The Japanese abbreviation of the English phrase "Lolita Complex." The term refers to the book ''{{Lolita}}'' by Vladimir Nabokov, which describes an older man's illicit sexual affair with a twelve-year-old girl. Sometimes written as "roricon" or "rorikon" due to the inexact mapping between Japanese and English phonemes. Not so much an AnimeTrope as a Japanese cultural trope, this is the term used to describe the fetish/fascination some mature people have for underage girls, particularly [[{{Joshikousei}} sailor-suited schoolgirls]]. There is an entire industry in Japan devoted to providing legal but schoolgirl-themed pornography, taking advantage of the [[{{Kawaisa}} cute]] [[{{Kawaiiko}} childlike appearance]] some Japanese women maintain well into their twenties.

Because the characters in anime are often young by convention, many fans think that a character can only be {{Lolicon}} if she is twelve or younger. Exceptions are granted if the other character in the relationship is a ''lot'' older.

{{Lolicon}} themes are far more common in {{hentai}} material, but can still be found here and there in mainstream anime. One particular device used to skirt the boundaries of taste and legality is the exotic being (alien, creature of magic, robot or the like) which takes the form of an underage human girl, but is [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld in fact for all other practical purposes an adult]]. Interestingly enough, Nabokov himself addressed the subject with far less sympathy and jocularity, describing said older man in his book as "a vain... cruel... hateful person." Nabokov's Lolita was also portrayed in a not very sympathetic light, as she consciously seduced him their first time to manipulate him, and was by no means unwilling or innocent in the affair.

Another reason why lolicon is fetishized by people may be because ''some'' of them just view it as a substitute for their {{fetish}} for [[{{Pettanko}} flat-chested]], but otherwise well-developed, women.

Oddly enough, many idols among the fetish are from [[{{shojo}} shoujo]] series intended for girls. However, this may have more to do with the innocent fetish the younger female ''audience'' has with having a cool older boyfriend. On the other hand, some MoeMoe series tend to be more blatant in their aims.

The trope ''may'' have a '''slight''' FreudianExcuse, at least in anime; after WWII, the Japanese constitution was amended to outlaw all public exposure of male genitalia (which of course led to the codification of NaughtyTentacles) or pubic hair, but not ''female'' genitalia - making every female in Japanese entertainment retain prepubescent traits. It's just as lame as most Freudian Excuses, though.

[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]

* Mayu in ''ElfenLied'' was sexually abused as a child by her step-father before she ran away.
* Sakura Kinomoto from ''CardCaptorSakura'' is infamous for her lolicon fandom; at ten years old, there's probably more RuleThirtyFour of her than of any other shoujo heroine.
** Likely [[FetishFuel fueled]] by her numerous ridiculously intricate battle costumes. Let us all give thanks for [[CosplayOtakuGirl Tomoyo]]!
** Then you have Rika who's going out with her teacher, and gets engaged to him before she even starts middle school. He's still wiling to wait for a time, at least...
* Kosuna from ''Series/DesertPunk'' is an odd case as the character was redesigned for the anime and had her whole apparent modified to be significantly shorter and cuter.
* Some of Wataru's sisters in ''SisterPrincess'' can be viewed as catering to lolicon.
** "Some of?" Out of twelve girls, only three are 16-17; some are 8, 9, or 10. That's pretty loli to me...
* ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' very subtly hints at the possibility that NERV Commander Gendo Ikari is sexually involved with 14-year-old mecha pilot Rei Ayanami. Until you learn that [[spoiler:he cloned her as [[ReplacementGoldfish a replacement for his dead wife]].]] What are you supposed to conclude then?
** Also, 14-year-old mecha pilot Asuka Langley Soryu is very smitten indeed with Misato Katsuragi's late-twenties ex-boyfriend Ryoji Kaji, and throws herself at him quite aggressively. To his credit, he always declines her offers -- though this may be less due to his morals than to the fact that Asuka is, to put it gently, ''seriously'' disturbed.
*** According to {{Word Of God}}, it's because he has no such feelings for her, both because he raised her [[ConvenientlyAnOrphan since shortly after her mother's suicide]] and because he wants to get back into Misato's pants/skirt/whatever she happens to be wearing. Keep in mind that just because Kaji ''acts'' like a lech, doesn't mean he doesn't have standards/morals.
*** [[{{Shotacon}} And don't forget that Misato is constantly flirting with and/or trying to molest Shinji.]]
*** In fairness, that's just a manifestation of her own serious psychosis - the hurt she felt when she lost her father meaning that she tries to protect herself by making every relationship she has superficial i.e. sexualized. But it is still a bit weird.
*** This just goes to show you- Don't try and dive into the sexual subtext of NeonGenesisEvangelion. It gets very scary very fast.
* ''{{Rizelmine}}'', a series which revolves around the (initially unrequited) love between a 12 year old [[RobotGirl synthetic human girl]] and her 15 year old crush (who has [[CakeEater the reverse of a Lolita Complex]] -- [[CakeEater he likes]] [[ChristmasCake mature (25-30) women]]). Made more disturbing by the fact that in order to biologically grow up, Rizel needs the 15 year old's "love" (in both the physical and spiritual sense). A {{RunningGag}} in the show is that Rizel is too innocent (being only 12) to realize how perversely what she is saying can be taken, but the protagonist is definitely not.
* In ''SteelAngelKurumi'', the general's obsession with Karinka.
* ''ParanoiaAgent'' is not a lolicon show, but it has three plot lines about the phenomenon, both done very disapprovingly: a twisted {{otaku}} who obsesses over underage girls, a pedophile who puts a hidden camera in his teenage daughter's bedroom, and the cop who, in his escalating attempts to pay of the Yakuza he is in debt to, goes nuts while robbing a family and is strongly implied to be about to rape the daughter.
* Hazumu's father's obsession with her after her transformation in ''KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl''.
* Chika in ''AiYoriAoshi'' caters to lolicon (and {{Fanservice}}). She spends most her time in a swimsuit and gets naked at least three times as often as most of the other characters.
* ''[[{{BludgeoningAngelDokuro-chan}} Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan]]'' hangs a lampshade on this repeatedly: part of the premise of the show is that Sakura is destined to create a longevity drug that has the effect of making all women stop growing at the apparent age of twelve -- not for the good of humanity, but because he was attracted to young girls!
** This goon shared a theory with one of his minons that the whole reason for Sakura becoming a pedophile- and lets be frank, that's exactly what he would end up if this whole deal is true- [[StableTimeLoop is Dokuro's fault]]. I mean, if I had my head blown off my shoulders every time I inadvertently saw someone naked (and I saw someone naked as many times as Sakura unfortunately does), I would be quick to associate "Anything my age" to equal "death" and hence go down the dark path.
* Evangeline A.K. [=McDowell=] of ''MahouSenseiNegima'' seems tailor-made for the lolicon crowd. She stopped aging when she became a vampire, so although she is actually very old, her body appears pre-teen (though her favored disguise is a well-endowed adult form). Similarly, the twins Fuuka and Fumika Narutaki are actually 15 in the series, but they look younger than their 10-year-old teacher.
** Don't forget about Chachamaru's alternate bodies. Those are designed in loli fashion, also. Some of the other characters (mostly Chisame) take on a loli form with the age deception pills.
*** Asakura's [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/c207/12.html loli form]] is also obviously geared toward this; just look at her [[{{Stripperiffic}} wardrobe choice]].
** Makes sense, given that it is kind of well-known that Akamatsu got his start with Cardcaptor Sakura H-doujin...
** There's also Anya, who's the only genuine Loli in the series, all the others are either OlderThanTheyLook, or are a RobotGirl.
* ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' -- Dr. Irie has a complex about Satoko. Oddly, this is never taken seriously, he's shown to actually care about her as an authority figure, and he ends up an ally of the kids.
* ''ExcelSaga'' has Dr. Shiouji, who blatantly eyes prepubescent girls and models the [[RobotGirl android]] Roppanmatsu II after them; he later takes the young Cosette to a [[LoveHotels love hotel]], although that backfires. Roppanmatsu II herself spends an episode lusting after the (relatively) adult Excel and eventually has apparent ([[RapeAsComedy non-consensual]]) sex with her off-camera. (As is the style for the series, all of this is played as over-the-top slapstick.)
** The manga goes a bit further into Dr. Shiouji's psychology, stating that mature women fail to attract him because of his overbearing mother with a disturbingly physical way of showing her love to... almost anyone she likes, actually. Also, it's clarified that although he stalks and photographs young girls without their knowledge, he wouldn't dream of actually molesting them -- well, at least not act on those dreams. He did create the loli-robot Ropponmatsu II, or Nishiki as she is often called in the manga, and the innuendo between the two makes it almost certain that she wasn't made just for eye-candy.
* The young girls of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' were emblematic enough that there was a substantial backlash when [=StrikerS=] aged up the protagonists to 19. However, they haven't lost the lolis; Vita is still a child, [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld due to her nature as a program]], and new lolis Lutecia, Caro and Vivio were introduced in this season.
** [[PettingZooPeople Arf]] reverts to one after [[AllThereInTheManual the events of the second season]] in order to consume as little of Fate's mana as possible, although her screen appearances in this form are little more than cameos.
* ''BubblegumCrisis'''s Anri is a rolled up RidiculouslyHumanRobots & RobotGirl hybrid. She's also a specifically designed sex android with a physical appearance of being underage.
* Most ''TokyoMewMew'' {{hentai}} {{doujinshi}}, of both couple and self-insert varieties, is of Ichigo, who begins the series at age 12 and ends at 13. The second most popular character for [[SelfInsertFic self-insert]] doujinshi is Pudding, who is no older than ten.
* When the American publication of the manga ''KodomoNoJikan'' (under the title ''Nymphet'') was announced, it was just as quickly canceled, after the publishers realized the difficulties of selling a manga that's all about an ''eight year old girl'' trying to seduce her teacher. The whole [[HikaruGenjiPlan "I'm going to raise my stepdaughter to be a substitute for my dead wife"]] part probably doesn't help.
* ''LuckyStar'': Konata's dad, Soujirou:
-->'''Soujirou:''' I not only like younger girls, but I like normal girls, too, so "I am ''also'' a lolicon" is correct.
-->'''Konata''': You fail at life either way.
** Kinda-sorta subverted since Kanata was actually slightly ''older'' than her husband. Not that she looked it. It is later implied that [[OlderThanTheyLook her growth was stunted]] due [[IllGirl to health problems which eventually killed her]], making this border on {{Deconstruction}} territory. The fact that Konata shares her mother's height at that age does not bode well for her health... and this has been explored in [[DarkFic dark fics]].
*** This, however, is kind of jossed by Konata's excellent health and athleticism, its touched upon numerous times upon that she could be the star of any sports club she wanted, if she wasn't too busy watching anime to attend. [[IllGirl Yutaka's health on the other hand...]]
** Also, [[GenreSavvy Konata]] does know [[OlderThanTheyLook she and Yutaka's failure to thrive]] would be FetishFuel for lolicon.
* In the ''[=~Pokémon~=]'' anime, many fans have noticed that May (ten years old) is...um...''quite developed'' for her age. The writers also seemed to be fond of [[{{Fanservice}} showing her in swimsuits]].
** Somewhere else on this wiki, it was pointed out that the exact level of this development is not consistent, suggesting the use of a push-up.
** Not to mention {{Shorttank}} Misty/Kasumi, whose outfit in the manga by Toshihiro Ono, based on the anime, is essentially half a tube top and a bikini made out of denim pants -- daisy dukes taken a bit too far, more or less. This is toned down in the US Manga, where her outfit is changed to a more reasonable tomboy outfit.
* Parodied in webcomic ''{{Megatokyo}}'', where the protagonist's incarnate conscience disapproves of a younger girl who has a crush on him, so instead sets him up with someone of more suitable age.
* Jenny in ''CosplayComplex'' is very forward about her passionate feelings for young Athena, very much to the dismay of Athena's older sister Maria.
* Rin from ''{{Mnemosyne}}'' probably counts, as her immortal girlfriend was in her young teens when she became an immortal. She also seems very aware how her relationship looks to others, and seems to enjoy watching people squirm over it.
* The female characters in the infamous ''{{Transformers}}: [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Kiss_Players Kiss Players]]'' were intentionally drawn this way, despite the fact that ''every single one of them is over the age of twenty.''
** While this may not seem all that bad at first, you then notice the insane overabundance of sexual imagery.
* In the ''{{Spiral}}'' manga sly LittleMissBadass Rio is actually seventeen and lives independently, but she looks like a shy twelve-year-old and uses it to her advantage. It actually becomes a joke as Ryoko calls Kousuke a {{Lolicon}} whenever she feels particularly jealous of his friendship with Rio. In the {{Prequel}}, after Kousuke is introduced as the "young detective," [[GenkiGirl Imari]] asks if Rio is the "loli-loli detective."
* ''AzumangaDaioh'''s Chiyo-chan gets a certain amount of this. {{Yuri}} lolicon fans like to [[CrackPairing pair her with Sakaki]]. No, you can't ever un-read that. (Though, to be fair, some non-lolicon {{Yuri}} fans will set the story years after the story's end when she's older and ''then'' pair them up).
** And let us not forget how we were introduced to Mr. Kimura.
--->'''Tomo''': Why did you get into teaching, Mr. Kimura?\\
'''Kimura''': CAUSE I LIKE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS AND STUFF!
*** Combine the above with the song at the top of the page for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo3Tpw-zLkM extremely unsettling hilarity (begins at 0:22)]].
* One part of the ''TenchiMuyo'' manga series (the second manga, that is) shows Sasami's guardian, the afro-styling [[PunnyName Mamamiya]] (nom de guerre for her Juraian bodyguard) defending Sasami from random perverts eying her over. One scene shows the pervert-detector issued (yes, pervert detector) reading everyone in the area lusting after her.
** And for those who wonder, the Tenchi/Sasami pairing is in the top three of Tenchi Muyo fanfic ships. It helps that she's ReallySevenHundredYearsOld... until you realize that she spent the vast majority of that in suspended animation. Some {{fanfic}}s will [[spoiler:merge Sasami with Tsunami]] in order to instantly increase her physical and mental maturity to match Tenchi's and thus avoid the lolicon.
** Then there's the ultimate mix, if you like furry loli ... Tenchi/Ryo-ohki. This does exist. Tho I would add Ryo-ohki as one of the saner girls.
* In the GagDub of ''ShinChan'', [[{{Toku}} Action Bastard]]'s sidekick is named [[MeaningfulName Loli Pop]]. She is directly stated to sleep around, which [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Mr. Bastard]] finds [[{{Squick}} disturbing]].
* ''DevilMayCry [[DevilMayCryTheAnimatedSeries The Animated Series]]'' introduced Patty Royale to the cast. This somewhat out-of-place element may have contributed to the DisContinuity regarding the show, and she has not shown up in the games yet -- or, as some fans might hope, if ever.
** In the manga, Dante is hired to find Alice, a young girl modeled after the titular ''Wonderland'' heroine. Of course, [[spoiler: she's Older Then She Looks, being willingly a demon in order to stay young-looking]]. This is later subverted when, in an attempt to get Vergil's attention, Alice ages herself up into a teenage body.
* ''{{Moetan}}''.
* All the SWA girls in ''GunslingerGirl''. They're all essentially in love with their handlers -- all much older men, in or around their thirties -- while the oldest among them, physically, is at most 14. (The exception to this is the new team, Petra and her handler Alessandro; Petra is 16 and Alessandro is much younger than the others.) Interestingly enough, the series' prototype was originally full-blown lolicon.
* ''ZettaiKarenChildren'' inverts, subverts, AND plays this one straight.
** Inverted: The three main 10 year-old espers are gaga over their 20 year-old handler Minamoto. Minamoto fights the good fight ''not'' to be a lolicon, but he gets treated as one constantly due to the way they overtly flirt with him and call him their boyfriend. Also, Kaoru, our LovableSexManiac, has a thing for older, "bouncier" women.
** Subverted: Minamoto really ''isn't'' a lolicon and views the girls as children, much to their frustration (especially at being ''treated'' as children). The poor man is doomed, though, since he knows they will grow up to be ''very'' attractive women, and [[spoiler: that he and Kaoru will be in love 10 years in the future when he has to kill her to save humanity]]. It doesn't help that his boss is actually ''trying'' to set him up with the girls.
** Played Straight: Naomi eventually snaps under the pressure of her trainer's HikaruGenjiPlan and becomes "Wild Cat." He hasn't given up yet. Starting around chapter 170 or so, we're treated to a 4koma showing a new young girl that he's training that Naomi hopes won't get the same treatment.
** Maybe Played Straight: Hyoubu gets accused of being a lolicon constantly.. Whether there is a sexual component to his interest is up for debate -- the people of B.A.B.E.L. just assume it once he describes Kaoru as his future "Queen." [[spoiler: Queen of Destruction, that is.]]
* Inverted in ''MidoriNoHibi''. While main character Seiji would love to have a girlfriend, he always blows off the advances of his 11-year-old neighbor Shiori, much to her frustration.
* The main characters in the anime ''SkyGirls'' are all 16 and 17 years old, but they're drawn to look like they're much younger. It doesn't help that they wear skimpy battle costumes.
* ''{{Ryofuko-chan}}'' does the whole {{lolicon}} shtick with the characters from ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms''.
* This is the most common {{Fanon}} interpretation of 24-year-old [[TheAce Li Xingke]]'s feelings for [[spoiler:13-year-old Empress Tianzi]] in ''CodeGeass'' R2. [[spoiler:And he's NOT likely to live for too long so he can wait for her to grow up, either.]]
* ''StrikeWitches'' -- 'nuff said.
* The characters around the age of Nagi Sanzenin, a 13-year-old, in ''HayateTheCombatButler'' are clearly made to appeal to the lolicon crowd. There's even quite a number of {{Fanservice}} bits provided for said characters which, thanks to the [[{{Postmodernism}} nature]] of the series, are often [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and lampooned. A character, Maria, is even disturbed when she observes that if the main character, a 16-year-old boy, were to fall in love with Nagi (and, due to a ''lot'' of misunderstandings, Nagi ''does'' believe he is in love with her) then: "A pedophile might be born."
* The 14 year-old Lucy from ''[[JoJosBizarreAdventure Steel Ball Run]]'' is frequently the target of several male characters' sexual desires (including an almost-hentai AttemptedRape scene by the president).
* In ''FruitsBasket'', Sohma Shigure (secretly) likes [[{{Joshikousei}} high school girls]]. Shigure is 28. Also, his ultimate love interest, [[spoiler:Akito]], is in her early to mid twenties. Shigure may actually not be a lolicon, since he [[spoiler:slept with Akito's mother]]. He claims this was because she [[spoiler:slept with Kureno]].
** While the age gap between Kureno and [[spoiler:Akito, who he's slept with]] is smaller than that of [[spoiler:Akito]] and Shigure, he does end up with [[spoiler:Arisa]], who is in her late teens.
** Whether Katsuya Honda (Tohru's father) was a lolicon or not, it didn't stop Kyoko from teasing him about falling in love with her when she was 14 (he, by comparison, was 20, so it's up in the air).
** There's also [[spoiler: Kyo's adopted father Kazuma and Tohru's friend Hanajima.]] While the precise age difference is never given, it's at least twenty years, and the romance begins before she's out of high school.
* Yuki from ''HourouMusuko'' seems to be both a lolicon and a shotacon, judging by the fact that she hit on a cross-dressing Yoshino, and then when she found out that Yoshino was a girl, she made a lecherous comment about 'satisfying' herself on Yoshino's 'budding breasts' while Yoshino is in the shower and can't hear her. Despite this and the fact that she's open about her attraction to Yoshino, both Yoshino and Shuu view her as a good-hearted, if sometimes weird woman.
* Though most of the UnwantedHarem in ''RosarioToVampire'' are extremely attractive young women with large, obsessive followings in school, the 11-year-old witch doesn't develop hers until the day the newspaper club passes out the school newspaper. As seen in the manga, at least, with her running away from her... admirers... yelling "Lolicons are scary!"
* Shizuku, the {{Pettanko}} water-snake spirit in ''{{Omamori Himari}}'', is fully aware of her appeal to lolicons and even declares at one point that there is [[{{Lampshading}} "only room for one loli in the series"]].
* ''Mon Seul''. 10 year old Minami loved Kanda, who stay together with her and his Oni-chan. Then one night, [[ItGotWorse Oni-chan find out what happened.]]
* Takatou Iori is just [[OrdinaryHighschoolStudent a 16 years old boy]] who [[HeroicSacrifice got hit by a truck to save a little girl.]] Then a mad scientist came and put his brain in 7-year old girl body. So, it comes to this, ''ICHINENSEI NI NACCHATTARA'' [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin (If he become a first grader).]]
* In ''[[JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu Haré+Guu]]'', Dr. Clive has a thing for all attractive women, including young girls. He is only interested in what Guu says when she has her cute face on, and he seems particularly close to Marie.
* ''GundamZZ'' was perhaps the first true Gundam series to introduce a loli to the mix, while we had cute kids and robots in the earlier series, Puru was essentially a true lolicon bait in the sense she was kind of sexualized in a few ways (bathing scene, PeopleJars are two immediate examples). The fandom took it and enjoy it as they make jokes about Char's sexual tastes, dubbing him the ped comet.
* ''IchigoMashimaro'' has a fair bit of Lolicon fanservice, and Nobue from it is a female Lolicon -- she spends the third episode of the anime getting Matsuri to dress up as a catgirl, then act the part, for instance.
* There's an example of this in {{Pandora Hearts}} with Vincent and [[EmotionlessGirl Echo]]. Let me sum it up with Echo's words: 'I can't understand why he always wants me to sit on his lap all the time.' We do, Echo. So damn much.
* Haruka Nishida from ''{{Kanamemo}}'' is a lolicon combined with gratuitous amounts of LovableSexManiac. Every episode she tries to molest Kana, Saki and/or Mika. She out and out states in the sixth episode of the series that she prefers girls between the ages of 7 and 15. She's basically what Nobue would be if Nobue had taken up booze over cigarettes.
* Adam Blade from ''{{NEEDLESS}}'', despite his muscleman of a post apocalyptic world appearance, also loves the little girls. His reaction when he first saw Mio, a petite young girl with a teddy bear, was a {{nosebleed}} and WingdingEyes, followed by rushing into battle more focused than ever.
* Satou from ''WelcomeToTheNHK'' undergoes a period as a lolicon (coupled with regular bouts of intense self-loathing at it) when he helps Yamazaki work on a {{H-Game}}, and engages in "research" to help flesh out the lolicon story path.
* ''{{Ichinensei ni Nacchattara}}'': MadScientist Yume transforms Iori from high school boy to elementary school girl after his fatal DivingSave, supposedly because she "didn't have enough parts". She spends the entire series trying to photograph him and his schoolmates in compromising situations and force him to wear [[{{Squick}} sexy underwear]].

[[folder: Comic Books ]]

* In a recent {{Supergirl}} comic, Kara develops a big crush on Nightwing and ends up kissing him, which makes him look kind of like an AccidentalPervert. Apparently his [[ChickMagnet charms]] don't just work on ''legal'' women...
* Hal Jordan once made out with an alien girl who was 14 years old. Years later we found out that their years were twice as long as those on Earth, [[FridgeLogic which actually changes nothing]].
* In Alan Moore's ''{{Lost Girls}}'' Alice, Dorothy and Wendy all have sexual encounters when in the 12-14 range.
* In Generations either volume 2 or 3, TimeTravel escapades put a 14 year old Lana in touch with a 100+ year old Superman (though he still looks 30), and Lana learns that she will never get together with Superman so she begs him for a kiss before all the past occupants are mind wiped of the incident. To his credit, Superman does object to this at first and has to be convinced by his parents that it will do no harm given that its just a kiss and nobody is going to remember after its done.
** The series also features two great granddaughters of Superman who, due to an accident are stuck at a [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld physically prepubescent age for more than a century.]] One of them falls in love with an adult Green Lantern. Fortunately, a power loss and subsequent repowering lead to one of the twins finally growing up and marrying an immortal super-powered Batman (it makes sense in the context of the series.)
* Robin in ''Return of the Dark Knight'' is a thirteen year old girl. Especially since in the sequel [[spoiler: Batman admits that he loves her at the end. She's sixteen by then but ''he's'' 61 so it still counts IMHGO.]]
* The Clock, the very first American GoldenAge comic book character, had Butch, a street-smart pre-teen girl who wanted to become his "moll." To his credit, the Clock was very uncomfortable with that and Butch eventually realized that it was futile and settled for being his plucky sidekick.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Film ]]

* Mathilda, the young girl from the Luc Besson film ''Leon: The Professional'', is no more than 13 years old, but engages in some disturbing banter with the hired hit man she stays with. At one point, she dresses up in lingerie (over her regular clothes) to sing Madonna's "Like A Virgin", and at one point, asks Leon to take her virginity (which he refuses). Much of this is because the character was originally written to be in her late teens; but it's telling that when then-thirteen-year-old Natalie Portman was cast, the character was ''not'' rewritten.
*** From an old interview I once read, Natalie Portman was actually ''eleven'' when she was cast for the role, and twelve during production. The movie was released several months after her thirteenth birthday.
** Natalie Portman plays a similar roll in ''Beautiful Girls'', though that movie is more of a comedy. She strikes up a chaste romance with a male character because she's an 'old soul'.
** and then there's her [[spoiler: dressing up like an underage girl to help set up a corrupt clergyman in ''V''.]] What is it with her? Not that I'm complaining.
** Shortly after, she hosted SaturdayNightLive, and cast member Chris Parnell asks if she still has the outfit from Leon. Her reaction: "Okay, that's gross."
* The film ''Interview With a Vampire'' is an odd subversion, in that Kirsten Dunst was eleven years old when she played the role, but her character was a thirty year old vampire trapped in a child's body. {{Your Mileage May Vary}} on the {{Squick}} that results when she kisses Brad Pitt.
** Do note that in the original novel, the character was trapped in the body of a ''five year old''. Your Mileage Will Not Vary there.
* Does Jodi Foster in ''Taxi Driver'' count?
** Also from Jodi foster: ''The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane''. In that one, she plays a thirteen year-old in a relationship with a high-schooler. There was also another character who was definitely a lolicon.
** Don't forget her vampish speakeasy singer Tallulah from {{BugsyMalone}}. The character was an adult, but Foster sure wasn't.
* To a varying degrees in any version of ''PeterPan'' but ohsomuch in the 2003 movie, Wendy Darling.
* Miette in ''City of Lost Children''. In fact French use of this trope seems second only to the Japanese.
* HardCandy applies the FatalAttraction premise to the growing Lolicon trend.

[[folder: Literature ]]

* ''OneHundredYearsOfSolitude'': in his youth, Aureliano Buendia fell in love and managed to marry the incredibly young and pretty Remedios Moscote. The relationship was approved only because his intentions were serious and she was [[WiseBeyondTheirYears wise beyond her years]]. Although exact numbers were not given, it's said explicitly that she was so young that they had to put off the marriage until her menarche. Unfortunately, she becomes TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth and [[DeathByChildbirth she dies during childbirth]].
* And, of course, the TropeNamer ''{{Lolita}}''.
* ''Vamped'' by David Sosnowski mostly averts this trope in that almost nobody's willing to have sex with vampires who look like children--much to the frustration of those vampires. However, one who's a main character manages a LastMinuteHookup with a pedophile.
* In ''Lasher'' second book of Ann Rice's Mayfair Witches trilogy Mona Mayfair, thirteen, seduces the much older Michael Curry. He's not her first, just the first [[IncestIsRelative who's not a cousin]]. I guess she wanted a bit of strange.
* In JohnRingo's PaladinOfShadows series (as discussed [[http://hradzka.livejournal.com/194753.html here]]), there's an awful lot of this. The main character has sex with a fifteen-year-old prostitute at one point, and there's some nasty stuff involving one who's only ''twelve''. Say it with me: "OH JOHN RINGO NO."
* Jessie in StephenKing's book Gerald's Game was molested as a child, and two of the voices in her head argue over whether she was a Lolita.
* In George RR Martins A Song of Ice and Fire series, Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish becomes infatuated with the young Sansa Stark (so far) culminating in him giving her a not-innocent-at-all kiss on the lips.
* In DavidWeber's Honorverse, the life extension medication that has recently (last 100 years or so) become available also extends all the stages of life- and it's taken at 8-9 years old. This leads to naval officers looking about 12 to the eyes of societies without prolong, and adverse reactions even among those who do have access to it.

* Just about every discussion in which Stephanie from live-action children's show ''{{LazyTown}}'' comes up outside dedicated fan circles (as well as inside certain fan circles) has some adult male fan bring up her sexual attractiveness, despite the character being just eight (the actress is older, being 13 when she took the role). That and the brightly coloured, unreal-looking world have lead some non-fans to conclude the show is of Japanese origin or [[{{Animesque}} heavily influenced]] by anime.
** It doesn't help when clips from the show are used to make risque [=GIFs=] for {{imageboard}}s and {{MessageBoard}}s.
* "Miri", an episode of the original ''StarTrek,'' featured Kirk giving the Kirk Treatment™ to a girl of about thirteen ([[GaussianGirl Soft focus effect]] and all.) Of course, she was [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld a couple centuries older than she looked]] (and the actress who played her was [[DawsonCasting eighteen]] at the time of filming), but they didn't know that, and when they did, it was repeatedly stated that the long-lived kids matured just as slowly emotionally as physically [[spoiler:(until finally mutating and going AxCrazy at adulthood and soon dying.)]]
-->'''Rand:''' Miri... she really loved you, you know.
-->'''Kirk:''' Yes. I never get involved with older women, Yeoman.
* The ''{{Dollhouse}}'' episode has Iris, [[spoiler: a twelve year old with the mind of an older woman imprinted in her]]. YMMV on whether the tatoo scene is [[{{Squick}} squicktastic]], FetishFuel or just another scene.

* ''BlissStage''. After TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, there is only a handful of adults in the entire world... and this game is the TropeNamer for LevelUpAtIntimacy5.

* In the ''{{Disgaea}}'' series, although Etna and Flonne are both thousands of years old, they are drawn as though they were twelve. Also, Laharl, who is also thousands of years old and drawn as though he were twelve, has an actual physical aversion to large breasts.
* Xianghua was the loli appeal character in ''SoulCalibur''. She grows up by ''Soul Calibur II'', so a new young girl, Talim, is brought in to the cast. By ''III'', she's almost legal, so Amy becomes a playable character, who is also extremely [[ElegantGothicLolita goth]].
* In the original version of ''SuperRobotWars Original Generation'', [[LittleMissBadass Latooni Subota]] and [[{{Ojou}} Shine Hausen]], are young girls (around 14 years old) who would go into battle wearing [[ElegantGothicLolita huge frilly dresses]]. This was toned done in both the ''Divine Wars'' anime and ''Original Generations'' remake, where they were given {{Latex Space Suit}}s (like everybody else, mind you), but their CombinationAttack "[[http://youtube.com/watch?v=YpbIO9Q17lY Royal Heart Breaker]]" which, we should mention, is performed in HumongousMecha that ''look'' like young girls in huge frilly dresses, still shows them in their dresses with them acting incredibly cute, mecha and all. Even their teammates wonder what that attack says about the two men who designed the mecha (and even did the motion data for that attack).
** And then there's the fact a ''woman'', who was already stated to be engaged, took quite the liking to them as well. Maybe Tsugumi is bisexual.
*** It should then be noted that one of the guys who created the Royal Heart Breaker just happens to ''be'' her fiance.
** A lot of fan works pair Sanger with Irui.
* In ''SchoolDays'', all of the five heroines are 15 years old. But one of them, Setsuna Kiyoura, actually looks ''much'' younger than that. She's [[GenreSavvy very aware of it]] as well, showing envy against her much curvier friend Sekai [[spoiler: who may or may not be her paternal half-sister, at least in the SpinOff game]] as well as towards Kotonoha, the girl with the biggest chest in the game.
** Also, in the SpinOff game ''Summer Days'' which has Setsuna as the heroine, 13-year-old Kokoro (Kotonoha's little sister) joins Makoto's UnwantedHarem. And yes, you can have Makoto sexing her up. Japanese MediaWatchdogs didn't like that ''at all''.
* Lillith in the ''{{Darkstalkers}}'' video games is made all the more appealing to {{Lolicon}} fans by the fact that [[HornyDevils she is a succubus]], just like her progenitor, [[MsFanservice the busty Morrigan]].
* Ilya from ''FateStayNight'' is blatant with her attraction to Shirou. Since she looks about 12 and also happens to be AxCrazy, he's not interested. Despite this, the hentai fandom for that pairing is disturbingly large, and the fact that Ilya is [[spoiler:never going to get physically older]] adds to the {{Squick}}. (For that matter, [[spoiler:it's also [[NotBloodSiblings technically]] incest]].)
** WordOfGod says that Saber was "about 14" when she [[spoiler:pulled the sword from the stone]] and therefore stopped aging. You may now {{squick}}.
* The ''ShingetsutanTsukihime'' character Ren (Or ''Len'' for the purists) is an extremely moe lolicon idol to just about any fan of the series. Many references are made in both "official" and fan works suggesting that Shiki may have a lolicon streak, and result in his great infatuation with her... Though Ren is actually Arcueid's demon familiar who is able to change between the form of a little girl and that of a cat, and happens to be several hundred years old. This resulted in the famous internet meme ''[[MemeticMutation A Cat Is Fine, Too]]''.
** Albeit technically, by the end of Kagetsu Tohya and the beginning of Melty Blood, Len has already gone into Shiki's possession/protection as his familiar -- she was dying trying to keep Shiki alive, and Arcueid, not being a Magus, cannot form a contract with her, while Shiki can, since he's a human and a Magus, albeit rather undeveloped in this regard. Best part of all this mess? Said contract is made by... yep, you guessed it, IntimateHealing. Takes the whole Lolita complex to an entirely new level.
** They have their IntimateHealing. Len is saved, all is well. They then proceed to have sex ''again'', in spite of it no longer being necessary in the slightest. A whole new level indeed.
* The story of Stalvan and Tilloa (anagram of Lolita) from ''WorldofWarcraft'' mimics the story of Lolita.
** Well, except for the part at the end where Stalvan slaughtered Tilloa and her entire family like animals the first time she showed interest in another man, then went on to continue hunting and killing young women for years to come. ''Lolita'' wasn't exactly a fluffy, happy tale, but geez...
* One of the main characters in the ''BladeRunner'' AdventureGame is Lucy, a 14 years old girl whose makeup and clothing leave little to imagination ([[http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~stvens/images/lucy.jpg take a look]]). In case she is revealed to be a replicant, you can found out that she was created exactly to fulfill Lolita fantasies. Some of the dialogue suggests she may have more than a crush on the main character, and in [[MultipleEndings one of the endings]] you can escape with her.
* ''Dirge of Cerberus'', a TPS spin-off of ''Final Fantasy VII'', introduced a 19-year-old girl stuck in the body of a 9-year-old named Shelke. She has memory fragments of the protagonist's old love interest in her mind and starts taking on bits of said love's personality--not to mention she's rather... ''developed''... for someone who's supposed to be pre-pubescent...
* In ''{{SHUFFLE}}'', Primula looks like she's about 12 (she's actually [[spoiler:technically younger, being an artificially created being]]). Although the anime is pretty bad about this (an episode dedicated to ''buying her a bra?'') it pales into comparison with the original H-game, where she has her own story (meaning that ''Rin can have hot, graphic sex with her!'')
** It's not that unreasonable. The bra thing, that is, we'll ignore the part with the sex. It's not like she has ''no'' breasts. Actually, a joke is made at [[{{Pettanko}} Maiyumi's]] expense because even Primula has larger breasts than she does.
** Also in ''Tick! Tack!'', screwing around with the timeline can result in Nerine being reduced to a loli. This does not in any way dissuade Rin from boning her.
** In the game it is constantly emphasized that she is biologically almost the same age as the main character. The lolicon is largely through her behavior, which somewhat changes by the time she has a relationship with Rin. She is put only one year behind him in school. In the anime, where they have no relationship of ''that type'', it's two years.
* In ''Phoenix Wright: AceAttorney -- Trials and Tribulations'' Larry Butz has no issue with showing attraction to the 9-year-old Pearl Fey. Pheonix notes "... I'd think the fact that she's only 9 years old would break some rules somewhere!"
** Hell, the ''Ace Attorney'' games are fucking packed with this, or at least the potential for it given Phoenix's habit of attracting underage girls. He notably maintains an appropriate level of decency, but "Director" Hotti/Hickfield lusts after any and all female characters involved in a case (and also Phoenix, apparently).
* Is there a scene in the original ''Xenosaga'' featuring MOMO where she ''doesn't'' produce one or more {{Panty Shot}}s?
** In fact, there is. While Albedo, arguably the main villain of the game, is in the process of [[spoiler:scaring her into unconsciousness by means of ripping (cutting in the Japanese version) his limbs off]] there are quite a few of those floating around.
*** Also, don't forget the fact that he's got a particular liking for artificial humans that look like 12-year-old girls. It really doesn't help that their dresses are ridiculously short for their intended age.
* In ''HarvestMoon'': ''[[DarkerAndEdgier A Wonderful Life]] [[VideoGameRemake Special Edition]]'',you can marry [[http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n7/OliviaElric/File0034.jpg Lumina]]. In the japanese version,she's ''sixteen'' years old,but in the NA version she's eighteen. Most people mistake her for someone between the ages of eight - eleven. It doesn't help that in the original Wonderful Life games,she was ''fourteen''..They didn't even change her appearence in SE.
** There's also Katie,who first appeared in ''[[{{Discontinuity}} Save the Homeland]]''. She ''says'' she's an adult,but hardly anybody believes her.
** To an extreme case,there's [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/hm/images/1/13/Luna.png Luna]]. She is [[{{UnderStatement}} rather]] short for her age,and acts like a child. In the "sequel", ''Animal Parade'',she becomes taller,even taller then her sister.
* In {{Tales of Symphonia}}, there's Presea, a 28-year-old stuck in a 12-year-old's body. Regal was in love with her younger sister, who left home before Presea stopped physically aging.
** Well, once you think about it, Presea and Regal aren't too different in chronological age. So considering Alicia was old enough to work, she can't have been that much younger than Presea, so Alicia and Regal's ages probably aren't too far apart.
* ''{{Touhou}}'' features a long list of apparently ([[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld but not really]]) underaged characters. In fact, almost any character that is a Stage 1 or Stage 2 boss will be one. [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires Remilia and Flandre Scarlet]] are also underaged. This is, however, only the less disputed {{Fanon}} interpretation. Because of the ambiguous age of the artwork, many characters are variably portrayed as either adult or underaged, DependingOnTheArtist. Suwako, in spite of being a mother, is still portrayed as prepubescent in most fan works. {{Squick}}. Her [[VitriolicBestBuds friend/rival/roommate]] Kanako is often portrayed as a buxom seductress, simply by the fickle power of the fans.
** Other girls in pairs often have this happen to them, in fact. Shiki Eiki is often loli-fied just because Komachi is taller than her.
** Patchouli Knowledge, DependingOnTheArtist, is noted as having extreme variance in apparent age and [[MostCommonSuperPower *ahem* two of her]] [[{{Pettanko}} other attributes]]. This may be in order to satisfy one artist or another's [[FetishFuel fetish]], as her personality and backstory qualify her for both LittleMissSnarker and HotLibrarian. In comedy {{doujinshi}} featuring many characters, she's often portrayed as a more oddly illustrated {{Hikikomori}} or DeadpanSnarker character.

* Just try to watch [[http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=oC82RLVdcsY this scene]] from ''CatsDontDance'' and not think about this.
* Toph from ''Avatar the Last Airbender'' could qualify. On top of that mud wrestling scene with Katara, and possible foot-fetish material, Toph is popular in more, well, erotic fanart (Though she's usually aged up a teeny bit)
* ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' introduced Baby Doll, a former child star with... issues, whose body would never age beyond childhood. Thus, she had a hard time looking for love, as everyone (including Killer Croc) found it [[{{Squick}} creepy]].
-->'''Batgirl''': What do you think they do on a date?
-->'''Batman''': ...I don't want to think about it
** When even THE Batman doesn't want to think about it, you know you're better off not knowing...

* The age of consent is different depending on the time and place. Some sources have Muhammad marrying a nine-year-old girl (Muslims consider these documents apocryphal; they are not part of the Qur'an), but the Qur'an does not give a specific age of consent. It says marriage should occur "at maturity," which most Muslims believe to mean once puberty has taken place. Others have interpreted this to mean girls are marriageable much younger. Iran recently raised the marriageable age for girls [[http://www.ageofconsent.com/iran.htm to 13(!).]]
* And don't forget Jerry Lee Lewis, who married his thirteen-year-old cousin.
** While she still believed in Santa Claus...
* There is some debate as to whether LewisCarroll [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Carroll#Suggestions_of_paedophilia /Charles Dodgson]] had a Lolicon sort of interest in Alice Pleasance Liddell and other girls. He photographed many nude young girls, but this was actually quite a popular non-erotic artform for the Victorians and may not even have been particularly unusual. Certainly there is some scholarly disagreement over what he actually felt and believed (it seems clear that he never actually had sex with a young girl).
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uslh-MIh4Do Saaya Irie.]] Full stop. It helps that she was remarkably well-developed even at the young age of 14.
** To be fair, she should be 17 or so by now, [[OrSoIHeard according to the other wiki]].

* This, my darling, is a device. A device many men and many women have died to see, to understand, and to own. In many ways it is like one of your toys, but a toy for adults. [[http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/12/09/loli-clock/ This, darling, is The Loli Clock.]]
* SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs (In non-[[DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney version]], Snow White is '''seven years old''' when she flees her stepmother. Unless she spend more than 8 years with dwarfs, the princess is clearly the lolicon.)
