Ununnilium: Naruto? Really? IMHO, he's not genki and chirpy enough for this; he's more like a Calvin-type ten-year-old.
Solandra: I agree. Maybe a rule of thumb that can be adopted here is that if you can't easily imagine the character in the role of the Clingy Jealous Girl or at least the Motormouth, he likely doesn't belong here. Removed.
Ack Sed: Then again,if you take the filler episodes into account,he becomes a borderline case.
Tanto: Naruto was deleted for a reason. Removed, again.
Fanti Sci: Does Yuri really belong here? He's pretty level-headed, despite being idealistic, and he's not particularly "bouncy". Gunter fits this trope more accurately IMHO.
Tanto: Once more, Naruto is not an example.
mishydishy: is Mitarai Kiyoshi REALLY an example? His personality is NOTHING like a keet. At all.
Deepshock: I'm not sure, and I could be off by a mile, but... El Fuerte? He's yappy, he's loud, he's high pitched, he's excitable, he's excessively hyper, and he's bouncy as hell. Or is he another Naruto case?
Ulti S.: This isn't a deconstruction, is a completely different trope.
- Mitarai Kiyoshi/Seaman from Yu Yu Hakusho is a rare deconstruction of this trope. In the beginning, he's very angsty because he gets bullied in school a lot, possibly because of his feminine looks. He also has the power to make monsters he controls by letting a few drops of his blood into some water. He saw the Chapter Black tape, and went mad with revenge against humanity. However, after Kuwabara helped him after he was injured by one of his own monsters, or rather, Kuwabara's slicing of said monster, he did a MookâFace Turn. Also could be considered The Woobie.
Synaesthetic: Isaac from Baccano doesn't fit. He's not cute or small; he's more of a Hot-Blooded, Large Ham Cloudcuckoolander.
How about Kyuu from Tantei Gakuen Q (the anime)? He is small, silly and loud, and Ryuu finds him cute. When I saw the anime, I instantly thought him as a male Genki girl.
Kris Mahai: Removed Naruto, because as mentioned earlier, he's not an example.
