=== Action Games ===

* ''[[Devil May Cry]] 3'' has a move that's literally called Hurricane Kick (or Tornado, depending on version). For extra trope points, it's a follow-up to a [[Shoryuken]] move that involves [[Martial Arts Do Not Work That Way|stopping in mid air twice while ascending]].

=== Beat Em Ups ===

* Guy's ''Senpūkyaku'' and Cody's Double Kick in ''[[Final Fight]]''.

* Every ''[[Double Dragon]]'' beat-em-up since ''Double Dragon II'' gave Billy and Jimmy the "Cyclone Spin Kick". ''Double Dragon III'' in particular gave them a "Double Cyclone Kick".

** The Lee brothers did had a spin kick in the first arcade game, but it was not a rotating move like the one in the sequels. Instead, it was a jumping sobat that functioned as a back attack. A similar move was featured in the NES version which replaces the roundhouse in a kick combo when the player reaches the highest level.

** Randy and Andy, their [[Expy|expies]] from ''[[River City Ransom]]'', also had the Cyclone Kick.

* Scott's special move from ''[[Scott Pilgrim (video game)|Scott Pilgrim vs The World]]'' is an EX Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku.

* Gene of ''[[God Hand]]'' has this as one of his Roulette Wheel specials.

* Liu Kang's "Fatality" in the original ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' was a Helicopter Spin Kick, which basically involved him bending at the waist and twisting around to deliver two powerful kicks to the face, followed by an uppercut (which could throw people into the spike pit). While technically possible in [[Real Life]], it telegraphs what you're doing far too much to be of any use.

** Apparently works well to finish off a dazed enemy that can't protect themselves, though.

* Hinata Wakaba of ''[[Rival Schools]]'' has two variants. A regular attack where she's floating forwards and does 3 spinning sidekicks, and a super where she's floating stationary and dishing out a rapid volley of spinning back heel kicks. The super version gets remade into a rising attack in the sequel Project Justice.

** Hideo, being the series most blatant [[Shotoclone]], also has this move.

* This is one of the R-Trigger tricks in the ''[[Sonic Advance]]'' series starting in ''2''.

* Courtney Gears and her backup dancers in ''[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal]]''.
