* ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'': The only reason that [[spoiler:[[TwinSwitch Mukuro is able to pass herself off as Junko]]]] is because none of the cast have met either one of them before ([[spoiler:well, technically they have, but they had their memories wiped afterwards]]), and even then, Makoto immediately notices that [[spoiler:"Junko" doesn't resemble her magazine covers very closely, to which she gives the excuse that those covers have been photoshopped to hell and back]]. The flimsiness of the disguise is even more blatant in the bonus School Mode, where it quickly becomes evident [[spoiler:Mukuro is ''really'' bad at staying in character, as she continually makes references to things like knife-throwing, running away from home, and owning a ghillie suit, even though she's supposed to be playing the role of a [[TheFashionista fashionista]]]].

** ZigZagged in ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'' by the Ultimate Imposter. He's a MasterOfDisguise [[{{Acrofatic}} who's about 200 pounds heavier than everyone whose identity he steals]], but he's so good at copying their personalities, mannerisms, [[PowerCopying and abilities]] that [[EasyImpersonation people simply don't notice]]. He's introduced impersonating a character from the previous game, but the audience is led to believe he simply gained weight since then until they notice the holes in his story.

* ''Fanfic/AdamWinters'': The namesake of this AU ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series is a fake identity created when Pettigrew abducted Harry after Voldemort's death and placed him under various disguise charms: hence, when 'Adam' goes to Hogwarts, he is basically Harry with a different hair and eye-colour. This works for as long as it does because everyone thought the Potters died in Voldemort's attack, so nobody was looking for the resemblance. Although [[spoiler:after the disguise charms are broken, Dumbledore also provides Adam with different glasses to wear as 'Harry' in order to better distinguish the two]].

At one point, 2007 Piper is spotted by her 1999 boyfriend, Dan Gordon; stuck for any better ideas to explain how she looks older, she claims that she's just wearing her hair differently.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13289918/1/The-Treasure-of-Eyja-Nott The Treasure of Eyja Nott]]'' - a Modern AU of ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' based on ''Film/TheCountOfMonteCristo2002''- Hiccup's 'disguise' after his years in prison is primarily his dark sunglasses; while he has [[BeardnessProtectionProgram grown a beard]], it's a fairly basic one, but his eyes are too distinctive for him to be sure he wouldn't be recognised if his enemies saw them, even with the advantage that most of the people he's trying to deceive think he's been dead for over a decade.
