== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' is a major offender in this regard. For example, there are three [[Bridge Bunnies]]. Megumi is part of the [[Love Dodecahedron]], so her name comes up a lot. Ruri is quite distinctive. But name the third. {{spoiler|Minato}}. While you're at it, name the guy with the bowl cut who joins the crew along with Akatsuki and Erina. {{spoiler|Admiral Munetake}}. Or the head chef {{spoiler|Ms. Howmei}}. The characters in the [[Show Within a Show]], ''Gekiganger 3'', are easier to identify by name than the cast of this show.
** Minato has a romantic subplot that is an important part of the
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' is rather stingy when it comes to even often-seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20090612071244/http://gurennlagann.wikia.com/wiki/Minor_Characters_of_Team_Dai-Gurren members of the Team Dai-Gurren]. Name four of them, not counting Kamina, Simon, Yoko, Nia, Leeron, Rossiu, Kittan and his sisters, {{spoiler|Viral, or Lord Genome}}. Hard, isn't it? Of all of the other characters, five are namedropped exactly twice in the first two ''arcs'', one takes fifteen episodes to get a name, and the rest have their names mentioned once and then left unsaid
** How bad is it for these characters, you ask? The page linked to above has been ''[[Unperson|deleted]]'' from Wikia.
* The Mechanic Couple in ''[[
** Nanae Hayashi is rather important to the resolution of the final crisis. And... okay, Morimoto might not even have a given name.
* In ''[[Saint Luminous Mission High School]]'', most of the characters aren't addressed by name until the episode focusing on them.
* Canada in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. In fact, he's the ''definition'' of this trope.

== [[Film]] ==
* Colonel Mertz von Quirnheim in ''[[Valkyrie (film)|Valkyrie]]''
* The first film of ''[[The Mummy Trilogy]]'' doesn't seem to mention Ardeth Bay's name anywhere. His first speaking scene in the sequel comes complete with two characters greeting him by name, as if to make sure you know what it is.
* The terrible lighting and sound quality of ''[[Ax 'Em]]'' makes it impossible to figure out who ''anyone'' is, which isn't helped by the fact that some major characters die offscreen and others seem to die onscreen [[Beyond the Impossible|multiple times.]]
