Line 19:
* In ''[[Lucky Star]]'', the girls talk about the tying of the obi. Kagami's assumption was that Miyuki had tied it herself, but instead, the person at the store tied it. Konata's obi was tied by her father, a fact which disturbs Tsukasa.
* Saotome Nodoka in '' [[Ranma ½]]'' almost always wears a kimono, and is a walking parody of the [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] archetype.
** Kyouko from ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'': [http://digilander.libero.it/bertimaurizio/MI/anime/MI96-02.jpg wedding kimono]. Akane from ''[[Ranma ½]]'': [http://members.fortunecity.es/lamia/imagenes/ranma-akane.jpg western wedding dress]{{Dead link}}. Three guesses which one is the [[Cute Bruiser]] and which one is the [[Yamato Nadeshiko]].
** However, Akane is forced into [http://www.anymanga.com/ranma/037/001/008/ a wedding kimono] earlier on in the arc. It's not until later that she willingly dons a western wedding dress.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko|Ichiki]] from ''[[Nabari no Ou]]'' is always seen wearing a traditional kimono.
* Japan of ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', [[Moe Anthropomorphism|quite]] [[Yamato Nadeshiko|fittingly]], is often seen wearing a yukata and once cleans his house [[Wholesome Crossdresser|while wearing traditionally female kimono and apron wear]]. Needless to say, fans love to break out the [[Kimono Fanservice]] for him in fanworks.
Line 30:
* The kimono is standard garb for Nozomu Itoshiki, the despairing teacher in [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]. Also for his stalker, Matoi Tsunetsuki, since she always dresses like her current love.
* [[Reincarnation|Katakura Kojuurou]] in ''[[Gate 7]]'' is always showed wearing a kimono and hakama ''and'' [[Up to Eleven|uchikake.]]
* ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'': Having been brought up in "Kyoto style" by a wealthy family, it's unusual for Aoi to not wear kimono. She also conforms to a very traditional view of her role in life... which sets off the entire plot when her pre-arranged marriage is called off.
