*** Lampshaded ''again'' when Happôsai explains why he can't hit the pressure points on Hinako to nullify her [[Energy Absorption]] power: it involves hitting points on her front and back simultaneously and his arms are too short to do that.
*** As well as Cologne and Happôsai, ''Ranma ½'' has other Miniature Senior Citizens as well. The manga has Happôsai's old partner/rival Lukkosai, who has managed to get himself a [[Fountain of Youth|Jusenkyô Spring of Drowned Child curse]]. The anime has Happôsai's old friend Chingensai, who basically looks like Happôsai with a massive head of brown hair that, coupled with his thick beard/moustach, covers his whole head, and a trio of unnamed others who show up in an early seventh season episode.
*** Finally, a [[Filler]] episode in the first season gives us Kin Ono, the diminutive mother of [[Brother Chuck|Dr. Tôfû Ono]]. Unlike these others, she's only a "normal" old person, about 60 or so, but she seems to have been fairly tiny even when she was a young girl.
** Also lampshaded in ''[[Inuyasha]]'', in which Miyoga is smaller than the younger characters for a reason—he's a flea. Kikyo's sister Kaede and Kagome's grandfather are also both shorter than most of the rest of the cast, although with somewhat more realistic proportions.
* ''[[The Slayers]]'' has, in at least Slayers NEXT (the second season of the anime), Auntie Aqua, a little old woman who's barely waist-high on Amelia. She turns out to be {{spoiler|the last remaining fragment of the soul of the Water Dragon King, one of the five gods who serve the Dragon God Ceiphied}}.
