Practically every single known female character, excluding the occasional [[Token Mini-Moe]] [[Pettanko]], is unquestionably big-breasted. Whether they be skinny, average, muscular or chubby, female characters have larger-than-average breasts. This is especially evident when there is a wide-range of body types, and the only common feature is a large bust. |

This can be [[Enforced]] in Video Games where [[You All Look Familiar|everyone looks familiar]] because they all use the same model. If one female NPC has large breasts, ''all'' female NPCs have them. Particuarly common in MMORPGs. |

This is '''not''' about a lot of large-breasted women. This is where over 90% of the female cast shown has large knockers, making it seem like this body type is the '''norm''' rather than a slightly uncommon occurrence (as in [[Real Life]]). |

* ''[[Godannar]]'' is a glaring example. Most of the non-pilot cast are clearly Japanese citizens, and yet not one of the girls go below "large" in terms of size, except [[Pettanko]] Lou Roux. Even when she appears on the [[Distant Finale]] she's still [[Pettanko|flat]] (or at least average sized in real life), despite being 20 at the time. |

* [[Lupin III]] does [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Zig Zag]] with this as in some features Fujiko the resident [[Ms. Fanservice]] is the only buxom lady in the story (or in certain cases the only female character in the story) and in other Lupin the 3rd features play this trope straight. |

* ''[[Eiken]]'' (page picture) has every girl over toddler age absurdly overgifted in the bust department to the point it's ridiculous. Add in so much [[gainaxing]] it should be lethal, and even fans of this trope may wonder if the creator went too far. |

* [[Angel Blade]]: Besides the recurring characters, every single one of the dozen-plus nameless female extras that are victimized by the villains are unrealistically buxom by ''Western'' standards, let alone Japan's. |

* ''[[Girl Genius]]''. Every single woman—including the robots—has a huge chest. There is a grand total of ''one'' exception (other than children, of course), in Doctor Sun's grand-daughter. And even she would be considered decent size in any other work. |
