== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Ogami Itto from ''[[Lone Wolf and Cub]]''.
* Shu from ''[[
* ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' is adamant about not giving any of its characters any [[Character Development]] whatsoever beyond their one "unique" trait.
** Sort of. Nozomu underwent a sort of reverse [[Flanderization]] as he tries to commit suicide less as time went by and has his [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|heart of gold]] emphasized more. In contrast, Chiri retained her OCD, but had it dialed past eleven and straight into [[Ax Crazy]] levels.
* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' has Ed and Ein, contrasting the more dynamic main trio. Jet is also arguably rather static as he goes through several instances of cleaning up his own past without it affecting his current outlook and lifestyle.
* ''[[Bleach]]'' has a tendency to do this to anyone who isn't important, making them into this, [[Flat Character]]s, or monsters. However, it's subverted with some of the Arrancar {{spoiler|except the fact that they never get to do ''[[
* Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane from [[Naruto]] do not change a bit in the series. While nearly every major character in Konohagakure has the Will of Fire, the two are more militant and only concern themselves with protecting the actual village itself, and often lean in favor of Danzo's view points. Their static status is possibly due to their little interaction with other characters (aside from Hiruzen, Danzo, Tsunade, Shizune, and Itachi) and the fact that Naruto has yet to influence them like everyone else he has come in contact yet.
* Suzy Mizuno from [[Zatch Bell]] is a prime example, seeing as how she remains a [[Cloudcuckoolander|ditz]] throughout the whole series, while receiving no character development or any involvement in the Mamodo battles.
Line 82:
* Soundwave of ''[[Transformers]]'' fame, especially in the show ''[[Transformers Prime]]'', where his status as [[The Voiceless]] (not to mention [[The Faceless]]) and well nigh [[The Stoic|emotionless]] listener adds a lot to his creepy factor. Although [[Word of God]] states this might be subject to change.
* There is very little character development in [[Code Lyoko]] to begin with aside from Aelita, Jeremy and (surprisingly) Sissi, but Odd is a particularly [[Egregious]] example. He [[Big Eater|eats a lot]], he dates a lot, and he [[So Unfunny It's Funny|makes bad jokes]]. And that never changes.
* [[The Stoic|Sergeant Cosgrove]] from ''[[Freakazoid!]]!'' is mostly this, until you realize that he is the sole character in the series capable of calming down the [[Cloudcuckoolander|manic superhero]].
