*''Anime/{{Albegas}}'': The Dellinger military is all-male except Mirror Zero, who works as a spy-slash-assassin and gathers information for their plans. She's a DarkActionGirl in her own right, but often treated like a ButtMonkey by everyone around her.

* ''Manga/KurokosBasketball'': Riko Aida is the only female of the Seirin High school Basketball Team. This is rare for a [[GamingAndSportsAnimeAndManga shonen spokon manga]] due to biological reasons along with a Main/BishonenJumpSyndrome cast. All this is justified with her [[ItMakesSenseInContext being the coach of the team]]

* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': Asuka is the only female main character of the ''GX'' cast, as well as the only female Key Guardian during season 1. With the later addition of Rei at the beginning of season 3, it seems like TwoGirlsToATeam, but Rei phases out from the plot so quickly and so many times that she's never around for the important parts of the main story, leaving Asuka as the only prominent female main character.
* ''Anime/YuGiOhZexal'':
** Droite is the only female member of Dr. Faker's faction.
** Merag is the only female member of the Seven Barian Emperors, and the only female Barian, period. This also extends to her Over One-Hundred Number and her Legendary Number, which are also female monsters among mostly male monsters.

* ''Anime/YuGiOhVrains'': [[WaterIsWomanly Aqua]] is the only female Ignis, due to her Origin, Miyu Sugisaki, being the only female victim of the Lost Incident.

** ''Anime/MetalFightBeyblade'' pulled the principle too until ''Anime/MetalFightBeybladeZeroG''. Two of the six main characters there are girls and one of them on occasion has her mentor over, who is also female. But other than that group, it's one girl or no girls.

* While there are many female characters in the main and supporting cast of ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'', there is only one female member (Marielle of the Crescent Moon Alliance) out of the 11 members in the Round Table Council, the player-run government of Akihabara. This is a result of the major guilds in Akihabara mostly having male guild masters.
