Line 38:
** The three Osaka kids in the OVA, "Conan and Heiji and the Vanished Boy" strongly resemble the Detective Boys. Even their names sound very alike: Mayumi, Mikihiko, and Kenta.
* ''Gundam: The Origin'', an alternate retelling-slash-prequel to ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'', introduces a '''real''' Char Aznable, who looks exactly like Casval Deikun (the Char fans know and love) except for eye color (Casval has blue, Char has brown). When Casval learns that the Zabis are out to get him, he pulls a rather [[Shoot the Dog|cold-blooded]] [[Twin Switch]], getting poor Char killed and assuming his identity. This actually briefly lead to an [[Epileptic Trees|Epileptic Tree]] that Full Frontal from ''[[Gundam Unicorn]]'' was Real!Char who had [[He's Just Hiding|somehow survived]].
* ''[[One Piece]]''
*
*** Pay close attention to chapter 0... {{spoiler|Tashigi looks even more like ''Kuina's mom''. Which Zoro apparently doesn't realize, since apparently he never met said mother.}}
*** This would presumably be because {{spoiler|Tashigi in the current storyline is, like Kuina's mother in the flashback, an adult. We can only guess what an adult Kuina would've looked like, since she didn't survive to adulthood - she died at age 14.}}
** Nami has an uncanny resemblance to many secondary recurring characters, including [https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Nefertari_Vivi Vivi], [https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Rebecca?so=search Rebecca], [https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Shirahoshi?so=search Shirahoshi], and [https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Vegapunk/Lilith?so=search Lilith], the biggest difference between them being hairstyle and hair color. This is probably just a coincidence, given Oda’s art style (Shirahoshi and Lilith aren’t even human) but stranger things have happened…
* In ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'', during the "Death March" arc Sena accidentally gets roped into a round of NFL tryouts where he meets Jimmy Simard, who looks very much like his teammate Ishimaru back home. The joke is that "Jimmy Simard" sounds like "jimi ishimaru" when said with a Japanese accent. "Jimi Ishimaru" means "plain Ishimaru," one of the [[Running Gag|running gags]] of the series.
** In the anime, on the plane ride that kicked off the America arc the characters mix up Cerberus and an identical looking stuffed animal.
