* ''Franchise/Dragonball'':

* ''Franchise/Dragonball'':''Franchise/DragonBall'':



** ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman'' and later ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' introduces Bulma's older sister Tights who went unmentioned by her family throughout the entirety of the original manga, '' Z'' and ''GT''. Other characters lampshade this.



* ''Manga/OnePiece'': In the Zou and Totto Land arc it's a revealed Sanji has a father along with four genetically enhanced SociopathicSoldier siblings: Judge, Reiju, Ichiji, Niji and Yonji (though Reiju turns out to be decent). PlayedWith as their "long lost" status was enforced by Sanji who understandably wanted nothing to do with them for their tyranny and abuse. Justifying why Sanji wouldn't mention them or his childhood to his TrueCompanions.



* ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' [[spoiler:introduces Blofeld as 007's long lost adoptive brother Franz Oberhauser aka Ernst Stavro Blofeld, his ArchEnemy. Many fans pointed the HilariousInHindsight similarities between this reveal and the aforementioned ''Film/AustinPowersInGoldmember'', making a rare case of the source material copying the parody.]]



* ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'': Lars Alexandersson is the result of Heihachi Mishima's affair with a Swedish woman decades ago. Lars very much knows his relationship to the Mishimas, but the Mishimas ([[LukeYouAreMyFather including Heihachi]]) are pretty much in the dark until the events of the sixth game. Interestingly, the one Mishima relative Lars actually becomes close with after TheReveal is Lee Chaolan, who was adopted by Heihachi and as a result is not biologically related to Lars at all.

** ''Tekken 4'' reveals Steve Fox is Nina Williams' son, in-vitro born from her ovum while she was a HumanPopsicle. Like with Heihachi and his children, the familial care leaves much to be desired with Nina just being annoyed by her son's existence. Anna Nina's sister, isn't even aware she has a nephew.

** ''VideoGame/Tekken8'' similarly reveals Reina [[spoiler:Heihachi's illegitimate daughter, Kazuya and Lars's sister and Jin's aunt. If that wasn't enough TheStinger reveals unlike Lars she's somehow managed to manifest the Devil Gene, despite not being related to Kazumi at
all.]]

* Char Aznable and Sayla Mass from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' are brother and sister; though they've been separated for years, they instantly recognize each other when they accidentally cross paths in the second episode. Thus, "Long Lost Little Sister" is often considered one of the defining traits of a CharClone, as seen with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Zechs Merquise]].

* ''Anime/DragonballZ'':
** ''Dragon Ball Z'' kicks off with the dual revelations that Goku A) is an alien and B) has a much stronger evil older brother.
