Line 44:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Aphorism]]'' the kids hang the dolls upside down to make it rain, since rain prevents the Blight from occurring.
* In ''[[
* Mimi from ''[[Choco Mimi]]'' makes an upside-down one because she wants it to rain. There are also a few other chapters where the characters make Teru Teru Bozu.
* Plays a scarier-than-usual role in a ''[[20th Century Boys]]'' flashback.
Line 53:
** 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 ''[[Squid Girl]]''. (It doesn't work.)
** 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 68 ⟶ 67:
* 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 80 ⟶ 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.
