Salaryman: Difference between revisions

* Raizo in ''[[Living Game]]'' starts out as a random salaryman. Eventually his company goes out of business and he has to work construction instead.

* The whole premise of the anime ''[[Dai-Guard]]'' is actually the phrase "office workers saving the world" (by means of the [[Power Trio|protagonists]] and their corporate-owned [[Real Robot|giant mecha]]). This status does nothing to help their paychecks, of course.

* "Kaishounachi" (not his real name, but an epithet roughly translating to "Useless Bum"), boyfriend of Ebichu's owner the O.L., in ''Oruchuban Ebichu (Ebichu Minds the House)''.

* In ''REC'', Matsumaru is an ordinary salaryman (he's an up-and-rising copyrighter who pitched a couple of successful advertising campaigns for a snack-food maker, and was made to work ''even harder'' for that) who falls in love with an aspiring voice actress.

* The protagonist of the [[Wii Ware]] game ''Tomena Sanner''. With [[Le Parkour]] aspects.

* One of the zombies in ''[[Plants vs. Zombies]]'' has this appearance, using an open newspaper as a shield. Once the newspaper is destroyed by your plants' attacks, he gets angry (the game's bestiary says he was working intently on a Sudoku puzzle) and runs toward your house at a faster movement speed than the one at which he was running pre-paper shred. However, when the paper's gone, he has about the same health as your standard zombie and will go down quickly before your plants.

* The Businessman and Office Lady trainer classes in ''[[Pokémon]] Black and White'' are based on this.

* ''Salary Man Champ'' is based upon salarymen trying get as high in career ladder as they can.
