*** Johns' personal favourite character is Wally West, but he is also very fond of Barry Allen, the second Flash. In Johns' ''ComicBook/TheFlash'' run, which featured Wally West as the protagonist, Barry was featured quite a bit, and Wally all of a sudden started storing his costume inside a ring like Barry, when by that point he'd been able to actually just manifest one around himself. Later, Johns would write ''ComicBook/TheFlashRebirth'' which focuses on Allen's return, and is basically one long love letter to Barry.

* Creator/CSLewis was apparently fond of characters who [[PrefersGoingBarefoot prefer going barefoot]], due to [[BarefootSage religious and mystical]] [[MagicalBarefooter symbolism]] behind it, and probably also [[BarefootLoon free-spiritedness and nonconformism]] (besides, Lewis drew inspiration from his idols Creator/GeorgeMacDonald and Creator/ENesbit, whose writings also feature plenty of barefoot characters). The number of barefooters is especially high in ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' (the Narnia wiki even has [[https://narnia.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Characters_who_go_barefoot a specific category for them]]): Lucy Pevensie (her brothers and sister also like to do it sometimes), Coriakin and Ramandu from ''Literature/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader'', Ramandu's daughter and Queen Jadis (at least in the illustrations), Shasta and the Hermit of the Southern March from ''Literature/TheHorseAndHisBoy'' (though with Shasta, it's just BarefootPoverty), and Puddleglum from ''Literature/TheSilverChair''. Merlin from ''[[Literature/TheSpaceTrilogy That Hideous Strength]]'' is also barefooted.

* [[Creator/RobLiefeld Rob Liefeld's]] fixation on certain aspects of the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/LIEFELDWOMAN.gif female]] and [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/LiefeldPackage.jpg male]] anatomy is one of the many reasons why he has such a large hatedom.

** ComicBook/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/{{Superman}} posing as ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} and [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] after stealing their costumes in ''ComicBook/PublicEnemies''.

** Miyazaki tends to avoid antagonists who are outright evil, and are often only forced into doing bad things because of outside circumstances such as war.

** In ''{{VideoGame/Metal Gear Solid 3|SnakeEater}}'', the camera adores EVA's buttocks almost as much as it loves her breasts, to the point where listing individual - or even JustForFun/{{egregious}} - examples is impossible. Bringing her up in the Cure viewer can, depending on the time on your UsefulNotes/{{P|layStation2}}S2 clock, reveal her doing a {{Stripperiffic}} posing routine in her underwear.

* Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} promoter Mike Quackenbush: Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger, Wrestling/ManamiToyota, ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'', Mexican wrestling, British wrestling legends Johnny Saint and Johnny Kidd, [[Wrestling/SatoruSayama Tiger Mask]], ''Series/{{Lost}}'', ComicBooks, {{Anime}}, Music/TalkingHeads, ''Franchise/JusticeLeague'', ''Franchise/{{X Men}}''...[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] references to failed early 1990s Wrestling/{{WWE}} gimmicks Kwang and Max Moon. He once said in an interview that, with everyone trying to be "xtreme," he wanted CHIKARA to be "wacky."

** He ''loves'' throwing crazy plot twists {{Plot Twist}}s into his movies, usually in the form that [[RewatchBonus forces the audience to reexamine what they just watched.]]

** He has a fascination with flight, hence why practically all of his works involve flying in some form or another, such as ''Anime/CastleInTheSky''. Even [[Anime/SherlockHound the adaptation of Sherlock Holmes]] he worked on had flying machines, when there were none to be had in the original source material. In fact, [[Anime/TheWindRises his most recent film he made is about an airplane designer.]]

** Volume and chapter titles are usually inspired by music, especially album and song titles, and often include the terms 'mix' or 'reprise' to evoke musicality. He also inserts a lot of gratuitous 'language X' due to his love of languages and word play, and his desire to associate the "feel" of a language with a particular race: He feels German sounds like an organised, intellectual and efficient language, so it's the language of the regimented and militaristic Quincies. He feels Spanish has an EvilIsSexy flair, so it's the language of the Hollows, especially the fan-service Arrancars. He'll throw in English or slang Japanese for the "cool" characters and uses historical Japanese for traditional and spiritual characters, such as the Shinigamis' Tokugawa-era culture.

** Most every episode also has at least one song from a VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog or Franchise/MegaMan game. If it doesn't, it's usually an episode with a particular theme, or just a huge oversight. Eventually they just decided to embrace it and do a dedicated "Blue Hero" Mega Man/Sonic episode, which was kind of justified, because their guest that week was ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics and ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics comic writer Creator/IanFlynn.

** Nasu seems to have been a pretty big fan of ''Manga/Kenji'' when he was younger: as a result, if martial arts get involved in some shape or form, it will ''always'' be Bajiquan. Kuzuki of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' seems to be the only human martial artist in his entire body of work who isn't a Bajiquan practitioner, and Li Shuwen, the art's most prolific master, is one of the more recurring Servants in the ''Franchise/FateSeries'' despite being a fairly obscure historical figure.

* George Kamitani, of Creator/{{Vanillaware}} fame, likes women that are, to say the least, voluptuous. Nearly every game he helped develop feature women with curvacious figures, often with breasts larger than their heads. Even ''VideoGame/13SentinelsAegisRim'', which has a more grounded and realistic aesthetic, has HotNurse Chihiro Morimura. In addition, he likes to incorporate food into games, as seen in ''VideoGame/OdinSphere'' and ''VideoGame/MuramasaTheDemonBlade''[='=]s farming/cooking system and hub world restaurants, or ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown''[='=]s use of food to overheal and campfire minigame.

* Creator/ShirowMasamune appears to have an amputee fetish judging from the number of times his heroines lose an arm. He even makes them cyborgs, so he can dismember them repeatedly!

* Director Oscar Micheaux pioneered the RaceFilm in the early 20th century. Almost all of his films focused on racism, "improving" the black race, avoiding HeritageDisconnect, and praising higher education. He was also fond of the protagonists [[ButNotTooBlack either being half-white or light-skinned]].

* Creator/CSLewis was apparently fond of characters who PreferGoingBarefoot, due to [[BarefootSage religious and mystical]] [[MagicalBarefooter symbolism]] behind it, and probably also [[BarefootLoon free-spiritedness and nonconformism]] (besides, Lewis drew inspiration from his idols Creator/GeorgeMacDonald and Creator/ENesbit, whose writings also feature plenty of barefoot characters). The number of barefooters is especially high in ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' (the Narnia wiki even has [[https://narnia.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Characters_who_go_barefoot a specific category for them]]): Lucy Pevensie (her brothers and sister also like to do it sometimes), Coriakin and Ramandu from ''Literature/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader'', Ramandu's daughter and Queen Jadis (at least in the illustrations), Shasta and the Hermit of the Southern March from ''Literature/TheHorseAndHisBoy'' (though with Shasta, it's just BarefootPoverty), and Puddleglum from ''Literature/TheSilverChair''. Merlin from ''[[Literature/TheSpaceTrilogy That Hideous Strength]]'' is also barefooted.
