* Gendo Ikari from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' seems bound and determined to keep as much of his face obscured as possible -- not only does he wear [[Scary Shiny Glasses]], he's in the habit of [[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive|folding his hands in front of his face]] whenever he sits at a table. Other characters have a strange compulsion to put clipboards or pieces of paper [[Filming for Easy Dub|in front of their mouths whenever they speak]].

* [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Nagato Yuki]] has a very small mouth. It's often invisible except when she's talking (which is [[The Quiet One|very rare indeed]]). Makes it easier to show how she's an [[Emotionless Girl|emotionally-repressed]] [[Artificial Human]].
