The high amount of [[Shout -Out|Shout Outs]] is unsurprising due to [[Katawa Shoujo]]'s origin from [[Image Boards|4chan]].
----
 
* The class overview CG is a good start. Contains at least [[Valkyrie Profile|Lezard]], [[To Heart 2|Ikuno]], and [[Suzumiya Haruhi no Seitenkan (Fanfic)|gender-bent Haruhi]]. The original release of Act 1 has also [[Code Geass|Lelouch]] but he was taken out in the full release, replaced with a more generic-looking guy. [[Word of God|The official blog]] has confirmed another: [[K-On!|Ritsu]]. She was intended to be an original character, but by sheer coincidence resembled Ritsu when K-ON finally aired. Rather than change the design, the developers performed a "retcameo".
** Also, the chubby guy in the top right corner looks a bit like [[Family Guy|Peter Griffin]], but it's probably unintentional.
* Tea house Shanghai was originally supposed to be a [[Higurashi]] reference, but the devs quickly backtracked and made it a [[Touhou]] one instead.
* After a conversation with Kenji, Hisao mentions a book he's reading a book about "an underground postal system that may or may not exist", a reference to [[Thomas Pynchon|The Crying Of Lot 49]].
* When Hisao wonders if he's [[Only Sane Man]], Kenji says that ''he's'' the only sane man in the school, and as a certain foreign film puts it, "[[Highlander (Film)|there can only be one!]]"
** It's also possible Kenji was referring to Jet Li's [[The One (Filmfilm)|"The One"]], which has a similar premise.
* Hanako is reading a book about "a boy and a tiger on a boat". This is [[Life of Pi]]. If you don't scare Hanako away in the library, she'll even namedrop it. At one point, Hanako also reads "Dance Dance Dance" by Haruki Murakami.
* If you join the student council, [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Misha will clap and repeat the word "Congratulations!".]] Hisao [[Lampshading|points out how needlessly repetitious this is]], but he doesn't get the reference.
Line 15:
* If you help Lilly's class with painting, in the background you can see part of the world map from the latter part of [[Code Geass|Code Geass R2]].
** In the Tanabata CG with Misha and Shizune, you can see [[Code Geass|C.C.]] in the background at one of the stalls.
* This might be stretching it, but Rin does mention Lilly using [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini|golden butterflies to spy on people.]] Thank god there aren't any [[Memetic Mutation|"ahaha.wav"]] soundclips in Katawa Shoujo.
* Even Hisao believes that [[Poor Predictable Rock]] is [[The Simpsons|unbeatable]].
* Kenji ends one of his rants by saying [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|"And the future refused to change."]]
* When talking to Hanako about a certain book series, Hisao recommends she read the original book, but warns her that the sequels aren't nearly as good. However, he does concede that "[[Dune|The God Emperor]]" is pretty good.
* During a train ride, Lily mentions that the book she's reading is ''[[And Then There Were None]]''.
Line 28:
* In Hanako's animated interlude between Acts 1 and 2, Hisao is carrying ''The Setting Sun'' by Osamu Dazai.
* Emi's route contains a scene in which you get the option to press her for more information or let it rest. [[Ace Attorney|It should be obvious what the reference is.]]
* Kenji mentions at one point, "She's like the [[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation|Picard]] to my [[Star Trek: theThe Original Series|Kirk]], or even the [[Star Trek: Voyager|Janeway!]]"
* "Like [[Braveheart|that movie]] about the life of William Wallace, where they took his stuff but not his freedom, and then they killed him."
* [[Super Smash Bros|No glasses. No napkins. Whiskey only.]] [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|The beverage of true men.]] And Kenji said that while {{spoiler|Hisao is heading for his literal Final Destination (the rooftop where [[Have a Nice Death|he'll fall down and die]])}}
Line 34:
* In Emi's route, Mutou, hoping to inspire a love for science in Hisao, offers him [[Stephen Hawking|"A Brief History of Time."]]
** In Lilly's route a scene in act 2 has the title [[Punny Name|A brief history of]] ''[[Punny Name|thyme]]''
* Kenji states at some point: "You're already spending less time here. That's the first thing they do. They'll try to split us up. Divide and conquer. [[The Art of War|Sun Tzu said that."]] It is possibly a reference to the [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Soldier.]]
* In Emi's route, Kenji asks that Hisao deliver his [[Watchmen|hidden journal to the media]] if something should happen to him.
** Said journal is hidden in the [[Death Note (Manga)|false bottom of one of his desk drawers]].
* When Hisao asks why Kenji is collecting items to maintain a fallout shelter in Hanako's route, Kenji praises him for being familiar with the [[wikipedia:Protect and Survive|Protect and Survive]] booklets.
* The [[Written Sound Effect|WrittenSoundEffects]] during Hisao and Emi's pillow fight are most likely inspired by the old [[Batman (TV series)|Batman]] TV series. WHAM! BIFF! SOCK!
* When Hisao's in Rin's room for the first time, she says the line "Are you going on some [[Mulan|training camp where they make men out of boys?]] Or mountaintop meditation?"
* The chapter in Emi's route when Hisao has dinner at the Ibarazaki house is called "[[Guess WhosWho's Coming to Dinner|Guess Who's Coming]]... Never Mind".
* The description of the second-to-last chapter in Emi's good ending is "Sex, drugs, but no rock 'n roll".
* Apparently, Kenji tried to send a letter to [[LEGO]] in order to get them to make [[DragonballDragon Ball]] themed Lego at age 8, and apparently got a response that they couldn't get the rights to make it.
* Hisao tells Kenji that Shizune has the habit of lifting her glasses just like he does, so naturally he concludes that she ''must'' be copying him and screams that she could be one of [[Invasion of the Body Snatchers|those pod people]].
* In Shizune's path, Kenji also mentions [[Sex and Thethe City]] during one of his crazy rants against feminism.
* Hisao's thoughts in Shizune's route: "I [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/card-crusher crush the note in my fist dramatically], but no one is there to see it, and that makes me sad".
* Early on, Hisao says that when they heard about his arrhythmia, his parents "practically had two hemorrhages apiece," a reference to ''[[The Catcher in The Rye (Literature)|The Catcher in The Rye]]'', in which Holden says something similar about his parents in the first chapter.
* One of the late scenes in Emi's route is entitled, "[[Overdrawn Atat the Memory Bank|Hooray for]] [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)|Socks]]".
* One scene in Hanako's path is called "[[Fullmetal Alchemist|Equivalent Exchange]]".
* On Lilly's path, Hisao makes a comment about her making "[[Noir (Animeanime)|a pilgrimage to the past]]".
* There's even some likely references to [[TV Tropes]], such as one of Kenji's rants using the phrase "[[Beyond the Impossible]]."
* Rin mentions that naming her art "unnamed" is still a name, "[[The Odyssey (Literature)|Like that Greek guy with the sheep]]".
* Mutou bears more than a passing resemblance to [[Doctor Who (TV)|the Tenth Doctor]], and seems to think in the same general way all incarnations do.
* Misha quotes [[John F Kennedy|President Kennedy]] at one point during Shizune's path. "Ask not what your school can do for you...but what you can do for your school!" This is possibly a hint towards her fondness of American culture.
