== Anime ==

* The Tendo family, Ryoga, Shampoo and her grandmother, Mousse, Ukyo, Konatsu, and Nodoka in ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma ½]]''.

* ''[[Inuyasha]]'': Kagome's mother, brother and grandfather.

* Misaki in ''[[Futaba Kun Change (Manga)|Futaba Kun Change]]''.

* The characters who know that Kiri is male model, Tatsuki, in ''[[Never Give Up]]'' are her mother, Tohya, and her best friend, Natsu.

** Bruce Wayne is also one of Clark's Secret Keepers (as is Clark for Bruce).

*** Leading to an amusing sequence when Bruce assumed ''Lois'' knew his secret, because he didn't expect Clark to keep secrets from his wife, whereas Clark felt it wasn't his secret to share. By the end of the story Lois has become another of Bruce's Secret Keepers.

** And, of course, Jonathan and Martha Kent, who have been keeping Clark's secret since before he knew about it himself.

** Pete Ross discovered Superman's secret ID back when he was just Superboy during a camping trip. A convenient flash of lightning revealed Clark changing clothes, and Pete kept it secret, not even letting Superboy know that he knew. He once even used his knowledge to become an honorary member of the Legion of Super-Heroes by claiming he had telepathy and knew Superboy's secret ID. Writing the identity on a lead tablet so Superboy couldn't see. Superboy assumed Pete was bluffing and that everyone else was just going along with the joke.

== Live Action TV ==

* Captain Roger Healey on ''[[I Dreamof Jeannie]]''.

** Tyler technically could count as well, except no one would believe him anyway...

* Original Cindy, from ''[[Dark Angel]]''

** As of season 5, there is also amateur profiler Declan Rand and, oddly enough, Curt Smith from Tears for Fears.

* ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'': the first people to discover the Rangers' secret identities were Rocky, Adam, and Aisha, and they pledged to keep them secret. They weren't able to play this role for very long however, as Jason, Zack, and Trini were soon "[[Put On a Bus|sent to a peace conference]]", and Rocky, Adam, and Aisha became their replacements as Rangers.

* The Scoobies are [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy's]] Secret Keepers, but this troper is not sure how "normal" any of them actually are. (Many of the Scoobies start outside the fold as "normals" and eventually get pulled in to Scoobiedom -- Cordelia, Oz, Tara.) Another example would be Joyce after Season 2.

* [[Hannah Montana]]'s secret keepers (aside from Bobby Ray and Jackson) are Lilly and Oliver. Later, there's Jake Ryan, Lilly's mother, Oliver's mother, Officer Daria and his daughter. That is until everyone discovers the fact in the movie.
