  • Trucy Wright talks like this in the Japanese version of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. It was removed in the American localization though.
  • Kouri from Brass Restoration.
  • Fuko of CLANNAD, a small, childish character. She continues to speak this way even when she's an adult, though this because she was in a coma for several years. Her sister Kouko points out that people would take her more seriously if she spoke in first person instead, and Fuuko tries it... but immediately gives up.
  • Da Capo's Miharu refers to herself in third person.
  • Danganronpa:
  • Oko San, from Hatoful Boyfriend, only ever refers to himself as "Okosan". Since he only speaks in subtitled cooing, there's a difference in how the heroine translates for him (pretentious and Hot-Blooded, using the "grandiose" third-person) and how the other birds translate for him (birdbrained and childish, using the "immature" third-person).
  • Rena Ryuguu in Higurashi: When They Cry. In her case, it's both cutesy and sinister.
  • Sayuri, in Kanon. Her crushing guilt over her well-meant but harsh treatment of her younger brother and his early death in her Back Story led her to switch to third-person to distance herself from herself.
  • Katawa Shoujo's Misha plays with this trope a lot. She sometimes uses what sounds like third person speech, but it's because she's voicing Shizune's signs. She also inverts the trope by speaking in first person for a third person. Lastly, she's not above lampshading it either, which is justified when it's to make clear who's actually speaking.
  • Kindred Spirits on the Roof
    • Megumi Nagatani, the younger of the two refers to herself in the third person in her Japanese voiced dialogue.
    • Fuji Ano, who's a friend of the protagonist, Yuna Toomi, sometimes calls herself "Miss Ano" when she's trying to be cutesy.
    • Tsukuyo Sonou, a teacher, sometimes refers to herself as "Sensei."
  • Remi from My Girlfriend Is the President.
  • Rizu in A Profile. At one point Masayuki is worried for her when she uses the more standard "atashi" to refer to herself.
  • Chiemi Serizawa, the heroine from Raging Loop due to her immature nature. The protagonist Haruaki sometimes mixes First and Third person in the same sentence. Which is when "Haruaki" is differentiating between his fake identity and his real one.
  • Angie in Shikkoku no Sharnoth, which is kind of odd considering it takes place in Victorian Britain.
  • Spirit Hunter: NG: Kakuya, a cute little doll girl in a kimono who happens to be the Big Bad, does this as part of her Psychopathic Womanchild personality.
  • Chigara from Sunrider is an inconsistent example. Sometimes she's talk normally, and at other times she'll refer to herself in the third person. It's more prevalent in the second game than in the first, and it seems to be a reflection of the intimacy between her and her Love Interest Kayto Shields (as she sometimes calls herself “your Chigara” when speaking to him).
  • Maria from Umineko: When They Cry. Granted, she is nine years old, but even other characters consider this overly childish.
