Line 10:
* Sana and all her classmates are shown wearing ''uwabaki'' in ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]''.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' shows Shinji and Asuka changing into and out of inside shoes more than once, including a scene where Asuka finds love notes in her locker.
* Yamada and others in ''[[Sister Princess (Light Novel)|Sister Princess]]'' are seen wearing them.
* Megumi catches a member of her [[Instant Fanclub]] smelling her ''uwabaki'' in an early episode of ''[[Tenshi Nana Konamaiki]]''.
** We later find out that Keiko once tried to isolate Megumi by arranging to have ''everyone else's'' uwabaki stolen,(including her own), thus casting suspicion on Megumi.
* ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' used shoe changing as a scene several times.
** One episode also has Osaka wondering how Westerners live without inside shoes. Specifically, what happens when you step in dog crap and don't realize it.
* ''[[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Haré+Guu|Haré+Guu]]'' references this when Haré points the shoe locker out while playing tour guide to Guu. Naturally the cubbyholes are always empty, since very few of the students actually wear shoes at all.
* This was actually kept in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' dub.
* An example from [[Digimon Frontier|a series that ''doesn't'' take place in school]]: In [[The Big Guy|Junpei's]] flashback, these are spotted.
* In ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'', a dramatic scene where Yuki Nagato {{spoiler|protects Kyon from being killed by Ryoko}} has an interesting floor-level shot where Nagato's name can be seen written on the back of her shoe.
Line 24:
* In ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]'', Lain receives the Psyche chip in her shoe locker.
* Can be seen in ''[[Fruits Basket]]'', in both the manga and the anime.
* [[Full Metal Panic!|Sousuke]] doesn't quite get the message part and has blown up his locker (message included) more than once.
* In volume 1 of [[Ranma One Half½]] Akane is still wearing her indoor shoes when she challenges Kuno, a neat little detail that indicates just how fast she rushed outside to find Ranma after he jumped out the third-story window into the pool. (She did change her shoes in the anime.)
* The [[Gag Dub|English dub]] of ''[[Ghost Stories]]'' has Satsuki demand to know why Hajime hasn't taken his shoes off after he's just rescued her by barging into her house. He replies that there's no time for [[Cultural Translation]] right now.
* The heroine of [[Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo]] is lectured by a hall monitor for not changing into her inside shoes when entering the building. Said hall monitor [[Completely Missing the Point|doesn't bother to lecture her on]] [[Girl Withwith Psycho Weapon|having, by this point, murdered several students with a chainsaw,]] [[Aint No Rule|because that's not in the school regulations]].
* The inside shoes are also frequently seen in ''[[School Rumble]]'' - perhaps even more so than "outside" shoes.
* In one episode of ''[[Hell Girl (Anime)|Hell Girl: The Two Prisoners]]'', the victim of the week is a schoolgirl who is the consistent target of school pranks, which include having thumbtacks put in her inside shoes - which are also scribbled all over with offensive things like "idiot" and "die". Thing is, she does not know who does it until past halfway into the episode.
* ''[[K-On!]]'' has a few not very memorable scenes by the shoe lockers, but paying attention to the color stripes of indoor shoes will alert an astute viewer that {{spoiler|Ui performed a [[Twin Switch]] on the club when her sister was sick. Her shoes' stripe is red, not blue.}} And like the ''Haruhi'' example above, there are a couple of different shots where Yui's name is visible on her shoes.
* In ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'', it's worth noting that when Hikari and Takeru go to the Digital World from the school computer, their footwear changes from this to sneakers.
* In ''[[Hidamari Sketch (Manga)|Hidamari Sketch]]'', after a string of bad things happen to Natsume on her first day, the last thing involves her going to the right number, but the wrong department's, shoe lockers, and finding a pair of shoes already there. She is stymied for a few seconds until Sae points out the right set of lockers, and they hurry to the opening ceremony together. This sets up expectations in Natsume's mind that they might become friends, or even best friends... that are at least delayed as Natsume adopts a standoffish attitude toward her as a result of seeing her with Hiro.
** Also, when Yuno and Miyako are hurrying down the hall, one of Yuno's ''uwabaki'' comes off and slides ahead of Miyako... who picks it up and runs off playfully, prompting Yuno to chase after.
* In ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]'', when Nobue, Matsuri, and Ana sneak into school after hours to get the recorder that Matsuri forgot, they head for the slippers once inside. Miu, who's going in as well to scare them, predicts this and does ''not'' follow this convention, opting instead to set up a scare or two...
* In ''[[GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class (Manga)|GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class]]'', Kisaragi forgets to change back into her normal shoes, and no one mentions it until they get to the bus stop... at which point, she has to go back.
* Numerous episodes of ''[[Detective Conan (Manga)|Detective Conan]]'' show them used both as shoe lockers and as mail drops - often for some school kid asking for the help of the shounen tanteidan.
 
 
== [[Film]] ==
* In ''[[The Fast and Thethe Furious]] Tokyo Drift'', Sean engages in a memorable faux-pas when, out of sheer ignorance, he neglects to put on his ''uwabaki'' on his first day at school.
