MY HUNTER-GATHERER BLOOD BOILS! AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
— Hiyoko, Hatoful Boyfriend
- Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes, Ace Attorneys, are as close as you're ever going to see to hot-blooded lawyers, though they tend to be a bit calmer and quieter outside of the courtroom.
- Apollo Justice takes VOICE TRAINING so he can be this hot-blooded.
- OBJECTION!
- The dumb variant of this trope — Detective Dick Gumshoe~! He is so hot-blooded that every other line of his tends to come with plenty of screen-shaking and violent sound effects.
- Furio Tigre from Trials and Tribulations is probably the best example of this trope of the entire series. This dude is constantly shouting and roaring like a tiger at others and speaking in a Brooklyn-style accent. It helps that it is real easy to piss him off and his entire skin is even orange in color! When he was revealed as the killer of the third case, he roars so loudly the whole damn lights in the courtroom temporary shut off.
- Agent Shi-Long Lang from the Investigations series is pretty hot-blooded to the point he acts a lot like a wolf — snarling at his subordinates if they get out of line, or howling when he gets upset.
- Robin Newman from Dual Destinies is this mixed with No Indoor Voice. It comes as a huge surprise when we learn that he's in the fine arts club... and frequently throws his own ceramics onto the floor. It comes as an even HUGER surprise when we learn that he's actually a girl.
- Akio Furukawa of CLANNAD, beyond a doubt. All he needs is a mecha.
- Danganronpa:
- Kiyotaka Ishimaru from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is an interesting case of a Hot-Blooded Class Representative who's VERY SERIOUS about order and discipline and following the rules. This is exaggerated when he befriends the equally hot-blooded Mondo Oowada after a stamina duel in a sauna. He gets even more Hot-Blooded (and foul-mouthed) when he's possessed by Oowada's spirit (or just goes crazy.)
- Nekomaru Nidai from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is so Hot-Blooded that his eyes are constantly firing electricity.
- Koujaku from the BL VN DRAM Atical Murder, whose specialty is riling up all the seemingly stoic people he meets as soon as he meets them because he thinks they're up to no good (he's, perhaps unsurprisingly, right about this). Which is basically every seemingly stoic character in the game (there are a number of them).
- Fate/stay night's Shirou Emiya is not really that hot blooded (unless his hero complex is acting up). However, he is very passionate about his cooking in the gag comics, getting into huge arguments with Archer, Gilgamesh, Sakura, and Rin over whose cooking is the best.
- Though we never see her on-screen, Anastasia of Fleuret Blanc is implied to be this by some of the characters. She is described as being an aggressive, opinionated free spirit who wasn't afraid to challenge the judges' authority. Amara hated her.
- In Hatoful Boyfriend, such characters are as eccentric as they are dramatic:
- The heroine, whose default name is Hiyoko Tosaka. Although she's capable of being vaguely calm (and sometimes manages to be the Only Sane Man in contrast to the birds' antics), it's also not unusual for her to go around screaming about her hunter-gatherer instincts. She has also been known to get into fights with everything from street thugs to wild jackals, though not without reason.
- Oko San. When he's first introduced, he's (over)reacting to some pudding that he considers sub-par by stomping on it and yelling that "this is no pudding for a man!". His route is him and Hiyoko trying to out-ham each other in the name of love and pudding.
- Anghel Higure is nearly incapable of being anything other than dramatic. He has a habit of shouting and crashing through windows, and treats everything as though he's a fantasy protagonist on an epic quest, complete with using dramatic fantasy terms to refer to absolutely everything no matter how mundane it may be, because that is legitimately how he sees the world; his description of his parents' occupation makes it sound like they're on an epic quest of their own... until Hiyoko asks him to speak normally and he says they're fishmongers. In his route, he even wants to fight the local Deadly Doctor head-on.
- In Higurashi: When They Cry:
- Once the characters realise The Power of Friendship is the only way to Screw Destiny they all become distinctly Hot-Blooded. Keiichi generally shows a lot of Hot-Blooded behaviour, if he's not going Psycho.
- If you listen to Satoshi's image song
, you notice how surprisingly hot blooded he is. Satoshi acted similar to Keiichi in Onikakushi-hen, according to Rena, meaning they can't be too different. - Speaking of Rena, when she isn't really sweet/calm or under the Hate Plague, or someone is hallucinating her being maniacal. She is just as Hot-Blooded as Keiichi. It really shows in the Minagoroshi manga and sound novels.
- Officer Ooe from Spirit Hunter: NG is passionate about her work and, despite her amiable personality, is easy to rile and not to be messed with. When confronted with a spirit, she shows no fear and faces it head-on.
- In Umineko: When They Cry, Battler is Hot-Blooded in a similar way to Keiichi. However, in this story it's deconstructed; his Hot-Blooded tendencies actually keep him from figuring out Beatrice's game, since he never stops to consider why she's challenging him in the first place and remains too focused on defeating her out of a vague sense of justice. He constantly misses the point of the clues she leaves for him in the form of "magic", and he can be very Innocently Insensitive at times. Once he finally realizes the truth in EP5, his Hot-Blooded-ness is toned down.
