History Main / InstantFanClub

** This is case is most particularly bizarre in Yukari's case as in Episode 3 (her debut), she is shown to be hated by the entire student body. Then the fanclub guys are introduced ''the very next episode.''

* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'''s Kimiko suddenly acquires an enormous horde of fanboys when she mouths off on public radio in their defense. Erika also has a fanclub so obsessed that they stay loyal to her even after she disappears from the public eye for years. The series goes deeper into exploring the phenomenon than just using it for comedy, portraying the fanboys as [[YouSuck everything from sympathetic losers (Piro) to immoral, pathetic perverts (Kuro)]].

[[IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] producing a PaperFanOfDoom from {{Hammerspace}}, or the actual fan club of the same name started by Music/TheyMightBeGiants.

* {{Deconstructed}} in ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven'' -- the mob of kids who follow Bernardo O'Reilly around everywhere [[spoiler:end up [[UnwantedAssistance getting him killed]] as they wander out into a gunfight and he tries to get them into cover.]]

* In ''{{Exalted}}'', this is represented with the Followers merit. And if you're someone from the Underworld, your fan club can consists of ''ghosts''.

** She even has her own webpage and a good balance of male and female fans! Her good looks and comical personality wouldn't be enough to explain this ordinarily, but it may be a JustifiedTrope if you add in the speculation that a goddess would naturally, subconsiously draw followers.

* In the WhateleyUniverse, teenager Fey is horrified to find out that she has a fan club of girls her own age. Her teammates on her super-team tease her about it now and then.
* In SurvivalOfTheFittest V4, Reiko Ishida got one of these due to her success in ice skating, often referred to as her "entourage". Bit of a subversion, though, as, unlike most characters that have found themselves in this trope, she's actually quite close friends with them.

* ''{{Persona 3}}'' has two senpais in the main cast. Akihiko, the male senpai, is shown early on to attract squealing hordes of fangirls with minimal effort (or desire). Mitsuru Kirijo's otaku are a lot more subtle, but the player can find any number of [=NPCs=] that all fantasize about attracting her attention, especially one that just plain fantasizes about anything Mitsuru does or could potentially do to her.

* ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'': Goldie had a [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=124081 good-sized following]] during her senior year. The following year, [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=129947 Jane followed in her footsteps]] [[spoiler: before dropping out of school.]]

* ''PonyPOV'': After [[spoiler:Princess Gaia's rule]], Fluttershy results in getting a sizable following due to how much it healed many ponies. Her popularity as a fashion model not withstanding.

* {{Deconstructed}} in ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven'' -- the mob of kids who follow Bernardo O'Reilly around everywhere [[spoiler:end up [[StopHelpingMe getting him killed]] as they wander out into a gunfight and he tries to get them into cover.]]

* ArTonelico2 provides something just a touch more realistic. It takes time for Reine to build the Cloche fanclub but otherwise they fit perfectly. They tell people how great Cloche is, protect her in battle, and provide the energy for [[CombinedEnergyAttack Replakia.]]

* While not prominent, both Arima and Miyazaki develop them early on in ''KareKano''. One arc deals with what happens when Yukino's turns against her.

* The {{Pokemon}} games will give you your own personal fan club after meeting certain requirements like beating the Elite Four and [[GottaCatchEmAll catching all Pokémon.]]

* In ''Franchise/{{Noob}}'' there is a guild called Gaea Admirers that formed for the sole purpose of helping out Gaea, whom they believe to be a DoubleAgent loyal to the Coalition, while Gaea herself in the Empire. The MauveShirt among them, Meuhmeuh, tends to appear out of nowhere if he considers Gaea needs his help. [[spoiler:They give Gaea a place to go when she does an opportunistic Face Heel Turn.]]

* In ''Franchise/{{Noob}}'' there is a guild called Gaea Admirers that formed for the sole purpose of helping out Gaea, whom they believe to be a DoubleAgent loyal to the Coalition, while Gaea herself in the Empire. [[spoiler:They give Gaea a place to go when she does an opportunistic Face Heel Turn.]]

* In the first episode of ''NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu'', we're treated with the InstantFanClub of the titular character, who proceed to clobber the male protagonist for chasing her, even though it's just to clear up some misunderstanding.

* There's one for Tsukasa in ''[[StrawberryOneHundredPercent Ichigo100%]]'', who won't even allow her one-time-and-possibly-again-depending-on-how-the-plot-unfolds semi-boyfriend talk to her without him disguising as one of them and slipping through the crowd. It's a rather organized fanclub at that, complete with identification numbers and hierarchy.

* In the SilverAge, ComicBook/JimmyOlsen had a club of bowtie-wearing dweebs who hung on his every word. As creepy as it sounds.

* Also pre-Crisis, {{Robin}}, whilst attending Hudson University as Dick Grayson, had his own on-campus fan-club, and occasionally attended meetings of the self named (at least one hopes so) Robin-Rooters, whose members were mostly female, but not exclusively so. They even designed new costumes for him, which they then had made up for him to wear, which he did.

* The ''RanmaOneHalf'' fanfic ''GirlDays'' has fun with this. When Ranma starts attending Furinkan High as a girl as part of the Girl Days training, a bunch of fan clubs almost immediately break out. One, the Ranma-chan club, is a group of girls devoted to Ranma remaining a girl; another, the Ranma-kun club, are girls who want their male Ranma back, no matter the cost. A third, a group of guys, have deluded themselves into thinking Ranma will go out on a date with them. Ranma and her friends simply call this club 'The Idiots'. And once Shampoo starts attend school as well, she gets her own fan club.

[[IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] producing a PaperFanOfDoom from {{Hammerspace}}.

* Fuuko's fanboys in ''VisualNovel/{{CLANNAD}}'', whom she gains when Tomoya and Nagisa teach her how to make friends.

* [[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfWiglafAndMordred Wiglaf]] gains one of these pretty much whenever he goes out in public.

* ''EverydayHeroes'': Goldie had a [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=124081 good-sized following]] during her senior year. The following year, [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=129947 Jane followed in her footsteps]] [[spoiler: before dropping out of school.]]
* In ''TaikiTheWebcomic'', Kai has one.

* ''{{Shuffle}}'' parodies this rather sharply. The fanclubs have even [[SeriousBusiness carried over into real life]], with all the seriousness of ShipToShipCombat - their object of affection might be a [[{{Yandere}} psycho]], but ''don't'' say this in front of members of ''Kitto Kitto Kaede''!
* Kakashi is implied to have one of these in ''RockLeesSpringtimeOfYouth''. Strangely enough Yamato/Tenzou also appears to be a part of the club. Don't believe me? Take a look at [[http://miyukicosplay.deviantart.com/art/A-fangirl-xD-337755942 this]]

* The all-male fan club that worships a pretty nurse on the Nautilus, in ''Manga/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater''.

* The males at the school in ''SetoNoHanayome'' (pictured above) are divided into two militant, warring fan clubs over San and Luna. Luna personally leads ''her'' club in efforts to take over the school. Mawari is left leading an equally-violent third club comprised of the girls, united under "[[KnightTemplar restoring order]]" with the motto "All men are beasts."

* Motoko Minagawa's "Prince Yuki" Club in ''FruitsBasket''.

* Lum's Stormtroopers and Mendou's army of fangirls in ''UruseiYatsura''.

* Daichi and Kouichi in ''HimechanNoRibon'' get one. Daichi's club causing direct trouble for Hime-chan when the rumours of them dating start spreading around. At least the main leaders of said group have badges with his face on it.

* Used straight and subverted in ''ThePrinceOfTennis''. Subverted: [[GenkiGirl Tomoka Osakada]] does her best to create and form a fanclub for [[TroubledButCute Ryoma Echizen]] but in the end she and [[ShrinkingViolet Sakuno]] are pretty much the only stable members. Played straight: Wakato's fangirls from the Jyousei Shounan arc and the Rikkaidai cheerleaders. And there's no forgetting Atobe's ''army'' of fangirls, who can become even ''[[YokoOhNo violent]]'' towards the main girl of the DatingSim ''Gakuensai no Oujisama'' if you have her befriending Atobe.
