Line 13:
== Anime & Manga ==
* In ''[[Ranma
** The Jusenkyō Guide pushes this to the extreme of everyone calling him simply "Guide" (or "Mr. Guide" if they're polite.) Plum, his daughter, calls him "Father", but that's it.
** There's also the Dojo Destroyer, a [[Giant Mook]] whose only claim to fame is to travel the country challenging dojos for their signs... and then [[Improbable Weapon User|using the conquered signs as weapons]]. Since he's just a very minor (and nearly harmless) [[Diabolus Ex Nihilo]], he didn't even deserve a name.
** In an incredibly minor example, Mousse receives a letter from his mother. Instead of her name above the return address on the envelope, it simply reads "Mousse no haha" -- "Mousse's Mommy".
* Cafe owners in anime are regularly addressed exclusively as "Master" (the english word), most notably in ''[[Witch Hunter Robin]]'' where the Master of Robin's local cafe is a fairly important supporting character. It's apparently the standard in Japanese culture.
** ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]'' and ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'' do the same.
Line 81 ⟶ 82:
** Tadakuni's little sister Mei is always referred as "little sister" (''imouto''), even by people other than Tadakuni.
** Sanada North Prefectual's [[Student Council President]] and Vice-president, and their counterparts in Central Prefectual, are only referred by their titles.
