** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'': [[{{Ninja}} Kaze]], [[BattleButler Jakob]], and ''especially'' [[BadassBookworm Leo]] and [[ArcherArchetype Takumi]] all have soft, pretty features. Leo's son Forrest takes it to a [[DudeLooksLikeALady whole other level.]] Azura's son, Shigure, qualifies as well, and his finer features are exaggerated further in his Cipher cards. The default male 1 build for Corrin as well.

** Raiden in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'' was designed as an androgynous hero who Kojima created after hearing two teenage girls complaining that military games are full of old men. In the game there’s even a scene where another character [[spoiler:makes a grab for his groin, and is surprised to find he is male]]. And you have to [[FullFrontalAssault play as him naked]]. No, we are not making that up. He was widely reviled for this by the fans, among [[ReplacementScrappy other reasons]]. Eventually, Raiden's own game, ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EpJNlCOXcAA3tX7.jpg buffed him up]] to the extreme.
** Naturally, there's also Raiden's thinly-veiled parody in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'', Raikov.

* Pretty much any guy from the [=NeoRomance=] series (''VideoGame/{{Angelique}}'', ''VideoGame/HarukanaruTokiNoNakaDe'', ''VideoGame/LaCordaDOro''). Eisen of ''Haruka'' proved to be pretty enough to [[DisguisedInDrag disguise himself as a girl]] on one occasion; even ''the Emperor'' is bishōnen, though he has the excuse of being Eisen's half-brother. In the ''La Corda d'Oro'' anime, one character (Kenichi Shimizu) actually gets ''called'' a bishōnen by the lead girl when she first meets him.

A popular theory is that his character design is based on early designs of Fang from ''Final Fantasy XIII'' when she was a male character. Whether or not it's true, his pretty boy looks fit the trope to a tee.

* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' many of the other characters say Blood Elf males (particularly those without facial hair) are this, verging on DudeLooksLikeALady. However, this is part of the setting's FantasticRacism: their actual design is a lot more {{Hunk}}y than the in-game dialog would suggest. Night Elf and Nightbourne males deliberately invoke this trope, since the women are dominant in their societies: so looking feminine means looking powerful.
**Zandalari troll males tend towards this from a troll perspective. Unlike other trolls, among the Zandalari the males aren't much bigger than the females. Both sexes can be bald or otherwise have similar hairstyles, and facial hair is uncommon among trolls generally. Therefore, telling the sex of a Zandalari-especially in armor-can be difficult. Zandalari males do still have the longer tusks typical of male trolls, but this characteristic can be obscured by helmets.

** Ayami Kojima who did most of the later artwork for Castlevania ''really, really'' [[AuthorAppeal loves]] this trope to point where she’s responsible for '''[[ArtShift turning]] [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys every single male protagonist]]''' (and even {{Dracula}}) into a bishōnen.

At point in the third game Dante even admires himself in the reflection of his sword and both Nevan and [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]] call him a "handsome devil". The [[Anime/DevilMayCryTheAnimatedSeries anime]] plays this much [[http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/16600000/Dante-devil-may-cry-anime-16697830-853-480.jpg straighter]] with Dante compared to the games.
** Vergil Dante's EvilTwin is pretty bishie since he's identical to his brother ([[https://media.giphy.com/media/3o85xFOGOKRnSvbqz6/giphy.gif especially with his hair down]]), though other games such as ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' make this trope more pronounced. Other games and artwork downplay this like Dante making more masculine and dignified. Ironically, both Dante and Vergil subvert the BishounenLine as their respective [[SuperMode Devil Triggers]] make them '''[[PowerUpgradingDeformation far less]]''' pretty than their base forms.
** Nero plays this straighter than Dante and Vergil being [[http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/32300000/Nero-devil-may-cry-4-32351409-1440-900.jpg very androgynous]] and even more so in the [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6d/53/64/6d5364f527fd383c3dfc14c4fcc62766.png pachinko game]].

* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'', the main playable character, the Luminary, has long hair and noticeably finer features than previous heroes in the series, and is frequently noted to be handsome and even beautiful by various characters throughout the game. More than one female [=NPC=] comments on wanting looks like his.
* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' has its fair share, with Jin (Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Zhong Hui, Xiahou Ba, Jia Chong, Wen Yang) being a certified CastFullOfPrettyBoys. The other kingdoms don't fail to deliver however with Shu (Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei, Guan Suo, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao), Wu (Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Ling Tong), and especially Wei (Zhang He, Cao Pi, Guo Jia) hosting some impressive examples.
* Yuuto is the only male in ''VideoGame/EienNoAselia'' that could really be described as pretty. On the other hand, he's also pretty muscular by the end, so despite the face, he isn't exactly girly.

The [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake FFVII remake]] balances this trope, Cloud is quite pretty but he's still [[http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_jpg/NciapzU7fLibdvibW4P9K9pSbo4JN2GtO5CP95as5eP5CK2yYDsFRWG2EXlY9Ykuwp8sYuF6AEBx9yXoeoWrK1X6g/0?wx_fmt=jpeg more visibly masculine compared to female characters such as Tifa]]. Though he can still effectively disguise himself as a woman to fool Don Corneo.
*** Zack Fair bounces back and forth between [[https://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/zack-ehrgeiz-art.jpg handsome but masculine]], to being [[https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/3208664325/bf2ae21bf35b01e71de67dd6bfa00ead_400x400.jpeg ridiculously pretty]] (such as in ''Crisis Core'').
*** Also Vincent Valentine in ''Anime/AdventChildren'' and ''VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus'':.
** As for Kuja from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', he reaches truly DudeLooksLikeALady proportions. This is even {{Lampshaded}} by Queen Brahne, who outright calls him a "girly-man". To be fair, though, he calls her "elephant-lady".
** If you look past the [[HalfHumanHybrid non-human]] features, Seymour from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' can fit the bill as well.
** Hope Estheim from the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' also counts, especially in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2''.
** The page-top quote refers to Noel Kreiss, one of two playable characters (outside of [=DLC=]) in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2''. A popular theory is that his character design is based on early designs of Fang from ''Final Fantasy XIII'' when she was a male character. Whether or not it's true, his pretty boy looks fit the trope to a tee.
** And then there's Vayne Solidor of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', who even in full armor is still a very slender guy with more hair than two out of the three women in the main party.
** Regarding Noctis from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'', he is normally bishōnen, but [[spoiler:after the timeskip, he starts sporting a BadassBeard and looks far more rugged, but once he's clean-shaven it's shown he's still as pretty as ever.]]
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTypeZero'' has its fair share of bishies, but the special mention goes to Ace.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'':
** Lucius, the amazingly feminine featured pretty boy monk with long blond hair. Of course, he defends the fact that he is male when confronted by Serra.
** A typical ''Fire Emblem'' game will have several bishōnen, at least a couple of rugged manly men, a few [[SilverFox good looking grandpas]], and a {{Gonk}} or two. Few are as bafflingly pretty as Lucius, though.
** When ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' first showed off Marth, most western players were initially quite confused as to whether Marth was a girl or not (''hairband and girly name didn't help'') . His voice actor cleared this up a bit, though.
** Libra in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' takes this to such ridiculous levels he invokes StupidSexyFlanders and EvenTheGuysWantHim in-universe. Oh, and he has [[VocalDissonance a very feminine voice too.]]
** Less so than Libra, but the default, Type 01 build for a [[PlayerCharacter male Robin]] is fairly bishōnen, especially if you give him [[LongHairedPrettyBoy long hair]].
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'': [[{{Ninja}} Kaze]], [[BattleButler Jakob]], and ''especially'' [[BadassBookworm Leo]] and [[ArcherArchetype Takumi]] all have soft, pretty features. Leo's son Forrest takes it to a [[DudeLooksLikeALady whole other level.]] Azura's son, Shigure, qualifies as well, and his finer features are exaggerated further in his Cipher cards. The default male 1 build for Corrin as well.
** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia]]'' has several, some of which are due to [[AdaptationalAttractiveness the art having improved]] from the original. Tobin and Kliff both have soft, pretty faces in the remake, and are fairly slender to boot. Luthier and Leon are the [[LongHairedPrettyBoy long-haired]] variety; Leon is said to have [[TheDandy a strict routine]] to keep himself looking nice, and it's accentuated by the fact that [[CampGay he]] appears to be wearing [[GuyLiner eyeshadow]] and lip gloss.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' has four stand out examples. From least to most bishie there's Jeritza, who's frame is wide enough to offset his pretty face and long hair, Male Byleth, who's about on par with Marth in terms of prettiness, Linhardt, who has long hair and slender body to compliment his pretty face, and Yuri, who, similar to Leon above, appears to be wearing [[GuyLiner eyeliner]] and lip gloss, in addition to having long hair.
* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' has multiple examples, in part thanks to its LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters. Most notable perhaps are Joel and Summer Albert, both of whom also double as MrFanservice thanks to outfits which reveal a lot of skin (especially abs).
* Testament of ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', who, in addition to his long black hair and androgynous face, has [[CreepyCrossdresser an outfit consisting of a man-bra and a skirt that shows a decent amount of leg]]. And that's not going anywhere near [[DudeLooksLikeALady Bridget]].
** Ky looks more effeminate than his own son Sin.
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'':
** HospitalHottie Doctor from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonBackToNature'' is one of the earliest examples in the series. He has [[{{expies}} inspired many]] equally attractive doctor characters such as Alex from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonMagicalMelody'', his IdenticalGrandchild Trent from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS'', and Jin from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility''.
** Grumpy rival farmer Jamie from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonMagicalMelody'' is a bishōnen or a {{bifauxnen}} depending on what gender you play as. If you play as Amanda, he is a secret bachelor [[spoiler:but the game ends if you marry him]].
** Skye is the "special" bachelor from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS'' and is sometimes regarded as the turning point where the series began making more bishōnen characters. He is a GentlemanThief that is prone to BishieSparkles.
** Will from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonSunshineIslands'' bears more than a passing resemblance to the above-pictured Tamaki.
** ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility'' features an entire cast of marriageable bachelors. The prettiest is Julian, who [[DudeLooksLikeALady could pass for a woman]] and worries (in the Japanese version) if his love interest thinks he's a {{crossdresser}}.
** The series has gotten an increasing amount of bishōnen starting with ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness'' and ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility''. It's likely easier to name bachelors who are not bishōnen.
** Similarly, many of the young males in the spinoff series ''VideoGame/RuneFactory'' are bishōnen. The protagonist of ''VideoGame/RuneFactory4'' barely looks male, which, what with the HelloInsertNameHere nature of the game, can lead to some unintentionally hilarious moments:
-->''"Sophie? What a fine, manly name!"''
* ''VideoGame/HarvestTown'', a game is inspired by the above ''Harvest Moon'' features a number of attractive bachelors. The most obvious example is Lee Yau, the HospitalHottie whose initial character design looks more like a model than a doctor, and Duke Evans, a suave musician who looks like a typical "popular guy" from a shoujo manga (especially his newer character art). There's also Chris Ford, who isn't explicitly said to be handsome by the in-game bio, but is drawn in a similar enough style with the two aforementioned examples, that it's impossible for him not to qualify.
* Among the attractive male characters in ''VideoGame/InfiniteSpace'', a few of them fall into bishōnen/biseinen category. Lord Roth is arguably the best example, with his [[LongHairedPrettyBoy waist-length lavender hair]] and feminine face. Main character Yuri is quite pretty himself.
* [[spoiler:Mitsumoto]] and Abyss in ''[[VideoGame/IzunaLegendOfTheUnemployedNinja Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns]]''.
* Pit from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' and his dark counterpart likely qualify also.
* Because of its ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'' influences, ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' not only features bishōnen leads [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover from that series]], but its original characters effectively form a CastFullOfPrettyBoys.
* A surprisingly large number of ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''' main male characters are like this, with Ash Crimson pushing the androgyny to ridiculous levels.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Link, in his older incarnations starting with ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''. Comedy Central ''did'' base [[WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether Xandir]] on him, after all. One gay magazine [[http://www.gamespot.com/news/6151905.html voted him "hottest game character"]], to the endlessly amusing horror of the teenage males in the fanbase. His incarnation in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' also places him in {{Hunk}} territory at the same time by [[ShirtlessScene showing off his body]] and having him partake in various [[RatedMForManly manlier]] feats than usual. His ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' incarnation was updated into one in the artwork for the GBA version, in line with his modern incarnations.
** Kafei from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' is a young version of this.
** Shad from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''.
** Demon Lord Ghirahim from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword''.
** Link becomes even prettier in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', to the point where characters of both sexes feel attraction to and openly flirt with Link. Sure, it's been implied in previous entries to the series, but it has never been this blatant. This actually helps Link in one main quest where he has to [[spoiler: dress up like a Gerudo in order to get into the female-only town they reside in]].
* ''VideoGame/MagnaCarta: Tears of Blood'' kicks the bishōnen up to 11, making its main lead, Calintz, and his apprentice, Azel, almost entirely unrecognizable as male. Chris Arcway manages to dodge the bullet with his open button-up shirt and cocky womanizing attitude, but even Raul, the tall, masculine, goateed swordsman who appears a few times in the game, gets a touch of Bishie thanks to the artstyle (no matter how impossible it seems to be Bishie with a goatee).
* Prince Peasley from ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'' makes the whole screen gleam - literally - when he [[HairFlip tosses his hair]].
%%* It was an old joke in the fandom that those not familiar with the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series would think that Zero was actually a girl, thanks to his RapunzelHair and what [[FanNickname fans like to call]] the [[GagBoobs Booblights]]. This was even {{lampshaded}} by [[spoiler:Bass of the original series]], when, upon seeing Zero's blueprints, scoffs at Zero's appearance, thinking that he was "too girly" to be the strongest robot, [[spoiler:like [[BigBad Dr. Wily]], Zero's creator, claimed]]. And he seems to be quite a ChickMagnet, too; for both fellow Reploids and one ''human''. What was [[spoiler:Dr. Wily thinking when he created Zero and came up with ''that'' design, anyway? So much for being a threat to civilization...]]
** WordOfGod has it that Zero original concept WAS that of being a female robot. The booblights are probably remnants of this concept.
* The majority of Maverick bosses in the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series have aggressive looking eyes with thin oval-shaped irises. However, the dragonfly [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Reploid]] named Commander Yammark from ''VideoGame/MegaManX6'' is the ''only'' one with [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090225140935/megaman/images/4/47/Mmx6commanderyammark..jpg big, bright eyes]] [[http://images.wikia.com/megaman/images/0/04/CommanderYammarkMugshot.jpg with pronounced eyelashes]]. This is why people [[ViewerGenderConfusion thought he was female]].
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
** Raiden in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'' was designed as an androgynous hero who Kojima created after hearing two teenage girls complaining that military games are full of old men. In the game there’s even a scene where another character [[spoiler:makes a grab for his groin, and is surprised to find he is male]]. And you have to [[FullFrontalAssault play as him naked]]. No, we are not making that up. He was widely reviled for this by the fans, among [[ReplacementScrappy other reasons]]. Eventually, Raiden's own game, ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EpJNlCOXcAA3tX7.jpg buffed him up]] to the extreme.
** Naturally, there's also Raiden's thinly-veiled parody in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'', Raikov.
* The Japanese iPhone/Android game ''My Horse Prince'' is a Dating Sim about a young woman named Umako meeting the handsome Yuuma on a ranch. Seems like a normal enough game until you learn that Yuuma is [[BeastWithAHumanFace a horse with a human head]] and the game still plays with some DatingSim tropes despite its weird love interest.
* Pretty much any guy from the [=NeoRomance=] series (''VideoGame/{{Angelique}}'', ''VideoGame/HarukanaruTokiNoNakaDe'', ''VideoGame/LaCordaDOro''). Eisen of ''Haruka'' proved to be pretty enough to [[DisguisedInDrag disguise himself as a girl]] on one occasion; even ''the Emperor'' is bishōnen, though he has the excuse of being Eisen's half-brother. In the ''La Corda d'Oro'' anime, one character (Kenichi Shimizu) actually gets ''called'' a bishōnen by the lead girl when she first meets him.
* ''VideoGame/OdinSphere'': Prince Cornelius of Titania, the Shadow Knight Oswald, and Prince Ingway of Valentine. All three young men's physical features ([[spoiler:well, in Cornelius and Ingway's human forms, anyway]]) fit the archetypes of handsome princes and brave knights with slender yet muscular builds. In Ingway's case, his outfit even runs into MrFanservice territory.
* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' has Waka, who FLIES seemingly by virtue of sheer BishieSparkle and his [[NiceHat improbable headdress]].
* A lot of them show up in ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'', but most notable is the protagonist Abe no Seimei who is a LongHairedPrettyBoy and very much defies the WhiteHairBlackHeart trope, making it MysticalWhiteHair in his case.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' has [[OneLetterName N]], as well as [[PowerTrio Cilan, Chili, and Cress]]. [[TheRival Cheren]] and [[PlayerCharacter Hilbert]] qualify as well.
** Bishōnen characters in other games include Falkner, Bugsy, Morty, Will, Wallace, Steven, Roark, Volkner, Riley, Aaron, Lucian, and Marlon. Maxie may count as well, even though he's older than the others.
** The male player characters have been trending toward this. Calem, the male player character for X and Y, is probably the most blatant example - especially when compared to Red's original game design. Or for previous gens, [[AdaptationalAttractiveness compare the remake design of Red to his to original one]].
** As of ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', Red no longer qualifies, instead showing signs of maturing into a {{Hunk}}. On the other hand, his rival Blue is edging much more into this now, though granted he had been showing signs of this since ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver HeartGold/SoulSilver]]''
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
** Leon S. Kennedy makes the cut, but barely. Even at his prettiest, he was still quite solidly built and masculine, and his face becomes a little more chiseled and tough-looking in each new appearance. His haircut, though, remains top-shelf bishōnen.
** Steve Burnside from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'' plays this trope straighter than Leon, not being very masculine at all. But subverted as you won’t find many Steve fangirls since he’s considered TheScrappy of Code Veronica being incredibly annoying and whiny.
*** From the same game Albert Ashford is so androgynous he can disguise himself as his [[CreepyTwins twin sister]], Alexia. He's even accused of being a transvestite.
*** Even Chris Redfield (thanks to the art style) is turned into [[http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/798470-resident-evil-code-veronica-x-playstation-2-screenshot-claire.jpg a bishōnen]] in ''Code Veronica'' contrasting to other games where he’s depicted as a rugged {{Hunk}}.
** Interestingly William Birkin was originally conceived as [[http://projectumbrella.net/files/imagecache/preview/images/67436578.png one]] of these in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' but later games retcon him into being more scraggly looking, which is more in line with his MadScientist character.
** Young Marcus [[spoiler: aka the Queen Leech]] in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'' is a LongHairedPrettyBoy... [[spoiler: until he dissolves into a gross mass of leeches]].
* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
** From ''VideoGame/Persona2: Innocent Sin'', we have Jun, a character so pretty that many female characters look upon him in envy.
** ''VideoGame/Persona3'':
*** Akihiko Sanada from is a borderline example; he's a tall and lean ChickMagnet, but he's also a boxer with a noticeably masculine physique.
*** In a less obvious manner, the main character ([[FanNickname Minato]]/[[Anime/Persona3TheMovie Makoto]]/etc.) may also qualify, having a very slender figure, subtle facial features, and pretty eyes. He's also frequently described as a "pretty boy" or "handsome", to the point where a certain CorruptCorporateExecutive tries to exploit him.
** ''VideoGame/Persona4'':
*** [[spoiler:Teddie's human form]] makes extensive use of the BishieSparkle to [[HandsomeLech manipulate women that he comes across]]. Not to mention, during the crossdressing scene, he was the only one [[AttractiveBentGender able to pull off looking like a girl]]. One male commentator from the audience even exclaims "I'd hit that."
*** Boyishly handsome Naoto Shirogane is beloved by the ladies...[[spoiler:but in a rare subversion, [[{{Bifauxnen}} he is actually a she]].]]
** ''VideoGame/Persona5'':
*** Both Goro Akechi and Yusuke Kitagawa are ''definitely'' this, both being attractive young men with slender, elegant features. Goro's Thief outfit is even that of a prince's.
*** The protagonist from is definitely a bishōnen. Between his looks, outfit, voice, and attitude (bonus points for his evil panty-dropping smirk), he's definitely got a devoted female fanbase and more than a few fanboys. Joker's probably the prettiest Persona protagonist, and is by far the sexiest.
* ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'': we have Mitsuhide, Hanbei, Ranmaru, Kiyomasa, Motochika, and Kojiro.
* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'':
** Uesugi Kenshin takes this far enough that fans [[ViewerGenderConfusion seriously doubt he's really male]]. Granted, the games also have Motonari, Keiji, [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Mitsuhide, and Hanbe]], but Kenshin is still the reigning king/queen.
** Keiji is a strange case, as he has a muscular figure but a very pretty face and long, silky hair. And Yukimura also seems to become more feminine looking with each new installment.
* The main character of ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus''.
* Ramirez from ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' seems to rock the "pretty but misunderstood" vibe as hard as he possibly can. Enrique is pretty much his good counterpart. A number of recruitable crew members further the bishōnen appeal, particularly [[spoiler:Lawrence]] and [[spoiler:Ilchymis]].
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** Vega is a [[TheFightingNarcissist narcissist]] who believes his face to be extremely beautiful, and cannot stand the ugly. Part of it comes from traumatization as a child when his ugly father killed his beautiful mother. He also wears a mask, not to hide his identity, but to prevent his face from being scarred. EvilMakesYouUgly is often invoked for Vega, as several World Warriors point out in their win quotes.
** Remy in ''Street Fighter III'' is even more of one (though he's not narcissistic like Vega).
** In the Alpha series, Ken becomes one of these, with long, flowing hair in a ponytail and a younger face ([[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HIUPORRx8xI/TlTiSk9fbAI/AAAAAAAAAp8/zy_ZaeBX1h4/s1600/ken.jpg some pieces of art]] for the game even show him with pronounced lips, a rarity for ''Street Fighter'' characters). However, the other games show him looking older and more muscular, with PermaStubble.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series of games have, quite literally, ''dozens'' of bishōnen among the ranks of the Stars of Destiny ([[Mystical108 108 per game!]]). Notable ones include and are not limited to: every main protagonist, Flik, Luc and Sasarai, and Yuber.
* In the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games, characters of this nature (e.g. Pit, Shulk, Cloud) tend to have all-female crowd cheers.
* The ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' is ripe with these:
** Although having more of a fairly (and by that, we mean in the smallest margin, as the game models differ slightly from the official art) masculine face than some other ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' [=bishōnen=], Richard from ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' certainly fits the role, having traditional elements including medium-length blond hair, fancy frilly clothes, and immense popularity throughout the kingdom (in one skit, he mentions his "dilemma" with the sale of Richard-themed items). His seiyuu is even the same as a certain other [=bishōnen=] of ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'', and he even sports [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Zelos]] [[RealMenWearPink Wilder's]] costume as DLC. Doesn't help that his younger self can be seriously mistaken for [[DudeLooksLikeALady a girl]].
** Zelos from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''. Yggdrasil, too. Some fans would argue that Kratos is one as well. The game is ripe with bishies. Kratos is a good example of a ''biseinen'', or 'beautiful man' - what a bishōnen becomes when he grows up.
** Several of the guys in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'': particularly Yuri, who can be mistaken for a woman until he opens his mouth.
** Guy, Luke and Asch from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' If you count Jade as a verging-on DudeLooksLikeALady ''biseinen'' that's the whole main male cast.
* ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'': The newer protagonists.
* The ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' has its fair share of this, but special mention goes to Prince Olivert Reise Arnor, who is fully aware of it and plays it for all it's worth. He'll flirt with anyone he can and his other tropes include the BishieSparkle and SayItWithHearts. There's also Kurt Vander, whose pretty-boy look is regularly commented upon and early on in ''Cold Steel IV'' is mistaken for a girl by a little girl NPC.
* ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' has Young Cricket, who is popular among Japanese female players for being the only bishōnen in the series.
* Joshua from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'', complete with a girlish giggle to boot. [[spoiler: Being something [[AngelUnaware of a higher plane of existence]] probably helps.]]
