Not to be confused with [[Supporting Protagonist]], which is simply that the focus is on another character than the hero, or [[Fake Ultimate Hero]], who doesn't appear to be the protagonist.

== Anime and Manga ==
* Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]]''. After Keiichi has been the main character for three arcs spanning the first 13 episodes, his spotlight is taken away for the rest of the season, with three arcs devoted to Akasaka, Shion, and Rena. Then the first episode of the second season focuses on Akasaka and Ooishi. Then we get an arc centered around Satoko. The eventual main character? {{spoiler|Furude Rika}}, a [[True Companions|True Companion]] who had received the least attention prior to the reveal. Keiichi still plays a critical role, though, as a source of inspiration and courage.
