* The H-manga ''"When I Returned to My Hometown, My Childhood Friend was Broken"'' (''Jimoto ni Kaettekitara Osananajimi ga Kowareteta'') by ''Zyugoya'' is about a young man named Touma who returns to his hometown after college, and finds his tomboyish child friend Kyouko is now a [[BreakTheCutie sheepish and timid woman]]. The manga's primary focus from hereon is Kyouko's perspective and her coping with anxiety [[spoiler:brought on by a group assault [[RapeAsBackstory heavily implied to be rape]] that happened in College when Touma was away (and the trauma from the event caused her to drop out and [[{{Hikikomori}} isolate herself]])]]. The remainder of the story is Touma and Kyouko interacting, with her battling her trauma against her desire to reconnect, and Touma cheering her on [[HealTheCutie as she improves herself and slowly finds ways to step forward]] (such as taking a part-time job to get out of the house). The story goes through numerous dates, an eventual engagement and marriage, pregnancy, birth, and then the two protagonists as parents to a tomboyish three-year-old daughter. Kyouko's past is shown numerous times to contrast against her current personality. She outright admits that she has never been particularly feminine, got into many fights, often argued about having to wear a skirt as part of her uniform (actively wearing men's shorts underneath in protest), and was never interested in what girls were doing. While this is still true to an extent in the present, her trauma has caused her to retreat from society, and her time with Touma has her actively begin pursuing stereotypical wife-like traits (such as cooking) in an effort to impress Touma (who just likes her as is). [[spoiler:It also doubles as a panic trigger, as Kyouko didn't want to tell Touma about the rape due to the past image of her being a 'strong' girl, and believing it would be tarnished if Touma knew about it. Touma, being a supportive partner, believes she is still just as strong as before, and that things have changed, but Kyouko is the same underneath.]]

Her sisters give her constant crap for not being girly enough, and since they're all [[AntiRoleModel airheads]] (in the dub, anyway, although Daisy [[HiddenDepths later subverts it]]) she just kind of runs with it to distance herself from them. Usually seen competing with Ash in pretty much every open competition they come across or cockblocking Brock.

* ''Manga/AreaNoKishi'': When Kakeru played alongside his teammate Seven in elementary school [[UsefulNotes/FootyRules football]], he thought of her this way.

And although her enemies occasionally talk shit about [[StayInTheKitchen her being a female soldier]], the entire Band of the Hawk has nothing but respect for her.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
** Tatsuki Arisawa is Ichigo's classmate and childhood friend. She's studied Karate since childhood, which paid off when she was ranked the second strongest girl in Japan (in her age group). Tatsuki also used to protect Orihime from bullies, when they were younger[[note]]Kids used to pick on Orihime because of her hair color and how long her hair was. So she used to cut it short, in hopes that they'd leave her alone. Tatsuki made them back off, by acting as Orihime's bodyguard, which is the reason Orihime grew her hair long - as a symbol of their friendship[[/note]]. After the timeskip, she part-times as an assistant instructor at a local dojo.
** [[{{ninja}} Sui-Feng]] is practically Tatsuki's shinigami separated at birth twin. They not only look alike, but they also have similar temperaments, each has a background in martial arts, and acted as bodyguards. However, Sui-Feng is an assassin and is currently Yoruichi's successor as both the head of division 2 and the Onmitsukido.

** Bulma has tomboyish traits and often shares common interests with her friends in the Dragon Ball Gang (and later, the Z Fighters). Her love for mechanics and gadgetry is a plus factor.

* ''Manga/MakenKi'': Azuki is well-known for being [[AmazonianBeauty one of the strongest girls]] at the academy, so it came as a surprise to everyone that she [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak secretly likes stuffed animals.]] Takeru and his friend, Usui, lampshaded it further in chapter 10 when they found her sewing:
-->'''Usui: ([[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]])''' Azuki sempai... are ''you'' sewing...?\\
'''Takeru: (snidely)''' Once again, trying to be a girl.\\
'''Azuki: (offended)''' You have a problem!? What do you mean, being "like" a girl!!
* ''Anime/MazingerZ'': Sayaka's hung out with boys ninety percent of the time, liked bikes right like them, and piloted HumongousMecha right like several of them.
* ''Manga/MiracleGirls'': PassionateSportsGirl Toni often hangs around boys and is tomboyish, especially compared to her twin sister.
* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'': Kobayashi was a tomboy as a child, and continues to have a complete lack of interest in anything even remotely feminine as an adult (barring the occasional ACupAngst). [[PlatonicLifePartners Takiya]] even says that she's "just one of the guys around the office".
* ''Manga/OnePiece'': This is apparently the kind of relationship Vivi had with Koza and the Suna Suna clan when they were kids. As a girl, Vivi didn´t have trouble fighting with boys of her age, and they also weren't afraid of giving the fight back.
* ''Manga/OresamaTeacher'': Mafuyu is [[LadyLooksLikeADude a plain-looking tomboy]] surrounded by handsome RagTagBunchOfMisfits. The main cast is changing ''very slowly'' into a BalancedHarem. At the moment, [[spoiler: Okegawa and Kenkawa]] have crushes on Mafuyu, who is still ObliviousToLove.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Misty. Her sisters give her constant crap for not being girly enough, and since they're all [[AntiRoleModel airheads]] (in the dub, anyway, although Daisy [[HiddenDepths later subverts it]]) she just kind of runs with it to distance herself from them. Usually seen competing with Ash in pretty much every open competition they come across or cockblocking Brock.
* ''Anime/PowerpuffGirlsZ'': Buttercup (known as Kaoru Matsubara in the original and Buttercup in the dub) is even more of a tomboy than the original western animation version. She is rarely seen wearing clothes that aren't knee-length shorts, a baseball cap, and a sports shirt. The only time she isn't wearing something like that was in a rabid imagination of Princess Morbucks or during her initial turn to her Powerpuff form where she wears a skirt, although the required skirt sent her into a mad rage which was only quelled by her breaking nearly everything. Additionally, the series makes it clear she loves sports, especially soccer, is rougher and rowdier than the other two girls (who refuse to partake in a few ventures due to their femininity), and nearly drives Ken to total exhaustion when she pretends to be his mother, which seems to entail waking him up early and forcing him to jog for a mile (much more akin to a father or a coach than a mother).
* ''[[Anime/QueensBlade Queen's Blade]]'': Elina is the TomboyPrincess (also Captain of the Royal Guard) of the Vance Family and is the youngest of her sisters. While all three are capable combatants, she's the only one who's had training in martial arts which is enhanced by her [[CatGirl catlike speed and agility.]]
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': As far as Ranma's concerned, Ukyō really ''is'' one of the guys. At least, he thought she was, back when they were kids. So he was shocked when he finally (as in years later) realized that she was really a girl the whole time. But he doesn't treat her any differently than he used to and mostly thinks of her as his oldest friend. Which is helped by the fact that she continues to refer to herself using the [[{{Bokukko}} "boku wa" pronoun]]. Ranma does refer to her as his "cute" fiancee, but that's mostly a dig at Akane (his "uncute" fiancee).
* ''Manga/TomoChanIsAGirl'': Tomo, the title character, is an athlete on par, if not superior to, any male of her age. Her best friend since childhood, Junichiro, legitimately thought she was a boy when they were children and seems unable to consciously acknowledge she is a girl. This is problematic for Tomo because she's in love with Jun and ''wants'' him to notice she's a girl.
* ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'': Maria Fleed was the biggest offender of the female leads of the trilogy. Her first appearance consisted of her racing against her male friends (and in the next episode, her first scene featured her racing against Kouji and getting pissed when she realized he was giving her special treatment), and she was infamous by being a decidedly tomboyish {{Tsundere}}.
* ''Anime/VariableGeo'': [[SpiritedCompetitor Yuka]] and her best friend, [[UnkemptBeauty Satomi]], are the {{tomboy}} equivalents of [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Ryu]] and [[Characters/TheKingOfFighters Kyo Kusanagi]] respectively. They studied martial arts together and grew up as sparring partners, so they've been [[FriendlyRivalry competing against each other]] in full-contact, since childhood. As a result, both are athletic, highly skilled, and are recognized as two of the top contenders in the VG tournament.
* ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'': In addition to being [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower freakishly strong]], Natsume is well known around Bokuto Precinct for being a BigEater and regularly engaging in arm wrestling contests with her fellow officers on her lunch break. It wasn't until [[TheAce Toukairin]] arrived at the station that someone could ''finally'' match her!
* ''Anime/YuGiOh'':
** Anzu Mazaki / Tea Gardner is a tomboy who is the only girl in her group of friends. A running joke is that she states "I need more female friends" whenever she gets exasperated at the guys' antics.
** Alexis from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' is more focused on the pro dueling circuit than the cute guys that other girls gossip about. It's not that she dislikes her peers, she just finds them harder to relate to than Jaden's gang. It doesn't help that their personalities are much more hyper than [[DefrostingIceQueen hers]].
