Man Child: Difference between revisions

* Milla Ackerman from ''[[Godannar]]'' before regaining her full memories.

* Galactic ''otaku'' [[Keroro Gunsou]] is this - followed Pekopon anime as a child, then subjected to [[Training From Hell]] until he was assigned to Pekopon to lead the invasion... making it far easier to follow his old hobbies as a result. Just picking up where he left off in life.

* [[Played for Drama]] in ''[[Kodomo no Jikan]]''. Reiji is able to support Rin and himself financially as an office worker but he is ''incredibly'' messed up due to his abusive childhood and the death of his lover/cousin Aki, Rin's mother. He has severe dependency issues as a result and [[Obliviously Evil|sees nothing wrong]] with [[Wife Husbandry|trying to raise Rin to take Aki's place]]. [[media:Kodomo_no_Jikan_Ch_59_-_05_8438.jpg|He even mentally regresses to a child when he thinks Rin might abandon him.]]

* Usagi from ''[[Junjou Romantica]]'' appears to be this. He's actually trying to simulate a child's environment because he wanted to "recreate what normal kids do in their childhood".

* Vince in [[The Mighty Boosh]] is constantly eating sweets, writes in crayon and has an imaginary friend made out of bubble-gum called Charlie.

** His actor [[Noel Fielding]] is of course very similar - in interviews and panel shows he will sit smiling sweetly, making silly jokes about rainbows, pigeons and pencil cases and acting like a total [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. This often leads to people making fun of him, and learning the hard way that he's also [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|a professional comedian with a truly acid wit]].

'''Carly''': "[[Hypocritical Humor|You forgot to wear pants again.]]" }}

* [[Peter III Of Russia]] was said to be this by his enemies. Instead of consummating his marriage immediately with his German wife he would play with toy soldiers in the wedding bed, and once hanged a mouse for treason. He also had a very child-like fascination with his hero, Frederick the Great, which ruined Russia's successes in the Seven Years' War. Unfortunately for Peter, his wife turned out to be [[Catherine the Great]], and he was deposed by her and her lovers in a very smooth coup.

* Guitarist [[Buckethead]] could be considered one. His stage persona is very child-like in behaviour (or maybe the man himself is). He also seems to enjoy toys and scary puppets.

** Some sound bites:
