* Izaku, the prepubescent mass-murderer from ''EternalSabbath''.

Dropping Haku natter; he didn't fit. Dropping Zabuza because... well, can you even imagine him as a cherubic child, per the trope description? Seriously, Zabuza!?


* ''{{Naruto}}'' had a village that used to test their ninja in training by keeping them with the same person for years, until they loved them more than their own family, and then only being allowed to become a ninja by killing their own partner. They stopped this when, as recounted in a flashback, the six-year old Zabuza killed every one of that year's applicants with a single knife. One of his nicknames comes from being completely coated with others' blood when they first found him.
** Gaara and Haku also counted.
*** I don't really think so... Haku was never all that murderous in the first place... he'd kill you if it meant defending Zabuza, the person "most precious" to him, but in most cases he'd rather try to befriend you than murder you. Zabuza even notes that Haku disliked fighting and violence. Definitely not a vicious killer there.
