History Main / PrincelyYoungMan

** Damian Wayne is the SpoiledBrat type, but instead of being a king, he wants to be seen as the next Batman. Meanwhile, Richard "Dick" Grayson is the PrinceCharming type and [[BigBrotherMentor tries to help Damian to fix his issues]]; it looks like it's working, as Dick is one of the few persons Damian seems to respect.
** Damian's father Bruce -- he often plays a PrinceCharming and SpoiledBrat type in public but in private, he's actually an IceKing.

* James from ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' comes from an absurdly rich family and grew up with scads of tutors trying to teach him everything a rich kid should know... but as a member of Team Rocket and sort of a big idiot, Despite being a villain he's more of a PrinceCharming-type than a SpoiledBrat version of this trope.

* ''Literature/TheSunneInSplendour'': The protaganist, Richard of Gloucester, is a Plantagenet and once his older brother seizes the throne, he becomes a royal duke. As he grows up, he becomes a leader among his cohort of friends, the favorite of his brother the king and an able commander in his own right. He spends most of the story as TheFettered, taking honor and chivalry so seriously it often gets him in trouble.

** Tokiya also has elements of this being an IceKing who speaks {{keigo}} all the time, even in private.

* Gouiche from ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'' is the PrinceCharming Type.

* Ciel Phantomhive in ''Manga/BlackButler'' is an alarmingly young IceKing, although he's frequently described InUniverse as a SpoiledBrat because of his ManipulativeBastard and Jerkass tendencies.

* Mika of ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'' gets this treatment in a KnightInShiningArmor kind of way.

* All the boys in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. In particular, Tamaki fits the PrinceCharming type and Kyoya fits the IceKing type.
* ''Anime/UtaNoPrinceSama'':
** The two rich boys. Masato is the IceKing type crossed over with the Gentleman, and Ren is the PrinceCharming type, right down to SomethingAboutARose, the blond hair, and InstantFanclub.
** Tokiya also has elements of this being an IceKing who speaks {{keigo}} all the time, even in private.
* Kurama from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' is the PrinceCharming type with shades of the Gentleman type. He's not rich or nobility but he's treated that way by girls at school and has a superior air because of the knowledge that he's a high-class demon.

* Hanabusa Miyabi from ''Manga/OresamaTeacher'' is unrepentantly a Gentleman type.

* Touga in ''Anime/{{Gravion}}'' fits the composed variety, and forms an OddFriendship with the largely manners-less Eiji often driven by his quiet curiosity about the "real world".

* Yuna Roma Seiran from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'', a SpoiledBrat, proves why letting one of these gain power can be a really, really, bad idea. Luckily eventually they [[spoiler:[[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped A GOUF On Him]]]].
* ''Manga/CaseClosed'':
** Ninzaburo Shiratori is both the Gentleman type (with dashes of IceKing) and [[NonIdleRich a rather competent policeman.]] While '''not''' a bad person, he can be kind of an UpperClassTwit when at his very worse [[spoiler: though he softens up with time, and '' especially'' once [[ChildhoodFriendRomance he finds his childhood love]].]] Also his former classmate Fumimaro Ayanokouji, who actually ''is'' from RoyalBlood according to Sato, and is an excellent example of the IceKing trope.
** Since Shinichi Kudo is the son of two very famous entertainers (a former prize actress and a famous mystery novel author) and lives in a BigFancyHouse on top of being an AmateurSleuth ''and'' a LonelyRichKid, he can be said to be an IceKing type at the start. Then he gets shrunk, as Conan, he goes to live with his middle-class "not girlfriend" Ran Mouri and her PrivateDefective father Kogoro, and the story properly begins...
** And naturally, more than one of these dudes are among either victims, witnesses, and/or culprits in the series...
* Victorique's half-brother, Grevil de Blois is a PrincelyYoungMan to her {{Ojou}} in ''Literature/{{Gosick}}''.

* Nozomu Kanou of ''Manga/NurseAngelRirikaSOS'' is an example of the Gentleman type. He's the SchoolIdol and he touches all the old money bases (his loyal butler chauffeurs him to school every morning, for instance.) Everyone treats him like nobility, and he responds with cool politeness.
* [[SerialKiller Light]] [[AGodAmI Yagami]] of ''Manga/DeathNote'' is one of these, most definitely of the Ice King variety, and shows absolutely no sign of defrosting - maybe even getting ''colder''. A popular BrokenAce (though you'd never know it) and ConsummateLiar, Light uses his natural charm and charisma to literally ''get away with murder''; he's a ManipulativeBastard toward his GenkiGirl love interest, and his BlackAndWhiteInsanity and pathological narcissism are well-hidden under his attractive and empathetic exterior. To top it off, he's also a BadassInANiceSuit most of the time.
* ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'':
** Keigo Atobe is the UrExample of the PrinceCharming type.
** Since Hyoutei seems to be a school for rich kids and several players attending this school fit. Oshitari comes off as a PrinceCharming type, while Ohtori fits fairly well as a Gentleman.
* Jun Misugi and Genzo Wakabayashi from ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa'' fit in pretty well, with Misugi as the Gentleman and Wakabayashi as the IceKing. One of Misugi's [[RedBaron early epithets]] is even "The Field Prince".
** El Si Pierre is the Prince Charming type, through and through.
* Jun Kenzaki from ''Manga/RingNiKakero'' TheRival, a ChildProdigy, and this. He's an IceKing type, by the way.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** Sasuke Uchiha is one of the last members of a powerful ninja clan. He, an IceKing, is very talented, [[IceKing not outwardly emotional]], and at first considers everyone beneath him, even his teacher Kakashi.
** An arguably better example than Sasuke, was his older brother, [[AloofBigBrother Itachi Uchiha]]. Itachi was more of the Gentleman type, with a healthy mix of IceKing. At times he was even more cold and ruthless than Sasuke, but there was still kindness within him, it was just suppressed by many years of [[PastExperienceNightmare trauma and regret]].
** Later we have Boruto Uzumaki, who is BlueBlood from both of his parents, [[spoiler: Naruto and Hinata]]. He's a SpoiledBrat, is very talented, and loves to brag a lot. He abuses his status to get cheats and the latest technological advancements for his own joy. It's not surprising that he asks to be the apprentice of [[spoiler: Sasuke Uchiha and decides to follow Sasuke's path rather than his own father.]]
* Seto and Noah Kaiba of ''Anime/YuGiOh'', representing the IceKing and SpoiledBrat respectively:
** Seto Kaiba is a gaming genius who not so much ''inherited'' his abusive adoptive father's company as he did trick him into letting him buy the company out. [[HelicopterParents Meddling]] is probably the nicest possible word for Gozaburo Kaiba's parenting technique, and the emotional scarring is still very much apparent.
** Noah Kaiba was a BlueBlood variation on the SpoiledBrat archetype. He had everything handed to him on a silver platter [[spoiler: until he was hit by a car, and his father was forced to put his brain into a supercomputer to save his life...]] and his father left him to move on to greener pastures in the form of Seto. Noah was envious of Seto and sought to take back all he felt Seto had stolen from him, [[BerserkButton including Seto's little brother.]] In the end, he did redeem himself, [[spoiler: but not before nearly killing everyone in one final petty act of revenge.]]

* Ciel Phantomhive in ''Manga/BlackButler'' is an alarmingly young IceKing, although he's frequently described InUniverse as a SpoiledBrat because of his ManipulativeBastard and Jerkass tendencies.

* Daniel Grayson from the TV show ''Series/{{Revenge}}'' is a PrinceCharming type.
* Sebastian Smythe from ''Series/{{Glee}}'' is also a SpoiledBrat type. He gains command of the Dalton Academy Warblers and makes many references to his family's affluence.

* Young Bruce Wayne in ''Series/{{Gotham}}''.

* That's Larsa Ferrinas Soldior of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' on the throne in the page image. His family ''technically'' isn't royalty since Archadia has a ruling senate but he's often treated like one for his status and his princely demeanor. Players often [[DudeLooksLikeALady mistake him for a girl]], but he's pretty good in battle [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething and works to help his people]].

* [[CherryBlossomGirl Cherry Bìluó]] from ''Tale of Food'' manifested in a wealthy merchant family and was adopted into Persian royalty, as such he's a handsome, well-dressed and cultured young man with a sweet and courteous personality and even a penchant for flirting.
* ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'': Ichigo Hitofuri was an Imperial treasure, thus he's designed with clearly prince-inspired clothes and is a polite, courteous man.
