen Burnett]] is the right hand to David Xanatos (yes, [[Xanatos Planned This Index|that Xanatos]])
