10	* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' (''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable]]''): Protagonist Josuke Higashikata's [[FightingSpirit Stand]] is called Crazy Diamond, after "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". Due to copyright reasons, his Stand is sometimes called Shining Diamond instead, preserving the reference while still avoiding trademark infringement.
11	** In that same part, secondary protagonist Koichi Hirose's Stand is called Echoes (Reverb in English localizations), and TheDragon to the main antagonist has one named Atom Heart Father (after ''Atom Heart Mother''; English localizations shorten the name to just Heart Father). There's also a character named Reimi Sugimoto; her first name is an anagram of the Japanese spelling of "Emily", believed to be a reference to the Barret-era song "See Emily Play". Reimi's dog, Arnold, may also be named after the song "Arnold Layne" from the same era.
