* Nearly any modern portrayal of Mori Ranmaru falls heavily into this if you aren't already aware of the historical figure. Historical artwork of him is a bit better.
* RecentLate-20th-century and early-21st century artwork of Hindu gods or goddesses tends to portray them all as quite [[Bishonen]].
