History Keet / AnimeAndManga

* A somewhat more mild version is Alistair Cornwell alias Stear from ''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.]]
* Lavi from ''{{D Grayman}}'' is every bit as genki as any GenkiGirl.

* Jin from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''. This is not helped by the fact that he has the same [[Creator/KappeiYamaguchi Japanese voice actor as Ryuichi Sakuma]].
** The concept itself is horribly, ''horribly'' deconstructed by [[spoiler:Kiyoshi Mitarai]], though, since he has the looks of a ''keet'' [[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...]]
* Yumoto, the shortest, youngest, most talkative, InTouchWithHisFeminineSide member of the [[Anime/BinanKoukouChikyuuBoueibuLove Defense Club]] who'll jump into a hot spring fully clothed just because a fluffy wombat appeared out of nowhere. He's prone to being called [[FanNickname "blonde shota"]] because it looks like he was designed specifically for shotacons.

* Eiji Kikumaru from ''{{Prince of Tennis}}'', 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 [[DarkSkinnedRedHead Kintarou Tooyama from Shitenhouji]] fit more into the archetype.

* Yuri in ''KyouKaraMaou''. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Most of the time]].

** The concept itself is horribly, ''horribly'' deconstructed by [[spoiler:Kiyoshi Mitarai]], though, since he has the looks of a ''keet'' [[RicaMatsumoto and the voice for it]] [[spoiler: but all it gets him is to be '''horribly''' bullied, which later mskes him lose his faith in people and join Sensui in his quest...]]

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' in Part I. Not so much in Part II, where he matures. This is lampshaded in the ''Shippuden'' anime when Naruto and Sakura do an {{Omake}} beside their younger selves, and Naruto can't believe how hyper he used to be.

* North Italy from ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' mixes this with TheDitz.

* ''GashBell'' himself.
* Shuichi in ''{{Gravitation}}'' (see above picture). [[http://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....

* Yogi from ''{{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.
* [[WholesomeCrossdresser Kuranosuke]] of ''{{Kuragehime}}'', while not as small or shrill as your average {{Keet}}, still fits the bill.

* In ''MahouSenseiNegima'', a good portion of the male student body falls under this. The final event in the previous year's Mahorafest was a game of ''tag''. Which they aren't repeating this year because there were ''too many injuries''.

* Nagisa Shiroi in ''MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''.

* Tony Tony Chopper from ''OnePiece'' to a certain extent.

* A good 25% of the cast of ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', but especially Hunny.
* Oz of ''PandoraHearts'' at times.

* Tetsunosuke in ''PeacemakerKurogane''.

* Takuto from ''StarDriver''. However, [[{{Bishounen}} his gender is]] [[CampStraight definitely in question]].

* ''{{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.
* Haru from ''{{tsuritama}}''. Cute, eccentric, and least a third of his dialogue is yelled.

* Kimihiro Watanuki in ''{{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.

* A somewhat more mild version is Alistair Cornwell alias Stear from ''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.]]

* Kanda Yuusuke from ''DevilAndHerLoveSong'' 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.

* Jin from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' This is not helped by the fact that he has the same [[Creator/KappeiYamaguchi Japanese voice actor as Ryuichi Sakuma]].

* Jin from ''Manga/{{Yu Yu Hakusho}}'' This is not helped by the fact that he has the same [[KappeiYamaguchi Japanese voice actor as Ryuichi Sakuma]].

* A somewhat more mild version is Alistair Cornwell alias Stear from 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 WorldWarOne.]]

* Feliciano/North Italy from ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' mixes this with TheDitz.

* Eiji Kikumaru from ''{{Prince of Tennis}}'', though he evolves more into a BunnyEarsLawyer as his character [[CharacterDevelopment develops]] through the series. Arguably, people like [[GeniusDitz Jiroh Akutagawa]] and Gakuto Mukahi from Hyoutei Gakuen and [[DarkSkinnedRedHead Kintarou Tooyama from Shitenhouji]] fit more into the archetype.

** The concept itself is horribly, ''horribly'' deconstructed by [[spoiler:Kiyoshi Mitarai]], though.

* Son Goku (no not that [[DragonBall Son Goku]]) from ''{{Saiyuki}}''. He's this...[[PunctuatedForEmphasis OH. SO. MUCH]]!

* Eiji Kikumaru from ''{{Prince of Tennis}}'', though he evolves more into a BunnyEarsLawyer as his character [[CharacterDevelopment develops]] through the series. Arguably, people like [[GeniusDitz Jiroh Akutagawa]] and [[BobHaircut Gakuto Mukahi]] from Hyoutei Gakuen and [[DarkSkinnedRedHead Kintarou Tooyama from Shitenhouji]] fit more into the archetype.

** Akatsuki member Tobi is also hyperactive, especially in the Anime version. [[spoiler:When he reveals himself to be Madara Uchiha, though, he drops the act]].

* Manga/{{Naruto}} in Part I. Not so much in Part II, where he matures. This is lampshaded in the ''Shippuden'' anime when Naruto and Sakura do an {{Omake}} beside their younger selves, and Naruto can't believe how hyper he used to be.
** Akatsuki member Tobi is also hyperactive, especially in the Anime version. [[spoiler:When he reveals himself to be Madara Uchiha, though, he drops the act]].
** Not to mention Rock Lee and Guy, who are so energetic it even makes Naruto pause at times.
* Yuri in ''KyouKaraMaou''. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Most of the time]].
* Shuichi in ''{{Gravitation}}'' (see above picture). [[http://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....
* [[Anime/YuGiOh Yugi]], particularly after finding friends.
** [[TheHero Judai]] of ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' started out as this.
** For ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' Leo/Lua appears to fit this role on occasion.
* A good 25% of the cast of ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', but especially Hunny.
* Nagisa Shiroi in ''MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''.
* Tetsunosuke in ''PeacemakerKurogane''.
* The aptly-named Genki in ''Anime/MonsterRancher''.

* Hanagata from ''Anime/SaberMarionetteJ'' is also a CampGay.
* Mizumachi Kengo from {{Eyeshield 21}} is 203 cm of sheer moxie.

* Eiji Kikumaru from ''{{Prince of Tennis}}'', though he evolves more into a BunnyEarsLawyer as his character [[CharacterDevelopment develops]] through the series. Arguably, people like [[GeniusDitz Jiroh Akutagawa]] and [[BobHaircut Gakuto Mukahi]] from Hyoutei Gakuen and [[DarkSkinnedRedHead Kintarou Tooyama from Shitenhouji]] fit more into the archetype.
* GashBell himself.
* Son Goku (no not that [[DragonBall Son Goku]]) from ''{{Saiyuki}}''. He's this...[[PunctuatedForEmphasis OH. SO. MUCH]]!
** Son Goku from ''{{Saiyuki}}'' is often described as this, especially by fans who have only watched the anime. In the manga, he slowly grows out of it.
* Asato Tsuzuki from ''YamiNoMatsuei'' waffles back and forth between being this and TheWoobie.
* Feliciano/North Italy from ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' mixes this with TheDitz.
** Poland too, if in a different way (more teasing and playful than cute and hyper), gratuitously mixed with CloudCuckooLander.
** While not necessarily colorful or small, Korea and America are definitely hyperactive and loud.
** And Japan [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbzlZS4zOVk&feature=related at one point]] thanks to Italy.
** How is Sealand not on this list?
* Ushijima in ''ShikabaneHime'' is another hetero example.
* Tony Tony Chopper from ''OnePiece'' to a certain extent.
** Also Luffy. Bright red/orange, prone to yelling, [[GenkiGuy way too much energy...]]
*** And he's extremely short and drawn in a sorta "cute" style with big round eyes. So he's a very straight example...

* Kimihiro Watanuki in ''{{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.
* Jin from ''Manga/{{Yu Yu Hakusho}}'' This is not helped by the fact that he has the same [[KappeiYamaguchi Japanese voice actor as Ryuichi Sakuma]].
** The concept itself is horribly, ''horribly'' deconstructed by [[spoiler:Kiyoshi Mitarai]], though.
* Yogi from ''{{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.

* Akito from ''Manga/{{Air Gear}}''.
* Micchi of ''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.
* Mizushiro Hizumi from ''{{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.

* Otani from ''LovelyComplex'' is this quite often... awww.
* Haiji from ''Manga/AiKora'' is a hyperactive, always-cheerful girly LoveFreak. Naturally, [[StupidSexyFlanders he just had to have]] [[ChivalrousPervert Maeda's]] [[{{Fetish}} ideal arse]].

* Lavi from ''{{D Grayman}}'' is every bit as genki as any GenkiGirl.
* [[{{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.
* Kanda Yuusuke from ''{{Devil And Her Love Song}}'' 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.
* Oz of ''PandoraHearts'' at times.
* [[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").

* Isaac Dian from ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' is quite the Keet. And since his partner Miria Harvent is a GenkiGirl, well . . .
** [[EvilIsFunny Ladd Russo]], [[LargeHam Graham Spector]], and [[spoiler:[[CrazyAwesome Claire Stanfield]]]] appear to be evil versions of this trope.
* [[WholesomeCrossdresser Kuranosuke]] of ''{{Kuragehime}}'', while not as small or shrill as your average {{Keet}}, still fits the bill.
* 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]].
* JJ Adams in ''{{Manga/FAKE}}'', who spends most of his on-panel time gleefully flinging himself at Dee.

* Mira from ''PapaToKissInTheDark''.
* Finnian in ''Manga/BlackButler''. Prince Soma, too.
* ''VisualNovel/UtaNoPrincesama'' heroine Haruka Nanami's singing idol Hayato is this. Or rather being keet is his image for the fans.
* Haru from ''{{tsuritama}}''. Cute, eccentric, and least a third of his dialogue is yelled.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwords'' [[Manga/TheLegendOfZelda manga]], Red Link is this, much to the annoyance of the [[HotBlooded Blue Link.]]
* Mizuki from ''Manga/KamisamaKiss.'' He's a little older than most examples here but otherwise fits the trope perfectly.
* Mikogami from ''{{Sekirei}}'' is a villainous example, and tends to react to anything exciting happening with squealing and comical expressions of joy.

* {{Naruto}} in Part I. Not so much in Part II, where he matures. This is lampshaded in the ''Shippuden'' anime when Naruto and Sakura do an {{Omake}} beside their younger selves, and Naruto can't believe how hyper he used to be.

* Haru from from ''{{tsuritama}}''. Cute, eccentric, and least a third of his dialogue is yelled.

* Jin from ''{{Yu Yu Hakusho}}'' This is not helped by the fact that he has the same [[KappeiYamaguchi Japanese voice actor as Ryuichi Sakuma]].

** He steadily starts growing out of it due to CharacterDevelopment, and then abruptly ceases to be this completely.

** He grows out of it due to CharacterDevelopment though.

*** Although, fitting the trope personality-wise is really just implied [[spoiler: until we see him again in the Soul Society]], since his story is probably one of the truly darkest in the entire series.

* Takeru Takaishi from ''DigimonAdventure''.

* Feliciano/North Italy from ''AxisPowersHetalia'' mixes this with TheDitz.
