* The 1979 manga ''Manga/IganoKabamaru'' by Yū Azuki is actually a spoof of the 1961 manga ''Iga no Kagemaru'' by Mitsuteru Yokoyama. The main character's nickname is a pun on it ("'''Kage'''maru", means "absolute shadow", while "'''Kaba'''maru" means "hippo's mouth"). However, ''Kabamaru'' is more well-known because of it's anime adaptation that [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff became a smash hit]] in Greece and the Middle East. Yokoyama's ''Kagemaru'' at best, received a LiveActionAdaptation that was never broadcast out of Japan.Â

* Wrestling/{{Sting}}'s famous {{goth}}ic-themed gimmick, first unveiled in 1996, was originally ''very'' heavily inspired by ''ComicBook/TheCrow'' and its popular [[Film/TheCrow 1994 film adaptation]] (hence why the persona is often called "Crow Sting" by longtime fans). While ''The Crow'' is decently popular, and the 1994 movie has a respectable [[CultClassic cult following]], they're nowhere near the ''bona fide'' cultural icon that Sting was at the height of his fame.Â

* ''Wolf Girl With You'' is a fan-made HGame staring the titular wolf girl Liru that suddenly exploded in popularity in the mid 2010's, with many making fanart or memes of either Liru herself or the premise entirely with BaitAndSwitch being the most common. Now go ahead and ask how many know that Liru is ''not'' an original creation of that game and instead part of the main cast of ''Anime/MagicalPokaan''.Â
