{{quote|''"I get tired just watching him."''|'''Suezo''', on [[Meaningful Name|Genki]] from ''[[Monster Rancher (
Best described as the human equivalent of a parakeet: small, cute, colorful, hyperactive and [[Cute but Cacophonic|regularly loud]]. A hyperactive kid who is also somewhat [[In Touch
Pops up here and there, especially in [[Shojo]] and shows with [[Boys Love Genre]] overtones; if he is the star, he is usually paired off in some form with his [[Seme|polar opposite]]. This character is born out of an enduring and surprisingly [[One Head Taller|strict design plan]] for characters in [[Boys Love Genre]] manga commonly called the ''[[Uke]]''. A more manly version is the [[Boisterous Bruiser]], who is often a seme in [[Boys Love Genre]].
Line 22:
* Yuri in ''[[Kyou Kara Maou]]''. [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Most of the time]].
* Shuichi in ''[[Gravitation]]'' (see above picture). [[media:ryuichiglomp.jpg|Ryuichi]], however, is unarguably the show's biggest Keet. There's [[Genius Ditz|another side]] to him, however....
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Yugi]], particularly after finding friends.
** [[The Hero|Judai]] of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]] started out as this.
** For [[Yu-Gi-Oh!
* A good 25% of the cast of ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', but especially Hunny.
* Nagisa Shiroi in ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]''.
* Tetsunosuke in ''[[Peacemaker Kurogane]]''.
* The aptly-named Genki in ''[[Monster Rancher (
* Takeru Takaishi from ''[[Digimon Adventure]]''.
** [[Digimon Adventure 02
** Tagiru Akashi of ''[[
* Son Goten of ''[[Dragonball Z]]''.
* Hanagata from ''[[
* Mizumachi Kengo from [[Eyeshield 21]] is 203 cm of sheer moxie.
* Momiji Sohma from ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' is the embodiment of this trope and seems to be in love with Tohru. He grows up at the end and stops being as much of a Keet, though he's still rather genki.
* Eiji Kikumaru from ''[[Prince of Tennis]]'', though he evolves more into a [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] as his character [[Character Development|develops]] through the series. Arguably, people like [[Genius Ditz|Jiroh Akutagawa]] and [[Bob Haircut|Gakuto Mukahi]] from Hyoutei Gakuen and [[Dark-Skinned Redhead|Kintarou Tooyama from Shitenhouji]] fit more into the archetype.
* [[Gash Bell]] himself.
* Son Goku (no not that [[
** Son Goku from ''[[Saiyuki]]'' is often described as this, especially by fans who have only watched the anime. In the manga, he slowly grows out of it.
* Chico from the second ''[[Boku
* Asato Tsuzuki from ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]'' waffles back and forth between being this and [[The Woobie]].
* Feliciano/North Italy from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' mixes this with [[The Ditz]].
Line 54:
** Negi also qualifies when he's able to get away from his [[Training From Hell]] and responsibilities as a teacher. When he acquires a time machine during the festival arc and realizes he has enough time to do everything, he goes right into adorable-kid mode.
*** His first impulse was to use the time machine to go back and see the dinosaurs.
* Kimihiro Watanuki in ''[[
** He grows out of it due to [[Character Development]] though.
* Jin from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' This is not helped by the fact that he has the same [[Kappei Yamaguchi|Japanese voice actor as Ryuichi Sakuma]].
** The concept itself is horribly, ''horribly'' deconstructed by {{spoiler|Kiyoshi Mitarai}}, though.
* Yogi from ''[[Karneval]]'' can be overdramatic and flamboyant one moment, then more serious than his "rival" First Ship's female fighter the next. He's not small and cute, though; just loud and cheery. It annoys the heck outta [[Ineffectual Loner]] Gareki when his sunshiny personality is directed at him.
* Cooro from ''[[
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy|Akito]] from ''[[
* Micchi of ''[[Kamichama Karin]]'' takes this to whole new levels. His interaction with the rest of the main cast comes dangerously close to flirting (both with Karin and Kazune). This is even though he's a year older and [[One Head Taller]] than either of them.
* Mizushiro Hizumi from [[Spiral]] is "the Devil"... a very, very cheerful and cute one. When he isn't being murderous and/or unbearably angsty, that is - he'll switch between all three moods in a matter of seconds.
* Jun/Barry from the ''[[Pokémon (
** Ash Ketchum himself too, though not as extreme as Barry.
** Hareta from ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]]'' and Gold from ''[[Pokémon Golden Boys]]''.
* Otani from ''[[Lovely Complex]]'' is this quite often... awww.
* Haiji from ''[[
* Takuto from ''[[Star Driver]]''. However, [[Bishounen|his gender is]] [[Camp Straight|definitely in question]].
* Lavi from ''[[D
* [[Trigun|Vash the Stampede]] falls into this mode as a part of his [[Obfuscating Stupidity]], but he also seems to take some comfort in the act, especially while enjoying his donuts, which is a sure trigger for it.
* Kanda Yuusuke from ''[[Devil and Her Love Song]]'' tends to act pretty genki at times. He's not small or hyper-active, but seems to be the cheeriest out of the bunch. He holds a bright personality & tends to be overly friendly, which annoys his best friend Meguro sometimes.
Line 75:
* [[Nabari no Ou|Gau]], who is hyperactive, [[Hot-Blooded|passionate]] and regularly loud. Yukimi's nickname for him is "Tenpa-kun", which is derived from the slang term "tenparu" (lit. "about to blow a fuse").
* Amasawa of ''[[The Weatherman Is My Lover]]''.
* Isaac Dian from ''[[
** [[Evil Is Funny|Ladd Russo]], [[Large Ham|Graham Spector]], and {{spoiler|[[Crazy Awesome|Claire Stanfield]]}} appear to be evil versions of this trope.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Kuranosuke]] of ''[[Kuragehime]]'', while not as small or shrill as your average [[Keet]], still fits the bill.
* Toru Nanamine of ''[[
* JJ Adams in ''[[
* Nava of ''[[
* Mira from ''[[Papa to Kiss
* Finnian in ''[[
* ''[[Uta no
* Haru from from ''[[Tsuritama]]''. Cute, eccentric, and least a third of his dialogue is yelled.
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (
== Comics ==
* [[The Flash|Bart Allen]], or at least when he was Impulse and not Kid Flash. He's now regained all of his hyperactivity as Kid Flash after coming [[Back From the Dead]] in the ''[[Legion of Super
Line 128:
* [[Electric Six]] [[One-Man Band]] Dick Valentine is... interesting. Even more so in his songs.
* Kai Hansen qualified on the first two [[Gamma Ray (Music)|Gamma Ray]] live videotapes (later released on DVD) where [[The Pete Best|Ralf Scheepers]] was singing, giving Kai free rein to bounce around like he's high on crystal meth, grin maniacally at the camera, and generally act goofy and silly. Unfortunately he's much more restrained these days.
* [[Panic!
* [[
== Video Games ==
* [[Motor Mouth|Fast talkin']], [[Batter Up|skull bashin']], [[Caffeine Bullet Time|cola swillin']] Scout, from [[
* Kieran and Tormod of [[Fire Emblem]] qualify.
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Charmy Bee]] fits perfectly into this trope, as he is often energetic, playful, and very scatterbrained. Of course, his constant buzzing can be annoying sometimes.
** Long before him, we have Miles "Tails" Prower.
* Mao from ''[[
* In ''[[
** [[Final Fantasy IX
*** And [[Final Fantasy V
* Zack Fair, the thoroughly [[Adorkable]] protagonist in the [[Final Fantasy VII]] prequel ''[[Crisis Core]]'', is enthusiastic, bouncy, and friendly to the point that people start sticking him with the nickname "puppy".
* Snow Villiers from ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]''.
Line 148:
** Arguably ''Louis'' from the original ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' is another, perpetually optimistic flavor of keet, always hopeful, trying to keep the team's spirits up and looking at the bright side of things in the middle of a [[Zombie Apocalypse]].
* More so then his anime counterpart, Barry/Pearl/Damion from ''[[Pokémon]]'' Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
* Claus from ''[[
* The titular character from [[Billy Hatcher and
* [[Yes-Man]] of ''[[Fallout: New Vegas|New Vegas]]''.
* Cadet Ellis (No relation to [[Left 4 Dead|the above]]) from [[Vindictus]]. {{spoiler|Makes it all the more of a [[Player Punch]] when he eagerly runs off to prove himself and gets brutally killed by a giant goblin.}}
* Parry Gotha in ''[[
* [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]] definitely fits as one of these, with his cheerful YAHOOs and WAHAHAHAs.
* Surprisingly, [[Kid Icarus|Pit]].
* ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'', [[The Hero|Endou Mamoru]] is probably the happiest of the major heroes in the Raimon Academy and Inazuma Japan National. His happy trait and [[Heroic Spirit]] are what drive the team to victory. Moreover, he almost never angst after the first game.
* In most of his incarnations, [[The Legend of Zelda|Legend of Zelda's]] main protagonist, Link, is a rather serious young person. By contrast, [[The Legend of Zelda:
* Griff Simmons from the SSX Series fits well into this.
* ''[[
Line 166:
* Kazuki from ''Kenshiro no Tabi'', who upon imbibing triple-sweetened strawberry-milk released enough energy to create a nuclear explosion.
* Selby the spaniel from [[Woods for The Trees]].
* The eponymous character of [[Hanna Is Not a
* [[Love You and Everybody|Taisei]] from ''[[
** Jan also qualifies.
* Cat from ''[[Cat and Girl]]'' is a major one.
Line 174:
== Web Original ==
* Zack from ''[[
* Keiji Tanaka of ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'', whilst not exactly small, fits the rest of the criteria for Keetness to an absolute "T".
** Chris Davidson and Albert Lions of v4 are this as well.
* ''[[Kate Modern]]'''s Lee is yet another Western example, particularly in season 2.
* Timmy from ''[[Gaia Online]]''. ''Yeep!''
* [[That Guy With
** As convention-goers can attest to, [[Doug Walker]] is a smiley, bouncy, hyper flirt who likes his [[The Glomp|glomps]]. His [[The Nostalgia Critic
** Any and all of the [[Bum Reviews
** Our favorite "sexy French space lumberjack", [[That Guy With
** [[Bad Movie Beatdown
*** Especially his crossover with Sad Panda, Masoko X, Welshy and Mike J. He starts laughing hysterically and can't stop ''for over five minutes''. In the end they have him cover his eyes and pretend he's crying so they can keep filming.
** [[Atop the Fourth Wall
** Every [[The Angry Joe Show
* [[Oxhorn Short Shorts|The Mighty Morphin' Midget Gnomes]].
* 1-Up in the 20X6 universe of [[Homestar Runner]]. This also applies a little bit to present-day counterpart Homestar Runner himself, although he is more of a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] and most any behavior he exhibits that falls under this trope is as a result of it.
Line 194:
* Arella in [[MSF High Forum]] has been [[T Ged]]. Her personality has not changed.
* [[Awesome Series|Egoraptor]].
* Bubble Berry in the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
== Western Animation ==
* Braeburn of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* Mr. Tickle from ''[[The Mr. Men Show]]'', also Mr Bump.
* Pym from [[Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow]].

* Henry and Sniz from ''[[Ka Blam!
* T.J. Detweiler from ''[[Recess]]''
** Gus when he was in kindergarten
* Skeeter Valentine from ''[[Doug]]''
** Doug himself had some shades of this when he was a little kid. In the show itself he's more of an [[Adorkable]] [[Cute Shotaro Boy]].

* [[Darren Criss]], tiny, loud, hyper. Wears pink sunglasses a lot.

** And, [[A Very Potter Musical|in a]] [[Harry Potter|similar vein]], we have [[Daniel Radcliffe]].
* [[
* Love him or hate him, [[
* Back when he was on [[Freaks and Geeks]], John Francis Daley definitely qualified as this. In the behind-the-scenes videos, he attempts to scare the cast by hiding in the set and launching himself at them, runs around a parking lot flailing his arms in between takes, and proclaims to the camera "Watch how quickly I can eat!" before downing a bowl of noodles in ten seconds.
* [[John Barrowman]], being six feet tall, doesn't qualify for "small" but makes up for it by checking off "cute," "colorful," "hyperactive,", and "regularly loud" in an as over-the-top fashion as he can possibly manage.
* [[Myth Busters
* Richard Simmons.
