* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Lelouch seems to prefer red heads, as the women he is closest to outside his sister are orange haired Shirley, pink-haired Euphemia, and FieryRedHead Kallen, with C.C. falling into the TokenMinority due to having green hair. Ironically, [[spoiler:he becomes an OfficialCouple with C.C. in the movie continuity after being brought BackFromTheDead]].

** Going by his preference towards Komi and [[spoiler: Kawai]], Tadano has a thing for peerless beauties with sharp eyes.

*''Manga/{{Lady}}'': For most of the manga, [[TheBully Mary]] [[AlphaBitch Waverly]] had a crush on [[PrincelyYoungMan Arthur]] [[NiceGuy Brighton]]. [[spoiler: Arthur never reciprocated her feelings, was disgusted by her bullying of Lynn and married Sarah instead. Years later, Creator/YokoHanabusa released a sequel manga, where it's shown that Mary's eventual love interest is Percy Blakenly....who, like Arthur, is a blonde man with a gentle personality, that also comes from a noble family, and has an affinity for horse-riding.]]

* Played for laughs in ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD''. You would think that Issei is an AnythingThatMoves kind of guy being a LovableSexManiac and all. However, the girls discover to their horror that Yuuto's [[GenderBender female form]] is ''exactly'' his type. The gender-changing device is then summarily sealed. More generally Issei, who does generally find a wide range of body-types attractive, has a notably preference for older big-sister types like Rias or Akeno.

* ''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart'': Whenever the subject comes up, Anna Yamada will answer "someone funny". Whether he's trying to or not (And he usually isn't), she finds Kyōtarō hilarious. Starting with him "mixing up the gas and the brakes" when he threw his bike into a drainage (To stop a pushy senpai from pressuring her into giving him her contact info.)
** Furthermore, the male lead of a [[ShowWithinAShow romance manga Anna reads, "Kimi Iro Octave"]], is described by Kyōtarō as blunt, aloof, yet also surprisingly kind, cute and clumsy. Kyōtarō wonders if this is her ideal man [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription before concluding that this kind of person doesn't exist in real life. (Except it does and this all applies to him.)]]

* One {{Omake}} of ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'' included character profiles on the main cast, including their types. Some, such as [[ShrinkingViolet Mikoshiba]] liking "reserved, pure girls" or [[LovingBully Seo]] liking "fun guys", are pretty straightforward. Others, like Wakamatsu (the boyfriend of the aforementioned Seo, who is also his [[SenpaiKohai senpai]]) wanting a "younger girl with a cute personality", are included purely for irony. Probably the least surprising of them all is Sakura's type, which is just listed as [[SingleTargetSexuality "Nozaki"]].

* ''LightNovel/OreSuki'': Joro has a clear preference for busty girls with long, dark hair. This mostly applies to Pansy obviously, but when Sasanqua decides to change her previously dyed hair to her natural black, he's immediately enticed.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Early on, Touma casually mentions that his type is [[CoolBigSis reliable older girls]] (Sometimes referenced as Dorm Manager Onee-sans). This might be one reason he ignores the harem of girls competing for his attention; none of them really fit that type (Kanzaki comes closest, but is a bit too shy regarding romance to qualify).

Those who [[HasAType Have a Type]] in {{Anime}} and {{Manga}}.
----

* {{Word of God}} stated as an answer of a fan-question that Levi from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' likes people that are taller than him. A smart move since everyone Levi gets shipped with by fans are in fact taller than him.
* ''Manga/BlueFlag'':
** Ichinose describes Mita's perfect girl as dark haired, sporty, big boobs, slim, with a mature vibe and capable of speaking things clearly, which is the complete opposite of Kuze. [[spoiler:Itachi realizes that it's a lie, and that Mita is actually gay and in love with Ichinose]].
** Masumi's two love interests in the story, [[spoiler:Kuze and, later, her husband]], were both shy, awkward and light haired individuals.
* ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa'': Yayoi Aoba clearly has a thing for soccer prodigies, as shown by her relationships with Tsubasa Ohzora and later Jun Misugi. This may have to do with the fact that her older brother Hideto is a player himself, so she enjoys the sport.
* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Early on, Touma casually mentions that his type is [[CoolBigSis reliable older girls]] (Sometimes referenced as Dorm Manager Onee-sans). This might be one reason he ignores the harem of girls competing for his attention; none of them really fit that type (Kanzaki comes closest, but is a bit too shy regarding romance to qualify).
* ''Manga/ACruelGodReigns'': While he isn't exclusive, Greg Roland has an appreciation for dark hair. His wife, Sandra, (herself a blonde) suspects him of sleeping with his secretary, Debbie, a woman with black hair the same shade as Jeremy's. Jeremy also notes that Debbie has "black hair, like me" when reading Sandra's diary and privy to her jealous misgivings.
* According to Vegeta in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', it is common for Saiyan men to fall for [[AmazonChaser strong and feisty women]], a trait that he claims encompassed all Saiyan women. While Chi-Chi is very strong in her own right by human standards and even terrifies friends and family who are magnitudes stronger than her (including Goku), Bulma apparently won over Vegeta [[PluckyGirl through strength of personality alone]]. Half-Saiyan Gohan also showed attraction to Videl when he saw her ActionGirl status. Piccolo's mental response is "[[ThisExplainsSoMuch This explains......]] ''[[ThisExplainsSoMuch everything!]]'''"
* ''Anime/DragonBallSuperSuperHero'' reveals that Beerus does too, as exasperatedly admitted by Whis. It's not clear what it is about [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Cheelai]] that he likes, but he conducts himself much more properly while she's around.
* ''Manga/FoodWars'': Erina Nakiri describes her ideal man as "passionate about cooking and capable of making dishes that surpass her expectations", in short, someone who'd remind her of her idol Joichiro Saiba. Coincidentally, Joichiro's son Soma fits that description perfectly.
* In ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', it's noted that the Joui leader Katsura Kotaro has a preference for widowed women, which can also double as LikesOlderWomen.
* Played for laughs in ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD''. You would think that Issei is an AnythingThatMoves kind of guy being a LovableSexManiac and all. However, the girls discover to their horror that Yuuto's [[GenderBender female form]] is ''exactly'' his type. The gender changing device is then summarily sealed. More generally Issei, who does generally find a wide range of body-types attractive, has a notably preference for older big-sister types like Rias or Akeno.
** Played straight with Tomoe, a member of the student council/Sona Sitri's peerage, who's most attracted to younger boys.
* Queen Iono from ''Manga/IonoTheFanatics'' has a well-known preference for women with long, flowing black hair, just like her late mother.
* ''Manga/IThinkOurSonIsGay'': Hiroki accidentally blurts out what his type is when talking with his mother, though, being in the closet, he [[BadLiar tries to backpedal]] and say that it's what the girls in his class find attractive -- to wit: manly, rugged, muscular guys.
* ''Manga/JujutsuKaisen'': Before a fight, Aoi Todo asks his opponent what their type is, judging their worth as an opponent by their preferences, and he proudly declares that his type is tall women with big asses. When Itadori answers that his type is also tall women with big asses, Todo convinces himself through an extended FantasySequence that he and Itadori have been best friends since middle school.
* Kimihito from ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' is revealed in a bonus comic to have an affinity for legs, the joke being that none of the girls living with him at the time (a centaur, a harpy, and a lamia) ''have'' normal legs. It turns into a BrickJoke when a [[SpiderPeople spider girl]] is introduced. It turns out that [[ExactWords he never said anything]] about the legs having to be ''human''.
* ''LightNovel/OreSuki'': Joro has a clear preference for busty girls with long, dark hair. This mostly applies to Pansy obviously, but when Sasanqua decides to change her previously dyed hair to her natural black, he's immediately enticed.
* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'': Played for laughs. During a study session, Miku asks Fuutarou what type of girls he likes. Fuutarou, largely uninterested, says that he'll tell them if they finish their homework. He tells them that the top three qualities he likes in a girl are "[[GenkiGirl always cheerful]]", "[[SupremeChef good at cooking]]" and "[[BigBrotherWorship cares about her big brother]]". Nino angrily protests that he was describing his younger sister Raiha, while Miku is left depressed because she's [[ShrinkingViolet the complete opposite]] [[LethalChef in two of those three accounts]].
* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'':
** Katsuya shows a marked preference when it comes to [[ForbiddenFruit what women]] he likes: It’s for those who [[GreenEyedMonster get along with Akira better than with him.]]
** Early in the series, it looks like Akira likes older, teasing, busty women, what with how he acts with Shizuka, Elena, and Sara while being cold to Sheryl, his own age. But this turns out to be {{Averted}}. Carol on paper fits with the first three, but Akira distrusts her at first for being a FemmeFatale. It’s more a matter of who Akira trusts enough to be open with. When Sheryl directly asks him if he LikesOlderWomen after she earns that trust, he tells her it’s just a coincidence that he has multiple friends like that because ChildSoldiers like himself are uncommon.
* ''Manga/SailorMoon'': Venus, in her manga incarnations, has a definite preference for pale-haired warriors.
* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': At least in the anime, every girl/woman Cygnus Hyoga takes an interest in is [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blonde]] and [[InnocentBlueEyes blue-eyed]], like his late mother to whom he is very attached.
* In ''Manga/ToiletBoundHanakoKun'', Nene is easily attracted to handsome, prince-charming type guys.
