** ''Anime/YuGiOhGORUSH'': Twins Yuhi and Yuamu Ohdo run their company UTS after inheriting it from their parents, with Yuamu being the CEO. Unlike the other examples, which are [[MegaCorp Mega-Corps]], UTS is a very small company and they have to take all kinds of small jobs to keep it afloat.

to:

** ''Anime/YuGiOhGORUSH'': ''Anime/YuGiOhSEVENS'': The Goha Six are the true presidents of Goha, six preteen siblings chosen by a supercomputer. While they do have ultimate authority, they're usually in space watching over the Goha Duel Server carved into the moon (at a facility that also serves as their school) and the President Drone assists/controls a figurehead president, who is generally an adult.

Unlike the other examples, which are [[MegaCorp Mega-Corps]], UTS is a very small company and they have to take all kinds of small jobs to keep it afloat. Yuamu also receives consistent counseling from the twins' guardian, Galixon Tazaki, and the other adult employees.
** Asaka Mutsuba is president of Mutsuba Heavy Machinery, despite only being around twelve. As Mutsuba Town is a company town, it also makes her de facto mayor. It's a DeconstructedTrope to a degree because she throws her weight about due to the authority this gives her, which is a tad problematic considering her "weight" includes a ''bucket-wheel excavator''.
** Yuna Goha is president of the Goha Company. While it's the company responsible for creating Rush Duels, Asaka and Yuga Ohdo did most of the heavy lifting, and the Goha Company had previously only been a failing toy store prior to Yuga showing up.

* For a while, Fiona Fennec of ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' 'had custody' of her parents -- while they were divorcing, for various plot reasons Fiona was the one with the actual wealth.
** She was also owner of Hare-Link for some time, though Kevin remained the actual president.

She later provided the start-up money for Hare-Link and was ''its'' owner as well, until she sold it to her father to keep it away from her mother (who'd wanted Fiona to fire Kevin and put her new stepfather Ralph in charge).

* In ''Anime/MegamanNTWarrior'', 12-year-old Enzan Ijuuin is the vice-president of the IPC hardware company.
* Watta Takeo from ''Anime/MutekiRoboTriderG7''. After his father's death in an accident, he not only inherited the presidency of his company but also the role of pilot of the SuperRobot he helped build, Trider G7- while in sixth grade. With only five employees (including himself) and a rather pathetic profit margin, it's a somewhat realistic take on the trope mixed with the SuperRobotGenre. ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsT''' would deconstruct it further by comparing into the aforementioned Senpuuji Concern in the DLC Chapter "Today Is Bonus Day!", by showing Watta suffers from some inferiority due to not having the funds to pay out his employees their bonuses.

** ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'': Akaba Reiji had to take over Leo Corporation at the age of ''13'' after his father, Leo, abandoned his family and left for the Fusion Dimension, and three years later runs it with the help of his mother (though he calls most of the shots). Unlike Kaiba, who is very satisfied to control his company, this event completely ''broke'' Reiji and Himika and did a number on their mental health.

* Downplayed in ''Literature/ModernVillainess: It's Not Easy Building a Corporate Empire Before the Crash''. Runa is a reincarnated adult in a pre-kindergartener's body when she starts her corporate conquest, but she has to bully her butler and a bank manager into acting as her "designated adults" to invest her money for her, and uses cutouts, actors with law degrees and shell companies to hide her activities.

This is precisely ''because'' a minor can't validly enter into multi-billion-yen contracts in her own name. Some members of her family also threaten to take control of her wealth because she's underage.

* Seto Kaiba in ''Anime/YuGiOh''. He won Kaiba Corp from his step-dad when he was a child, and turned it from a weapons manufacturer to the major provider of the series' central Children's Card Game.
** Sort of averted in the [[Anime/YuGiOhFirstAnimeSeries first series anime]], where the iconic "wrest control of Kaiba Corp from Gozaburo" scene takes place not during a flashback, but in the present day, where Kaiba is presumably older and of proper age to run the company.
** Sort of averted in all the incarnations really since it's stated that Kaiba won Kaiba Corp 6 years after his adoption at age 10 (or 12 for dub viewers). On-screen or off-screen, he was around 16 (or 18) when he became the CEO. Still young, but not as bad.
