("Comic Strips " -> "Newspaper Comics", resorted sections, did some other minor cleanup)
Line 19:
* In ''[[Saiyuki]]'', the [[Team Pet]] Jeep (aka Hakuryuu) is a white dragon who [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|can turn into]] a [[Cool Car|Jeep]]. ''Hakuryuu'' means "white dragon."
* The heroine of ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' is a duck who can turn into a human girl. Her name is Duck. Often she's still referred to by her Japanese name, Ahiru... which is Japanese for "Duck."
* Subverted in ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' when one of the Misaka sisters finds a stray cat. When Touma asks what she wants to name it, she responds "dog". (When Touma says no, she suggests "Schrodinger", invoking [[SchrodingerSchrödinger's Cat|a completely different trope]].)
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': Subverted by Kodachi's pet, Mister Turtle, {{spoiler|a crocodile}}.
* In ''[[Toradora!]]'', Ryuuji's parakeet is named "Inko-chan". "Inko" happens to be Japanese for "parakeet".
