* The titular heroine of ''Shi'' is descended from a long line of Kyoto ''[[Warrior Monk|sohei]]'', and often uses the naginata, their favoured weapon.
* In ''[[Sin City]]'', an assassin named Mariah has a collapsible staff with twin prongs.

Line 206:
* Also in ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'': Sanada Yukimura, Maeda Keiji, Honda Tadakatsu, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Azai Nagamasa. Maeda Toshiie also carries two spears on his back, but they're not his main weapons.
