** In the second game, Rina and Kazuha in the Yukitsuki route. Rina notably makes a lot of teasing comments but is generally supportive of the ship. As for Kazuha, she even gets Yukitsuki to feed Kyoichi after convincing her that he can't move; unlike Eri, Kyoichi is GenreSavvy enough to realize that if he told them he couldn't taste anything, Kazuha would just make Yukitsuki feed him again.

* ''VisualNovel/FragmentsNote'':
** Mikiya and Mischa to Yukiha and Eri in the latter's route. The two even set them up on a lunch date, and Mischa forces Yukiha to feed Eri, much to both parties' chagrin. When Eri complains that she couldn't even taste anything because she was feeling so embarrassed, Mischa quickly tells Yukiha to give her another taste.
** In the second game, Rina and Kazuha in the Yukitsuki route. Rina notably makes a lot of teasing comments but is generally supportive of the ship. As for Kazuha, she even gets Yukitsuki to feed Kyoichi after convincing her that he can't move; unlike Eri, Kyoichi is GenreSavvy enough to realize that if he told them he couldn't taste anything, Kazuha would just make Yukitsuki feed him again.

* ''[[VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}} Sunrider Academy]]'''s swim team ship their captain with Kayto, going so far as to hold up these signs at the national championships:

to:

* ''[[VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}} ''VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}}'':
** Flashbacks in ''Sunrider Mask of Arcadius'' show that Kayto’s younger sister Maray shipped him with his childhood friend Ava. When she saw the two of them sneaking into Ava’s apartment to have their first time, she was thrilled and covered for Kayto when their mother asked if he was home yet.
** During the BeachEpisode of the same game, Icari and Claude go out of their way to get the shy Chigara to admit her feelings for Kayto, even going so far as to get [[NumberTwo Ava]] blind stinking drunk so she can’t interfere. This is rather odd on Claude’s part, considering her own [[LovableSexManiac blatant lust for Kayto]]. [[spoiler:The end of ''Sunrider Liberation Day'' puts a sinister spin on this: Chigara is a [[ArtificialHuman Prototype]] [[ManchurianAgent spy]] [[HoneyTrap sent to seduce Kayto]], and Claude—who is working with the Prototypes—is pushing the two of them together to ensure that it happens.]]
