* Rather bizarrely, Ryu in ''VideoGame/StreetFighter V: The Animated Series''. The series essentially transplants the canon Ryu's personality and installs that of an atypical Shonen [[TheHero Hero]], including the voracious appetite.

* Index and Aisa Himegami of ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', although the latter is only a big eater when it comes to burgers. Index, however, will probably swallow a kitchen before being satisfied. Fortunately for her (and [[CatchPhrase misfortunately]] for the guy), Touma knows how to cook.

* What [[CatGirl Koneko Toujou]] from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' lacks in portion size, she makes up for in consistency. Whenever she's seen during downtime, she's constantly snacking on something, yet somehow keeps her figure as a tiny underclassman. Possibly justified by her position as a [[ChessMotifs Rook]], those insane feats of strength she casually performs must burn calories pretty efficiently. Plus her less active (albeit older) sister is... [[MsFanservice significantly curvier]].

* Reina Izumi from ''LightNovel/MyriadColorsPhantomWorld'' eats like a black hole. She also has the special ability of sealing Phantoms by eating them.

* Lina Inverse, Gourry Gabriev, Amelia and, in the anime, Pokota in ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''. Justified in-universe as the more you do, the more you need to eat to sustain yourself. As a result, spellcasters need to take in lots of energy to counteract the drain of the spells they cast, and Lina is extremely careless about slinging spells around. Gourry's hyper-swordsman skills (and his own considerable stature) take up a lot of energy for similar reasons. The only exemptions are Xellos, who is an EmotionEater, and Zelgadis, who usually eats ''less'' due to his nature as a Chimera -- being one-third demon and one-third [[{{Golem}} rock golem]] means he needs less physical sustenance. The one time he does eat like the others is to enjoy a victory feast for killing Copy Rezo and Zanaffar at the end of the first season.

* Kumoko from ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'' eats pretty much anything she can kill (given that starvation is a very real risk for her), and can consume many times her own mass in one go. She's a bit mystified as to how that works until she discovers that the excess is stored away magically.

* In ''LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'' Katarina absolutely loves sweets and tea and will consume them until she literally gets sick and risks either throwing up or wetting herself. She can eat enough of them for several people and is only barely held in check by her mother and brother. She'll even eat off the ground if she thinks it looks tasty. It's eventually noted that this constant wolfing down of everything sweet in her vicinity ''is'' starting to cause some weight gain, though she doesn't care at all.

** Orihime eats strange food combinations and often has strange portion sizes to go with it. She once eats an entire loaf of bread in one sitting. Her classmates theorise that the reason she doesn't put on weight is because her food immediately goes to her [[GagBoobs breasts]].

* Genma Saotome from ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' is referred to in the series as a glutton, and he seems unable to resist stealing and eating any bit of food that he comes across. His actual girth, however, seems to be more one part [[StoutStrength stocky build]] to one part [[LimitedWardrobe wearing nothing but a baggy old gi]] to one part [[BalefulPolymorph turning into a big fat panda when splashed with cold water]].

* Holo from ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'' doesn't wolf down an unrealistic amount of food like some of the other examples as fitting the more serious tone of the series, but she will eat herself sick if she's got enough apples and in the novels she loves cookies. She's had serious hangovers more than once, too. This is all because she doesn't know her limits to eating while in human form. Like many people often do sooner or later, she finds herself pushing to the limit of how far she can go just because she doesn't know when to stop. This behavior is justified InUniverse as a case of MyInstinctsAreShowing (as Holo explains, a wolf's instinct is to gorge herself on food when she has it, because she doesn't know when she'll get to eat again), and Lawrence theorises it might also be a case of ShapeshifterBaggage -- that is, Holo eats so much because her true form is a roughly elephant-sized wolf and she needs to support that body, not a mere petite human one.

** Misaki Kirihara isn't quite as bad as Hei, but does eat a lot as well (and likes fried food), which she justifies by claiming she gets lots of exercise as a cop. Gets taken [[UpToEleven over the top]] when the two of them have dinner together.

** Played UpToEleven and {{Deconstructed|Trope}} to the point of HorrorHunger with Android 21, the BigBad from ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterz''. Being a bio-android of the same kind as Cell, she's programmed to eat other people, especially strong people, in order to gain their power. Also, much like Cell, she was [[LegoGenetics made from the genetic makeup of many different races]], including the above mentioned big eaters, Saiyans and Majin. All of this combined has given her an unstable, uncontrolable and insatiable hunger for other fighters. This is played as much for tragedy as it is horror, as [[WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere Android 21's all-consuming hunger prevents her from having the one thing she truly, sincerely wants:]] A family.

** Lady Minerva. She wins Sabertooth's annual eating contest with little effort at all, and without looking any fatter (in contrast to Sting and Rogue). In the epilogue, she even asks for [[UpToEleven 30 more desserts]] afterwards.

*** Taken UpToEleven in the Impel Down arc, where he spends two days locked in a room fighting off Magellan's poison; when he finally succeeds, Ivankov and the other refugees have to throw him five days worth of food, which he devours in minutes. (As in, five days worth for the whole Newkama colony.) Justified, possibly, because fighting off the poison was hardly easy. (Ivanakov didn't expect him to survive, placing the -- enhanced -- chances at about 2%.)

* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'':
** Conan's friend Genta Kojima is quite portly for an elementary school kid, and he's often seen eating or complaining about how hungry he is.
** Also, more than one victim is pretty pudgy and a big eater. [[spoiler: Like the "Baumkuchen" case, in which a fat man is killed via being tricked into eating a piece of his favorite pastry... which had poison.]]

* All of the Baikins from ''Franchise/{{Anpanman}}''. They have well-defined stocky bodies and use dirty tactics to get food out of people, often demanding refill after refill.

* Ran, the [[AloofDarkHairedGirl Aloof Dark Haired]] ActionGirl protagonist of ''Anime/KazemakaseTsukikageRan''. Justified as she's a destitute {{Ronin}} and her poverty gives her few chances to eat well.

Grammar Checked through Cahe Detective Club.

* C. C. from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' [[TrademarkFavoriteFood loves pizza]]. Fans like to joke that it goes straight to her trunk, hence the FanNickname "Pizza Butt".

* In two ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' versions, the title MagicalGirl is a BigEater since she burns LOTS of energy while fighting/transforming, so she needs at least a minimum of energy to have access to her VoluntaryShapeshifter and {{Master of Disguise}} powers.
* Hei from ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' is both an excellent cook, and known for eating a [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RKasPR27xl0/TQ-VpoVwRAI/AAAAAAAAAR8/0HWuaFuGchw/s1600/Darker+than+Black+scrnshot10.jpg ridiculous number of servings]] per meal. Granted, he probably burns a lot of calories due to all the super powered contractor fights he partakes in, but still. Since he's a Contractor, it initially seems that his eating habits are his [[PowerAtAPrice Remuneration]], but it turns out that, ''nope'', he just really likes food. Misaki Kirihara isn't quite as bad, but does eat a lot as well (and likes fried food), which she justifies by claiming she gets lots of exercise as a cop. Gets taken [[UpToEleven over the top]] when the two of them have dinner together.

* ''Anime/DekoBokoFriends'' has a character named Belly Boing who absolutely loves to eat sweets. The fact that his name is ''[[MeaningfulName Belly Boing]]'' says volumes about his eating habits.

* All of the Baikins from ''Franchise/{{Anpanman}}''. They have well-defined stocky bodies and use dirty tactics to get food out of people, often demanding refill after refill.
* [[spoiler: Kirio Hikifune]] from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', and in her case it's justified as she has to bulk up to recharge [[LifeEnergy her reiatsu]]. Plus, she's also a ChefOfIron and her [[spoiler: Gate]] is nicknamed "Palace of Food", since she uses her reiatsu to cook her [[SupremeChef really delicious]] {{Power Up Food}}s. [[spoiler: And it's subverted later; if Hikifune uses up ''all'' of her reiatsu... she temporarily slims down and goes from a BigFun lady to a total babe who resembles ''[[MsFanservice Matsumoto]]'', of all people.]]
* Chang aka Cyborg 006 from ''Manga/Cyborg009''.He's a restaurateur with his own business on top of that, and that he also worked in the food industry before being turned into a Cyborg. Furthermore, his Cyborg ability ([[PlayingWithFire fire breathing]]) ''helps'' in his line of work.

* BigEater/Literature

!!Thin Characters

* Renge of ''Manga/{{Airmaster}}'' is well known for this. Anytime she even sees [[UnknownRival Sakiyama]], she will demand her to buy food. Hell, in one episode, she ate an entire bowl of rice in mere seconds and outate several adults in a food-eatting contest. The only thing that makes it over the top is that she's [[OlderThanTheyLook as small as a child despite being a teenager.]]

* Charles Grey in the ''Manga/BlackButler'' manga managed to eat Earl Phantomhive out of house and home, with 34 dishes piled high.
* Train from ''Manga/BlackCat'' manages to use up millions of dollars from hard earned bounties by eating too much. How he manages to remain stick thin remains a mystery... In certain fan communities, there's actually a joke about how, even if [[BigBad Creed]] [[WeCanRuleTogether wanted Train]], he probably wouldn't be able to support him, considering how Train goes through food money like water.

* Saya Otonashi of ''Anime/BloodPlus'' has this to the point that her [[HappilyAdopted brother]] Kai regularly refers to her as a glutton. It's actually an example of FridgeBrilliance: Saya only receives enough blood through transfusions to remain healthy, but her body still needs more energy, and human food doesn't quite match up to blood.

** Nana Mizuha, whose EmbarrassingNickname is the "Demon Lord of Gluttony" and "human black hole". The RunningGag involves her eating large quanities of food to the point she was ''blacklisted'' from a resturant. Another is when she eats, her crush Touma Tokigawa would give her more food, to her embarrassment (which suprisingly, is what he likes about her). And then there's the one time she wins a "All you can eat" contest without ''realizing'' it. She does however uses it to her advantage as she wins a gold keychain set with her eating habits (which is eating ''99 burgers in one sitting''). Also, let's not forget she ate an ''entire loaf of bread'' for breakfast. Funnily enough as well, she can cook.
** Her UnknownRival Yurika Minamigawara is also this. Unlike Nana, who eats rather elegantly, she does not...

* [[BigBad Prime]] [[EvilChancellor Minister]] [[IronicName Honest]] from ''Manga/AkameGaKill'' is always seen eating. He claims it's [[PostStressOvereating due to stress]], but like [[ConsummateLiar everything else he says]], it's a total lie. He's a bloated and grotesque [[TheHedonist hedonist]] who simply enjoys basking in his own wealth and corruption.
* Buccha from ''Manga/AirGear'' is a rare DoubleSubversion. He eats a lot, and appears to be tremendously fat. However, he's only got about 6% body fat; his appearance is due to [[ArtisticLicenseBiology blood pooling in his stomach from overeating]]. When he exerts himself, the blood goes to his muscles, and his ridiculously sculpted body is revealed.
* ''Manga/DetectiveConan'':
** Conan's friend Genta Kojima is quite portly for an elementary school kid, and he's often seen eating or complaining about how hungry he is.
** Also, more than one victim is pretty pudgy and a big eater. [[spoiler: Like the "Baumkuchen" case, in which a fat man is killed via being tricked into eating a piece of his favorite pastry... which had poison.]]
