Line 29:
* ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano]]!'''s Firo Prochainezo used to be one, being orphaned at age nine (and fatherless before that) and forced to make it on his own in one of New York's seedier neighborhoods. He stumbled into [[The Mafia|the Camorra]] after attempting to pick-pocket one of their higher-ranking executives.
* This is part of [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam (Anime)|Chibodee Crockett]]'s history, before he was scouted by an agent and made it big in boxing.
** Same goes to his [[Four -Girl Ensemble]], whom he specifically took in as he saw his past situation reflected in theirs.
* Garrod Ran from [[After War Gundam X (Anime)|After War Gundam X]]. He tells Tiffa in the second episode that he was at first raised by his widowed father, but then his dad died and found himself completely alone.
* {{spoiler|Meg}} from [[Burst Angel]].
Line 96:
'''Howard:''' You're a French Duke. You lie around in hammocks all day eating soft cheese. }}
* [[El Chavo Del Ocho]]
* Nancy and other kids from the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Empty Child".
* ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'': Jack and Z were street rats at the beginning, and stole food and clothing for the other homeless people.
 
Line 110:
* ''[[Hector Badge of Carnage]]'' episode 2 has Lambert meet one who is living in an abandoned fridge, lost his hand in a shoe shining accident and had it replaced by a hook. After he helps Lambert, Lambert {{spoiler|ends up adopting him.}}
* In ''[[Sampaguita (Visual Novel)|Sampaguita]]'', the 3rd game of the ''[[Yarudora (Visual Novel)|Yarudora]]'' series:
** Main heroine Maria and her adopted older brother Boy were this in their early life in the Philippines. They were doing little jobs such as selling [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasminum_sambac:Jasminum sambac|sampaguita flowers]] in the street crossroads, doing their best to survive. The game treats the player with a [[Flash Back]] of these moments when Maria tells her past to the protagonist, after [[Quest for Identity|she has recovered her memories]] and fallen in love with him.
** A secondary character, Randy Santiago, also tells he was a Filipino street urchin in his younger days, while talking to the protagonist and giving him info about the Philippines.
