**Her [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-11310-5/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-0.html analytical]] and [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-11310-6/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-0.html decision making]] abilities were demonstrated in the opening chapter, which is how she and [[{{Megane}} Hirano]] survived the outbreak long enough for Takashi and the others to find them.
**Also, when Takashi's cellphone stopped working and [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-11325-4/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-15.html all the electronics at the Takagi Estate went dead]], she was able to deduce it'd been [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-11325-12/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-0.html the result of an EMP blast]] and surmised that the power plant [[http://www.mangareader.net/170-11325-13/high-school-of-the-dead/chapter-0.html had likely been effected as well.]]
**It isn't long before she becomes the brains of Takashi' group, with the others often deferring to her to assess the situation and devise a plan of action. In short: what she lacks in combat skill, is more than amply made up for in intellect, which has saved their lives on more than one occasion.

* Rowen Hashiba is described by Dais to be the smartest and most cunning of the ''RoninWarriors''. He probably got his smarts from his MadScientist father and is said to have a really high IQ.
* Seto Kaiba of ''Anime/YuGiOh''.
* Yoshiki Yaegashi from ''BlueSeed''.
* There are plenty of cases of smart women among the twelve [=HiMEs=] of ''MaiHiME'', but the standout is the ShrinkingViolet computer genius Yukino Kikukawa. This is more or less reinforced by the fact that both her [[EmpathicWeapon Child]] and her [[ForgottenSuperweapon Element]] are only good for detection and spying.
* [[JerkAssWoobie Zelgadis Graywords]] of the ''{{Slayers}}'' franchise is usually this alone or is also TheLancer, depending on the adaptation. In addition to being book-smart and a strategist in battle, he also knows a good deal of scientific knowledge plausible for a fantasy setting, and can solve math problems and measure distances at near-breakneck speed.
** A more straightforward smart guy is [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Xellos]]; however, he subverts this trope by being the TokenEvilTeammate that just so happens to be a part of an AlwaysChaoticEvil race of demons, so naturally, he rarely, if ever, explains anything.
* "G-4" Jinpei the Swallow from ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'' fills this role in the "smartass" variation of this trope. He's a TagAlongKid who is the most prone to clever trickster style behavior and wisecracking. He often hangs out with and plays off of TheBigGuy Ryu the Owl for his hijinks. As far as actually being the book smartest member, his [[TheChick sister Jun]] better fulfills that role.
* As a series with [[LoadsAndLoadsofCharacters lots of characters]], MahouSenseiNegima naturally has more than one. [[spoiler: The first, Ayase Yue, a TrueCompanions regular and TeenGenius, took this role during the Chao Arc, going so far as giving him the counsel needed for him to fight Chao. The second one, [[DeadpanSnarker Chisame]], also took this role after officially ([[CantStayNormal and reluctantly]]) joining Ala Alba, especially after they got separated with Yue in the Magic World, making her his [[OnlySaneMan sole voice of reason]]. [[{{Tsundere}} Unfortunately for her]], this makes him [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c264/7.html quite attached]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c264/8.html to her]]. Err, not in '''that''' way...for now...]]
** Other characters could also be considered for the role, such as [[HotScoop Asakura]], who is an expert at gathering information, and Haruna, who usually comes up with the devious plots. Other characters, such as [[TheBigGuy Chacha]][[RobotGirl maru]] and even ''[[TheHero Negi]] himself'' have gone into this role.
* Subverted in ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'', where Yuki Nagato is designated by Haruhi as The Smart Girl. The ''real'' smart guy is actually Koizumi, constantly giving advice to Kyon in any way, while Yuki is much more of TheBigGuy, being essentially the Brigades' super powerful member.
* Kurama in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' rarely fights hand-to-hand and never wins through brute strength; he always has to take his time to devise a strategy to beat his opponent. (This is Lampshaded several times and gets him in trouble more than once.)
* Krillin and Piccolo from ''Manga/DragonBall Z''. Piccolo also serves as TheLancer and TheBigGuy.
* ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'':
** After Fate replaces him as TheLancer in the second season, Yuuno was handed this role, which meant that he spent most of his time in the background doing research on the ArtifactOfDoom [[MrExposition and telling the other characters what useful information he gathered]] from the [[GreatBigLibraryOfEverything Infinite Library]]. In effect he's DemotedToExtra.
** Teana fills this role in the third season, being recruited into [[HeroesRUs Riot Force 6]] for her skills as a tactician, a role that she eventually lives up to in spades.
* In several of the ''Sonic'' continuities (bar the animated ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM SatAM]]'' and ''SonicTheComic'' series), Tails usually plays this role.
* Christopher Thorndyke plays this role in the ''SonicX'' series after his [[PlotRelevantAgeUp six year age up]] this caused a bit of conflict amongst fans, and Tails becomes more of a Captain for the crew (albeit one who is not always listened to, but he ''is'' trying to organize [[GenkiGirl Amy Rose]], Knuckles and Sonic) and a mechanic.
* Among [[Manga/AxisPowersHetalia The Allied]] [[FiveManBand Forces]], Francis Bonnefoy aka France takes up this role. He's one ''really'' atypical Smart Guy, though, often thinking with the smaller head rather than the big one. But when he ''does'' use the latter rather than the former, he can be quite the ManipulativeBastard.
* ''Manga/{{Chobits}}''' Minoru Kokubunji.
* Usopp from ''OnePiece'' fills this role for the Straw Hat Pirates. Initially, it is arguable that [[TheChick Nami]] is the smart guy and Usopp is the chick due to both of them being smart (in different areas), but with Usopp being better in battle. However by the time Enies Lobby arrives, they are both capable combatants (though among the crew, they are the least reliant on physical abilities). Despite Oda officially stating Nami to be smarter than Usopp, taking into account his higher bounty, his ability to analyze his opponents' fighting styles, and his [[CrazyPrepared uncanny ability to think five steps ahead]], Usopp is clearly a straighter SmartGuy when it comes to combat situations, though they both contribute intelligence in non-combat situations. Also, he is a GadgeteerGenius who built Nami's weapon (at her request, meaning she couldn't do it herself). When it comes to more conventional sciences, Nami has him beat, but in the world of ''OnePiece'', conventional sciences are [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum rarely applicable]].
* Quite surprisingly to all those who've known him for a short time, Gokudera from ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn''. Why surprisingly? Because the guy is the essence of a bad boy, smoking [[NoSmoking at the age of 14]], ready to beat up a teacher if his [[HoYay boss]] say so, etc., while getting 100 on his tests all the time. [[spoiler: Not to mention his C.A.I system and making up his own alphabet in class out of boredom...]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Rarely acts like one though.]]
* ''Manga/SoulEater'' has Death the Kid,a SmartGuy who's , shall we say , [[SuperOCD OBSESSED with symmetry.]]
* [[TheHero Taiboubou]] of ''HoushinEngi'' is also The Smart Guy.
* Many MagicalGirl teams have one of these.
** Ami / Sailor Mercury from ''Manga/SailorMoon'' (Rei / Sailor Mars in the manga is a secondary example.)
** Noel from ''MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''
** Fuu from ''MagicKnightRayearth''
** Kairi Sanjou from ''ShugoChara'' is a male example
** A number of characters from the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise:
*** Honoka / Cure White from the original ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' series
*** Mai / Cure Egert and later Cure Windy from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar''
*** Both Komachi / Cure Mint (noticeably) and Karen / Cure Aqua ([[PersonalityPowers explicitly]]) from ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5''
*** Reika / Cure Beauty from ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure''
** Haruna from ''Anime/CorrectorYui''
** Hazuki from ''OjamajoDoremi''
** Ink (also TheHero) from ''Moetan''
** Lettuce / Mew Lettuce from ''TokyoMewMew''
** Shizuku / Papillon Margarette from ''LingerieSoldierPapillonRose''
** Kiyomi / Venus Blue from ''Venus 5''
** Suzume / Diva Hestia from ''CyberTeamInAkihabara''
** Yuri / Angel Lily from ''Manga/WeddingPeach''
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''
** Shikamaru is certainly the series' smart guy in the sense that he has a brilliant strategic brain and improbably high IQ and a talent for utilising humiliatingly complex and cruel [[GambitIndex gambits]].
** Sakura is a straighter example for Team 7 in the early part of the series. Should couldn't fight but perfectly understood how every technique and strategy works. She was also one of the few people smart enough to answer the questions the written exam without cheating.
** In the later part of the series Kakashi transitions from being a LightningBruiser {{Mentor}} into being the SmartGuy when the others start to catch up to him in power, and the others catch up to Sakura in technical knowledge.
** Practically everybody transforms into this during a battle.
* In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', Izzy would qualify as "The Smart Guy". As well as Ken in Digimon Adventure 02. They are geniuses after all.
* Kenny from''{{Beyblade}}'' is this... Though Ray or Kai can fill the role too.. Sometimes.
* Kabuto from ''{{Psyren}}'', of the street and GenreSavvy kind. [[spoiler: He also happens to be a RealityWarper, so he's useful on the battlefield now, too]].
* From ''Manga/FairyTail'', [[TalkingAnimal Happy]] fills this role, usually as a MrExposition, though he also provides simple answers to complex questions. Sometimes he combines this with TeamPet.
** Lucy pulls double duty as TheChick and [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]] most of the time, especially once [[TagalongKid Wendy]] started integrating into their FiveManBand more often (and who also displays TheChick characteristics).
* Daichi Misawa of ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', though [[PutOnABus not for too long]]. Season 3 introduces Amon Garam, who functions as the smart guy among [[SpotLightStealingSquad the newly introduced characters]].
* Though a lot of people think he leads it, this is what Light's role is on [[spoiler:the Kira investigation taskforce]], in the second half of ''Manga/DeathNote''.
* Shin of ''SaintBeast'' is one of the physically weaker members of his FiveManBand but is always carrying around a book and is the person to go to for information on the MonsterOfTheWeek.
----
* Rowen Hashiba is described by Dais to be the smartest and most cunning of the ''RoninWarriors''. He probably got his smarts from his MadScientist father and is said to have a really high IQ.
* Seto Kaiba of ''Anime/YuGiOh''.
* Yoshiki Yaegashi from ''BlueSeed''.
* There are plenty of cases of smart women among the twelve [=HiMEs=] of ''MaiHiME'', but the standout is the ShrinkingViolet computer genius Yukino Kikukawa. This is more or less reinforced by the fact that both her [[EmpathicWeapon Child]] and her [[ForgottenSuperweapon Element]] are only good for detection and spying.
* [[JerkAssWoobie Zelgadis Graywords]] of the ''{{Slayers}}'' franchise is usually this alone or is also TheLancer, depending on the adaptation. In addition to being book-smart and a strategist in battle, he also knows a good deal of scientific knowledge plausible for a fantasy setting, and can solve math problems and measure distances at near-breakneck speed.
** A more straightforward smart guy is [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Xellos]]; however, he subverts this trope by being the TokenEvilTeammate that just so happens to be a part of an AlwaysChaoticEvil race of demons, so naturally, he rarely, if ever, explains anything.
* "G-4" Jinpei the Swallow from ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'' fills this role in the "smartass" variation of this trope. He's a TagAlongKid who is the most prone to clever trickster style behavior and wisecracking. He often hangs out with and plays off of TheBigGuy Ryu the Owl for his hijinks. As far as actually being the book smartest member, his [[TheChick sister Jun]] better fulfills that role.
* As a series with [[LoadsAndLoadsofCharacters lots of characters]], MahouSenseiNegima naturally has more than one. [[spoiler: The first, Ayase Yue, a TrueCompanions regular and TeenGenius, took this role during the Chao Arc, going so far as giving him the counsel needed for him to fight Chao. The second one, [[DeadpanSnarker Chisame]], also took this role after officially ([[CantStayNormal and reluctantly]]) joining Ala Alba, especially after they got separated with Yue in the Magic World, making her his [[OnlySaneMan sole voice of reason]]. [[{{Tsundere}} Unfortunately for her]], this makes him [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c264/7.html quite attached]] [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c264/8.html to her]]. Err, not in '''that''' way...for now...]]
** Other characters could also be considered for the role, such as [[HotScoop Asakura]], who is an expert at gathering information, and Haruna, who usually comes up with the devious plots. Other characters, such as [[TheBigGuy Chacha]][[RobotGirl maru]] and even ''[[TheHero Negi]] himself'' have gone into this role.
* Subverted in ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'', where Yuki Nagato is designated by Haruhi as The Smart Girl. The ''real'' smart guy is actually Koizumi, constantly giving advice to Kyon in any way, while Yuki is much more of TheBigGuy, being essentially the Brigades' super powerful member.
* Kurama in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' rarely fights hand-to-hand and never wins through brute strength; he always has to take his time to devise a strategy to beat his opponent. (This is Lampshaded several times and gets him in trouble more than once.)
* Krillin and Piccolo from ''Manga/DragonBall Z''. Piccolo also serves as TheLancer and TheBigGuy.
* ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'':
** After Fate replaces him as TheLancer in the second season, Yuuno was handed this role, which meant that he spent most of his time in the background doing research on the ArtifactOfDoom [[MrExposition and telling the other characters what useful information he gathered]] from the [[GreatBigLibraryOfEverything Infinite Library]]. In effect he's DemotedToExtra.
** Teana fills this role in the third season, being recruited into [[HeroesRUs Riot Force 6]] for her skills as a tactician, a role that she eventually lives up to in spades.
* In several of the ''Sonic'' continuities (bar the animated ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM SatAM]]'' and ''SonicTheComic'' series), Tails usually plays this role.
* Christopher Thorndyke plays this role in the ''SonicX'' series after his [[PlotRelevantAgeUp six year age up]] this caused a bit of conflict amongst fans, and Tails becomes more of a Captain for the crew (albeit one who is not always listened to, but he ''is'' trying to organize [[GenkiGirl Amy Rose]], Knuckles and Sonic) and a mechanic.
* Among [[Manga/AxisPowersHetalia The Allied]] [[FiveManBand Forces]], Francis Bonnefoy aka France takes up this role. He's one ''really'' atypical Smart Guy, though, often thinking with the smaller head rather than the big one. But when he ''does'' use the latter rather than the former, he can be quite the ManipulativeBastard.
* ''Manga/{{Chobits}}''' Minoru Kokubunji.
* Usopp from ''OnePiece'' fills this role for the Straw Hat Pirates. Initially, it is arguable that [[TheChick Nami]] is the smart guy and Usopp is the chick due to both of them being smart (in different areas), but with Usopp being better in battle. However by the time Enies Lobby arrives, they are both capable combatants (though among the crew, they are the least reliant on physical abilities). Despite Oda officially stating Nami to be smarter than Usopp, taking into account his higher bounty, his ability to analyze his opponents' fighting styles, and his [[CrazyPrepared uncanny ability to think five steps ahead]], Usopp is clearly a straighter SmartGuy when it comes to combat situations, though they both contribute intelligence in non-combat situations. Also, he is a GadgeteerGenius who built Nami's weapon (at her request, meaning she couldn't do it herself). When it comes to more conventional sciences, Nami has him beat, but in the world of ''OnePiece'', conventional sciences are [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum rarely applicable]].
