* Luigi fits this role in many ''SuperMario'' games, especially in the early ones, where he was playable as a sprite recolor of Mario. He still has that role in many of the recent Mario games, having just as big of a role as Mario in the ''MarioAndLuigi'' games, and even appearing in both ''SuperMarioGalaxy'' games as an alternative to playing Mario. It's not called Super Mario '''Bros''' without a reason, y'know. [[BigBad Bowser]] is another recent example, strangely enough, having his own separate storyline in ''PaperMario: The Thousand Year Door'' and technically being the the real hero of ''Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''.

** In the first season, Togusa might be this or the Tritagonist, given that he does a lot of the actual legwork in investigating The Laughing Man and tends to have more [[ADayInTheLimelight Days In The Limelight]]. He's also used as a foil to the rest of the cast, being more down to earth and much more of a newcomer (having been recruited recently as a police officer and having virtually no cyborg implants [[spoiler: until the third movie]]). Not to mention he's almost always LockedOutOfTheLoop to set up TheReveal of [[UnspokenPlanGuarantee unspoken plans]] (the best example being the final episode of the first season, which recaps on the events entirely from his perspective and avoids revealing [[spoiler: the team survived and he's the last member to be brought back and debriefed]] until the end).

The deuteragonist (from Greek: second actor) is the second important character in the story, the first is, of course, the protagonist. He or she can be either ''with'', or ''against'' the protagonist. We can see how his or her actions drive the plot just as much as those of the protagonist.


Subtropes include TheAragorn. The {{Sidekick}} can be a deuteragonist if given enough focus on his own.

***Code Geass has many secondary protagonists such as Kallen (Karen), Shirley, Mao, Cornelia, Schneizel, Tohdoh, Rolo, Nunnally (who gets her spin-off "Nightmare of Nunnally"), etc (It seems a bit of an ensemble cast), so saying C.C. is the tritagonist is [[YourMileageMayVary really something]], but Suzaku is definitely the deuteragonist.
