History Main / TheCasanova

* Zelos Wilder from TalesOfSymphonia. Yeah he doesn't get anywhere with {{Tsundere}} [[BoobsOfSteel Sheena]], but any other woman in the game he addresses IMMEDIATELY fawns over him.

* Panther Caruso from ''VideoGame/StarFox'' relentlessly pursues Krystal, and is described more than once [[WordOfGod by Nintendo]] as being a self-proclaimed ladies' man. He could, however, be a slight subversion in the sense that he never really gets anywhere with Krystal (who shares a mutual affection with [[TheMario Fox McCloud]]), and once he actually does get her in Command, he is incredibly devoted to her.

* Thomas the bard from YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic is such a master at the game of love that he can have any woman he wants, even one who wants to clobber him. Take [[http://yafgc.net/?id=549 this comic]] for example, in which he demonstrates his prowess to Clover the halfling. He tips a waitress by flicking a coin into her cleavage, causing it to fall through the bottom of her dress and roll away. As she bends down to pick it up he smacks her on the rear. She understandably prepares to kick his ass, but he whispers ''[[CodeWordCoitus something]]'' in her ear that has her making out with him immediately afterward. All Clover can say after witnessing this is "Wow...[[{{Understatement}} you're good]]."

The trope is named for Giacomo Girolamo Casanova (1725-1798), a soldier, spy, diplomat and adventurer whose extensive but [[UnreliableNarrator unreliable autobiography]] established his eternal fame as a lover. It should be noted that the historical Casanova was closer to a ChivalrousPervert who really was looking for love... just with women who [[YourCheatingHeart were locked in loveless political marriages]] - and also gained his successes [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome while being]] [[UglyGuyHotWife famously ugly]].([[http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/gutenb/autoren/bilder/casanova.jpg Definitely he was no Heath Ledger.]])

* Dr Guy Secretan from ''{{Green Wing}}''.

* Benjamin Franklin

Note: It should be mentioned that even after the affairs were over, most of Casanova's ex-lovers still liked him. This trope would probably fit (the fictional) Don Juan better.

[[AC:{{Literature}}]]

* In DanAbnett's GauntsGhosts novel ''Necropolis'', Gaunt [[spoiler: after a wartime fling]] thinks of his mentor Otkar who had left a trail of tearful women behind him and warned Gaunt not to get involved, as it would weaken him. [[spoiler: Gaunt realizes that although as soon as the war is over, their social classes would separate them (which she knows too), he would now fight to the end to save this woman, and that his emotional investment in the Ghosts has in reality kept him on the job.]]

** Although, as revealed in Mockingjay, this may actually be a subversion. He does love one single woman, Annie, and was forced into becoming a sex slave by the Capitol to protect her.

* In a rare example of one in children's literature, ''Literature/TheRomanMysteries'' features [[spoiler: Publius Pollus Felix, who is revealed as a Casanova in ''The Sirens of Surrentum''.]]

* Connor from ''TrustMe'' seems to be edging into this trope.

* ''IntoTheWoods'' has an amazing parody of this in the songs 'Agony' and the reprise by the two princes.

* [[http://walkypedia.com/index.php/Joseph_Rosenthal Joe Rosenthal]] in ''[[WalkyVerse It's Walky!]]'' takes this to the point of practically being another super-power: he managed to have sex with an astonishing 2030+ women before settling down with Rachel. This is all the more astonishing given his somewhat [[KavorkaMan kavorka-ish]] horndog attitude: one time, he set out intentionally to sleep with 30 women in one day (to 'get the gay off of me' after having his head shoved in Walky's crotch in an attempt to obscure his face), and succeeded.

* Sven of QuestionableContent, [[spoiler: at least until his fling with Faye]].

[[AC:WebOriginal]]

* Prince Naveen (of Maldonia!) from ''ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' is like this [[CharacterDevelopment at first]].


[[AC: RealLife]]

** [[http://www.cracked.com/article_16120_historys-7-most-astounding-sexual-resumes.html Cracked]]'s calculations are a little different, but no less unlikely.

->''Gentlemen, I'm sure we can sort this out amicably. Look at it this way: if you could do what I could do, you'd do it too! But you can't. I can. And I have. And I'll do it again. So you should be happy for me, just a little tiny bit, don't you think?''
->--DavidTennant as Casanova in the 2005 {{BBC}} [[{{Series/Casanova}} adaptation]].

* In a rare example of one in children's literature, TheRomanMysteriesSeries features [[spoiler: Publius Pollus Felix, who is revealed as a Casanova in ''The Sirens of Surrentum''.]]
