* The heroine of ''Gearz'', after receiving a coterie of robot bodyguards due to a postal error. As a GenreSavvy pop culture junkie, she specifically compares herself to Johnny Sokko (Daisaku Kusama's name in the English version of the live-action ''Series/GiantRobo'' show called ''Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot''.)

* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': Asuka was the only one could pilot [[HumongousMecha Unit-02]] because her mother's soul was locked inside and could synch with her. For a long time Asuka clung to that fact to convince herself she was special and unique and worth of something, and so boosting her very fragile self-esteem. Throughout the story, though, she gradually loses her capability to synch with her robot, and piloting gradually feels less important or special than being ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}''.
