In short, [[Supporting Protagonist]] [[X Meets Y|meets]] [[Audience Surrogate]].
Line 12 ⟶ 9:
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Kagome in ''[[Inuyasha]]'' is perhaps the [[Deuteragonist]], but as an [[Ordinary High School Student]] in the mythical [[Jidai Geki]], she provides someone for the audience to relate to.
* Togusa in ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'' is the newest member of Public Security Section 9, and an unaugmented human to boot.
* Averted in ''[[Super GALS!]]'', where it looks like Aya is going to be in the shadow of gregarious Ran the entire time. And indeed, the story revolves around Ran -- but Ran comes out at the end exactly the same person as she was in the beginning. It turns out Aya was the [[Protagonist]] all along, as she [[Coming of Age Story|comes of age]].
== [[Film]] ==
* [[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command|Buzz Lightyear]] plays this role in the first ''[[Toy Story]]'' film. He's not even aware he's a toy at first, so he learns the world of the bedroom toybox at the same time as the audience.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
Line 33 ⟶ 22:
* Harry Kim in ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' transfers to the USS Voyager right before she's sucked in to the Delta Quadrant, and for the first year of the series tries to work his way into the existing crew relationships. Although with the Maquis present, there are two factions of crew, but Harry doesn't yet belong to either group at first.
* Joel Fleischman in ''[[Northern Exposure]]'' is the new doctor paying off his student loans through practicing in the [[Quirky Town]] of Cicely, Alaska.
