| I've made a similar thread about loli characters almost exactly a year ago and today I've watched the first episode of Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi and thought of their male counterparts. The thing is, I don't remember ever liking shotas, but Tokiyuki appears to me like a very bright, adventurous and energetic boy, not annoying in the slightest, very graceful, decorous and dignified to boot. I have no idea how the story and anime are going to progress further, but so far he's been very enjoyable to watch. |
Gon and Killua because they're the only shotas that i know well. |
| @tchitchouan Killua is OK in my book, but Gon was one of the main reasons I disliked HxH. |
| Probably Koushi Nagumo from Megami-ryou no Ryoubo-kun. |

| @Shizuna why tho, he's a pretty kind kid. |

| @tchitchouan It's been almost 10 years since I've watched HxH (2011) so I won't be able to articulate my gripes that well, but in short I thought he lacked charisma almost in every aspect (design, personality, behavior). His confrontation with Neferpitou and the consequenceless aftermath of that didn't sit right with me either. Who knows, though, maybe if I watched it today I'd feel differently. |
Lloyd de Saloum Shota really ain't my thing, but the amount of butthurt emitting from the internet over this character warms my heart. Pretty enjoyable show as well, started out as a 6.6 on MAL and is now at 7.5. |

Shizuna said: he lacked charisma almost in every aspect (design, personality, behavior). Well that's on purpose, he's supposed to convey an innocent boy next door kind of demeanor which is within the common shonen mc tropes. Yes, he's a pretty safe and bland mc but that's what makes him likable for the viewer, his naiveté, immaturity, stubbornness are his main defining traits. |
| Do traps/femboys count? My favorite is Coco from, ahem, Boku no Pico. |
 |
| Damian from spy x family, Souta from Horimiya or Killua from HxH. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| I don't know. All I know is I don't like Gon from Hunter x Hunter. |
| SHouta from Dragon Maid. He makes me think of Lucoa and i love me some Milf Dragons |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. |
| LMAO i had the same thought when watching this ep like rn and this frame was something else |

Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| I'm not really sure how to tell whether a character is a shouta, it's a far less common concept than loli in anime so it's hard to get an instinctive feel for it. Does Hayama Akito of Kodocha count, for instance? I really don't know. |
| I watched this show today for that shota and i have no complaints. He also went like, " you made me want to live life, take responsibility" or smthn after that frame when riding horse and my mind was all over the place. My favourite kinds of shotas are more feisty and cheeky though. I also like tsundere chiisai bouya. FOr physical features, it's freckles and messy hair. Seikon no qwaser trash anime, but i really like shota there. @_YaoiShotaIncest expert opinion please. |
 |
Subaru definitely seems the most relatable |
  |
| I like almost all the shota that mangaka Kazuhiko Mishima made, shota seme is supremacy. Ciel and Alois are also my favorites.  |
 |
Shaoran Li from Cardcaptor Sakura. |
 |
 Nemo from Fate. All the best femboys come from fate, however Nemo comes as a packaged deal (coming with what are essentially clones; some of which being lolis) you gain an entire varied harem by obtaining Nemo and zats a value husbando for me |
 |
This kid just made a really strong first impression, if you like cute Shota's you might want to check out Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi It's currently airing |

| @SgtBateMan My apologies bateman-dono, or rather daikenja-dono, I assumed you've still yet to master this one pero~ |
|
| thanks for posting his name Lloyd de Saloum, unfortunately it's gonna be hard to memorize this name. i'd probably call him atelier boy sometimes in the future. |
Hacka doll 3 (Hacka Doll) is my new favourite |
 |
| maybe kid simon the digger if he counts as shota |
| I have a hard time viewing Yamato from Digimon Adventure solely as a shota because I saw his grown-up versions as well, but when I was 10-11 years old, I had a crush on him :p I guess that childhood crush is what makes him one of my favorite shotas even to this day? I like Schrödinger from Hellsing Ultimate a lot. He is a great shota-catboy combo :p Someone mentioned Shaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura, and he is definitely one of my favorite shotas as well. I also really like Haru from Digimon: Appli Monsters because he is freaking adorable. And as much as I hate most of the Kuroshitsuji characters, Alois Trancy is definitely worth noting. I also saw someone else mention him above, which doesn't surprise me in the slightest! Overall, I don't think I know or like all that many shota characters, so I'm hardly an expert :) |
 Ichiro Hanada from Hanada Shounen-shi (2003). |
 |
| I think my favorite is shota Araragi or shota Yuji. My favorite 'true' Shota is reg, |
| It's really hard to pick just one, so I'm only here to support the shota collective |
My Old Shota Jing from Jing King of Bandit |

| @Absurdo_N 9S from Nier Automata is also adorable.  |
|
| Killua (if he qualifies enough because of age after timeskip?) If not then Jonathan Mar from Jormungand |
 |
do they qualify? [I would rather call them the ouji type] - Jonathan Mar [Jormungand], Mikhail [Vanitas no Carte], Hansel [Black Lagoon]... and probably others I can't remember - someone up there posted 9S and I'm pretty sure that he doesn't count haha    |

Shota really ain't my thing, but the amount of butthurt emitting from the internet over this character warms my heart. Pretty enjoyable show as well, started out as a 6.6 on MAL and is now at 7.5.

| @Tablekun Loved that anime and agreed on best shota. |
 |
| I would probably say Ash Ketchum. Is that an appropriate answer??? |
| Shota Soushi must be protected at all costs and deserves to be loved |
