Line 37:
* In ''[[FLCL]]'', the main character, Naota, sprouts nekomimi for an episode. {{spoiler|Of course, they prove to be nothing but part of a monster slowly emerging from Naota's head.}}
** ... though as they are sensitive to touch (making for some quite good [[Unusual Euphemism|euphemism fodder]]), {{spoiler|"nothing but"}} is something of an overstatement.
* Ropponmatsu 2 from ''[[Excel Saga (

* The Rehda in ''[[
* Fran from ''[[
* The Chiesters in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro
** They *somewhat* act like radio receivers, and are susceptible to <s>EMI</s> particle jamming. Why are they rendered as bunny ears? [[MST3K Mantra|Don't ask, just roll with it]].
*** Why? It makes perfect sense to us older people. The twin extendible antennae you used to use to pick up TV channels before cable were called "Rabbit ears" in English. Thus...

Line 83:
* Len in ''[[Tsukihime|Kagetsu Tohya]]'' as well as a handful of other non-human characters such as Seven/Nanako.
* Any ''[[City of Heroes]]'' character can have cat ears, and the normal human ears only "go away" if you hide them.
* A few characters in ''[[Trinity Universe (
* The first thing Kagome's mom says when ''[[Inuyasha]]'' busts into Kagome's house to drag her back to the feudal era is not "Who are you?" or "Where are you taking my daughter?" or even "Why are you dressed like that?" It's "Your ears; are they real?" whilst reaching up and touching them. (tweak tweak!)
** Kagome did the same thing upon seeing him, though he was still sealed and stuck to the tree at the time.
*** As does Kagome's little brother; it appears to be something of a family thing.

* In ''[[Galaxy Angel (
* Horo from ''[[Spice and Wolf]]'' has wolf ears and a tail, but this is somewhat [[Justified Trope|justified]] as she's a wolf-god. However, that doesn't change the fact that they look more like they belong to a fox (being red-orange with white fluffy tips).
** When you see her in full wolf form, her fur pattern is distinctly different from fox's, despite of sharing similar ears and tail, which are the same as on her humanoid form.
* The Harpie Ladies in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]!'' usually have jigokumimi-type ears. However, when Harpie's Feather Duster is played, they sprout extra wings and get winglike ears.

Line 131:
== Anime & Manga ==
* Nuku Nuku from ''[[
* Chachamaru and Chachazero from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. In Chachamaru's case, most people don't seem to take enough notice of it [[Paper-Thin Disguise|to figure out that she's a robot]].
* Rag from ''[[Astro Boy]]''.
Line 143:
== Video Games ==
* Multi from ''[[To Heart]]''.
* The protagonist {{spoiler|Quote}} and Curly Brace from ''[[
