* Mikoto in ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'' loves hot springs so much that she can track them down by scent. For a while, this was her only defining character trait.

* ''[[Ranma ½]]'' has a few characters which exhibit this trait to one degree or another. Ukyo Kuonji is a mild case, having built her life around being an okonomiyaki chef and even creating a martial art using the implements of her craft. (As noted below in ''Fan Works'', fanfic writers frequently turn this [[Up to Eleven]] when writing her.) And then there's Azusa Shiratori, a one-shot character from early in the story who is obsessed with all things [[Kawaii|cute]]; given half a chance, she will steal anything that catches her eye, give it a French name, and then insist from that point on that it is her property. About the ''only'' thing she cares about other than cute stuff is her ice skating.
