== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* Hotaru Tomoe/Sailor Saturn from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' was so popular [[The Woobie|for]] [[Token Mini-Moe|whatever]] [[Moe|reason]] that a few [[Magical Girl]] series following copied her character in particular, such as Michal Amagi in ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]''. Tsubame Sanjou from ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' is also based on her character.
* Yasunori Kato, antagonist of the classic series [[Doomed Megalopolis (Anime)|Doomed Megalopolis]], has inspired a slew of imitators, which have in turn inspired others, to the point where it's difficult to tell who inspired who after the original. Characters of his lineage include [[Street Fighter|M. Bison]], [[Riki Oh|Washizaki]], [[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Rudolph von Stronheim]], the [[Ultimate Muscle|Blocken family]], [[World Heroes (Video Game)|Brocken]], and [[One Piece|Shiliew]], while surprisingly, we have a heroic version in the name of [[Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army|Raidou]] [
* Goku from ''[[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]]'' was the original [[Shonen]] [[Idiot Hero]]. Besides the basic "lovable idiot" aspect of the character, his imitators also tend to copy several other character traits of his, such as his [[Blood Knight|extreme love of fighting,]] [[Big Eater|his equally big love of food,]] [[The Messiah|his immensely compassionate and unselfish nature]], and his [[Chaste Hero|lack of sexual awareness.]] And the [[Anime Hair|improbable hairdo]].
** The hairdo part is [[Lampshaded]] by an NPC in ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'', the main character of which looks quite a bit like Goku. In fact, he was designed by Toriyama himself.
