{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Kyuzo does this twice in ''[[Samurai Seven|Samurai 7]]''. With two swords, it's easy to run out of hands.
* The pirate-themed anime ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'' takes this to extremes. Roronoa Zoro, a bounty hunter who eventually becomes Luffy's swordsman, utilizes the powerful techniques of Santôryû, a fictional fighting style that involves wielding three swords, one in each hand and one ''in the mouth''. Somehow, [[Talking Is a Free Action|he can even talk while doing this]]: the creator said that [[It Runs On Nonsensoleum|it is his heart that allows him to speak]].
** Although in the [[
*** However in the original Japanese voice over he amusingly rolls his r's like a yankee with sword clenched in teeth. Now that's talent.
* Psychotic priest [[Knight Templar|Alexander Anderson]] does this in ''[[Hellsing]]'' though not by choice, as he had {{spoiler|previously gotten his arms blown off by Alucard}}.
* Just about every other promotional image for ''[[Naruto]]'' features the title character posing with a kunai in his mouth. Laughed at in [http://risachantag.deviantart.com/art/Naruto-Occupational-Hazards-12026964 this] fanart.
** A more extreme example takes place in the series' Land of Waves arc climax. Deprived of the use of his arms, a [[Unstoppable Rage|really pissed off]] Zabuza is able to [[Foe
** Similarly, the mouth is just ''one'' of the improbably places Killer Bee [http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/File:Seven_Swords_Dance_Technique.PNG holds his 7 swords]. Note that none of the seven are actually in his ''hands''.
* ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'' has the protagonist's [[Humongous Mecha]] Arbalest, which has a spare dagger stored on its "mouth", specifically designed to be evocative of a ninja holding a scroll between his teeth. Rather than a sheathe, however, the dagger is held by a pair of clamps which pop open when Sosuke needs it.

** Ling also does this while picking up the injured Lan Fan
* The five lions of ''[[Go Lion]]'' (aka the Lion [[Voltron]]) all carried their swords in their mouth since, well, where else is a lion gonna carry a sword?
* [[Devil May Cry|Dante]] in the first episode of ''[[Devil May Cry the Animated Series]]'' has Ivory, one of his ''guns'', in his mouth. Justified, as one hand was shooting with Ebony (his other gun), the other hand was filleting with his sword, and he's [[Half
* Guts from ''[[Berserk]]'' is not only big on using his teeth to stop enemy attacks, but he also uses them so that he may use his own weapons when his own two hands are incapable of doing so.
* The ARX-7 Arbalest from ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'' stores a spare [[Absurdly Sharp Blade|monomolecular cutter]] in a special grip on its faceplate; [[Word of God]] is it was inspired by the image of a ninja holding a scroll between his teeth. However, the Arbalest only stores the blade like this, and will fight with it in hand like normal.

== [[Theater]] ==
* A [[Eighties Hair|1980s]] Broadway production of ''[[The Pirates of Penzance]]'', available on DVD (and [[YouTube]]), parodies this: During his excellent [["I Am" Song]], the Pirate King (Kevin Kline) steals the conductor's baton and carries it onstage between his teeth. Other flashy-if-dangerously-stupid tricks are mocked by having the King implicitly cut his hand on his own blade...or maybe that's just to show he's [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|not a very good pirate]].
