History Main / Seme

* Tetsuo from ''Manga/{{Yuureitou}}'' is a [[{{transsexual}} trans man]] but plays this to his friend [[spoiler:and eventual boyfriend]] Taichi. He's handsome, well-dressed, and reserved GuileHero while Taichi is {{adorkable}}, is DisguisedInDrag for a chunk of the series, and is a DistressedDude. Tetsuo also has heavy BrokenAce elements and has a buttload of problems, though Taichi becoming his OnlyFriend helps. Taichi being seme material is lampshaded when Taichi imagines them having sex, with Tetsuo on top and Taichi crossdressing and on the bottom.

* {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s will often take note that Sasuke has this appearance compared to ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', although they both are equally strong and tough. This is milked more often in fanfics of the two together.
** Same with Gary/Ash in the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' fandom, and Dawn/Zoey on the [[YuriFan yuri]] side.

* Obviously, ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' could not go without referencing this - in the episode where Renge first appears and messes with the hosts' roles, the twins briefly debate her "casting". In the manga, Haruhi reads from Renge's script that although Hikaru seems to be in charge, Kaoru is more mature, and thus is the real seme. She doesn't get it, of course, but Honey seems to find it entertaining.
** Although the twins obviously can't fulfill the usual {{One Head Taller}} requirement.

* Germany when paired with Italy though Germany can sometimes play the Uke in ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''.
** To clarify: Germany is the taller and stronger one, but he is also younger than Italy and pretty much clueless when it comes to romance. The same also goes for America when paired with England, though England is often portrayed as a Seme as well, especially if he's a Pirate, Knight, Punk, or Police.

* Touya Kinomoto of ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' and ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' fame is the Seme to Yukito in most fanworks.

** On the topic of GirlsLove, an example in the {{Hentai}} ''Gintai Saimin'' is Natsuko being a ''literal'' example of the Seme in a lesbian relationship, to Hitomi's {{Uke}}.

* Craig Tucker in almost every Series/SouthPark fanfiction. Especially in ''FanFic/{{I came a long way to see you}}''
** Stories that pair Stan and Craig when they aren't explicitly rivals (and some where they are) tend to make one of them an {{Uke}} through {{Wimpification}} due to the fandom usually having them both as {{Seme}}'s. A few good authors occasionally balance the pairing out, but a lot of them don't.

* Usami Akihiko from ''JunjouRomantica''.

In yuri, or GirlsLove, an OneeSama who is openly attracted to someone can also take this role. Ironically, a female character who acts or looks openly masculine is actually ''less'' likely to be the seme, since this is usually equated with tomboys and immaturity. The OneeSama is likely to be more aggressive and mature, leaning towards TheVamp or FemmeFatale in appearance.

** Morinaga of ''TheTyrantFallsInLove'' is not only the younger and cuter partner, but a good-natured, long-suffering romantic who's put up with Souichi's temper and homophobia for years in the hope of having his feelings reciprocated someday. In fact, he would probably be the uke if Souichi wasn't so deeply in denial that Morinaga has to make almost all of the emotional and sexual advances.

[[quoteright:228:[[FinderSeries http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yamane_asafei.jpg]]]]

* Both Asami and Feilong in the ''FinderSeries''. (Page picture.) Feilong is somewhat feminine-looking (being a LongHairedPrettyBoy), but he's 100% seme to Akihito. (There's hints he'd like to be uke to Asami, though.)

* In ''{{Genshiken}}'', Ogiue writes and draws [[BoysLove yaoi]] {{doujinshi}} about her fellow club members, casting Madarame as the passive {{uke}} and Sasahara as the aggressive {{seme}}. [[spoiler:Though she is mortified when Sasahara finds out, he accepts it as a work of art, not a projection on him.]]

* ''BokuNoSexualHarassment'': Honma and most of the clients Mochizuki is serviced to.
* Kanou from ''OkaneGaNai''.

* Summer Roberts from TheOC is officially the seme to her boyfriend Seth Cohen's {{Uke}}. Yes, you heard me right; a female het example of this trope ''does indeed'' exist.

* [[DistaffCounterpart Lesbian verion]] in ''Film/BlueIsTheWarmestColour'', where Emma is the dominant partner in the relationship and is apparent that she owns the house they live in. She is also the top in their sexual encounters.

** To clarify: Germany is the taller and stronger one, but he is also younger than Italy and pretty much clueless when it comes to romance. The same also goes for America when paired with England, though England is often portrayed as a Seme as well, especially if he's a Pirate, Knight, Punk or Police.

** In ''SeikimatsuDarling'' none of the men can decide which one should be the {{seme}}. Since their love is too "similar" they resolve to compete to see who gets to be the top. By the end of the {{OVA}} they are still unsure of how to solve the situation but seem willing to be the {{uke}} as long as [[IfItsYouItsOkay they can be together]].

** And [[BirthBySleep Terra with Ven]].

* Germany when paired with Italy though Germany can sometimes play the Uke in ''AxisPowersHetalia''.

* Played with to an extent in ''{{Loveless}}'' because Soubi is both taller and older than Ritsuka, but Ritsuka is the more serious of the two, requiring Soubi to "open his heart to love" despite most people identifying him as the uke.

* Craig Tucker in almost every South park fanfiction. Especially in ''FanFic/{{I came a long way to see you}}''
** Stories that pair Stan and Craig when they aren't explicitly rivals (and some where they are) tend to make one of them an {{Uke}} through {{Wimpification}} due to the fandom usually having them both as {{Seme}}'s. A few good author's manage to balance the pairing out but a lot of Stan/Craig stories tend to be like that.

* ''FanFic/{{Those Lacking Spines}}'' has the Semes of the Organization members possessing the... you know of the Ukes of them. When a Seme combines with an Uke, the members go back to becoming their own selves. Hunting down the Semes and getting the... you know of them and returning them to th Ukes of Organization XIII makes up most of the plot to the story.

** To clarify: Germany is the taller and stronger one, but he is also younger than Italy and pretty much clueless when it comes to romance. The same also goes for America when paired with England.

-->-- '''[[DesuDesBrigade Vixen]]'''

* "[[http://songue.deviantart.com/art/Motivation-Eternal-Struggle-263397514 The Eternal Struggle]]"--an ongoing debate whether [[Manga/DeathNote Light or L]] would be the Seme.

* Touya Kinomoto of ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' and ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' fame is the Seme to Yukito.

* [[TheAce Usui]] from ''KaichouWaMaidSama'' is a classic het {{shoujo}} example, paired with {{tomboy}}ish {{tsundere}} Misaki. Demonstrated traits include [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]], [[ButNotTooForeign just a dash]] of [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench foreign blood]] ([[PhenotypeStereotype complete with blond hair]]) and ability to play his {{uke}} of choice like a violin ([[MartyStu which he's also talented at, incidentally]]). Not to mention general {{bishounen}} looks, of course.

* In ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' there's Akio. Also Utena normally plays this role to Anthy but in the movie Anthy is the more sexually aggressive one.

** Stories that pair Stan and Craig when they aren't explicitly rivals (and some where they are) tend to make one of them an {{Uke}} through {{Wimpification}} due to the fandom usually having them both as {{Seme}}'s to make it easier to manage.

** Stories that pair Stan and Craig when they aren't explicitly rivals (and some that are where they are) tend to make one of them an [[Uke] through [[Wimpification]] due to the fandom usually having them both as [[Seme]] since it is easier to manage.
