History Main / TheShortGuyWithGlasses

* Narusawa Kazuma from ''{{Tantei Gakuen Q}}''.

* ''{{Voltron}}'' had Pidge (Hiroshi Suzuishi) from (''GoLion'') and Chip (Yasuo Mutsu) from ''DairuggerXV''.
** Naturally, the CutAndPasteTranslation makes the above characters brothers.

* [[DetectiveConan Conan Edogawa]]. He (as a 6-year-old) is ''very small'' for his age, even smaller than the girls. But subverted as a teen, as his glasses is only a [[ClarkKenting disguise]], and as Shinichi Kudo his height is appropriate for a teenage boy.

* Mariya from EdenNoOri.
* Daichi from ''Manga/{{Kotoura-san}}. He is, however, merely OlderThanHeLooks. Per the trope he also acts as TheSmartGuy to at least Yuriko[[spoiler:, if not the massage wand as well]].

* ''{{Murder by Numbers}}'' has the delightful Justin Pendleton. Admittedly, he only seems to need the glasses when he's reading (or when [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic he's trying to act a teeny bit more like an emo Nathan Leopold]]) but there you go. Smarter, shorter, primmer, but probably not younger -- and, of course, in possession of an Evil Plan. A shared Evil Plan, but nevertheless.

* In ''[[Film/{{TheAvengers}} The Avengers]]'', Bruce Banner is recruited for his brilliance as a nuclear physicist; he needs thick glasses to read and is the physically smallest of the main male cast. [[TheIncredibleHulk His alter ego on the other hand...]]

* Charlie Eppes on ''Numb3rs''.

* Lester from ''GrandTheftAutoV'' is not only short, balding, and wears glasses, but is crippled and walks with a cane or confines himself to a wheelchair.

* Lexington from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' in spirit, being short and green but lacking the glasses. He does have unusually large eyes, however.

* Brainiac 5 from Legion Of Superheroes. Amusingly, actually is green.

* Steve Smith of ''AmericanDad'' is almost half the size of his parents which is unusual for a 15 year old (they are frequently taller). He always has a plan when scheming with his friends about getting girls and is such regarded as the group leader. However his plans always go astray either due to bad luck or because he is hopelessly naive about it. Toshi is the only one to ever call him out on his idiocy, but of course he does it in Japanese, so no one can understand it.

* ''{{Murder by Numbers}}'', though SoBadItsGood (or horrible, take your pick) has the delightful Justin Pendleton. Admittedly, he only seems to need the glasses when he's reading (or when [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic he's trying to act a teeny bit more like an emo Nathan Leopold]]) but there you go. Smarter, shorter, primmer, but probably not younger -- and, of course, in possession of an Evil Plan. A shared Evil Plan, but nevertheless.

* Classic [[GameShow game show]] [[GameShowHost emcee]] BillCullen, of such shows as TheFifties' ''[[Series/ThePriceIsRight Price Is Right]]'', ''ToTellTheTruth'', and ''The $25,000 {{Pyramid}}''. Notable for being a real DeadpanSnarker.

* Hiro from ''[[Series/{{Heroes}} Heroes]]''.

* Reid, in flashback to his kid genius days on {{Criminal Minds}}.

* Charlie Eppes on Numb3rs
* Simon Tam on Series/{{Firefly}}
* Blair Sandburg, sometimes on Series/{{The Sentinel}}

* Lex from ''Flight29Down'', definitely.

* [[{{Discworld}} Ponder Stibbons]] is younger and smaller than most of the other wizards and is considered by most people to be "the only one who does any work in the university."

* Els Tasmin of ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', the bespectacled StudenCouncilPresident of her school and the shortest one amongst the group of veteran tourney fighters.

* Corporal Walter "Radar" O'Reilly from ''{{Mash}}''.
