* Oddly enough, Seto Kaiba from ''Anime/YuGiOh''. Especially orphans, which makes sense, seeing as ''he'' was one. It's a package deal with his HiddenHeartOfGold. Lay a finger on his little brother, Mokuba, or any child in front of him, and you're pressing his BerserkButton because he'll really give you hell for it.

Galatea from ''{{Manga/Claymore}}'' is another orphanage operator. After abandoning the organization and blinding herself to make sure that they wouldn't pick up her yoki and find her, she hid in the holy city of Rabona and became a nun in the church. There, she started to take care of the orphans that were under the church's care. After a massive confrontation that revealed her identity as a claymore, who is forbidden from entering the holy city, the priests implored Galatea to stay, since the children loved her so much.  

''Anime/{{Daimos}}'': Kazuya Ryuzaki is good with kids and has many young fanboys who idealize him for being a SuperRobot pilot. Harming them activates his BerserkButton, as shown in an early episode when the Baam army kills one right in front of them.

* ''Anime/{{Daltanious}}'': Dr. Earl started off as a [[RacistGrandpa belligerent scientist]] who viewed humans as inferior to Heliosians like himself, but after being forced to put up with the hijinks of Kento Tate's wacky RagtagBunchOfMisfits, he realizes that deep, down, he loves them, even if every other day he finds himself screaming at them for screwing around in the Adalus Base. One episode has Sanae introduce him to the nieghbourhood children, who have heard of his exploits from Kento, and all of them thank him and tell him they're inspired by him. One boy even presents him with a wooden doll he made of Daltanious, as a memento.

* ''Manga/GakuenBabysitters'' has Ryuuichi, who is stated through the manga to be the "[[CoolBigBro ideal onii-chan]]". His talent with children is better shown in a chapter where a crying baby stops crying just because he is being held by him. All children at the daycare also look up to him and consider him their big brother.
* The titular character of ''Anime/GameraRebirth'' is the TropeNamer, and it shows in this series. He goes out of his way multiple times to lead or force any evil monsters away from the children under his protection, even at the cost of taking injuries. This even gets to the point where he catches a crashing shuttle they're in and takes the brunt of the impact for them despite the fact that he's badly injured, putting him in a near death state.

* ''Anime/KazeNoShojoEmily'': Mr. Carpenter always encourages his students to learn and makes his classes fun. He also encourages Emily to follow her dreams of being a novelist.

%%* ''Manga/InuYasha'': [[TheUndead Dead]] or alive, this is one of Kikyo's most defining traits.

* The Countess of Wellington from ''Anime/HelloSandybell'' befriends Sandybell by giving her a white lily, and lets children tend to her flower garden.
* [[AFatherToHisMen Alexander Anderson]], from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', operates an orphanage where he raised some of Iscariot's members, including Enrico Maxwell, Heinkel Wolfe, and Yumie Takagi. In fact, when we first see him in the OVA, he is breaking up a fight between two children, telling them that "Violence is never the right answer, except when used against heathens and monsters."

* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'': Maria Akeboshi [[InvokedTrope portrays herself]] as [[CoolTeacher a friendly teacher the students can rely on]], encouraging them to come to her office for help no matter what they need. While her act is mostly genuine, [[BigBad Okaya]] and [[GangOfBullies his gang]] are the sole exception, being the ones who [[OutlivingOnesOffspring sent Maria's son Kiritaka to his untimely death]] two years before she became the SchoolNurse. Acting like a friendly teacher earns Maria [[ASaintNamedMaria the reputation of a saint]] among the students, which [[ExploitedTrope leaves her beneath suspicion]] when a bully or two go missing.
