Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
 
Line 114 ⟶ 115:
* ''[[Code Breaker]]'' has two: Nenene, who loves to randomly grope [[Cute Bruiser]] Sakura's breasts (and names them) and Yuuki, another Code: Breaker. Not only is Nenene Sakura's sempai, she's somehow a member of the student council. {{spoiler|Her dad being the prime minister of Japan and head of Eden (the Code: Breakers' organization) probably had something to do with it.}} Yuuki, on the other hand is one of the most powerful of the Code: Breakers in [[Organization Index|The Organization]] due to his control of {{spoiler|sound}}. For some reason, his nonsensical behavior annoys the usually lackadaisical Toki {{spoiler|who happens to be Nenene's estranged brother. Naturally, Nenene is easily distracted as Sakura says "This is your brother!" while standing in front of a guy with the same hair and [[Mismatched Eyes]] as her.}} To his (or his handlers') credit, Yuuki uses his nonsensical ideas ("He's a middle-aged mushroom suffering from depression") to become the chief of a multi-billion dollar toy empire, although all he really wants/needs are [[The Woobie|friends]].
* Though not a regular Cloudcuckoolander, Makino from the manga version of ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]'' has at least one time when she does this. In volume 33 {{spoiler|when she's given up on Tsukasa because of Umi}} she compares her situation to the plot in ''The Little Mermaid'' (the real story, without the [[Disneyfication]]) and ends up ranting about how she doesn't want to become bubbles (or something to that effect) in front of her little brother who's very confused.
* Hikari from ''[[Amanchu!]]'' arguably qualifies. She blows on a pea whistle everywhere she goes (including ''during class'') and jumps from a big rock in a way divers jump from a boat--even though there's no water. Whether her mild flirting with Futaba, another girl from her class, is simply part of her off-beat attitude or [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|perhaps something else]] is up to interpretation.
* ''[[Minami-ke]]'s'{{'}}s Hosaka is so caught up in his own little world he ends up acting his fantasies out in real life. People tend to think he's off his rocker as a result. Further, being a master of the [[Imagine Spot]], we the viewers tend to actually see what's going through his head at the time.
* ''[[Franken Fran]]'', which shows what happens when you give a well-intentioned Cloud Cuckoolander[[cloudcuckoolander]] the skill, mind, and reputation of a ''[[Black Jack]]'' level surgeon. Hint: [[Body Horror|It's not pretty]].
* Combine a hefty helping of this with a [[Stoic Spectacles]] [[Bishounen]] and you get Kairi from ''[[Nightmare Inspector]]''. He's the owner of a building called the "Delirium," a literal [[Cloudcuckooland]] -- getting locked in a room there means you get to live all your wildest fantasies until you die (or until you realize that it's just a hyped-up daydream, whichever comes first). Kairi himself is always sitting behind the desk, staring off into space, and daydreaming about all manner of weird things. The reader actually gets to see some of his trips to [[Cloudcuckooland]]...
* Miki "Nodamiki" Noda from ''[[GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class]]'' is living in her own little world compared to her friends. She believes that she can remove mold from paint with her "aura" and has started impromptu mini theaters on at least two occasions (once with a collage, once with a can of paint). She is quite boy crazy to boot, to the point of believing random guys have a crush on ''her''. Still, she seems to be on top of things.
Line 165 ⟶ 166:
* Okabe Rintaro, the protagonist of ''[[Steins;Gate]]'', likes talking to himself on the phone, rambling about weird conspiracies, pretending to be a [[Mad Scientist]] despite barely being able to create random, useless junk... he even calls himself Hououin Kyouma, as it's a much more impressive name than his actual one. {{spoiler|He was [[The Cuckoolander Was Right|right all the time- or at least most of it]], and he even calls his future self out for not having changed in 15 years}}
