== [[Advertising]] ==
* In one of the many [[Japandering|wacky Japanese adverts]] Jackie Chan has appeared in he was dressed as a Teru Teru Bozu, suspended from a skyscraper singing the song.
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Aphorism]]'' the kids hang the dolls upside down to make it rain, since rain prevents the Blight from
* In ''[[
* Mimi from ''[[Choco
* Plays a scarier-than-usual role in a ''[[20th Century Boys]]'' flashback.
* A girl in ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' is afraid of these dolls, and of Cherry, who vaguely resembles one.
* In ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'', Miyako suggests making one during the rainy season so that Yuno can finally air out her winter futon and put it away, and then proceeds to make one out of the futon.
** Another time, she realizes she's just washed the stray cat's face, so she hangs a few.
* In one episode of ''[[Sgt Frog]]'', Fuyuki makes a line of upside down ones to make it rain on [[Japanese Holidays|Sports Day]]. Not only does this not work, the next day's forecast is for a 0% chance of rain.
** A chapter of the manga had Fuyuki and Natsumi making ''teru teru bozu'' dolls to stop a rainstorm. Unbeknownst to them, the Keronians start making their own version of the dolls in order to make it ''keep'' raining, since they thrive in wet, humid weather.
* Takeru and Ika Musume make these during a storm in one episode of ''[[
** Ika Musume's are drawn with such horrifying faces - she draws them with such grotesque faces because she keeps focusing on the fact that they get strung up by the neck after they're finished - that when Takeru wakes up to see one in his bedroom, it causes "[[Bring My Brown Pants|a very localized downpour]]".
** She also tries to act as one herself to stop a rainstorm, and when it doesn't work she comes close to going all the way and hanging herself by her tentacles.
* In ''[[Case Closed]]'', Ran and Kazuha make teru teru bozu in an attempt to chase away the rain, but Heiji sabotages their effort by turning them around so they faced inward.
Line 64 ⟶ 62:
* One episode of the [[Kamen Rider Den-O|Imagin Anime]] had Ryuutaro making a room full of these to ensure good weather for a picnic. When it doesn't look like that will work, he is given a gigantic bear shaped one.
* In ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', Chiyo says she'll make these for luck for [[Japanese Holidays|Sports Day]], but Osaka tries to predict weather with her shoe, instead, so we don't find out if she followed through. (It was sunny, though.)
** In the manga, they're more into wanting it to rain on Sports Day for the second year. After a series of convoluted leaps of logic, they figure that hanging ''Chiyo'' out the window would have the same effect, so hanging her upside-down by her ankles would logically bring bad weather. They do so (and we learn that she wears [[Modesty Shorts]] under her skirt). It's still clear the next day.
* In ''[[Fairy Tail]]'', Juvia before her [[Heel Face Turn]] had one on her dress because of her being [[Blessed with Suck]] constantly raining around her.
* "[[Kanamemo]]" has the girls at the newspaper delivery office take to making a whole bunch of Teru Teru Bozu to ward off an incoming typhoon. {{spoiler|They make the last one out of a large raincoat and rope...which freaks out a drunk passerby who, seeing only its silhouette at night, [[Suicide as Comedy|mistakes it for a person hanging himself.]] Or rather, the ghost of a person who hung himself.}}
* In ''[[Tamayura]]: Hitotose'', in the [[Festival Episode]], Fuu, Norie and Maon go to visit Kaoru to check why she wasn't able to meet with them. They find her tying up a rather large Teru Teru Bozu with an (inexplicably) ''scary face'' made by Kaoru's sister. Then all four of them decide to make each her own Teru Teru Bozu and, of course, each of them gives it ''her own'' face and "hairstyle".
== [[Live
* In a [[Dorama]] called ''With Love'', one of the main characters used the screen name of Teru Teru Bozu and those played some sort of important role to her and her lover.
Line 81 ⟶ 79:
* The Stage 3 boss of ''[[Parodius]]''.
=== [[Visual Novels]] ===
* One of the TIPS in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' show Rika hanging a Teru Teru Bozu upside down in order to call in some rain. She's doing this because she's getting tired of the same sunshine {{spoiler|[[Groundhog Day Loop|that's happening over and over again]]}} during the summer. In her mother's eyes, however, this comes off as one of Rika's [[Creepy Child]] moments after Rika tells her mother why she wants them hung upside down.
