* One episode of ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'' involves teenage students of a MilitarySchool. One of them insists on only addressing his military father by rank, whether or not either of them are in uniform; even Sam Hanna, himself a former Navy SEAL with his own son following in his footsteps, considers it a bad sign that the boy is ''way'' too stiff and emotionally repressed.

It's played with, though, in that this is less proof of the kind of person Tsubasa is and more of the kind of person her parents expect her to be.



* ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'':
** Boruto usually calls his father Naruto "''oyaji''" (old man) to emphasis his feelings of [[WhenYouComingHomeDad neglect]] by his father. When he's happy with his dad, he calls him the very affectionate "''tou-chan''" ("Dad" in the English dub).
** Sarada does not know her father Sasuke well due to [[spoiler:him being on a mission since she was a toddler]], however, she refers to him with the affectionate "Papa" (changed to "Dad" in the English dub). She also refers to her mother by "Mama" ("Mom" in the English dub).
** In ''Itachi's Story'', Itachi usually calls Fugaku "Father" after graduating the academy at a very young age, which Itachi sees as "a distinction he drew for himself as a full-fledged ninja." When [[ForegoneConclusion the time comes for the massacre]], Itachi switches back to using "Dad," (even though he can't remember the last time he called Fugaku that), [[TearJerker because now that he knows that he's going to be parted from his parents forever, Itachi longs for the good old days when they were a family]].

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'', Josuke Higashikata insists on referring to [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureJosephJoestar Joseph Joestar]], who fathered him in an extramarital affair with Josuke's mother and only recently found out about Josuke being his son, "Joestar-san"/"Mr. Joestar," which is appropriately respectful but expresses that Josuke doesn't consider Joseph his father.

* In ''Manga/NewGame'', Ko Yagami starts to call her mother "Mama" ("Mommy" in the dub), but then switches to "my mother," when talking to Aoba, apparently not wanting to seem childish, since Ko is 25 at the start of the series. Ko's best friend, Rin, teases her about it when she overhears Ko on the phone with her mother.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma's love-hate relationship with his {{Jerkass}} father is cemented by always referring to him as "oyaji", rather than "otou-san" (in English, this becomes "Pop").

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''
** Katsuki Bakugo is a hotheaded and rude individual who doesn't even bother to learn most of his classmates' names, instead using insulting nicknames on them. He's similarly rude to his mother, calling her names like "hag," much to her displeasure.
