* A rare anime example is Tapp Oceano from ''[[Metal Armor Dragonar]]''. In a strange twist, he is a rather grounded individual who came from a childhood of relative poverty living in New York, compared to his friends Kaine Wakaba, the somewhat overzealous hero who grew up in a strangely traditional Japanese village, and Light Newman, [[The Smart Guy]] who happens to be a certified British nobleman (he doesn't like to talk about it).
* Misa Hayase's [[Cool Big Sis]] Claudia LaSalle /Grant from [[Macross]] / [[Robotech]]. In [[Robotech]] continuity, there's also Dana Sterling's childhood friend (and Claudia's nephew), Bowie Grant.

*** "A white friend could be the difference between a ticket--" [black driver is handed a ticket as white friend watches sympathetically; arrow caption says "Ticket"] "--and a bullet in the ass." [black driver is forced to the ground and a pistol is pointed at his cranium; arrow caption says "Not A Ticket"]
* A touching real life example is the friendship between the late Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers, both football players. When Piccolo developed cancer and died, Sayers stood by him and encourgaedencouraged him. This inspired the film ''[[Brian's Song]]''.
