Does the Naruto example actually qualify? Madara was already an established definitely-real character in the setting long before the reveal; this trope would have been if, instead, it had turned out that "Tobi" really was Madara, but there was a second, real, Tobi who had the characteristics of the one we saw before that previous reveal that Tobi was supposedly Madara. This trope is for when a character is initially revealed as a fictional front, then a real person is introduced who has that name.
