Genki Girl / Anime & Manga

Genki Girls in Anime & Manga.

---

• The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Aashii tries to be this, but she's too slow and relaxed for it to work.
• Kabae from Aggretsuko is a hyper-active hippopotamus who is full of energy and is also completely oblivious to how much she annoys Retsuko.
• A Little Snow Fairy Sugar: The titular character, much to Saga's initial annoyance. Saga's cousin Kanon would also qualify.
• Ai no Shintairiku: Nikotama Sara acts like this to come off as cute.
• Aim for the Ace!: Hiromi is a gregarious and cheerful schoolgirl, an early version of the trope.
• Alice in Sexland: Bunny pours energy and passion into everything she does, though she's pretty chaste compared to everyone else in the series - she doesn't have a single sex scene (or, for that matter, even take her clothes off) until the second half of the series (Alice in Sexland Extreme).
• Angel Beats!: Yui tends to run around, gesticulate rapidly or randomly leap at Hinata, and she doesn't as much talk as yell loudly and rapidly. Justified in that in life, she was a bedridden quadriplegic, so now that in the afterlife she has functional limbs, she's damn well going to use them.
• The main character of Anne Happy, Ann, is always upbeat and full of energy. She remain optimistic at all times and rarely lose her good mood despite how unlucky she is.
• Mira in Asteroid in Love has endless enthusiasm for just about everything. Despite initially joining the Earth Sciences Club (formed from the merger of Astronomy and Geology clubs) as an astronomy enthusiast, she becomes just as excited as Mikage about rocks and fossils, too.
• Azumanga Daioh: Self-described "wildcat high school girl" Tomo (pictured on the main page). We know she's a Genki Girl because "Genki!" is the first thing she says.
  • Yukari-sensei is what happens when the Genki Girl grows up. Or doesn't.
• Baccano!: Miria Harvent, who comes with an equally-hyperactive boyfriend and partner in crime, Isaac Dian. They seem to have an amplifying effect on each other (at least, their seiyuu do). Since they're inseparable for their entire screen time, it's impossible to tell how genki they are individually.
• Beach Stars: Iruka◊, the main heroine, is a ball of energy in constant motion.
• Bleach:
  • Even as an adult, Nelliel had her moments of hyperactivity, particularly when she mood-swung from calm and melancholic after blowing up Nnoitra, to ecstatic and girly before glomp-humping Ichigo.
  • Chizuru is very, very excitable when around Orihime. Tatsuki does her best to keep her in line but there's only so much she can do.
  • Masaki in the past. She is naturally cheery, outgoing and rather energetic, but will also use that attitude to hide her troubles, such as her despair over knowing she's being groomed to marry Ryuuken.
  • Yachiru Kusajishi is Kenpachi's very own pink puffball of genkiness.
• Blood+: Lulu is usually upbeat and enthusiastic, even after she becomes the last survivor of the Schiff.
• Buso Renkin: While it is Downplayed, particularly in the second half of the series, Mahiro Muto is noted in-universe as being a female version of her Stock Shōnen Hero big brother Kazuki, being a hyperactive scatterbrain who repeatedly glomps her brother's love interest Tokiko.
• Candy☆Boy: Sakuya. Particularly with respect to her pursuit of Kanade.
• Can't Defy the Lonely Girl:
  • Honami is very energetic which goes along with her status as a social butterfly.
  • Wakana Morinaga is shown to also be very hyper the moment she enters the classroom.
• Cardcaptor Sakura:
  • One of Sakura Kinomoto's most notable traits is her cheerfulness which both her and almost everyone else who knows her acknowledges. Although she matures over the course of the series, she remains overwhelmingly affectionate and cheery.
  • Nakuru Akizuki frequently likes to glomp on Touya and often treats Spinel like her beloved pet, though she is also a Manipulative Bitch and a technically-genderless spirit being rather than a human girl, though she more or less refers to herself as a girl.
  • Meiling also applies in the anime adaptation.
• A Certain Magical Index: Last Order, a.k.a. MISAKA #20001, originally started as an Emotionless Girl like her fellow Misaka clones, but when the scientists in charge of Project Radio Noise uploaded a personality program into the Misaka Network, Last Order (the network admin) intercepted the program for herself, hence the genkiness, unlike her Radio Noise clones, Misaka Worst, or Misaka Mikoto.
• Chi's Sweet Home: Chi, the energetic kitten.
• Chrono Crusade:
  • Rosette is what happens when you give a Genki Girl a loaded weapon. It's probably a good idea to run.
  • On the villains' side is Shader, a catgirl demon. In the manga, she has her serious moments, but in the anime, she's 100% Perky Female Minion.
• Code Geass:
  • Kaguya Sumeragi is like this, as well as the Ojou. She also proves herself to be smarter than you'd guess, becoming the head chairman of the UFN council.
  • Milly Ashford is another great example, except she is also the Student Council President at the head of an Absurdly Powerful Student Council who is only too happy to find the smallest excuse to start a School Festival. And when that happens, run.
  • Anya Alstreim also becomes one of these after Marianne takes over her body.
• Koyume of Comic Girls. She's the most energetic of the ensemble cast, and her editor's main concern is she's too difficult to restrain.
• Cowboy Bebop: Radical Edward, aka "Ed", aka "Françoise Appledelhi", aka "Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivruski IV", has so much high energy. Nothing (from the few things that ever get close enough to do some damage) gets her down.
• Tade from Delicious in Dungeon never lets up her perky persona even if it's in the middle of a battle.
• Doctor Slump: Arale Norimaki, with a dose of Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids, Cute Bruiser, and definitely Cloudcuckoolander. She's as energetic as she is powerful.
• Elemental Gelade: Cisqua when near money.
• Endride: Shun is so energetic he manages to get excited about doing laundry simply because it's doing laundry for the revolution! Emilio criticizes him over his unflappable enthusiasm, but as Shun points out, if the alternative is to be total sourpuss like Emilio, he'd like to stay enthusiastic.
• Ergo Proxy: Pino, who is really more like a Genki Robot that looks like a girl.
• Excel♡Saga. Excel takes "Genki" to previously unseen heights, being extremely energetic, excitable, and very, ''very'' loud. Even modern Genki Girls are tame compared to her.
  Il Palazzo: Ahh, Excel. Wastefully cheerful as always, I see.
• FLCL: Haruhara Haruko calms down for maybe thirty seconds an episode, and sometimes not even that much.
• Flip Flappers: Papika reacts to just about everything with gleeful enthusiasm, and is almost constantly at 110% hyperactiveness. She acts as both a Manic Pixie Dream Girl and an overly-impulsive nuisance to Cocona, her more levelheaded partner.
• Freezing: Lana Linchen. Very bright, energetic, talkative, and smiley. Chiffon Fairchild also applies for her freshman year. Roxanne Elipton and Windy May also qualify given their energetic personalities.
• Fullmetal Alchemist: Winry Rockbell. She goes full-on Bishie Sparkle, Squee, and arm-wavy mode whenever she sees something cute or acting cute (Elysia Hughes weeded this mode out of her the first few minutes after she met her), something's caught her interest (mainly anything involving automail — e.g., Rush Valley or a shopping spree in Central), or a rather vicious (and comic) argument with Ed (again, mainly over automail). The times that she's not in genki mode are when she's realized something tragic or an error in her construction (e.g., learning about Maes's death or discovering the missing screw in Ed's newly-constructed automail arm after he left to go investigate Laboratory #5), or when she's concentrating on building a new automail body part.
• Future GPX Cyber Formula: Asuka is rather cheerful and lively, especially when she cheers Hayato on. However, her genki-ness has been toned down in the OVAs when the dangers of racing becomes more apparent.
• Gals!: Ran Kotobuki. She runs everywhere and shouts all the time.
• Galaxy Angel Rune: Nano-Nano Pudding is an energetic and cheerful girl who happens to be made of nanomachines and has a cat tail.
• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: The Tachikomas are Genki Tanks. This actually becomes a plot point in the first season, as having a combat vehicles behave like this is fairly alarming to the human characters.
• Gourmet Girl Graffiti: Kirin is very upbeat at every moment. Shiina compares looking at her to watching the circus in Chapter 24.
• Happy Happy Clover: Clover/Chima◊ is very optimistic and very hyperactive. It's shown mostly in earlier stories of the manga and in episodes of the anime. However, there are times◊ when she would get serious during certain situations◊.
• Haruhi Suzumiya:
  • The title character is an avalanche of Genki Girlness who drags everyone nearby along with her. This is expressly stated in the audio drama's main song "First Goodbye", which is, in-canon, written by Haruhi herself (and just as autobiographical as "Lost My Music") with the line "Igai to genki!"
  • Tsuruya-san, a minor character, is something of a Motor Mouth and a cheerful Genki Girl, emphasis on the "cheerful." She's a natural co-conspirator with Haruhi when Haruhi isn't working with Little Sister.
  • In the 9th/10th novel, Yasumi absolutely qualifies. No surprise, considering her true identity: Haruhi's subconsciousness.
• Hello! Sandybell: Sandybell Christie is a Plucky Girl who doesn't let anyone bring her spirits down, and is prone to getting herself in chaotic situations. This trope is exemplified the most in an early episode where Sandybell and Maggie are playing on swings. Maggie is scared and cover her eyes while Sandybell keeps laughing as she goes higher and higher.
• Hetalia: Axis Powers: Seychelles and Taiwan. The former has some elements of The Ditz and openly admits to prank-calling her former boss England; the latter is a Motor Mouth and the Energetic Younger Sibling to the rest of the Asian countries. Both seem to highlight this element in their character songs, with Seychelles humming her song while the music isn't even playing and Taiwan singing about making problems go "poof."
• Hidamari Sketch: Miyako. While she's prone to sleep in class and can sometimes sleep for 12 hours in one go, once she is awake, she's quite energetic. One episode shows her coming into Yuno's apartment, showing no signs of having awakened two minutes ago; another has Yuno pointing out that she's hyper even in the morning. "That was quick!" is a common phrase applied to her actions, whether she's gobbling down food or making art (usually impromptu). But despite all her teasing, she's a likable person, a good friend...and, surprisingly, does well in school!
• High School Debut: Haruna is so genki she's almost a Badass Normal. One of her recurring sentences is "let's work hard!"—cue high-fiving everyone, running around doing more physical work than the guys, and tiring everyone out. Oh, yeah—and she can put up a physical fight with guys, including potential assaulters. Her over-the-top genki-ness is arguably part of what makes her such an endearing character.
• Hyakko: Torako. She's of the Genki-Ditz blend, considering she makes her debut by leaping out of a window. It's a second story window, but she definitely chooses the quickest way to get from point A to point B.
• Hyouka: An interesting example in Chitanda Eru, who is so vivacious and bubbly that Oreki often perceives her as having an inner glow.
• If a Demon Lord Were to Get Married in the Countryside: The titular character Nonoa is extremely loud and hyperactive, who is often prone into causing trouble.
• The titular character of Isabelle of Paris Used to Be a Tomboy and would constantly play pranks, get her dresses dirty and act like a complete brat. When Jean suggested they get married, she hit him on the head with an apple. Even as a fifteen year old, she's not above having swordfights and scrapping.
• Is the Order a Rabbit?:
  • Cocoa, who often gets excited over the most seemingly trivial things, such as latte art and ordering three cups of coffee just to get an excuse to hug Tippy.
  • Sharo turns into one whenever she drinks coffee.
• K-On!: Ritsu essentially holds the club together with her enthusiasm.
• Kaleido Star: Sora is amazingly energetic. Emphasis on amazingly. Her friends Rosetta Passel and Marion Begnini try to keep up with her, but they still have a way to go.
• Laura, the Prairie Girl: Laura loves living in Wisconsin and being a Farmer's Daughter, and is often tailed by Jack the family dog wherever she goes as they share a mutual vigour for the world. She loves running, playing, working and jumping, and she's never saddened or put down in the face of tragedy.
• Kanon: Ayu, contrasting with Nayuki, Makoto, Shiori, and Mai.
• Kill la Kill: Mako Mankanshoku is one of the genkiest girls in anime and is the perfect foil to resident angry Hot-Blooded badass Ryuko Matoi. Whenever Mako opens her mouth, you can be sure that she will say something either crazy, hilarious or both sooner or later.
• Kimi ni Todoke: Chizu is hyperactive to the point where she involuntarily knocks people down in the school corridors and gets irritated comments from other characters on a regular basis.
• Kodocha: Sana Kurata is the quintessential example of a Genki Girl, particularly her portrayal in the anime (which has a much more zany and hyperactive sense of humor than the original manga). She's overly energetic, rarely sits still, often flails her arms around, and speaks a mile a minute. Sana can best be described as the living embodiment of a sugar rush. The Fan Vid "Caffeine Ecomium" gives some inkling of just how energetic she is.
• Lady!!: Lynn Russell is always positive and cheery, and when she shows up the Marble Mansion she's overjoyed to meet her new sister, Sarah, and proposes they have breakfast together. Sarah, on the other hand...
• Laid-Back Camp: Nadeshiko Kagamihara is the most cheerful member of the Outdoors Club. She's consistently full of energy, often seen running around with Airplane Arms.
• Lamune: Hikari. It's noted by the male lead (her cousin) that she acts much like a kid, despite being a year older than him.
• Love Hina: Kaolla Suu. When she latches onto Keitaro in the second volume of the manga, the other girls note that Motoko's the only one with the stamina to keep up with her for very long.
• Lucky Star:
  • You could consider Akira Kogami to fit this trope, but you aren't seeing her true personality.
  • Yui would also count. Minami muses that innocent little Yutaka will take on her personality as time goes on, upon meeting her for the first time.
• Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow: Lucy-May and Kate Popple are both full of energy and love animals. Being raised on a farm in Australia, they're exposed to all sorts of furry friends, and Kate often ropes Lucy-May into playing pranks with her.
• Lyrical Nanoha:
  • Nanoha herself when she's younger. "ATTACK WITH MAXIMUM POWER!!!" Some events and age makes her Older and Wiser, though still very cheery and perky with occasional moments of "genki" (such as when meeting Einhart after hearing so much about her from Vivio).
  • And then we have Subaru (a die-hard fan of Nanoha herself) is part this, part Boisterous Bruiser. At least until someone hurts her sister...
  • And Wendi, who is easily the most energetic of the Numbers (and takes Subaru's place as the most energetic member of the Nakajima family when she's adopted). It probably has something to do with the fact that she was mentored by Sein.
  • Lutecia Alpine in ViVid. Yes, really, THAT Emotionless Dark Magical Girl Lutecia from StrikerS. And she is Large Ham now, to boot.
  • Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT: Alicia Testarossa is shown to be very enthusiastic and energetic about nearly everything, in sharp contrast to her calmer sister Fate.
• Magic Knight Rayearth: To a lesser degree, Hikaru Shidou. She's incredibly friendly, energetic, and upbeat. It's even more so in the anime, where she has some No Indoor Voice moments.
• March Comes in Like a Lion: Hinata Kawamoto is described as one in Rei's narration, in contrast to her behavior around Takahashi, pointing out her "lively" mood swings. Before the story focuses on her with her own story arc, she's portrayed as a downplayed example of the trope; Hina's easily one of the most excitable members of the cast, but given the general tone of the work, she's still grounded by reality most of the time.
• Minami-ke: Kana, a ditzy version, steals the show from her Little Miss Snarker and Onee-sama sisters.
• Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Mileina Vashti. Louise Halevy used to be one, but later she's not so genki anymore. And Nena Trinity looked like a Genki Girl, but was actually Cute and Psycho, with heaps of THAT INGRATING VOICE!!!
• Technically, Kashima in Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun looks and seems more like a keet, except of course for the fact she's actually female. She's very cheery for the most part, and has all that energy she uses to run both towards and away from Hori-senpai.
• My Hero Academia:
  • Mina Ashido, who is easily one of the most excitable and upbeat members of Class 1-A, and she has serious competition. It's usually her idea for fun activities for the class to do when they aren't busy with training or studying.
  • Toru Hagakure is very enthusiastic about everything too, though it makes you wonder if she's like this because she's literally invisible — it's the only way she can stand out.
  • Ochaco Uraraka is pretty cheery and passionate most of the time as well. In fact, Word of God states he deliberately invoked this trope when designing her to contrast with the pessimistic and shy Midoriya.
• My-HiME: Mikoto subverts this trope nicely by simultaneously being a Dark Magical Girl. (Push this type of subversion even further, and you wind up with the Perky Goth.)
• My Lovely Ghost Kana: The titular Cute Ghost Girl is a strange example. In the back story, she gruesomely took her own life, stabbing herself in the chest many times, and her ghost remained behind, trapped in the apartment building where she died. By the time the real story begins many years later, Kana has forgotten most details of her life, including why she decided to end it. When Unlucky Everydude Daikichi (unable to afford to live anywhere better) moves into the allegedly haunted building, he has a hard time accepting that this cheerful, energetic girl (overjoyed at finally having some company) is actually a ghost.
• My Neighbor Totoro: Both of the girls, but especially Mei. Justified in that they're a couple of kids excited about a new house and giant, friendly nature-gods.
• Nana: Hachi is called a puppy by her roommate for her energy and desire to please.
• Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Several characters count; Makie is the most notable example. The entirety of Mahora Academy is described as such, even the boys, by the teachers themselves. It was stated that during a previous School Festival, they arranged an academy-wide game of tag, and afterwards decided not to do that again because there were too many injuries. That year, they were going for a (slightly) more sedate game of Hide-N-Seek, until the Big Bad of that arc provided an army of robots, and they decided to unleash the students on them instead.
• Neon Genesis Evangelion: In a number of Lighter and Softer adaptations, Rei, of all people, gets this treatment.
  • The first Girlfriend of Steel Gaiden Game keeps her in character. The set-in-episode-26's-alternate-universe sequel, however, plays this trope straight.
  • She gets the same treatment in the alternate universe manga Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days (also based on episode 26's AU).
  • Asuka Langley Soryuu and Misato Katsuragi qualify. Their counterparts in the Rebuild movies are a little more serious.
• Nichijou: Yuuko is certainly genki, though she also plays it up sometimes to hide embarrassment.
• Niea_7: Niea arguably qualifies, even though she mixes her energetic nature with being a total jerkass.
• Ojamajo Doremi:
  • Doremi is usually perky and full of energy.
  • Momoko is initially introduced as a shy new student, but as the series went on she's flanderized into a hyper Funny Foreigner and becomes just as goofy as Doremi.
  • Hana-chan is very hyperactive and spends most of her time being happy-go-lucky. She has been compared to other genki girls, including Pinkie Pie.
• Oresuki: Himawari is always cheerful and full of energy, fitting of her nickname, which means "Sunflower".
• Persia, the Magic Fairy: One of the reasons Persia clashes with Japanese society is because in Africa, she was brought up to be as loud and wild as she pleased, and is a raw mass of energy.
• The Pet Girl of Sakurasou: Misaki. It helps that she looks a lot like Minori Kushieda with brown hair.
• Poison Berry in My Brain: Ichiko's impulsive side is represented by Hatoko, an excitable young girl with a fondness for sweets and a tendency to mood swings.
• Pollyanna: Before her father died, he told Pollyanna that she must always find happiness in everything, because the Bible mentions happiness around 800 times. As a result, Pollyanna strove to honour his words by playing The Glad Game, a game where she finds the good in everything no matter how bleak. She's also a Tomboy and loves to play with Jimmy.
• Pokémon: The Series:
  • A bunch, human and Pokémon alike, though Pokémon the Series: Black & White character Iris takes it even further (she's this way in the games, too).
  • Elesa was made into a Genki Girl for the anime... which is ironic, considering she's The Stoic in the games.
  • Bianca is the best example out of these. She’s so energetic to the point that poor Ash is made out to be the Butt-Monkey for her Crash-Into Hello gag.
  • From the manga, Pokémon Adventures, we have Schilly, the female protagonist for the Sword and Shield chapter. She already:
    • Debuted wearing a ball guy hat.
    • Chased Marvin wearing said hat, freaking him out.
    • Loves to talk about her tech very excitedly.
    • Cheered for Marnie even though she was her rival.
    • Dragged Hop around to find her Pokemon
    • And the list can go on from that.
• Pretty Cure has at least one per season, and she's traditionally the group's leader:
  • Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash★Star: Saki Hyuuga. While her predecessor, Nagisa Misumi, was a Deadpan Snarker and at worst, a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Saki is instead a little ball of energy who loves the world around her.
  • Yes! Pretty Cure 5: Nozomi Yumehara. With each "Kettei~!", you know she's going to drag the team into some goodhearted but implausible plan, and somehow, her pure energy makes it work.
  • Fresh Pretty Cure!: Love Momozono, ready to pull anyone along with her plans at the drop of a hat.
  • HeartCatch Pretty Cure!: Erika Kurumi is so full of energy and pep that she exasperates other people easily.
  • Smile PreCure!: Miyuki Hoshizora, a fantasy lover with more than enough energy to go around.
  • Go! Princess Pretty Cure: Haruka Haruno, in contrast to the other Cures being more elegant, is hyped about being a princess and always rushes headfirst into trying new things.
  • KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode: Ichika Usami is introduced bounding through her new city like a rabbit.
  • HuGtto! Pretty Cure: Hana Nono. She gained the title of "the Pretty Cure of Genki" as Cure Yell.
  • Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure: Hikaru Hoshina, much to the annoyance of the wiser Lala and her strict grandfather Harukichi.
  • Healin' Good♡Pretty Cure: Unlike her calmer teammates, Hinata Hiramitsu is very excitable and known for her cat smile.
  • Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure: Manatsu Natsuumi is extremely enthusiastic and energetic, and her goal in life is to motivate everyone to achieve their dreams. She has so much energy that she could put all the other excitable lead Cures to shame.
  • Hirogaru Sky! Pretty Cure: Despite being the oldest, Ageha Hijiri is the most excitable and energetic of her team, and is known for giving them The Glomp at any time.
• Pretty Sammy: Pixy Misa and Washu.
• The Prince of Tennis: Tomoka, Kurumi, and, to some extent, An (if you don't piss her off).
• Princess Tutu: Ahiru—who is a duck that can magically turn into a girl—spends most of the show running at top speed, squawking out words so fast it's hard to keep up. She's not even aware that her energy level is unusually high, judging by her confused reaction when another girl from her school fails to keep up with her. This may be because her friends Pique and Lilie are about as energetic as she is, or it may be because she's a duck and doesn't know any better.
• Puni Puni☆Poemi: Excel♡Saga's director also gave us Poemi. Impossible as it may sound, at times she surpasses even Excel in genki-ness. She is hyperactive beyond comparison and never, ''ever'', '''EVER''' quiet when she speaks. And this time, Poemy's dub actress strained her voice on the first day of recording.
• The titular character of Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea is loud, cheerful and energetic.
• The Quintessential Quintuplets:
  • Yotsuba Nakano, the fourth quintuplet is always cheery and lively. Given that she's the less academically gifted, but also the most athletic among her sisters, she tends to channel her energy into sports. However, later chapters reveal that she carries a lot of emotional baggage and pain, and she's not always as happy as she seems.
  • Raiha Uesugi, Fuutarou's imouto, is described by Fuutarou in Episode 6 as "always cheerful".
• Ranma ½: Shampoo. Out of all of Ranma's fiancées, she is the most active and energetic.
• Remy: Nobody's Girl: Remy Barberin (actually, Remy Mullington) is always upbeat and a ball of energy. She leads her little sister Nana around the village and they play with animals tigether. When she's kicked out of her family home for being adopted, she retains this as she's sent to live at the Orphanage of Fear owned by Gaspard.
• Robotics;Notes: Akiho is an extremely enthusiastic robotics prodigy who wants to build a fully-functional life-size mecha based on the one from her favorite anime. Her boundless ambition and enthusiasm contrasts jarringly with her best friend Kaito, a lazy video game enthusiast who would rather play games than build robots.
• Sailor Moon:
  • Usagi Tsukino is an obvious example. Eternally cheerful and loud. Her monologue from the first anime's Stars season perfectly expresses it. Here's just the end:
    Oh, it's almost 7 o'clock on Saturday! Dinner time!
    All right!!
    With mom's food, and the TV on, my cheerfulness goes up a hundred times! The peace of school, and the peace of my family, and the peace of my sweetheart, and the peace of the universe, I will protect them all together!
    Time to eat!
    Yes! Energy level at two hundred percent! Cheer bursting at ten billion horsepower! Transform!
  • Minako is even more energetic. She's usually (apparently) calm, but whenever something sets her off... She once outran a car while weakened by having donated blood, having run all day and with her Pure Heart Crystal extracted (the latter of which has instantly knocked out everyone else, including Usagi).
  • To a lesser degree, in a rare adult example, Miss Haruna has shades of this. When she's not being a Stern Teacher lecturing her students, she's shown to be rather excitable and boy-crazy.
• Saki: Yuki, though it's actually a bit of a problem for her Mahjong playing since she loses focus after the initial rounds, causing her game to drop.
• School Rumble: Tenma Tsukamoto, especially when she's a Shipper on Deck.
  • Its also to cover up that she's a Stepford Smiler.
• The Secret Garden makes Mary Lennox a Composite Character of Mary and Martha, hence her being a cheeky, energetic girl who's infectious attitide also inspires Colin to be a happy person.
• Slayers: Princess Amelia is a truly terrifying mix of this trope and Love Freak. HAMMER OF JUSTICE!!
• Sora no Manimani: Mihoshi Akeno, who's full of energy and passion about two things: astronomy and Saku. She also has a tendency to hug him without warning.
• Soul Eater: Patty Thompson maintains a cheerful attitude in any situation. Also she laughs like crazy.
• Street Fighter II V: Chun-Li. Justified, as this is an Alternate Universe where she's much younger than in canon.
• Time of Eve: Akiko acts like this when the main characters first meet her. They automatically assumed she was human, only to discover that, in public, she is an emotionless Robot Girl. This is a façade, though, so being a Genki Girl really is her natural personality.
• Tokyo Mew Mew: Huang Bu-ling, whose sprinting and flailing is often accompanied by circus tricks like running on top of a ball or breathing fire. As Mew Pudding, most of her fight scenes consist of jumping around and climbing things.
• Tona-Gura!: Nina is so annoyingly genki, she nearly causes Emotionless Girl Marie Kagura to punish her, something she never does to anyone outside of her brother Yuuji. In his Chivalrous Pervert mode, Yuuji asks that he be punished in her place. If Marie were to choose this option with Tojo Haya, like as not, no one would stop her.
• Tonari no Kashiwagi-san: Tina is a happy and energetic girl who jumps into any social situation and will do what she can to cheer people up.
• Toradora!: Minori approaches everything with so much energy that she makes the surrounding people look lifeless.
• Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-: The first time we meet Sakura, she jumps on Syaoran and rapidly asks him a series of questions about how he's doing.
• 12 Beast: Aero is extremely excitable and cheery.
• Umi Monogatari: Kanon's perky, lively mom, Miyako, who acts much younger than her age and is always full of energy.
• Vandread: Dita fills this role, right down to frequently falling over while running.
• Wandering Son: Chizuru Sarashina is a wacky and eccentric girl who does what she wants to, even going against her school's clothing rules (she wore a bikini instead of the school swimsuit once, sometimes wears a tie instead of a ribbon, and wears the boy's uniform occasionally).
• WATATEN!: an Angel Flew Down to Me has Hinata Hoshino who is a bombastic fifth grader and Children Are Innocent played straight. She loves her older sister Miyako, blissfully unaware that Miyako had fallen in love with her best friend.
• Clara Valac of Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is Genki incarnate. Like a demonic Pinkie Pie who mainlines sugar when she wakes up. Endlessly peppy, endlessly cheerful and endlessly adorable. As one YouTube comment puts it:
  She's not a ray of sunshine. She's the entire goddamn star.
• The World God Only Knows: Ayumi. The first time we see her, she sprints into the main character, speeds through the conversation, and runs off. Into a wall.
• You're Under Arrest!: Natsumi is genki and loud most of the time.
• Yu-Gi-Oh!: Mana, the Egyptian past life of the Dark Magician Girl from the fifth season.
• Yotsuba&!: Yotsuba is a Genki Girl with training wheels. To drive the point home, several moments of the story show her with sunflowers.
• Yuyushiki: Ditzy Genius Yuzuko does this regularly. Yukari does it occasionally, usually when Yuzuko is doing something crazy.
