== Anime & Manga ==
* In ''[[Kenichi: theThe Mightiest Disciple]]'', Shigure and Hayato prefer fundoshi to Western-style bathing suits. Shigure also wears a [[Sarashi|chest wrap]] for her upper body and finds a standard two-piece bathing suit to be indecent.
** Shigure always wears a fundoshi.
* In the ''[[Gokusen]]'' manga, [[Shipper Onon Deck|Ooshima]] more or less forces Shin to participate in a festival where the men traditionally wear fundoshi, because it's major [[Fetish Fuel]] for [[Yakuza Princess|Kumiko]].
* When [[Yotsubato|Yotsuba!!]] sees someone in a fundoshi at the town festival, she reacts as a five-year-old probably would: "BUTT!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! BUTT!!!"
* In the ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' manga, Tamaki must wear one of these if his team loses the sports festival. {{spoiler|They do. He does}}
* Featured often in ''[[Gintama (Manga)|Gintama]]'' for comedic effect.
* Pesche from ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]''
* Another female example: Matabei Gotou from ''[[Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls]]'' wears this. In her case, it's definitely [[Fan Service]]... (She's not even wearing a skirt or anything over it!).
* Junko's from ''[[Ichiban Ushiro no DaimaouDai Maou]]'' is [[Male Gaze|first thing we see of her]].
* Clain from ''[[Fractale]]'', after being forced to change his dirty pants, reveals that it's his choice of underwear.
* Played for squicky laughs in a [[One Piece]] filler set in Medieval Japan, where Nami is hit by a strange piece of cloth... revealed to be [[Hollywood Cyborg|Franky's]] Fundoshi. Her reaction is priceless.
Line 33:
* ''[[Baki the Grappler]]'''s Hanayama Kaoru is a Yakuza, and so a very traditional man. When he gets serious on a fight, he [[Battle Strip|rips his clothes]], shows his family's back tattoo and keeps on fighting. [http://view.thespectrum.net/series/new-grappler-baki-volume-01.html?ch=Volume+04&page=101 Wearing only a fundoshi.]
* Goemon from ''[[Lupin III]]''. Particularly of note on missions involving swimming or diving; the rest of the Lupin gang will opt for wetsuits, but not the [[Samurai|highly traditional]] Goemon.
* Salamander from ''[[Yondemasu YoYondemasuyo, Azazel San-san]]'' wears nothing but a fundoshi. It's a [[Shout-Out]] to Yukio Mishima (of whom Salamander is a parody of) posing in fundoshi with a sword for a photoshoot.
* In ''[[Fairy Tail]]'', Elfman wears one adorned with a character meaning "honorable man".
* Kukuri of ''[[Hell Girl]]'' sports a pair of these. Though considering she looks to be about five years old at best(Hard to tell with demons and all) it's definitely not for fanservice.
Line 50:
 
== Video Games ==
* As a consequence of fandom injokes, Rinnosuke from ''[[Touhou (Video Game)|Touhou]]'' (particularly his counterpart '''Man'''nosuke) is often depicted wearing nothing but a fundoshi.
* Gotou in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei I]]'' sports a fundoshi despite being a military man. Hell, he will even fight you with only a fundoshi on.
** Speaking of ''[[Shin Megami Tensei (Franchise)|Shin Megami Tensei]]'', several demons such as pre-Soul Hackers Loki and Soul Hacker design Take-Mikazuchi all wear a fundoshi.
** ''[[Persona 4]] has a fundoshi as armor. [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|Unfortunately, it doesn't appear on their in-game models.]]
* Heihachi's 1P costume from ''[[Tekken]] 4''. Enough said....
Line 58:
* Mizoguchi's appearance from ''[[King of Fighters]]: Maximum Impact 2 Regulation A'', his alternate costume is nothing but a fundoshi tied around him.
* The Ruan Brothers from ''Outlaws of the Lost Dynasty'' all share the same muscled physique with a rokushaku fundoshi as their base sprite. The only difference is that they put on different colored loincloth and various heads.
* One of [[The One Guy|Zafira's]] [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|unlockable swimsuits]] in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As Portable (Video Game)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As Portable]]: The Gears of Destiny''. The other one is an [[Old-Timey Bathing Suit]].
* ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]'': Jin's taunt and anti-air animation show he's not afraid to be traditional in more than one way.
