* Adam from ''Manga/ThePromisedNeverland'', while abnormally muscular and able to hulk out on the demons when he or is friends are threatened, is generally very kind. Many panels show him interacting very gently with the runaway children, like lifting them up to reach a tall shelf or carrying them on his massive shoulders.

* At age 19, Jonathan Joestar of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood'' is 195 centimeters (just under 6 feet 4 inches) and has the physique of a bodybuilder, but is a very kind-hearted gentleman and is willing to forgive almost anyone, the sole exception being Tarkus (who was extremely sadistic and only cared about killing). [[spoiler:He even dies clutching Dio Brando's disembodied head and acknowledging him as a brother, despite the latter having made his life Hell since the two met. It's even reciprocated -- when Jonathan dies, Dio looks absolutely ''heartbroken''.]]

* The Great Gozu from ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool: Future Arc'', is the extremely large and powerful "former ultimate wrestler" who works as a bodyguard for the chairman of the Future Federation and wears a weird bull mask but, following in the franchise's tradition, he is actually the [[TokenGoodTeammate most kind-hearted and moral of the group.]] He is vehemently opposed to his comrade's decision to kill their members one-by-one to end the Monokuma Hunter killing game and tries to talk reason into them. He is also seen in the background [[spoiler:covering Chisa's dead body with his jacket and praying after Bandai's death.]] The only time that he actually fights anyone is to protect Makoto and Aoi from being killed by the distrustful members of the Federation, and he chooses to side with them over his own friends and promises to help them survive the game. Unlike the other examples of this trope in the franchise, Gozu never kills or hurts anyone. The worst thing he does is [[SirSwearsALot cuss a blue streak]] due to his anger at his comrade's bloodlust. Not that being one of the few purely good characters helps him any [[spoiler:as he is the third person to be killed at the end of episode 2, unlike the above two examples, who lasted until a bit later on in their respective series]].

** Mori is tall and stoic, although no one really finds him scary (Mostly because his adorable cousin Hunny is constantly around him). In any case, Mori loves animals and takes care of a little chick and later an orphaned tanuki in the manga.

** Mori is tall and stoic, although no one really finds him scary (Mostly because intimidating in terms of appearance, but he's actually quite gentle; this is lampshaded by Tamaki, who points out that his adorable cousin Hunny Hunny, whom he spends a lot of time with, is constantly around him). In any case, a clear visual indicator that he's nicer than he looks. Mori also loves animals and takes care of a little chick and later an orphaned tanuki in the manga.manga, and among the Host Club's patrons, his fans tend to be [[ShrinkingViolet shy girls]] who find his quiet, steady stoicism reassuring.

* Senri, a bear-man (well, he can turn his arm into a bear arm, at least), from the manga ''Manga/PlusAnima''. He's extremely large and powerful, but his personality is probably best summed up by his character data. "Likes: small flowers." No, really. He likes to press them and use them as bookmarks in his diary. He's also TheQuietOne.
