Line 31:
* As part of the promotion for the [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Chaos;Head]]'', seven character blogs, one for each of the girls and one for protagonist Takumi, appeared on the website.
* The protagonists(?) of ''[[Disgaea]]'' also have their own [[Myspace]] pages, up to and including bickering with each other in the comments page. More amusingly, the Black Lagoon characters link the ''[[Disgaea]]'' characters as their friends, and vice versa.
* Albert from ''[[Gankutsuou]]'' had a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130612233057/http://albert0829.blogzine.jp/index/ blog] written by, iirc, the scenario writer of the series as an unofficial sequel to the series. It chronicled his days on Janina where he met various people from his past, including someone who was ''very'' heavily implied to be the Count in disguise. His friends from Earth often left comments on the entries. (Before you start wondering: yes, it ''was'' officially recognized. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20200923091724/http://gankutsuou.blogzine.jp/ official blog] even links to it.)
* The English versions of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' and ''[[Lucky Star]]'' both have Myspace accounts, from Kyon and Minoru respectively. They're apparently run by Bandai.
** [[Code Geass|Lelouch]] has one, too, also presumably run by Bandai.
Line 156:
* Sam Fisher, the hero of ''[[Splinter Cell]]'', once had one. Just like the "interviews" with him in the games' special features, it claimed that the games were merely based on his real life adventures. Strangely, [[Broken Masquerade|he explicitly named the top-secret organization he's supposedly a part of]].
* There is a rather lengthy series of [[Fan Work|fan-made]] character blogs for the cast of [[Suikoden IV]] and [[Suikoden Tactics]], which tell the story of both games, although Tactics is incomplete. The archives can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20070403215028/http://www9.brinkster.com/miluda/journals/index.html here].
* Eri Mizutani, from the DS game [[The Idolmaster (video game)|THE iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars]], has her own blog, named [https://web.archive.org/web/20130624154329/http://my.bnfes.jp/blog.php?community_id=34 Fountain of Ellie].
** Actually, this is sort of [[Older Than They Think]]. The arcade version of [[The Idolmaster (video game)|The Idolmaster]] had an online service where, if you put in your e-mail or cellphone numbers (not sure of which), the Idol you're currently coaching will send you text messages from time to time.
** And with the advent of [[Twitter]], character microblogs of [[The Idolmaster (video game)|The Idolmaster]] characters are blooming (more so after [[The Anime of the Game]] airs). The genuine, Bandai Namco-operated ones are of course [[No Export for You|Japanese-only]], while there are also a few English role-played character blogs with a varying degree of [[Serious Business|seriousness]]. Here's a few examples, for [http://twitter.com/#!/harukaamami765 Haruka], [http://twitter.com/#!/ChihayaKisaragi Chihaya], [http://twitter.com/#!/YayoinoKaidashi Yayoi], [http://twitter.com/#!/YukihoHagiwara_ Yukiho], and [http://twitter.com/#!/MakotoKikuchi_ Makoto].
