* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' most of the Kages are only addressed by their title preceeded by their place, and it's often shorten to the place (e.g. Third Hokage, shortened to "The Third"), though Tsunade is still called by name occasionally. We eventually find out what the other four Hokage's names were, in order [[spoiler:Hashirama Senju]], [[spoiler:Tobirama Senju]] (both sort of a spoiler), Hiruzen Sarutobi (who's family name was referred to by Orochimaru, but his given named wasn't revealed until the release of [[AllThereInTheManual a databook]] that came out nearly ''a decade'' after the series started and isn't used in series until even later), and [[spoiler:Minato Namikaze.]]
** Almost every ninja in Naruto refers to the Kage of their village or another village by their title. even Kages refer to each other this way.
** This also holds true to the tailed beasts. Everyone refers to them by the number of their tails (Ex: Naruto's tailed beast is the Kyuubi), the sole exception to this is Gaara's tailed beast, introduced in the first season as Shukaku. It turns out that all tailed beasts have names, all of them just recently revealed. The only tailed beast that still adheres to this trope is the Jubi or the ten tail.

* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', the Kages are addressed primarily by their title, which is often shortened to the ordinal (e.g. "Third Hokage" becomes "Third"), though they're still occasionally called by their actual names. Even the Kages themselves refer to each other primarily by title; apart from Tsunade and Gaara, we don't find out the names of the other post-TimeSkip Kages until quite some time after their initial appearance.
