* ''Fanfic/DanganronpaKommSusserTod'': [[spoiler:[[SweetBaker The cheerful Ultimate Baker Nanae Mochizuki]] [[KillTheCutie becomes the seventh to die in the Killing Game once she is executed in Chapter 3]]]].

* A section of the Tōkaidō Road in the Hakone region in Japan's Kanagawa prefecture is nicknamed ''Nanamagari'', being a combination of "Nana" (Seven') and 'Magari' (a form of the verb 'Magaru', which means 'to bend') which refers to the main seven consecutive hairpins on the course. This mountain road is featured during the Fifth Stage of ''Anime/InitialD'', as well as being featured as a course in the "VideoGame/InitialDArcadeStage" series starting from ''7 AAX''.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManXCommandMission'' has a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Reploid]] named Nana (pictured above) as your MissionControl, with the number seven displayed prominently on each of her breasts.

It's worth noting that 7 is [[LuckyNumberSeven considered a lucky number in Japanese]]. ''Nana'' is sometimes used as a feminine name with possible double meaning. If a character appears with the name Nana, expect it to be a MeaningfulName.

When counting in Japanese, ''shichi'' is the typical word used for the number 7. However, in normal conversation, you will almost never encounter a Japanese person say ''shichi'' in any other context. The problem lies in the fact that Japanese people don't actually like the word ''shichi'', as it sounds too similar to ''shi'', the counting word for 4, which also [[FourIsDeath sounds like the word for death]]. Being a superstitious people, the Japanese really, ''really'' hate invoking death every time they count -- and the fact that it sounds almost like the word for 1, ''ichi'', doesn't help.

''Nana'' is one pronunciation for the number 7 in the Japanese language, and is the one more commonly used. In anime and manga, it's sometimes used as a feminine name with possible double meaning. If a character appears with the name Nana, expect it to be a MeaningfulName.

Keep in mind, however, that if you want to describe seven ''things'', seven ''objects'', or seven ''people'' then you'll be using different words entirely. [[GoroawaseNumber Yeah... Japanese is hard]].

* Satou invokes this in ''LightNovel/DeathMarchToTheParallelWorldRhapsody''. When he rescues/inherits eight identical busty blonde homunculi, the one designated "Number 7" wins the right to travel with Satou and his companions. Satou, being a self-confirmed GiverOfLameNames, decides to call her "Nana" -- much to the chagrin of his fellow Japanese reincarnate.

* The charts of Nana Abe's image song "Märchen Debut!" in ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls Starlight Stage'' all have note counts ending in 77.
** In the 2018 Cinderella Girls popularity poll, Nana garnered the most votes, thus being crowned the ''seventh'' Cinderella Girl.
