* Sakurako Sanjou from ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]'' gets extensive plastic surgery just because other children, especial importance placed on Tsukasa, called her ugly as a kid. In the Japanese drama, the girl playing her is [[Hollywood Homely|not at all ugly.]]
* A very tragic case is {{spoiler|Yuri Tokikago}} from ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]'', who believes herself to be ugly {{spoiler|because of her [[Mad Artist]] dad's abuse.}}
