History Main / EnterEponymous

* The first mission in ''VideoGame/StarFox 64'' is called "Enter Starfox" and the mission that introduces Star Wolf is called "Enter Star Wolf".

* {{Anime/Pokemon}}:
** Japan has used "Enter Champion Shirona" (Cynthia) and "Enter Contest Master Mikuri" (Wallace). In between those episodes, the episode for Ash's first confrontation with the region's villainous team was called "Their Name is Team Galaxy" in Japan while the dub went with "Enter Galactic".

** Also, the BW episode that introduces Iris is called "Enter Iris and Axew" in the dub.

* ''Series/TheLoneRanger'': The first episode is titled "Enter the Lone Ranger", showing the age of this trope.

In anime, this can instead be "''sono na wa''", "His Name Is". ([[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant No, not that]] HisNameIs.) Related to ICommaNoun.

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has a few of those: "Enter Mousse! The Fist of the White Swan", "Enter Ryōga! The Eternal 'Lost Boy'", "Enter Kunō, the Night-Prowling Knight" and "Enter Gosunkugi, the New Rival!?", as well as "Enter Shampoo, the Gung-Ho Girl!"

* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' dub examples: episodes [[Anime/DigimonAdventure 1.40]], "Enter the Dark Masters" and [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 2.1]], "Enter Flamedramon."
* ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'' uses this in episode titles quite a bit, at least at first.
* The 17th chapter of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' is titled "Her Name is Evangeline".

* Played for laughs in ''Anime/CardfightVanguard'': "Enter the Ninja Fighter", followed by "Ninja Fighter Withdraws".
* ''VideoGame/{{Medabots}}'': "Enter Rintaro".
* ''Anime/ParanoiaAgent'': In English, the title of episode 1 is "Enter Lil' Slugger". This is an approximation of the Japanese title, "''Shōnen Batto Sanjō!''" or "''Shounen Bat Appears!''"

* ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'' did it repeatedly. First they had "His Name Is [=ChoRyuJin=]", then later "His name is [=GekiRyuJin=]".

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' subverted this translation pattern: ''Sono na wa Epyon'' became the ominously prophetic-sounding ''And Its Name Is Epyon'' in the English dub.

* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' had [[SpoilerTitle "His Name is Cell"]] right after the standard "Who is this new threat" at the end of the previous episode.

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has a few of those: "Enter Mousse! The Fist of the White Swan", "Enter Ryōga! The Eternal 'Lost Boy'", "Enter Kun#333;, the Night-Prowling Knight" and "Enter Gosunkugi, the New Rival!?", as well as "Enter Shampoo, the Gung-Ho Girl!"

* The official English title for ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf: Joys of Seasons'' episode 16 is "Enter the Little Inventor". The "little inventor" in question is Weslie, who has to build an invention for his schoolwork in that episode.

* "Enter Sandman" by Music/{{Metallica}}. Several sports teams at various levels use the song as entrance music, but the imagery of the eponymous figure is probably most invoked by the [[UsefulNotes/{{Baseball}} the New York Yankees]]'s PA system blaring this song whenever Mariano Rivera (arguably the best closer[[note]]A relief pitcher who specializes in getting the last three outs of the ballgame when the team holds a small lead. Most pitchers do not last more than two or three seasons as a team's closer - "Mo" was the Yankees' closer for 17 seasons before his retirement in 2013.[[/note]] of all time) literally enters the game from the bullpen.

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' episode 4, which features the debut of Zero, is called "His Name Is [[MyHeroZero Zero]]". Interestingly, if you look at the first five episode titles, they all introduce the main characters in a similar way - "The Day a New Demon Was Born" (Lelouch, getting his geass); "The White Knight Awakens" (Suzaku, getting the [[SuperPrototype Lancelot]]); "The False Classmate" (Kallen); "His Name is Zero"; and "The Princess and the Witch" (Euphemia and C.C.). From this, it seems as if they're introducing Zero as a separate character. He ends up becoming a symbol that goes beyond who's behind the mask, but it's particularly poignant if you consider the ending of the series.

* ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'': Scar's last episode. Its title is "His Name is [[NoNameGiven Unknown]]".

* ''WesternAnimation/XMen: The Animated Series'' had "Enter Magneto".

* ''Series/{{Dynasty}}'' had "Enter Alexis".

* ''VideoGame/SpyroEnterTheDragonfly''

** Suffice to say, the Japanese titles do this a lot. During the show's long history, this format has also been used for the first appearances of the Squirtle Squad, Bruno, Drake's Dragonite, Gligarman, Morty, Dr. Abby, The Phantom Masked Coordinator, Savannah, the other Drake, Fantina and Jun.

* The first episode of ''Radio/TheLoneRanger'' is titled "Enter the Lone Ranger", showing the age of this trope.

* ''Manga/{{Magi}}'' uses this in episode titles quite a bit, at least at first.
