  • Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies has the mysterious villain known as the phantom, an emotionless assassin who can perfectly disguise themselves as anyone. They have done this so many times that the phantom has actually forgotten who they really are, and in the end suffers a Shapeshifter Identity Crisis.
  • Shiki from Tsukihime, with the exception of the prologue (when he was a child). Since the game is told from his perspective, this makes sense; he only shows up on-screen during unlocked images, but never with any detail above his mouth. This only holds true in the original Visual Novel (not the sequel games, anime, or manga).
  • Caster in Fate/stay night, played for an ambiguous and mysterious enemy. You can see her mouth, chin and lower cheeks, but most of her emotions have to be expressed through body language. When the hood finally falls off, it's revealed that she's actually incredibly beautiful... too bad she just skewered and is bleeding to death, hm?
  • In the Higurashi: When They Cry anime, you never see the parent's faces, for some reason, just a voice and maybe (if you're lucky), part of their body. However, they're shown fully in the manga.
