* Kurz Weber from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' is a former fashion model, [[Lovable Sex Maniac]], and generally a sociable and talkative guy who, when temporarily assigned to cover bodyguarding Kaname in Sousuke's place, introduced himself directly to her and her friend, playing [[Funny Foreigner]] and getting the girls to take him out for karaoke. True to the trope, he's also an expert sniper who once managed to take out a [[Humongous Mecha]]'s machine gun by firing into its barrel... from the bed of a speeding pickup truck. The [[Light Novels]] eventually reveal that Kurz made a conscious choice to avoid becoming a [[Cold Sniper]] following his training with one of them.

* Quite a few [[Fanon]] portrayals of [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Finland]] peg him as one of these. Considering he's a mix of [[Badass Adorable]] and [[Boisterous Bruiser]] as well as how [[Badass]] [[Cold Sniper]] [[wikipedia:Simo H%C3%A4yh%C3%A4|Simo Häyhä]] hailed from his land, it's not hard to put two and two together...

* ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''. The perpetually-cheerful and friendly cyborg girl Rico, though that's partially due to her conditioning which means that killing people doesn't affect her in the slightest.
* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' has Mikhail Blanc (and apparently his older sister Jessica was the same way).
** ''[[Another Century's Episode]] R'' somewhat [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] the concept: when Mikhail introduces himself as Skull Squadron's sniper, [[Full Metal Panic!|Kurz]] says "I guess that means we're going to be rivals, then" and Mikhail responds "I suppose it does", both of them with smiles on their faces the whole time.
* ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]'' has Susumu Kodai: very friendly, and snipes with the original [[Wave Motion Gun]].
