What makes this different from most of the other Fat tropes is that this character is always a SatelliteCharacter and we rarely see things from their perspectives. They're there to enhance the protagonist's traits and to simply be a friend. A possible reason for this trope's existence is a desire to be more realistic and less discriminatory by showing that not everybody in the world has a generically attractive body shape (therefore avoiding HollywoodPudgy, perhaps), but still avoid having a fat main character.

* Tomohiro from ''Manga/ASilentVoice'' is a combination of all three. He's more energetic and extroverted than Shoya--acting as a foil to his buddy's angsty self-hatred--but he acts weird and awkward around most other people, and has no other friends until Shoya's old frenemies start reappearing. Most of the ComicRelief in this otherwise heavy series comes from Tomohiro's wackiness. His weight never really gets mentioned, but he's clearly the chubbiest character.
