Line 92:
* Gemini Saga, from ''[[Saint Seiya]]''. The specifics are never made terribly clear (i.e we don't know exactly how it developed and came to exist), but basically it takes hold of him and causes him to {{spoiler|murder and impersonate the Pope (not, not [[The Pope|that Pope]]) for a number of years and generally act like a self-entitled asshole.}}
* Irabu-sensei from ''Kuuchu Buranko'' has a total of three personalities: Stuffed Animal one, who acts silly and childish, Child one, who acts more serious and snarky, and Adult one, who is something inbetween but leans closer to Animal one.
* Lisianthus of ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'' absorbed the soul of her unborn sister while still in the womb. The two take turns being the dominant personality. In the original visual novel she has no name but is known as Reverse Sia. Giving her the name Kikyo becomes a plot point.
* ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'': An interesting subversion with Alexiel and Setsuna. Setsuna is (currently) the dominant persona while Alexiel steps occasionally as his [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Superpowered Badass Side]] whenever he's in over his head. Although each has a completely [[Idiot Hero|different]] [[Lady of War|character]], Setsuna still occasionally echoes some of Alexiel's words and personality, proving that they really are the same person deep down.
* What about mild-mannered Negishi from ''[[Detroit Metal City]]'', whose alternate personality Johannes Krauser II is the badass and feared leater of a Death Metal band?
* Gaia/Nomura from ''[[Baki the Grappler]]''.

** There is a related condition - a mental event known as "disassociative fugue" - where the sufferer loses a large chunk of their history and wanders off with no idea of who they are. Some documented cases have established themselves in a completely different life from the one that they left. And it can occur ideopathically and spontaneously - i.e. ''with no known cause and with no warning''. Fugue ''tends'' to be associated with some form of traumatic event, but doesn't have to be. [[Nightmare Fuel|Scared yet?]] Fortunately, it's very, very, ''very'' rare.
* The "Society of Mind" hypothesis states that all humans are [[Mind Hive]]s.
* Gaia/Nomura from ''[[Baki the Grappler]]''.
