* While not overly thug-ish, [[MafiaPrincess Miss]] [[PaleSkinnedBrunette Viola]] [[LethalChef Cadaverini]] from PhoenixWright looks ''creepy as Hell'', but discounting her relationship with [[{{Jerkass}} Furio Tigre]] she's not that bad.

* Hedoro from Gintama is an almost unfathomably nice guy who runs a flower shop, respects the elderly, and [[FriendToAllLivingThings literally won't hurt a fly]]. Unfortunately for him, he's an alien who looks like a {{Tokusatsu}} MonsterOfTheWeek combined with {{Satan}}.

** On the other hand, Sousuke ''is'' extremely violent by nature (WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer due to being [[RaisedByWolves Raised By Resistance Fighters]] and all that). He's just highly professional about it rather than being a thug.

* Alphonse Elric from FullmetalAlchemist is a 10-year old boy... whose soul inhabits a towering suit of [[SpikesOfVillainy spiky]], badass armor. Frequently mistaken as the Fullmetal Alchemist, only in SuperDeformed do his true colors shot. [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/super_deformed_4709.png Observe.]]

** His mom also looks like a StringyHairedGhostGirl, which for a living woman would probably cont as the female version of this trope.

** Interestingly, one episode had a "dress-up race" and Sasaki dressed like a stereotypical ''male'' delinquent.

This is where a characteris shown to have a very [[{{Gonk}} scary, thug-ish face]] -- mostly for comedic purposes. A face so scary that normal people [[{{Lampshaded}} are shown to be easily scared off just by looking at them]], and can make even [[GiantMook tough brutes]] feel uneasy. They may or may not turn out to actually be [[TheMessiah extremely kind-hearted people]]. The expression will often include a KubrickStare, where the face tilts down but the eyes look up.

* The main cast in ''{{Dorohedoro}}'' mostly plays it straight ''only'' when they have [[MaskPower their masks on]], and avert it by taking them off (Except Cayman of course). En even manages to be the CuteShotaroBoy in a flasback (Given, an AxCrazy OmnicidalManiac CompleteMonster Shotaro Boy, but hey, it's EN).

* Simon from ''{{Durarara}}'' is a friendly, peaceful and intelligent sushi tout. He is ''also'' a seven-foot-tall ScaryBlackMan that tends to scare off passer-bys with his mere presence. Interestingly enough, the [[HairTriggerTemper really dangerous guy]] in the show, Shizuo, is a slim blond "pretty boy" in appearance, and so unfortunate people sometimes underestimate him.
