20	* Miyako Miyazaki ("Miya-Miya") of ''Manga/BambooBlade''.
21	* Kousuke Kanzaki from ''Manga/{{Barakamon}}''.
22	* ''Anime/BeybladeBurst''’s first season has all of the characters' Beyblade spinning tops follow this trend (i.e Victory Valtryek, Raging Roktavor, Storm Spryzen, etc).
23	* ''Manga/BGataHKei'' represents with Mayu Miyano, Kazuki Kosuda, Mami Misato, Kyouka Kanejou, and Keiichi Kanejou. One can only imagine that series protagonist Yamada, while suffering from a case of "[[NoNameGiven No First Name Given]]", would follow this theme as well.
24	* ''Anime/BirdieWing'': Aoi Amawashi, Lily Lipman and Chris Christina.
25	* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Kubo chooses names and language themes based on how words sound to him so this crops up a few times. Examples include Ouetsu Nimaiya's Sword Five girls, Aaroniero Arruerie, Bambietta Basterbine, Candice Catnipp, [=NaNaNa=] Najahkoop, and Giselle Gewelle (both names start with a soft-g to produce a "jheh" sound despite the "gi" and "ge" spelling). Averted with Loyd Lloyd, as the spelling variation [[UsefulNotes/{{Wales}} changes both the letter and sound]].
26	* ''Manga/BloomIntoYou'': Sayaka Saeki and Koyomi Kanou, who is voiced by Creator/KonomiKohara.
27	* ''Manga/CageOfEden'': There's Saki Segawa, Maya Miyauchi, Makoto "Eiken" Morita and Machika Matsumoto.
28	* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Kaori Kanzaki, Misaka Mikoto, Misaka Misuzu.
29	* ''Literature/ClassroomOfTheElite'': Kikyo Kushida and Kei Karuizawa
30	* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Lelouch Lamperouge, Kallen Kozuki, Anya Alstreim, Gilbert Guilford, Sayoko Shinozaki and probably C.C., if those are indeed her initials.
31	* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': Spike Spiegel.
32	* ''Manga/CroiseeInAForeignLabyrinth'': Claude Claudel
33	* [[EvilFormerFriend Kinshiro]] [[StudentCouncilPresident Kusatsu]] of ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove''.

36	* ''Manga/DGrayMan'': Lenalee Lee.
37	* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'': Several secondary characters. There's Sanemi Shinazugawa, Tecchin Tecchikawahara, Hotaru Haganezuka, Kozo Kanamori, Kanae Kocho and Kie Kamado.

45	* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'': Haruko Haruhara.
46	* Rei Ryugazaki and Momotarou Mikoshiba from ''Anime/{{Free}}''.
47	* ''Manga/{{Freezing}}'': Rana Linchen is a case that got LostInTranslation. The Japanese language doesn't have distinct 'r' and 'l' sounds, so her katakana name ラナ＝リンチェン can plausibly be transliterated as any combination of "Rana" or "Lana" and "Rinchen" or "Linchen". Fan translations typically go with "Lana Linchen" to preserve both the alliteration and Tibetan origin.
48	* Edward Elric and Alex Armstrong from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''.
49	* ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'': Sôsuke Sagara and Teletha Testarossa.
50	* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' has Saihitei Shu/Seishuku Shu/Saihitei Seishuku (Hotohori, whose real full name remains a mystery to many fans), Suzaku Seikun and Seiryuu Seikun.

56	* ''Manga/{{Heroman}}'' gives us Joey Jones. This is to follow the Comic Book hero naming convention; not surprising given Creator/StanLee is behind him.
57	* ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' gives us Asia Argento, TheMedic of the group. Bonus points for her because her seiyuu, Azumi Asakura, ''also'' has the same initials. There's also Souna Sitri.

59	* ''Literature/InvadersOfTheRokujyouma'' has Kiriha Kurano.

83	* ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': Kimihito Kurusu.

85	* ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid'' has Sun Seto.
86	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Unsurprisingly for a series about superheroes, several secondary characters have this type of name like Minoru Mineta, Koji Koda, Kinoko Komori, Seiji Shishikura, Tetsutetu Tetsutetsu,Masaki Mizushima/Manual, Shino Sosaki/Mandalay and Taishiro Toyomitsu/Fat Gum.

Both her given name and family name can be written with the exact same kanji, although only her family name is officially written in them, with her given name written in katakana.
96	** Had Naruto taken on his father's last name, he would be Naruto [[spoiler:Namikaze]].
