(#13) Leonard Testarossa - 'Fullmetal Panic!: The Second Raid'
Leonard Testarossa is a high-ranking member of a terrorist organization called Amalgam, which puts him at odds with the anti-terrorist organization Mithril, and also his younger twin sister Teletha. Once protective of his sister, his time with Amalgam changed him.
Leonard doesn't exactly believe in Amalgam's goals - rather, he's using them to achieve his true ambition of resetting time and creating a world without suffering. If that means opposing his sister and being cruel to her comrades, so be it.

(#15) Raoh
- Fist of the North Star, Fist of the North Star
Raoh has a large number of younger siblings, both by blood and by adoption. However, he's far more dedicated to developing his power than he is to forming close relationships with them. Instead, he actively opposes them on more than one occasion. For example, when Ryuken chose to give the Hokuto Shinken fighting style to Raoh's adoptive brother Kenshiro instead of him, he refuses to give up his power, and takes Ryuken's life to insure that he doesn't have to.
Later, he would try to get Kenshiro's fiance Yuria to marry him instead, before changing his mind and faking her murder in order to trick Kenshiro into fighting him. A close brotherly relationship this is not.

(#7) Lelouch Lamperouge
- Code Geass
At the start of Code Geass, Lelouch Lamperouge is actually a doting older brother who prioritizes his sister Nunnally above everything. While his actual feelings don't change, his behavior does. Once he formulates his ultimate plan for world peace, he starts acting like a complete jerk to everyone who cares about him, including his sister - largely by ignoring her since he has trouble with direct cruelty when it comes to the people he loves. It's only when Lelouch is about to pass away that Nunnally finds out the meaning behind his bizarre and distant behavior.
Meanwhile, Lelouch has his own aloof older brother, Prince Schneizel. This family just can't win.

(#6) Ayame Sohma
- Fruits Basket
In the early stages of his relationship with his younger brother Yuki, Ayame Sohma was about as aloof as you can get. Yuki was ten years younger than him, which is enough to throw a wrench into a lot of sibling relationships. As a teenager, Ayame had other things on his mind besides caring for his little brother.
Besides, the amount of care that Yuki needed was more than Ayame could handle. Not only was Yuki a sickly child, he was also favored by the violent and controlling family head. What's more, their mother pretty much didn't care about either of them. In order to keep himself safe in a hostile environment, Ayame focused on himself rather than his brother.
As an adult, Ayame is trying to repair his relationship with the now-teenaged Yuki, but because of their estranged past, and because of their clashing personalities, it isn't exactly going well.

(#8) Illumi Zoldyck - 'Hunter X Hunter'
Illumi Zoldyck presents an interesting inversion of the aloof older brother trope. While he appears to be largely expressionless and uncaring when it comes to his little brother Killua, he actually cares way, way too much. Rather than allow Killua to make his own choices, Illumi inserts a needle into his brain that can control his behavior - specifically, it forces him to run away from fights he might lose.
Why does he go so far to insure Killua's survival? Because Killua is supposed to inherit the Zoldyck family. So, while Illumi might be excessively controlling of Killua, it's not exactly out of brotherly love, and in fact his heart is still pretty closed off from him.

(#3) Itachi Uchiha
- Naruto Shippūden, Naruto, Ninja World
At the beginning of Naruto, Itachi seems about as distant as it's humanly possible to be. That's because he eliminates his entire clan and then skips town to join the Akatsuki, leaving his little brother with a singular goal - to get revenge.
It's later revealed that Danzo Shimura forced Itachi to take out his whole family by giving him a choice - do the deed himself and escape with his own life and Sasuke's intact or be eliminated by Root along with the rest of the family. Because he was so traumatized by going through a war as a child, inviting further warfare by giving his family the chance to fight back wasn't an option.
Rather than tell Sasuke the truth, he encouraged his little brother to despise him, in the hopes that he'd one day come after him and destroy him. It's a miserable story from start to finish, and the two don't bridge their distance until it's far too late.
