== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu from ''[[My Hero Academia]]''. His surname and given name are actually spelled differently in Kanji [http://kansaichick.com/japanese-kanji-blog/the-kanjis-of-tetsutesu-tetsutesu-for-my-hero-academia/].
* Lisa Lisa (real name Elizabeth Joestar) and Magenta Magenta from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]''.
* Excel in ''[[Excel Saga (manga)|Excel Saga]]'' claims her full name in the anime is Excel Excel; it's hard to tell if she is being serious or engaging in hyperbole. The manga clearly defines this and those of other ACROSS members as codenames, and we never find out what her real name is.
* Hinata Hyuga from ''[[Naruto]]'' is a strange anime example. Her first and last name ''mean'' the same thing, and are just said differently.
* Carson D. Carson, crook and erstwhile ally of the ''[[Dirty Pair]]'' from [[The Movie]].
* Yomiko means "Reading Child" in Japanese, and "Readman" speaks for itself. Thus is named the heroine of ''[[Read or Die]]''.
* ''[[Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]''.
* Konoka Konoe of ''[[Negima]]'' (and her grandfather, Konoemon Konoe). Also the old teacher, Takamichi Takahata. At first it can seem like Negi had mispronounced his last name.
* ''[[Ef a Tale of Memories]]'' give us Hirono Hiro and Miyako Miyamura.
Line 35:
* 90% of the cast in [[Kagihime Monogatari]] have this going on.
* Naru Narusegawa of ''[[Love Hina]]''. When calling her "Naru", you never know if it's actually her first name or her last name shortened.
* The American dub of ''[[Dragon Ball]]''
* In ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', the some of the Innovators names, like Regene Regette and Revive Revival.
* Ming Ming from the final season of ''[[Beyblade]]''.
Line 180:
