Line 16:
** Cherry from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''.
** Yukari Godai from ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]''.
** Cologne and Happôsai from ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma One Half½]]''. Lampshaded in a flashback which showed that Cologne was normal height in the past but Happôsai was a younger version of what he looks like now. In Cologne's flashback, anyway. In Happôsai's flashback, he was tall and extremely pretty. Although it's much easier to believe Cologne than [[Unreliable Narrator|Happôsai]].
*** The anime lampshades this in a different way; one episode has them travel to the past when Happôsai and Cologne were teens themselves. Happôsai tries to claim to have been a tall, blond [[Bishonen]], but nobody believes him and, to nobody's surprise, the 18-year-old Happôsai turns out to be an ugly little dwarf. Cologne then claims that a beautiful, dark blue-haired girl sweeping in the village is ''her'' past self. Ranma outright tells her to make her lies more believable, and Cologne promptly proves that, yes, that really ''is'' her younger self. In the English dub, this nets a dumbfounded "Oh my god!" from all of the others present, even Shampoo herself.
**** In [[Hot Amazon|Shampoo]]'s case it's probably more like, "OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO END UP LOOKING LIKE A RAISIN!"
Line 46:
* 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 to+ 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]]}}.
* Shiho's grandfather Jin from ''[[Mai-HiME]]'' is almost as short as she is.
* Ueda's mother in ''[[Japan Inc]]''.
