** Cherry from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''.
** Yukari Godai from ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]''.
Line 20:
*** Lampshaded ''again'' when Happôsai explains why he can't hit the pressure points on Hinako to nullify her [[Energy Absorption]] power: it involves hitting points on her front and back simultaneously and his arms are too short to do that.
*** As well as Cologne and Happôsai, ''Ranma ½'' has other Miniature Senior Citizens as well. The manga has Happôsai's old partner/rival Lukkosai, who has managed to get himself a [[Fountain of Youth|Jusenkyô Spring of Drowned Child curse]]. The anime has Happôsai's old friend Chingensai, who basically looks like Happôsai with a massive head of brown hair that, coupled with his thick beard/moustach, covers his whole head, and a trio of unnamed others who show up in an early seventh season episode.
*** Finally, a [[Filler]] episode in the first season gives us Kin Ono, the diminutive mother of [[Brother Chuck|Dr. Tôfû Ono]]. Unlike these others, she's only a "normal" old person, about 60 or so, but she seems to have been fairly tiny even when she was a young girl.
** Also lampshaded in ''[[Inuyasha]]'', in which Miyoga is smaller than the younger characters for a reason—he's a flea. Kikyo's sister Kaede and Kagome's grandfather are also both shorter than most of the rest of the cast, although with somewhat more realistic proportions.
* ''[[The Slayers]]'' has, in at least Slayers NEXT (the second season of the anime), Auntie Aqua, a little old woman who's barely waist-high on Amelia. She turns out to be {{spoiler|the last remaining fragment of the soul of the Water Dragon King, one of the five gods who serve the Dragon God Ceiphied}}.
* An elderly woman from an episode of ''[[Burn Up|Burn Up Excess]]'' plays this trope straight, all while harassing Rio.
* Grandma Hina in ''[[Love Hina]]''.
* Sana's grandmother in ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]''.
Line 29:
** It should be noted that in the manga, Pinako appears in a photograph with Hohenheim and really is a great deal taller.
*** This is also true in the ''Brotherhood''-exclusive [[Clip Show]] / [[Dream Sequence]] episode.
* Rei's grandfather from the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' anime provides this page's image. (He is shown to be quite dapper in the manga.)
* ''[[Samurai 7]]''{{'}}s village elder, and Kirara's grandmother, are both Miniature Senior Citizens.▼
▲* ''[[Samurai 7]]'''s village elder, and Kirara's grandmother, are both Miniature Senior Citizens.
* Torogai in ''[[Seirei no Moribito]]''.
* Genkai in ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' (Although like Yoda, she is seen in flashbacks to have always been that height.)
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* ''[[Black Butler]]'': Most of the time, Tanaka is this way, unless he's doing exposition.
* Master Makarov of the eponymous mage guild ''[[Fairy Tail]]''. Ironically, one of his more used magic abilities, Titan, lets him turn into a giant. A flashback in the anime show he was short even in his youth and another in the manga showed he was short by the time he was about forty, but neither was as short as he was in the present.
* Hikari's grandmother in ''[[Amanchu!]]'' is a mild case, but she's still quite a bit smaller than Hikari, who isn't that tall herself.
* Fuu's grandmother in ''[[Tamayura]]'' certainly counts.
* Touhou Fuhai from ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' is {{spoiler|a subversion. He looks like one at first, but that's only his [[Sleep Mode Size]] body. He's actually a [[Really 700 Years Old]] [[Bishonen]]}}.
