== Anime and Manga ==

* Nozomu Itoshiki of ''[[Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'' turns out to be from a traditional and wealthy family, complete with their own doinker.

* Used immediately to show the wealth of the Shishidou household in ''[[Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo]]''. And we do mean "immediately" - it's the very first shot in the anime.

* The powerful Kannagi family in ''[[Kaze no Stigma (Light Novel)|Kaze no Stigma]]'' have one.

* There's one in ''[[Shugo Chara]]'' when Amu goes to Tadase's house.

*** Genuinely enormous ones also appear in several other areas of the game, serving as switches to open doors. (Though in their case, it's more of a BOOM than a doink.)

* In ''[[Animal Crossing]],'' you can get a "deer scare" as a piece of furniture. It makes the little doink sound, as is seen in a few different layouts in the residents' houses. Goes with the stone lanterns and mossy rocks of the "Zen Garden" ensemble.

* In ''[[Mystical Ninja|Goemon's Great Adventure]]'' for the N64, there was one area (Frog Mountain) that used a giant one of these as the fork in the road (one route behind it, one route above it doubling back) -- however, you wouldn't know it unless you bothered to go all the way to the end of the giant thing, which conveniently enough went off-screen.

* The [[PS 2]] music/rhythm game ''Unison'' has its lead female characters dancing to a traditional Japanese ''enka'' song called "[[Yo Sa Ku]]". The establishing shot of the performance hall shows one of these underneath a statue of an Eastern dragon.
