9	* Haiji from ''Manga/AiKora'' is a hyperactive, always-cheerful girly LoveFreak. Naturally, [[StupidSexyFlanders he just had to have]] [[ChivalrousPervert Maeda's]] [[{{Fetish}} ideal arse]].
10	%%* Akito from ''Manga/AirGear''.
11	* Tendonman from ''Literature/{{Anpanman}}''. He's the youngest, most traditionally cute-designed, and loudest member of the Donburiman Trio, and was the first Keet of the series, being introduced in the first episode before the other members of the trio.
12	* ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'':
13	** Isaac Dian is quite the Keet. And since his partner Miria Harvent is a GenkiGirl, well...
14	** [[LaughablyEvil Ladd Russo]], [[LargeHam Graham Spector]], and [[spoiler:Claire Stanfield]] appear to be evil versions of this trope.
15	* Toru Nanamine of ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'' is constantly enthusiastic, even when his one-shot, "Classroom of Truth" doesn't get an award. [[spoiler:It turns out to be an act, as he is actually quite smug and manipulative]].
16	%%* Finnian in ''Manga/BlackButler''. Prince Soma, too.
17	* Asta from ''Manga/BlackClover'' is hyperactive and enthusiastic about anything and everything pertaining to becoming Wizard King. He's also one of the only people who try to put a positive spin on things with his overwhelming optimism and he also rarely stops moving, especially when training as he feels the need to constantly be active and do something productive.
18	* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
19	** Yuushirou's very talkative and hyperactive, and rushes thoughtlessly around the place whenever he wants to try and catch up to Yoruichi (which is often). He is eager to please and highly emotional, becoming tearful when Yoruichi leaves him behind or extremely excited whenever he sees her or feels he's done something to please her.
20	** The Sogyo no Kotowari twins from the Unknown Tales arc are small, cute children who engage in playfully dangerous behaviour such as playing fan games with fans that turn out to be energy-firing weapons. Even when they're trying to kill their Soul Reaper master (Ukitake), they never stop being cute. In fact, they even weaponise their cuteness to disarm Ukitake; they almost take his head off with the fan-game before he realises they really are the spirits of his ''weapons'' and starts taking them seriously.
21	* A somewhat more mild version is Alistair Cornwell alias Stear from ''Manga/CandyCandy''. He's very cheerful, energetic and a teenaged AbsentMindedProfessor, but he can also be serious when needed [[spoiler: and ultimately falls victim to a truly tragic death in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI.]]
22	* ''Manga/Classi9'''s Haydn is one. He cannot stay still even when performing or leading musicians.
23	* ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'': Yumoto, the shortest, youngest, most talkative, InTouchWithHisFeminineSide member of the Defense Club who'll jump into a hot spring fully clothed just because a fluffy wombat appeared out of nowhere.
24	** Ryuu, to a milder extent, also applies, as he is the second most energetic of the Defense Club overall, as well as being quite extroverted.
25	%%* Lavi from ''Manga/DGrayMan'' is every bit as genki as any GenkiGirl.
26	* Laios from ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'' has his moments of this, usually when he's nerding out and squee-ing over [[NightmareFetishist monsters]].
27	%%* Asato Tsuzuki from ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness'' waffles back and forth between being this and TheWoobie.
28	%%* Kanda Yuusuke from ''Manga/ADevilAndHerLoveSong'' tends to act pretty genki at times. He's not small or hyper-active, but seems to be the cheeriest out of the bunch. He holds a bright personality & tends to be overly friendly, which annoys his best friend Meguro sometimes.
29	* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'':
30	%%** Takeru Takaishi from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure''.
31	%%** [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 V-mon]] is a Genki, well, {{mon}}. [[FridgeBrilliance It's why V-mon's such a great match for Daisuke.]] -- while Takeru's busy [[NotHimself not quite]] [[BerserkButton being his usual affable self]] in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'', Daisuke takes Takeru's place as the Keet.
32	** Tagiru Akashi of ''Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime''. Dear god, Tagiru. ''Steam blasts out of his nose when he's really excited'', for god's sake.
33	%%* Mizumachi Kengo from ''Manga/Eyeshield21'' is 203 cm of sheer moxie.
34	* JJ Adams in ''Manga/{{FAKE}}'', who spends most of his on-panel time gleefully flinging himself at Dee.
35	* Momiji Sohma from ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' is the embodiment of this trope, even wearing the girls' uniform with shorts instead of a skirt, and seems to be in love with Tohru. He grows up at the end and stops being as much of a Keet, though he's still rather genki.
36	* Shoyo Hinata from ''Haikyuu!!'' never runs out of energy.
37	%%* ''Manga/{{Gravitation}}'':
38	%%** Shuichi see main page picture).
39	%%** [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryuichiglomp.jpg Ryuichi]], however, is unarguably the show's biggest Keet. There's [[GeniusDitz another side]] to him, however....
40	* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
41	** North Italy mixes this with TheDitz.
42	** Poland too, if in a different way (more teasing and playful than cute and hyper), gratuitously mixed with {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
43	** And Japan [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbzlZS4zOVk&feature=related at one point]] thanks to Italy.
44	** Sealand fits the bill, being an ''incredibly'' [[{{Determinator}} plucky]] CheerfulChild.
45	** As for the rest of the [[RagtagBunchofMisfits Micronations]], we've got the very bold [[MouthyKid Ladonia]].
46	* Shiro of ''Anime/{{K}}'' has this personality and [[{{Moe}} this look]]... [[spoiler: when he's in Tooru Hieda's body. But he's actually a 6-foot-tall silver-haired German adult, and he still has this personality in that body, which is somehow even cuter.]]
47	* Micchi of ''Manga/KamichamaKarin'' takes this to whole new levels. His interaction with the rest of the main cast comes dangerously close to flirting (both with Karin and Kazune). This is even though he's a year older and OneHeadTaller than either of them.
48	* Mizuki from ''Manga/KamisamaKiss.'' He's a little older than most examples here but otherwise fits the trope perfectly.
49	* Yogi from ''Manga/{{Karneval}}'' can be overdramatic and flamboyant one moment, then more serious than his "rival" First Ship's female fighter the next. He's not small and cute, though; just loud and cheery. It annoys the heck outta IneffectualLoner Gareki when his sunshiny personality is directed at him.
50	* [[WholesomeCrossdresser Kuranosuke]] of ''Manga/PrincessJellyfish'', while not as small or shrill as your average {{Keet}}, still fits the bill.
51	%%* Yuri in ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh''. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Most of the time]].
52	%%* Otani from ''Manga/LovelyComplex'' is this quite often... awww.
53	%%* Nagisa Shiroi in ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''.
54	* As the second tallest character in ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'', 6-foot tall Wakamatsu is noticeably larger than the usual example, but still a little too meek to be considered a BoisterousBruiser. Watamatsu can be very happy-go-lucky and exuberant, especially when among friends. It's even lampshaded by Hori in Episode 11 of the anime.
55	-->'''Hori:''' You're so energetic.
56	** A strange example from the same series: Yu Kashima is a woman, which would normally make her a GenkiGirl... except that she's also a massive {{Bifauxnen}} with the personality of an archetypal OtomeGame hero, including fitting this trope better. She's talkative, extroverted, competitive, somewhat immature, and younger than the main cast, even getting protective of her status as "the beloved kohai", while lacking the physical over-exaggeration and exhausting presence of a standard GenkiGirl.
57	* ''Manga/NabariNoOu'': Gau, who is hyperactive, [[HotBlooded passionate]] and regularly loud. Yukimi's nickname for him is "Tenpa-kun", which is derived from the slang term "tenparu" (lit. "about to blow a fuse").
58	* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
59	** A good portion of the male student body falls under this (and the girls aren't any better). The final event in the previous year's Mahorafest was a campus-wide game of ''tag''. Which they aren't repeating this year because there were ''too many injuries''. They were down to a game of hide-and-seek when an army of robots shows up with [[ClothingDamage clothes-stripping lasers]]. So the teachers simply armed them with anti-robot magic guns and let them loose.
60	** Negi also qualifies when he's able to get away from his TrainingFromHell and responsibilities as a teacher. When he acquires a time machine during the festival arc and realizes he has enough time to do everything, he goes right into adorable-kid mode. His first impulse was to use the time machine to go back and see the dinosaurs.
61	* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
62	** Tony Tony Chopper from ''Manga/OnePiece'' to a certain extent.
63	** Luffy. He dresses in bright red/orange, is prone to yelling, [[GenkiGuy has way too much energy]], he's extremely short, and is drawn in a sorta "cute" style with big round eyes that makes him [[ArtisticAge seem younger than he is]].
64	* A good 25% of the cast of ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', but especially Honey, who [[OlderThanTheyLook looks like a 10-year-old despite being a high school senior]], and the CampStraight LargeHam Tamaki. Tamaki was especially energetic in middle school, much to Kyoya's annoyance.
65	%%* Oz of ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' at times.
66	%%* Tetsunosuke in ''Manga/PeacemakerKurogane''.
67	%%* Cooro from ''Manga/PlusAnima''.
68	* Eiji Kikumaru from ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'', though he evolves more into a BunnyEarsLawyer as his character [[CharacterDevelopment develops]] through the series. Boys like [[GeniusDitz Jiroh Akutagawa]] and Gakuto Mukahi from Hyoutei Gakuen and Kintarou Tooyama from Shitenhouji fit more into the archetype.
69	* Hanagata from ''Anime/SaberMarionetteJ'' is also CampGay.
70	* Son Goku (no, not that [[Franchise/DragonBall Son Goku]]) from ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}''. He's this...[[PunctuatedForEmphasis OH. SO. MUCH]]! He's always enthusiastic about exploring new places, especially if it means trying out new foods. In the manga, he slowly grows more mature.
71	* [[StereotypicalNerd Umino]] from ''Anime/SailorMoon'' is pretty excitable in telling his buddies about stuff he's experienced, [[TheFriendNobodyLikes much to their annoyance]]. Even after he gets a RelationshipUpgrade with [[spoiler:Naru]], he still doesn't give up his excitable ways.
72	* Mikogami from ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}'' is a villainous example, and tends to react to anything exciting happening with squealing and comical expressions of joy.
73	* Ushijima in ''Manga/CorpsePrincess'' is another hetero example.
74	* Mizushiro Hizumi from ''Manga/{{Spiral}}'' is "the Devil"... a very, very cheerful and cute one. When he isn't being murderous and/or unbearably angsty, that is -- he'll switch between all three moods in a matter of seconds.
75	%%* Takuto from ''Anime/StarDriver''. However, [[{{Bishounen}} his gender is]] [[CampStraight definitely in question]].
76	%%* Witzy, the main character from ''Anime/SuzysZooDaisukiWitzy''. His best friend Boof comes in second.
77	* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwords'' [[Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwords2004 manga]], Red Link is this, much to the annoyance of the [[HotBlooded Blue Link.]]
78	%%* Amasawa of ''Manga/TheWeathermanIsMyLover''.
79	* ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'': Vash the Stampede falls into this mode as a part of his ObfuscatingStupidity, but he also seems to take some comfort in the act, especially while enjoying his donuts, which is a sure trigger for it.
80	%%* Kakeru ([[MoeAnthropomorphism December]]) from ''Music/{{Tsukiuta}}''. Voiced by Creator/YuukiKaji.
81	* Haru from ''Anime/{{Tsuritama}}''. Cute, eccentric, and least a third of his dialogue is yelled.
82	* ''Anime/UtaNoPrincesama'' heroine Haruka Nanami's singing idol Hayato is this. Or rather being keet is his image for the fans.
83	* Q-vier of ''Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator'' (cv: Creator/YuukiKaji) -- a super-assassin BloodKnight with this personality. He's lived most of his life in a secret assassin-training facility and doesn't seem to realize that it's not normal to kill as frequently as you brush your teeth (to quote a [[Anime/CodeGeass similar character]] from the same writer). The result is unsettling, to say the least, and very sad.
84	* Nava of ''Manga/WildRock'' as he gets older.
85	* Kimihiro Watanuki in ''Manga/XxxHolic'' is so Keet that eventually Doumeki stops bothering to tell him to quit being so loud and simply covers his ears when Watanuki inevitably gets overexcited. Or annoyed, which happens more often in Doumeki's vicinity. He steadily starts growing out of it due to CharacterDevelopment, and then abruptly ceases to be this completely when a certain major character dies.
86	* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': Yugi, particularly after finding friends.
87	** [[TheHero Judai]] of ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' started out as this.
88	** For ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' Leo/Lua appears to fit this role on occasion.
89	* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'':
90	** Jin. This is not helped by the fact that he has the same [[Creator/KappeiYamaguchi Japanese voice actor as Ryuichi Sakuma]].
91	** The concept itself is horribly, ''horribly'' deconstructed by [[spoiler:Kiyoshi Mitarai]], though, since he has the looks of a ''keet'' [[Creator/RicaMatsumoto and the voice for it]] [[spoiler:but all it gets him is to be '''horribly''' bullied, which later makes him lose his faith in people and join Sensui in his quest...]]
