A character type that most often appears in female-oriented media, best described as the human equivalent of a parakeet: small, hyperactive, and annoying yet loveable. The Keet fills the role of a little brother to the cast: he is kind, hyper, inquisitive, [[MotorMouth talkative]], and slightly younger than the main characters (though still too old to justify his behavior). He is also InTouchWithHisFeminineSide, an attribute that makes him an AudienceSurrogate for the female audience of an [[ChromosomeCasting all-male]] CastFullOfPrettyBoys.

This element is particularly prevalent in {{Yaoi}}, where the character will be an {{Uke}} paired with a [[OneHeadTaller far larger]] TallDarkAndHandsome brooding type. In other types of works, this character is less likely to be a love interest as he is an AudienceSurrogate.

See also OtakuSurrogate, which is to {{Seinen}} as this is to {{Shoujo}}.

Best described as the human equivalent of a parakeet: small, cute, colorful, hyperactive and [[CuteButCacophonic regularly loud]]. A hyperactive kid who may also be somewhat InTouchWithHisFeminineSide. The Keet is often a male surrogate for female audiences.

Pops up here and there, especially in {{shoujo|Demographic}} and shows with YaoiGenre overtones; if he is the star, he is usually paired off in some form with his [[{{Seme}} polar opposite]]. This character is born out of an enduring and surprisingly [[OneHeadTaller strict design plan]] for characters in YaoiGenre manga commonly called the ''{{uke}}''. A more manly version is the BoisterousBruiser, who is often a seme in YaoiGenre.

Often subject to a {{crossdress|er}}ing escapade.

Keets are often also {{Genki G|irl}}uys, as the cute and slightly feminine charm of a keet and the exuberant nature of a genki can go hand in hand quite well, however it's not strictly necessary for a character to be both.
