They say that everybody has got a double somewhere. After all, the Earth has a human population that is more than a immense amount of people; it would actually be stranger if no two people were at least vaguely similar in their appearance. On the other hand, it's not as common in Real Life as it seems to be in media... or, at the very least, not as common for such individuals to actually meet. On television this is often utilized for comedy, by making them very different people personality-wise. As far as tropes go, this is one of the more ludicrously implausible ones. Take the probability of an Identical Grandson, ramp it up, and we're sort of in the right ballpark. This trope has stuck around mainly because it's a fun Plot Device. Meeting your own grandfather requires you to be in a Time Travel scenario, whereas a stranger can be, well, anyone more or less. Still, expect groans from the audience if this trope forces both identical strangers onto the screen at the same time a little too often. It gets past our Willing Suspension of Disbelief largely because it seems less improbable in the abstract than when we're directly confronted with it. In works with Only Six Faces, Identical Strangers often turn up as well (occasionally to lampshade the Only Six Faces trope, but frequently just as a byproduct of it.) When combined with Swapped Roles it results in Emergency Impersonation. Add both Swapped Roles and Fish out of Water and you have Prince and Pauper. If one gets put out of action, the other might be called upon to pull an El Cid Ploy. If this happens in a Live Action scenario, the doppelganger is almost always played by the same actor or actress in an alternate role. (And oftentimes, in an animated scenario, by the same VA.) Compare: Criminal Doppelgänger (when an Identical Stranger is also an evil duplicate of a character), Significant Double Casting, Similar Squad, Twin Switch (regular series with identical twins), Celebrity Resemblance, and Inexplicably Identical Individuals. noreallife |

In the Soviet comedy Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession, two characters named this way are a Soviet bureaucrat Ivan Bunsha and Tsar Ivan the Terrible (naturally, both played by the same actor). An inventor's attempt at building a Time Machine results in both Ivans swapping places. Bunsha ends up having to impersonate the tsar until the inventor can fix the time machine. The play, on which the film is based, instead goes with the Identical Grandson trope. | |

Played with in Miss Saigon towards the end of its Broadway run, when an Asian actress (instead of the usual white one) was cast as Ellen, the wife of the title character's lover Chris. Suddenly, instead of moving on with his life, as he insisted that he had, it now appeared that Chris only married Ellen because she reminded him of Kim. | |

Star Ocean: In Star Ocean: The Second Story, Claude and Prince Chris look exactly alike. Interestingly, this isn't used for a Prince and Pauper bit; at most, Claude can meet Chris during a Private Action and go hit the local bar with him. Ameena in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time looks exactly like Sophia. Despite being from another planet entirely. Although, finding a twin is probably easier when your candidate pool is twice as large. They are both characters in an MMORPG, with, presumably, more limited character models/editing options than in the real world. |

The Kang Dynasty: Marcus, the son of Kang, who fell in love with Warbird, and Marcus, the son of Immortus, who abducted, drugged and raped her a long time ago. They are not the same Marcus, but have the same face, the same voice, the same manners... Justified (a bit), after all Kang and Immortus are actually the same time-traveling man at different points of maturity. Or, said more simple, both Marcus are brothers (but don't ever tell him that). | |

X-Men: After Jean Grey kills herself in The Dark Phoenix Saga, Cyclops eventually meets Madelyne Pryor, a non-mutant airplane pilot who's a dead ringer for the departed Jean. At first, Scott thinks Maddie may somehow be Jean/Phoenix reincarnated, but she proves not to be. They eventually fall in love, get married, have a son, and Scott retires from the X-Men. This was the writer's original plan, for Maddie to just be an unrelated woman who happened to look exactly like Jean. This trope then got subverted by Executive Meddling, when it turns out Maddie is actually a clone of Jean created by Mister Sinister as part of his plan to get Scott and Jean (or someone with her genetic profile) to reproduce and create a genetically perfect being, and Maddie Goes Mad from the Revelation - and influence from the demons of Limbo - awakens her latent mutant powers plus black magic and becomes the villainous Goblin Queen. Then she dies. Then it turns out that, not only was Jean not dead (just in a cocoon at the bottom of the Hudson river), she was never actually Phoenix in the first place but was just impersonated by the cosmic entity Phoenix (maybe; that last part gets retconned constantly).note All of this was because it was decided that the new series X-Factor would star the original five X-Men. Which wouldn't be possible if Jean stayed dead and Scott stayed retired. In a What If? story, Wolverine is hurled through a time warp to Conan the Barbarian's time period, and quickly comes face-to-face with Red Sonja, whom he at first mistakes for Jean Grey. When she challenges him, he realizes it isn't Jean, but she "sure has Jeanie's spunk though." To make this even weirder, at the conclusion of the story, Conan is thrown through the same warp to the modern time, is confronted by the other X-Men, and mistakes Jean for Sonja. Rose O'Hara, Logan’s caretaker from Wolverine: The Origin is intentionally identical to Jean as well right to down to the color of their eyes. Literally the only differences between them are the fact Rose is a human and Irish while Jean is an American and a mutant. Their similarity is generally a indicator as to why Wolverine is so infatuated with Jean despite not being able to remember Rose due to century spanning amnesia; she reminds him deeply of the first woman he fell in love with. The same arc also includes Logan's half-brother Dog Logan, who ends up bearing an uncanny resemblance to Sabretooth, Wolverine's archenemy, by the end of the story. The general presumption by readers and even many writers for a long time was that he was a young Sabretooth, but this was never made explicit in the comic and later declared to not be the case, with Dog later returning and even meeting Sabretooth just to drive it home. |

Sluggy Freelance: The medieval warlord Lord Torgamous looks exactly like modern day Torg (except for the beard). It's heavily implied to be a case of Reincarnation. Subverted another time. (Or perhaps hinting at Identical Grandson.) Due to the ubiquity of dimensional travel, various minor or side characters can pop up at any time, often in wildly different roles but with the same name and usually general personality. (With the exception of the Dimension Of Lame, where all natives are significantly more friendly, peace-loving and... well, lame.) |

Bleach: Ichigo Kurosaki and Kaien Shiba never met but they have identical personalities and appearances, with the exception of hair colour (orange and black). Several characters speculate on the similarities between them. They're cousins. Ichigo's father is Kaien's uncle. Ichigo's zanpakuto, Zangetsu, looks identical to Yhwach, the Big Bad of the final arc. That's because "Zangetsu" is actually the physical manifestation of Ichigo's Quincy powers, which were given to him by Yhwach. On a related one, Tensa Zangetsu, Ichigo's "bankai", takes the form of Yhwach as a young man. |

Fire Emblem: In the past, Samuel of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem was so often mistaken for Navarre that he began posing as him. He... doesn't have the personality to back it up, though, and freaks out when either Ogma or Caeda speaks to him. While Asugi, Rhajat, and Caeldori from Fire Emblem Fates are all nearly identical (in both looks and personality) to Gaius, Tharja, and Cordelia, this trope can get invoked with Caeldori. If she is brought into the Before Awakening DLC and speaks to Chrom, he will mistake her for Cordelia before realizing she's someone else, and Caeldori can even have a red-haired mother to make the resemblance even stronger. (Although Caeldori can alternately fall into Identical Grandson instead; it's... complicated.) |

Bones: The Victim of the Week looks exactly like Dr. Brennan, but only she notices. This is because Brennan is actually projecting herself as the victim because they have superficially similar bone structure and lack of friends. Once the case (and Dr. Brennan) sort themselves out, we finally see a photo of the victim when not from Brennan's POV and it doesn't look much like her. | |

Wonder Woman probably borrowed this set-up from pulp icon The Shadow, who had a similar relationship with his alter ego, playboy Lamont Cranston (for the record, the Shadow began life as flying ace Kent Allard. One could do a lot worse than latching onto a layabout millionaire). | |

Nobody actually confuses her for Suzanne, but it proves somewhat disarming for Steve Westman (who had had a crush on Suzanne) to see her doppelganger in a Royal Manticoran Navy uniform, and arguably helps him soften towards Manticorans and ultimately give up his struggle against the annexation. | |

One episode of Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou has the main cast meeting a girl who looks exactly like Akane (minus the hair length) and has the same name. Ironically, when they are trying to help said girl and her boyfriend, and come up with some plan that involves impersonating them, the idea of Akane performing the role of her "twin" gets rejected immediately on the grounds of being too dangerous. | |

The Simpsons: Recurring character Krusty the Clown heavily resembles Homer in clown makeup, as they have similar head shapes and body types and even share a voice actor. This becomes a plot point in "Homie the Clown", where Homer becomes a Krusty impersonator and the two look so similar that no one in Springfield can tell them apart. In "There's No Disgrace Like Home", an entire family of Simpsons expies (only much more kempt and well-mannered) are seen exiting Dr. Marvin Monroe's office, with the Homer lookalike even spouting Homer's old catchphrase ("Let's all go out for some frosty chocolate milkshakes"). Homer takes this as a sign that Monroe knows his stuff. "Brother from the Same Planet" has Bart waiting to be picked up from his soccer game by Homer, when it starts to rain. Bart thinks he sees Homer driving by in his car, but it turns out to be a woman that looks like Homer wearing a blond wig and wearing a dress, inexplicably singing "I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar" as she drives past. In "Fear of Flying", Homer is temporarily banned from Moe's due to rampant douchebaggery (for Moe, at least). Soon after, a man who looks exactly like Homer with a mustache, in a top hat and suit goes to Moe's. He introduces himself as "Guy Incognito" and is promptly beaten up and thrown out. The real Homer, passing by, is shocked to find his exact double unconscious but is suddenly distracted by a dog with a puffy tail. In The Simpsons Movie, Bart doodles on a wanted poster with his family on it to prevent the owner of the store it was in from noticing it and calling the police and getting them arrested. A family resembling the modified picture ends up getting arrested after the store owner notices the poster. "Double, Double, Boy in Trouble" has Bart do a Prince and Pauper plot with a rich kid who looks just like him. At the same time Bart and his rich doppelganger meet, they also meet a guy who looks like a 30-year-old version of them; that guy has a wife who looks like a 30-year-old, female version of Milhouse. In "Midnight Rx", Ned Flanders meets a man in Canada who is essentially just him with lighter, permed hair. They both take part in the same "Diddly Doodly" style gibberish, but Flanders stops interacting with him when he offers him some pot. "Boy-Scoutz 'n The Hood" combined this with Funny Background Event. Bart and Lisa are watching TV and Lisa says cartoons don't have to be realistic, upon which a Homer look-alike is seen walking outside the window. In "Bart the Fink," Bart shows Captain McCallister a Krusty the Clown balloon and asks if he's seen this man. McCallister calls over Handsome Pete, a tiny man with a face resembling a distorted version of Krusty, who plays "The Sailor's Hornpipe" on a concertina and dances for nickels. |

Several of these crop up in Throné's story in Octopath Traveler II. The two pairs she calls attention to are Pirro and an unnamed boy in Oresrush, and an elderly guard from Wellgrove and the gondola guide in Lostseed. It turns out there's a very good reason plot-wise for this, since they're all Claude's children. The guard also comments on this if you bring him to the gondola guide in Throné's post-story sidequest. | |

The Doctor Who Expanded Universe short story collection "Short Trips: Past Tense" does it twice in a very meta way. The story "Thief Of Sherwood" is a metafictional Scrapbook Story, told via Radio Times and Doctor Who Magazine articles about an entirely fictional six-part First Doctor serial in which Robin Hood turns out to look exactly like Ian Chesterton, and the cast list credits "Ian Chesterton/Robin Hood - William Russell". The cast list also notes that Maid Marion is played by Anette Wilkes, who would go on to play Polly the year after "Thief of Sherwood" was suposedly broadcast. The final story, "That Time I Almost Destroyed The World While Looking For A Dress" had Polly wander through the previous stories in the collection, and sure enough, she looks exactly like Maid Marion. | |

In Miraculous Ladybug season 3 episode 23, the eponymous character, Felix Graham de Vanily, is able to convincingly pass as Adrien just by changing his clothes and his hairstyle. Justified because he and Adrien are first cousins and their mothers were identical twins, meaning that they aren't strangers at all. Also, Felix is a jerk, so once people caught on, Felix had to think fast. The only luck he had is that Adrien is too kind of a person to let his cousin get clobbered by his upset classmates. | |

Castle: One episode featured a celebutante heiress (Odette) who ran into a stripper (Barbara) who looked incredibly similar to her. Odette then paid for Barbara's plastic surgery to make them identical, so that Barbara could serve her community service for her while she went out and continued partying. When Odette is killed in a train crash, Barbara takes advantage of the ruse by taking over Odette's life. Once she got some distance from the few people who had been actually close with Odette, rather than just fellow partiers, there was no one to see through the ruse. She's eventually killed by Odette's exboyfriend when he finally figures it out. | |

The Rookie (2018): "Day In The Hole" sees Tim run into a criminal who looks just like him, to the point that his colleagues half-jokingly wonder whether they the pair are long lost twins (they aren't). He then uses this to go undercover and impersonate the guy, to arrest his drug supplier. The guy's girlfriend is Lucy's doppleganger too. Naturally, both are played by the same two actors. When Tim’s doppelganger is killed it leads the team to a collection of black market art, which included a painting of a Haitian revolutionary that looked exactly like Sgt. Grey (Grey said he wasn't aware of any Haitian ancestry but couldn't rule out that it was a case of Identical Grandson). |

Subaru and Ginga Nakajima from StrikerS and Rinne Berlinetta from ViVid Strike! combine this with Strong Family Resemblance, as part of the reason they were adopted is due to them looking uncannily similar to their adoptive mothers. In the case of the Nakajima sisters, this turns out to be the result of them having been cloned from Quint, but Rinne's resemblance to Lorrie is a complete coincidence. |

On Days of Our Lives, when Kristen Blake DiMera miscarried John Black's baby, she feared John would leave her for his true love Marlena Evans. So Kristen's father, Supervillain Stefano DiMera, located an Identical Stranger, Susan Banks, whom he seduced and impregnated by dressing up as her idol, Elvis Presley. Susan then impersonated Kristen for doctor's appointments, using a mouthpiece to hide her terrible buck teeth. Later, after the ruse was uncovered, Kristen tried to kill Marlena and then used a mouthpiece to impersonate Susan in hopes of taking over the latter's life and escaping prosecution. Meanwhile, Susan turned out to be one of a set of quadruplets, and her siblings Sister Mary Moira Banks, Thomas Banks, and Penelope Kent all arrived in Salem. Actress Eileen Davidson played all five roles, and received a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in 1998 for her efforts. | |

Spoofed in a filler episode of Naruto where Ino is asked to be the Body Double of a princess that "looks just like her," which she does... not counting the fact that said princess probably weighs two to three times more than Ino. That was because Princess Fuku used to look a lot (though not exactly) like Ino, but when she was nervous about meeting the guy she was arranged to marry she started eating a lot and got fat, so now she needs Ino to take her place. | |

In Strangers at the Heart's Core, Lesla became (more) unhinged and convinced herself that she and Supergirl were twins. Supergirl replied it was impossible they were sisters (they weren't even born on the same planet) and their similarity was due to some "cosmic coincidence". | |

Played several times in the Sweet Valley High series Surfer Bill Chase becomes infatuated with the twins due to their resemblance to his deceased girlfriend. Elizabeth eyes a guy who resembles her departed boyfriend Todd, but dumps him when she realizes he's a jerk. Older brother Steve dumps his girlfriend Cara at least twice to pursue girls who resemble his dead girlfriend Tricia. Adding insult to injury, despite acknowledging the physical similarity, he refuses to see either girl as her own separate person and instead continues to insist, "She's just like Tricia!", despite all evidence to the contrary. It's not until one girl tells him she deserves better than being used as a substitute and dumps him that he realizes how unhealthy his behavior is. Then the main-character twins encounter their Identical Stranger Margo, who then is revealed to have an identical twin herself — so there actually are four Identical Strangers. All combined with a murder plot. On top of this, it's mentioned that Margo's deceased mother looked exactly like Alice Wakefield. |

After Jean Grey kills herself in The Dark Phoenix Saga, Cyclops eventually meets Madelyne Pryor, a non-mutant airplane pilot who's a dead ringer for the departed Jean. At first, Scott thinks Maddie may somehow be Jean/Phoenix reincarnated, but she proves not to be. They eventually fall in love, get married, have a son, and Scott retires from the X-Men. This was the writer's original plan, for Maddie to just be an unrelated woman who happened to look exactly like Jean. This trope then got subverted by Executive Meddling, when it turns out Maddie is actually a clone of Jean created by Mister Sinister as part of his plan to get Scott and Jean (or someone with her genetic profile) to reproduce and create a genetically perfect being, and Maddie Goes Mad from the Revelation - and influence from the demons of Limbo - awakens her latent mutant powers plus black magic and becomes the villainous Goblin Queen. Then she dies. Then it turns out that, not only was Jean not dead (just in a cocoon at the bottom of the Hudson river), she was never actually Phoenix in the first place but was just impersonated by the cosmic entity Phoenix (maybe; that last part gets retconned constantly).note All of this was because it was decided that the new series X-Factor would star the original five X-Men. Which wouldn't be possible if Jean stayed dead and Scott stayed retired. | |

Fist of the North Star has Yuria and Mamyia. In the manga, they as Kenshiro and Toki note look completely identical to each other (with Kenshiro initially mistaking Mamyia for Yuria), yet they aren’t sisters or related at all. Their resemblance is actually the reason why Ken couldn’t reciprocate Mamyia’s feelings for him, since she painfully reminded him too much of Yuria who was his fiancé. Interestingly Raoh despite being in love with Yuria himself, unlike his brothers doesn’t acknowledge Mamyia’s similarity to Yuria when meeting her. The anime and games to their credit do make Yuria and Mamyia look more distinct, giving Yuria a different hair colour from Mamyia, contrasting to the manga where they’re both dark haired. | |

Neighbours Gabrielle Walker, a guest character was the spitting image of Harold Bishop's daughter Kerry (both played by Linda Hartley-Clark), who had been killed fifteen years earlier. Several other characters who had known Kerry were shocked by the resemblance. Andrea Somers, a con artist who showed up in Ramsay Street attempting to impersonate the missing presumed drowned Dione Bliss (both played by Madeleine West). Two years after she was introduced, they were retconned to be twin sisters Separated at Birth the whole time. |

A strange case cropped up on All My Children. Tad got Easy Amnesia and ended up in California, where he met Nola Orsini, who instantly recognized him as her long-lost son Ted. Ted had disappeared as a child, but Nola saw Tad and knew this was what Ted would grow up to look like. After a few years, Tad returned to Pine Valley and got his memory back. The following year, it turned out Nola was right. The real Ted showed up, and he looked exactly like Tad. | |

Wonder Woman: Originally, she met her injured love interest's nurse, who conveniently looked exactly like her, was also named Diana, and needed Wonder Woman's help to join her boyfriend in another country as well. Wonder Woman bought the Diana Prince identity from this nurse. Sensation Comics: At one point a woman falls in love with Steve Trevor from a photograph in a newspaper, and Steve and Diana find another military man that looks just like Steve for the lady. Wonder Woman (1942): While Diana and the Holliday Girls are briefly enslaved on Saturn the Saturnian slaver Eviless takes note of how remarkably similar she looks to the Holliday Girl Virginia True and later uses this knowledge to kidnap and impersonate Virginia in order to get revenge on Wonder Woman. |

In The Snow Queen, Gerda is looking for her missing friend Kai, and a crow tells her that Kai is living as a prince now. Gerda investigates, but the prince is just a guy who looks like Kai. An odd example, because Kai and the prince never even meet; it's just a Red Herring, or rather, an excuse for Gerda to hear the prince's backstory and nestle an extra fairy tale within this one. | |

There's an episode of The Phil Silvers Show where Bilko turns out to have a double. They never meet until the final scene but they keep getting mistaken for each other and much Hilarity Ensues. Another episode involved Bilko promising a Bing Crosby concert to the troops. Unfortunately Bing was late to arrive so Bilko tried to placate the troops by passing off as Bing a soldier who happened to be a lookalike. The double couldn't sing, however, with his only talent being that he can recite Longfellow's poem "The Wreck of the Hesperus". Bing saved the day by arriving at the end of the episode—and proceeded to entertain the troops by reciting "The Wreck of the Hesperus". |

Gian gets a gorilla disguise because of his size, and it just so happens there's a gorilla child named Goriro who's an exact doppelganger of Gian. A Running Gag in the anime involves Goriro's strict father trying to spank Gian for slacking off, only to realize he's spanking the wrong kid. | |

Gundam 00 has a version thanks to Cloning; Flashbacks will occasionally feature people who are the genetic source material for modern clones. Gundam 00 A Wakening Of The Trail Blazer introduced Meena Carmine, whose ancestor's DNA was used to make Nena Trinity, and a flashback shows that Aeolia Schenberg was friends with a man named E.A. Ray, whose DNA would be used to make Ribbons Almark, the TV series' Big Bad as well as the lookalike who menaces Setsuna during the events of the movie. | |

Downplayed in one episode where another doctor looks like JD, though not exactly like him, and other people think he's JD. One minor side character is known as Snoop Dogg intern (later resident, then attending) because of his strong resemblance to Snoop Dogg. |

In The Sorcerer's Daughter, the plot point from Swan Lake of Odette and Odile being inexplicably similar is exploited. However, they turn out to be distinguishable from each other especially when seen together, as Odile is younger, her hair is of a lighter shade, and her eyes are a different color. Finally, it's revealed they are second cousins, hence the likeness. | |

If Luo Binghe thinks it's a ploy from the Heavens to prevent a filthy demon from marrying a Celestial by giving him this particular face (as Luo Binghe hated Shen Qingqiu to the point he tortured the man to death), it has the potential to land Shen Yuan in hot water as he receives a premonition of being murdered because of a Mistaken Identity. | |

'Discworld': The Truth: The villains of the book discover that one random haberdasher named Charlie in the city of Pseudopolis is near idential match for Lord Vetinari of Anhk-Morpork. They plan to take down Vetinari by having the double commit some crime and framing Vetinari for it forcing the man to step down. After the criminals are exposed, Charlie is saved. He is sometimes called upon to play Vetinari again by the man himself when the Partician wants to take some time away from the city and not let on he's not there. Wyrd Sisters, where the hidden heir to the throne looks almost exactly like the Fool. Seemingly subverted when we find out that the Fool is the bastard son of the former King and a peasant woman. Then re-subverted in a different way when we find out that it's the other way round: the Fool's parents were correct, but the supposed heir is actually the son of the former Queen and the former Fool, meaning they still share the same father. |

Elementary: One episode featured a website that used facial recognition technology to connect people with their doppelgangers. The Victim of the Week used the website to find someone that could impersonate him to volunteer his DNA in order to cover up his involvement in an old crime. This got the doppelganger killed right before the killer realized his mistake and killed his real target. The main clue is provided by the "more scrupulous twin", another doppelganger who was asked to do a DNA test in the victim's stead (but refused, even though he believed it to be a paternity test). |

Ryan George, creator and star of the Pitch Meetings series and other comedy skits on YouTube, plays all of the characters in his videos almost all of the time. In most skits the fact all his characters have the same face is not a factor, but sometimes the characters do realize they look alike. One such skit has a potential victim of identity theft realizing he might be in trouble when the aspiring criminal looks just like him. | |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles ~Animal Adventure~: Dakke, an amnesiac young boy from the 1980s accidentally dragged into the future, is another dead ringer to Nobita. Though it's justified when Dakke is actually Nobita's own father, Nobisuke, suffering from Easy Amnesia, something Nobita doesn't find out until near the end of the adventure. | |

In the last two Time Scout books, Skeeter Jackson and Noah Armstrong look very similar. It's the coloring and the bone structure, and a complete coincidence. And Skeeter still has to undergo plastic surgery to complete the resemblance. It was close, but not identical beforehand. |

Robin (1993): When Scarab tries to kill Robin in his civilian identity she comes up with a list of people who match her profile and look eerily similar to Tim Drake. When Ulysses tries the same thing (though his list is shorter because Scarab got partway through hers) with Red Robin he kills three guys who could have easily passed for Tim with adjustments to their hair, a bit of makeup and colored contacts before Tim figures out what's going on. The look alike Tim meets and saves has a stronger jawline and larger shoulders than Tim but is still rather similar. | |

Shinichi Kudou and Kaitou Kid. Originally this was just because Kaitou was created first and Shinichi reused his appearance, but after they were established as having a Shared Universe, the resemblance became explicit in-series. In some of the Non Serial Movies, Kaitou impersonates Shinichi without his usual disguises and one OVA has Kaitou lose a part of his Kid uniform after parachuting into some trees, then find the Detective Boys and pretend that he's Shinichi so they won't find out. | |

In Tokyo Mew Mew, Mashio from the PS2 game and Aoyamada from a filler episode are Identical Strangers to Aoyama Masaya, with similar personalities as well. He's never around when this happens, as both instances of Ichigo meeting them are in remote areas where practically nobody but them lives. Given that they're scattered across the continent and have the same personality traits that are explicitly stated to have been implanted in Masaya by Deep Blue, it's possible that said alien overlord actually thought ahead and left a few spare host bodies lying around. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes lacks the Me's a Crowd justification for co-op multiplayer the Four Swords games have, and is simply handwaved by there being a prophecy of three heroes having hair parted to the side, big sideburns and pointy ears (ie: people that look like Link), so the kingdom of Hytopia simply sends a call out for anyone who matches that description to come to their aid. Hytopia also has many characters who look exactly like people who showed up in A Link Between Worlds, the immediately preceding game, but there's no in-universe explanation for this. | |

Xena: Warrior Princess had Meg (a harlot), Diana (a princess) and Leah (a priestess) who all happened to look like Xena. In addition to all of them having being confused for Xena at some point, there were also stories in which they were being confused for each other before Xena arrived on the scene! Lucy Lawless also had two Hercules: The Legendary Journeys roles that were not Xena or the doppelgangers from her own show. Both — an Amazon and Lyla — predated Xena. After Xena's own show got started, Salmoneus compared the similarity between Lyla and Xena for Hercules. |

Donald convinces his double to take Daisy out on a date to win her back, as she had dumped him for his bad manners. Donald soon regrets it, as he finds his doppelganger enjoying the date a little too much. | |

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days gives us another Kairi lookalike: the mysterious fourteenth member of Organization XIII, Xion. This time, she is Kairi with short black hair. Unlike Naminé, Xion also shares Kairi's voice actress (at least in Japanese; English is a bit inconsistent about this). The Reveal is that Xion is a Replica of Sora, designed to sap away Roxas's power. The more power she syphons, the more she resembles Kairi. At her full power, Xion's appearance completely changes to that of a 14-year old Sora. | |

In one episode, Stan uses his to distract Francine while he goes out with another woman (for weird but mostly platonic reasons); in another, creepy episode, the double starts dating Stan's daughter Hayley, presumably because her subconscious is looking for paternal love.

Fate Series: A possible example: Lu Bu's Master in Fate/EXTRA, Rani VIII, could pass for an opposite-sex clone of his compatriot Chen Gong as seen in Fate/Grand Order. The "possible" is because Rani is a Homunculus, leaving it ambiguous whether she was deliberately made in the image of Gong or if their similarity is indeed a coincidence. Lu Bu's dialogue in Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star compares Rani to his wife Diao, which raises the possibility that Diao and Chen Gong were a more conventional example. Fate/Samurai Remnant: According to Samson's flashback, Takao Dayu looks identical to his former lover Delilah, which is why he develops a soft spot for her. Ototachibana-hime possesses Ogasawara Kaya's body. According to a flashback, she looked identical to Kaya when she was alive. |

In The Owl House, Caleb Wittebane, Emperor Belos's older brother, looked almost exactly like Hunter, the only major differences being Hunter's scars, pointy ears, and magenta eyes. It's later revealed that Hunter is a clone of Caleb, the latest in a long line of Grimwalkers that Belos created in an attempt to make a "better version" of his brother, who he murdered for falling in love with a witch. Belos does note that while the Grimwalkers he created were all clones of the same man, Hunter is the one who looks the most like the original. | |

The X-Files: Done as one of the many He Is Not My Boyfriend gags in "The Rain King". Scully and Mulder arrive at a TV station and are at first assumed to be the married couple about to appear on the program. When the real couple arrive they look like country hick versions of the two FBI agents. The Cold Open of Season 7's "Fight Club" has a pair of FBI agents investigating the mysterious events, and it takes a couple minutes of dialogue before the camera shows their faces and reveals that they are two strangers who just happen to look and sound a lot like Mulder and Scully. The episode also has this trope as its central plot, as the actual Mulder and Scully take over the case and discover it revolves around a pair of Identical Strangers who cause destruction and mayhem whenever they're both in the same place at the same time. |

The boy's mother notes the resemblance as well, but is aware that her son was killed in the Western Battlefield.

In Fushigi Yuugi, Nuriko and Lady Houki turn out to be dead-ringers for each other... so much that, after Nuriko's Heroic Sacrifice, Miaka does mistake Houki for a reborn Nuriko when she sees her for the first time. Suzaku hi Den has the two interacting and becoming friends◊ as they arrive to the Royal Harem more or less at the same time, including how the latter tripped on her robes, the first helped her back on her feet... and then they saw each other's faces clearly... | |

In the third game, Kei Amakura resembles a couple people: He bares a strong resemblance to Akito, a visitor that Kyouka (posthumously known as "Brushing Woman") fell in love with. Her spirit isn't happy to see the "return" of her "lover" after all this time, though. Kei resembles the Big Bad's lover. This is explained as said lover being the son of Kyouka and her lover. This actually saves his life in a New Game Plus, as long as you retrieve a certain item, as with that the Big Bad will merely put him into a deep coma instead of killing him. |

Two years before he came to Smallville, Lex Luthor was involved in the death of Jude Royce, which led to Jude’s girlfriend Amanda being committed to an institution and killing herself. By sheer chance, Amanda’s brother Roy discovered a fry cook who just happened to look exactly like Jude, and enlisted him in a complex scheme of revenge against Lex for his role in Jude’s death. | |

Played with in Phantom Thief Jeanne; multiple characters comment on how similar main character Maron looks to her alter ego Jeanne, even though they look different enough to avert Clark Kenting. As a result, Maron's best friend Miyako easily figures out that Maron and Jeanne are the same person and only pretends to be in the dark so that no one else gets suspicious (her father is the detective assigned to catch Jeanne). | |

Doraemon has several movies where the gang meets identical doppelgangers of themselves. Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan: The gang meets Kukuru, a child from the Stone Age accidentally displaced into modern-day Japan, who looks almost exactly like Nobita. Gian and Suneo are wondering why Nobita's behaving strangely when a confused Kukuru attacks them, leading to Gian knocking Kukuru unconscious and questioning what's wrong with Nobita... just as the real Nobita steps in from behind. Doraemon: Nobita and the Animal Planet: Set in a World of Funny Animals, the gang puts on Doraemon's Animal Disguise Kit to blend with the locals. Gian gets a gorilla disguise because of his size, and it just so happens there's a gorilla child named Goriro who's an exact doppelganger of Gian. A Running Gag in the anime involves Goriro's strict father trying to spank Gian for slacking off, only to realize he's spanking the wrong kid. Doraemon: Nobita's the Legend of the Sun King: Nobita and Tio, the prince of a Mayan-like kingdom existing in another universe, are practically clones of each other. Prince Tio, naturally curious about the world outside his own, proposes they swap places for a day, leading to a Prince and Pauper-style plot (which works amazingly well - even Nobita's mother couldn't tell Prince Tio is in his place). Doraemon: Nobita's Three Visionary Swordsmen: The whole gang enters Dream Land and gets to transform into their dream counterparts, which are exact clones of their real-world selves. Nobita becomes Nobitania, Shizuka turns into Shizukaria, while Gian and Suneo become Giantosu and Sunemisu. Doraemon: Nobita and the Galaxy Super-express has an example between two unrelated characters. The technician on the Dinosaur Planet looks exactly like Mr.Koike, a minor character from the manga. As the Galaxy Express and her staff come from the distant future 200 years later, the technician could be an Identical Grandson. Doraemon: Nobita and the Green Giant Legend: The Green Planet has a tribe living underneath, and among them is a huge Plant Alien named Moya who looks exactly like Gian, but with green skin. Early on, the gang meets Moya's friend Tama, who mistakes Gian for Moya. Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles ~Animal Adventure~: Dakke, an amnesiac young boy from the 1980s accidentally dragged into the future, is another dead ringer to Nobita. Though it's justified when Dakke is actually Nobita's own father, Nobisuke, suffering from Easy Amnesia, something Nobita doesn't find out until near the end of the adventure. Doraemon: Nobita's Treasure Island: Flocks' sister, Sarah, turns out to be exactly like Shizuka with blond hair. A band of pirates mistaking Shizuka for Sarah and kidnapping her kickstarts the plot of the film, and Sarah, despite being raised as a pirate, is a Nice Girl like Shizuka, both of them even bonding well with each other. The 2021 remake of Doraemon: Nobita's Little Space War has a Canon Foreigner character, Pappi's elder sister Piina who looks almost exactly like Shizuka, right down to having the same fringes in her hair (despite Piina being an alien). When Pappi meets Shizuka for the first time, he's momentarily stunned thinking he saw his sister who's still in another planet. |

The Legend of Zelda: In the opening dialogue of Link's Awakening, Marin is at first mistaken for Princess Zelda. This gets a Call-Forward in the Oracle games that take place immediately before, where Zelda's in-game model is identical to Marin's except for the addition of a crown. Majora's Mask did this to save on production time, with nearly every Hyrulean character from Ocarina of Time having a doppelganger in Termina. Some were altered slightly, and some new characters without a (known) Hyrule counterpart also showed up. While the characters never run into each other, Link experiences the whole "have we met before" situation. Including the various transformation masks despite the very obvious differences between Link's mask-based forms and the people who form the base of those forms (Different hair styles, green clothes, lack of scars or tattoos), people still mistake Goron and Zora Link for Darmani and Mikau. Oddly, despite being based on the Deku Butler's son, no one mistakes Deku Link for him, though the Butler remarks that Deku Link reminds him of his son. Several (if not most) of the various Links tend to fall under this as well. For example, Link from The Wind Waker is unrelated to the same-named individuals who share his Heroic Spirit — yet he somehow manages to be a dead ringer for Minish Cap Link, both Four Swords Links, and Spirit Tracks Link. The last one bears special mention for having several Identical Grandchildren to Wind Waker characters, but the devs stating the two Links are not related. The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes lacks the Me's a Crowd justification for co-op multiplayer the Four Swords games have, and is simply handwaved by there being a prophecy of three heroes having hair parted to the side, big sideburns and pointy ears (ie: people that look like Link), so the kingdom of Hytopia simply sends a call out for anyone who matches that description to come to their aid. Hytopia also has many characters who look exactly like people who showed up in A Link Between Worlds, the immediately preceding game, but there's no in-universe explanation for this. |

Subaru and Ginga Nakajima from StrikerS and Rinne Berlinetta from ViVid Strike! combine this with Strong Family Resemblance, as part of the reason they were adopted is due to them looking uncannily similar to their adoptive mothers.

In MNOG II, they were given the correct masks finally, but this leads to the player character confusing them, which makes Taipu quite mad. The developers were basically poking fun at their own goof-up. | |

The Flintstones had an episode featuring a rich exact double of Fred who gets fed up with his stressful life and runs away. His employers then encounter Fred and ask him to take the double's place, until Fred himself also gets fed up and leaves. All the while, the double has been going around encountering Fred's friends and family and acting like a jerk to them, only for Fred to arrive home to everyone treating him like dirt and him not understanding why. Kind of sad, really. The plot is recycled in another episode (with an emperor, this time). Fortunately, the confusion gets cleared up at the end. Also used in the finale movie The Man Called Flintstone: Fred is called in to take over the role of the secret agent Rock Slag, who just happens to look exactly like him. The Recycled In Space version of the Flintstones, The Jetsons had the exact same plot in one episode, with a random secret agent looking exactly like George Jetson. A similar plot to that first example is used in an episode where an invading alien sends androids down to Earth that not only happen to look exactly like Fred, but also "Yabba dabba doo" just happens to be all they can say. Fred assumes they're his friends playing a joke gone too far, until he learns he inadvertently saved the world. This episode has a happier ending where "Fred's" strange behavior is blamed on the diet he was on and he's taken off it, much to his delight. |

Wyrd Sisters, where the hidden heir to the throne looks almost exactly like the Fool. Seemingly subverted when we find out that the Fool is the bastard son of the former King and a peasant woman. Then re-subverted in a different way when we find out that it's the other way round: the Fool's parents were correct, but the supposed heir is actually the son of the former Queen and the former Fool, meaning they still share the same father. | |

The Gundam Wing sequel novel Frozen Teardrop, which is set 30 years after the show but has extensive flashbacks to the generation before, uses this trope and Identical Grandson extensively. Trowa Barton's successor Trowa Phobos looks exactly like him, while the younger version of Doktor S (creator of Gundam Heavyarms) looks like Trowa with different hair. The biggest stand-out is that both Heero Yuys — the legendary colonial leader and the Gundam Pilot for whom he's named — look identical, despite the fact that the original Heero was shown in at least one episode and looked completely different...to say nothing of the fact that nobody in the anime ever noticed a resemblance between Pilot!Heero and his incredibly famous namesake. Just to make things weirder, Original!Heero was in a Love Triangle with Katrina and Sabrina Peacecraft, the mother and aunt (respectively) of Wing's female lead and Pilot!Heero's own Love Interest Relena... and they happen to be twin sisters as well, meaning that they look exactly like Relena only with slightly different hairstyles. | |

The Assignment (1997). While holidaying in Israel, a Cuban-American naval officer is mistaken for notorious terrorist Carlos the Jackal and arrested. The matter is quickly resolved, but the Mossad and CIA realise they have an opportunity to kill off the real Carlos, and recruit the officer into a scheme to make the KGB think Carlos has become a CIA informant. But it's not enough for him just to look like Carlos; he has to think and act like him as well, so he finds himself Becoming the Mask. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, an alternate retelling-slash-prequel to Mobile Suit Gundam, introduces a real Char Aznable, who looks exactly like Casval Deikun (the Char fans know and love) except for eye color (Casval has blue, Char has brown). When Casval learns that the Zabis are out to get him, he pulls a rather... cold-blooded Twin Switch, getting poor Char killed and assuming his identity. This actually briefly lead to an Epileptic Tree that Full Frontal from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn was Real!Char who had somehow survived. But instead, it turned out that Full Frontal was a more literal "Char Clone" than usual, being an actual clone of Casval Deikun. | |

Petros Xanatos meets them and asks if they're related, which they deny.

They have the same faces, but despite everyone acting like they're totally identical they're easy to tell apart because they have different hair and tend to wear very different expressions: Yuto, one of Yuya's look-alikes, is a Perpetual Frowner, while Yuya always tries to keep a smile on his face. | |

Final Fantasy VI has Celes being nearly identical in appearance to Maria, the famous opera singer, and ends up having to substitute for her as part of a Zany Scheme to get the party onboard Setzer's airship. Some theorize that, as Celes is a Designer Baby, she may well either be a clone or close genetic relative of Maria (she certainly seems to share Maria's talent for opera, after all, being able to perform well enough to fool the obsessed fan Setzer despite never having sung before in her life). This has not been officially endorsed by the source material. We never actually see Maria in the game, so we have to take the other characters' word for it about their resemblance. | |

Tashir in Magic's Promise has an uncanny resemblance to Vanyel's dead lover Tylendel. Van has to see him up close and in good light before he can really register the differences. When he meets Tashir's Evil Uncle he's struck by the sense that this is what Tylendel would have looked like if he'd lived past his teens. It's possible that they're related, since they all belong to noble families with some inclination towards the Mage-Gift, but the characters never so much as wonder about that. | |

In Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, one episode features an actress named Carolyn who is identical to Kendrix Morgan, the Pink Ranger. Kendrix ends up swapping places with the actress to give her a break. Over the course of the episode, the actress learns to not be so bitchy, and Kendrix for her part gains a bit of confidence from filling in for the actress at her job. Towards the end, the actress takes advantage of the resemblance to confuse the Monster of the Week. The same thing happened in its Super Sentai counterpart, Seijuu Sentai Gingaman, with GingaPink, Saya. | |

Gundam: Gundam 00 has a version thanks to Cloning; Flashbacks will occasionally feature people who are the genetic source material for modern clones. Gundam 00 A Wakening Of The Trail Blazer introduced Meena Carmine, whose ancestor's DNA was used to make Nena Trinity, and a flashback shows that Aeolia Schenberg was friends with a man named E.A. Ray, whose DNA would be used to make Ribbons Almark, the TV series' Big Bad as well as the lookalike who menaces Setsuna during the events of the movie. The Gundam Wing sequel novel Frozen Teardrop, which is set 30 years after the show but has extensive flashbacks to the generation before, uses this trope and Identical Grandson extensively. Trowa Barton's successor Trowa Phobos looks exactly like him, while the younger version of Doktor S (creator of Gundam Heavyarms) looks like Trowa with different hair. The biggest stand-out is that both Heero Yuys — the legendary colonial leader and the Gundam Pilot for whom he's named — look identical, despite the fact that the original Heero was shown in at least one episode and looked completely different...to say nothing of the fact that nobody in the anime ever noticed a resemblance between Pilot!Heero and his incredibly famous namesake. Just to make things weirder, Original!Heero was in a Love Triangle with Katrina and Sabrina Peacecraft, the mother and aunt (respectively) of Wing's female lead and Pilot!Heero's own Love Interest Relena... and they happen to be twin sisters as well, meaning that they look exactly like Relena only with slightly different hairstyles. |

In the Star Trek: Lower Decks episode "Old Friends, New Planets", when Nick Locarno appears and makes his grand reveal of Nova Fleet, Rutherford realizes that Locarno looks like Tom Paris. Boimler, a major Paris fanboy, just doesn't see the resemblance.note Both characters were played by Robert Duncan McNeill and Locarno was the inspiration for Paris | |

In one episode of Goof Troop, Goofy and Pete are mistaken for brothers and inherited a group of sea creatures. It's then revealed that the actual inheritors look exactly like them, except for switched personalities. Finding out there are two Goofys in the world is what Pete considers his worst nightmare. | |

A Tale of Two Cities has this as a central plot point. Because of Sydney Carton's strong resemblance to Charles Darnay, a plot to discredit Darnay and have him convicted of espionage falls apart, and then when Darnay is slated to be executed for being a member of the Evremonde family, Sydney takes his place so Darnay can escape. | |

Grant from CollegeHumor and Keith from Buzzfeed are so similar that the former site made a sketch called "Is Grant Keith from Buzzfeed?" Throughout the sketch, they swap which one is wearing which shirt — sometimes both being played by the same person — and even bring in their twin brothers Keith and Grant to make things even more confusing. | |

In a Why Not? crossover from Dynamite Comics featuring Army of Darkness' Ash Williams and Xena. Bruce Campbell's likeness played a triple role, Ash, a mini Ash called Ash-It, and Autolycus. The two "full size" Bruces being mistaken for each other is a plot point. (And very Xena-appropriate; see below.) Ash also met an identical stranger in the Evil Dead/Marvel Zombies crossover...but it was actually Ashley G. Williams, a supermarket employee who happened to be the Marvel Universe version of Ash. |

The Warlord: The white-haired Warlord, Travis Morgan, ends up in Seattle, home of blonde Green Arrow. Morgan is mistaken for the persona-non-grata Arrow and is consequently attacked by half of Seattle's criminal population, leading to a confrontation with his double to find out why everyone in town hates him. In Morgan's own series, Morgan had a double who was used by his foes to attempt to take over the kingdom. Shakira turns out to be a dead ringer for a kidnapped princess, leading to an Emergency Impersonation scenario. |

The Top Cat episode "The Missing Heir". When reading the heir’s physical description in the newspaper, the cast realise that Benny matches that description perfectly. Unsurprisingly, by the end, it’s revealed Benny is not the heir, but the real one is near identical, outside of a birthmark on his foot (the matching birthmark on Benny turning out to actually be a piece of chewing gum). | |

When Anko loses her lens (after being shocked seeing a living poop), she is obliged to put her glasses and is mistaken for Arale by Senbei that takes her to the Norimaki Residence. While searching for her friend, Nonko meets Arale and mistakes her for Anko. Nonko realizes that Arale is not Anko only when in the plane back to their home. | |

Where We Don't Belong: Everyone comments on the similarity between Nia and Mio; not only is Mio arrested under a case of Mistaken Identity, but Nia talks to her about Flesh Eaters after Brighid declares she's one, and Torna's Blade tracker identifies them as nearly identical. Mio's dream implies that Nia is in fact her mother. Downplayed when Sena and Mio see XC2 Vandham, as his appearance due to his Urayan heritage compared to "regular human" XC3 Vandham trips them up until they hear his distinctive voice and hear other people use his name, then the similarities hit them like bricks. |

In season 1, Angel Rosa (an NYPD cop who also does part-time work for TV shows filmed in New York City who need police extras) plays a dirty cop on Wilson Fisk's payroll, and is seen being arrested by the FBI in the season finale. Rosa reappears in season 3 playing a cop with a different name who responds to the "shots-fired" call when Dex interrupts Matt and Nadeem's attempt to break in to his place. | |

Case Closed has several: Shinichi Kudou and Kaitou Kid. Originally this was just because Kaitou was created first and Shinichi reused his appearance, but after they were established as having a Shared Universe, the resemblance became explicit in-series. In some of the Non Serial Movies, Kaitou impersonates Shinichi without his usual disguises and one OVA has Kaitou lose a part of his Kid uniform after parachuting into some trees, then find the Detective Boys and pretend that he's Shinichi so they won't find out. In Lupin III vs. Detective Conan, Ran Mouri and Crown Princess Mira of Vespania look enough alike that Mira makes Ran her unwilling royal double for a while. And then poor Ran is drugged and taken back to Vespania to continue the role. The Detective Boys' schoolteacher Sumiko Kobayashi has an uncanny resemblance to police detective Miwako Satou plus glasses. In later issues, Shiratori realizes that his affection for Satou was misplaced because he had met a police-obsessed and glasses-less Kobayashi at a bookstore when they were both children, and had subsequently mistaken the adult Satou for her. Kobayashi herself resents this when she finds out, mistakenly thinking that he's using her to forget Satou, though by that point Shiratori had properly realised who the girl he loved actually was. The three Osaka kids that Conan meets in the OVA, "Conan and Heiji and the Vanished Boy" strongly resemble the Detective Boys. Even their names sound very alike: Mayumi, Mikihiko, and Kenta. In movie 9 Akiyoshi Minako strongly resembles Ran's mother Eri, so much that Kogoro attempts to prove her innocence... and then he finds out that she is the true murderer. In one of the OAVs, it turns out Ai is a dead-ringer for child actress Grace Aihara. Ran is said to look a lot like a younger version of Ai's dead older sister Akemi , to the point that Ai was reluctant to get close to Ran because she was still reeling from her terrible loss... but once Ran saved Ai's life, she became almost desperately protective of Ran as a result. It even gets lampshaded when Ai once stares at Ran and pretty much sees her as Akemi. |

One Piece: Kuina, Zoro's childhood friend from flashbacks who died in a home accident, and Tashigi, a young woman in the Marines, both look and act very similar, to the point that Zoro completely freaks out upon meeting Tashigi, with the only obvious difference being that Tashigi wears glasses (and very clearly needs them) while Kuina does not. Given that Word of God has confirmed these two share the same year of birth and the fact that Oda is the undisputed master of Chekhov's Gun, this has led many people to assume they're one and the same, or at least related, but it's been conclusively proven they're not the same person by Word of God and Chapter/Episode 0. They're later revealed by Oda to have different birthdates (via his common practice of accepting fans' suggestions of birthdays that are thematically appropriate), meaning Tashigi is several months older than Kuina, so they're definitely not twins (though secretly being sisters or cousins can't yet be ruled out). In the twist on this trope often found in One Piece, Duval has been given a lot of grief in his life for his resemblance to Sanji—except he doesn't look like the real Sanji, but rather, he looks exactly like the poorly-drawn portrait on the Marines' bounty poster. Plenty of other people have mistaken Duval for his more famous lookalike, and Duval has had to fend off bounty hunters attempting to capture or kill him, causing him to develop a deep grudge. In his cover page story, the minor villain Caribou washes up on an island and is mistaken for a revolutionary commander named Gaburu who coincidentally looks exactly like him (and turns out to be dead). Caribou is initially confused by the situation, but eventually embraces his mistaken identity and, in a rare instance of selflessness, leads his crew to battle against the tyrannical pirates oppressing the island. The CP8 agent Alpha from Bonney's flashback is a dead ringer for CP9 agent Kalifa. But she definitely isn't actually Kalifa under an alias (as might otherwise be a reasonable assumption for a secret agent), because the flashback doesn't take place far enough back to be before Kalifa was promoted to CP9. Kalifa was already undercover in Galley-La at the time. Plus, Alpha seems significantly less competent than Kalifa and lacks Kalifa's quirks. |

This is how The Wasp entered into Hank Pym's life — she looked similar to his dead wife Maria Trovaya. Later comics double down on this with the flashbacks to Maria having her identical to Jan to the extent they even have the same hairdo. Confusing matters even further, Nadia Pym, Hank’s daughter is also a dead ringer for Janet even though she’s not her biological daughter with the late Maria giving birth to her instead. The justification is that Marvel just wanted a substitute for Hope who is Hank and Janet’s daughter in Marvel Comics 2 and the MCU, without Jan herself having to give birth to her. | |

When she challenges him, he realizes it isn't Jean, but she "sure has Jeanie's spunk though."

Fate/Zero: Saber looks exactly like Jeanne d'Arc. Caster, a.k.a. Gilles de Rais/Bluebeard, who was in love with Jeanne, is thoroughly convinced she is an amnesiac Jeanne despite her efforts to explain she is an entirely different person. In his insanity, he starts committing mass murders, believing this will reawaken her memories. Later appearances by Jeanne show they actually don't look that similar, with different builds, hairstyles, eye color, and facial features, but they're both pale blonde-haired youthful women of good who wear armor and use swords, and Gilles is completely insane, so it's a pretty forgivable mistake. | |

Big City Greens gives us Zillon Brax, a famous pop singer who looks exactly like Cricket, minus the darker hair color and with the addition of a Tooth Strip. Their uncanny resemblance is what mistakes one for the other and vice versa. | |

Futurama. Flexo and Bender are both bending units, AKA the same model of robots. They were made to look identical on purpose by Mom's factories. While they are strangers yes, they're technically related. The one way to tell them apart: Flexo has a goatee. In "The Silence of the Clamps", Bender had to go into the Witness Protection Program to stay safe from the Robot Mafia. While making a delivery on the moon, the crew sees a robot farmer that looks like Bender but acts like he doesn't know them. At first they think Bender is doing a pretty good acting job until Professor sees the robot's memory circuit and thinks Bender has been reprogrammed. Despite Zoidberg protecting the robot from Clamps, he is killed by the Donbot's daughter who Bender abandoned. The crew then grieves over Bender's apparent death at a pizza parlor, where it's revealed that's where Bender was actually hiding. Upon realizing that an innocent bot was killed...they celebrate the fact that with the Robot Mafia thinking Bender was dead, he can come out of hiding. |

Several (if not most) of the various Links tend to fall under this as well. For example, Link from The Wind Waker is unrelated to the same-named individuals who share his Heroic Spirit — yet he somehow manages to be a dead ringer for Minish Cap Link, both Four Swords Links, and Spirit Tracks Link. The last one bears special mention for having several Identical Grandchildren to Wind Waker characters, but the devs stating the two Links are not related. | |

Nunnally Lamperouge and Rolo Haliburton from Code Geass look pretty much the same except for their sex, despite being unrelated. They have the same features, pale skin, light brown hair, and purple eyes (though Nunners' are perpetually closed until the Grand Finale.

By Fate/Grand Order, "Saberfaces" are common enough that it's actually a special quality a Servant can have, like being dragon-blooded or divine. While Jeanne being a Saberface is from Fate/Apocrypha, and it's only to be expected that Saber's sister and clone-daughter (Morgan and Mordred respectively) look a lot like her, it soon starts getting ridiculous. At least Saber, Jeanne, and Nero are European; Okita is Japanese and yet is completely indistinguishable from Saber. Eventually there is a "Saber Wars" event dealing with all the Saberfaces, at least a few of which actually are different copies of the real Saber doing a terrible job of pretending to be someone else. | |

The Truth: The villains of the book discover that one random haberdasher named Charlie in the city of Pseudopolis is near idential match for Lord Vetinari of Anhk-Morpork. They plan to take down Vetinari by having the double commit some crime and framing Vetinari for it forcing the man to step down. After the criminals are exposed, Charlie is saved. He is sometimes called upon to play Vetinari again by the man himself when the Partician wants to take some time away from the city and not let on he's not there. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VI has Celes being nearly identical in appearance to Maria, the famous opera singer, and ends up having to substitute for her as part of a Zany Scheme to get the party onboard Setzer's airship. Some theorize that, as Celes is a Designer Baby, she may well either be a clone or close genetic relative of Maria (she certainly seems to share Maria's talent for opera, after all, being able to perform well enough to fool the obsessed fan Setzer despite never having sung before in her life). This has not been officially endorsed by the source material. We never actually see Maria in the game, so we have to take the other characters' word for it about their resemblance. Final Fantasy X makes Tidus an Identical Stranger to two unrelated characters. In FFX, he's a coincidental doppelganger of Wakka's dead brother and Lulu's lover Chappu, opening the door for Wakka's Big Brother Instinct and Lulu snark. In X-2, we learn that Tidus was actually a dream simulation loosely based on some real person named Shuyin. Wait, so why did he look like Chappu? He didn't look exactly like Chappu, just had a slight resemblance◊, which is more apparent in the artwork. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII: Lumina is Serah Farron with a different outfit and voice. She is the physical manifestation of Lightning's suppressed vulnerabilities, though she also acts as the container of Serah's soul, which is why she looks like her. |

On All in the Family, the local butcher solved his ongoing affections for Edith by finding a girlfriend who looked quite a bit like her (and was also played by Jean Stapleton). At this point, having both on-screen simultaneously was possible, as the show no longer had a studio audience — the laughter heard was from the One Day at a Time audience, who were shown completed AITF episodes. This allowed for a fun reaction when the audience finally got to see the two characters together in the last scene. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable: When the unnamed man who saved Josuke appears in the flashback, he looked practically identical to the present day Josuke (having the same hairdo helps), just with some minor wounds and cuts on his face (which Josuke himself also suffers from time to time). JoJolion: Yoshikage Kira looks like an older Josuke. In fact, a DNA test shows that there's a 95.8% chance that Kira and Josuke are the same person, and that's because "Josuke" is the fusion of Yoshikage Kira and Josefumi Kujo. |

A possible example: Lu Bu's Master in Fate/EXTRA, Rani VIII, could pass for an opposite-sex clone of his compatriot Chen Gong as seen in Fate/Grand Order.

Fairy Tail: This trope is played with using Edolas. 'Mystogan' (Edolas) and Jellal (Earthland) is the most Played Straight example, even sharing the same real first name, even though this gets deconstructed as Wendy confuses the two of them in the Oracion Seis arc. And also by the fact that Mystogan has to hide his face at all times when in Earthland, because he's the double of a notorious criminal. Both Lucy Ashley (Edolas) and Erza Knightwalker (Edolas) end up cutting their hair to avoid confusion with their Earthland counterparts; in the latter case, Erza Scarlet had used her similar appearance to impersonate Erza Knightwalker. All of the above is Justified as Edolas is an Alternate Universe that all Earthland inhabitants have a counterpart in Edolas of. Lisanna Strauss and Yukino Agria are noted to greatly resemble each other. The only way to tell them apart is their different hair colors. |

Love Hina: Kaolla's brother happens to look exactly like a tanned, not-clumsy version of Keitaro in the anime. In the manga is only mentioned. The manga and the Spring Special introduced Nyamo, who looked and acted like a darker-skinned (and somewhat more athletic) version of Shinobu (complete with crush of Keitaro). Given that they did not share a language they did not fool anyone, but the effect was still creepy. |

SpongeBob SquarePants, "No Weenies Allowed": a sponge identical to SpongeBob only with dark hair and the real deal (wearing a rainbow clown wig) both appear at the Salty Spittoon at the same time. "Chocolate With Nuts: During a montage where SpongeBob and Patrick tell lies about chocolate to get customers to buy them, one of the customers that Patrick sell it to a starfish that looks like him, with the difference that the lookalike is wearing a Hawaiian shirt in the style of Patrick's shorts. The writers used a very similar joke in season 6's "Slumber Party". Mr. Krabs sends SpongeBob to his house to spy on Pearl and her sleepover, and then someone named "Girlie Teengirl" from "Farawayville" shows up at the door, looking exactly like SpongeBob in drag. Pearl and her friends aren't fooled and send Girlie running away crying. After that, Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob show up for real, scratching their heads over who the lookalike was. In season 9's "Mall Girl Pearl", Pearl goes to apply for a job at Scorched Coral (a blatant spoof of Hot Topic), only for her friend to tell her that they already gave the one open position to a whale who looks like a goth version of Pearl with black and red clothes, eyeliner, and spiky hair. At the end of season 12's "The Ballad of Filthy Muck," what appeared to be Patrick covered in mud and grime turns out to actually be another individual entirely who happened to have an uncanny resemblance. The real Patrick had decided to take a shower after he was kicked out of the Krusty Krab for being unhygienic earlier, just so he could order food again. |

El Goonish Shive: Diane is physically identical to Susan. The two are distinguishable only by hair colornote Susan used to dye hers dark blue, being a natural blonde just like Diane, until magical shenanigans made her hair permanently the same shade as her hair dye. and fashion sense (and, since Susan got a magic-powered growth spurt, height). Despite this it appears that they have never met. Considering the amount of lampshade hanging around this one, as well as the fact that we know of at least one way for this to be perfectly possible (not counting identical twins separated at birth), this is probably going to become important later. Indeed, it turns out to be a case of Identical great-great-great-grand-niece, or something like that. In the "Death Sentence" arc, Raven casts a disguise spell on Grace so he can pass her off as his niece. The disguise looks just like Susan. He doesn't know it at the time, but Raven actually is Diane's father and Susan's ancestor. After Diane becomes interested in Elliot, she starts watching the online review show he's doing with Susan. She doesn't notice the similarity, and just refers to Susan as "lanky bitch." The artist has admitted that the resemblance originated in his limited artistic ability in the early stages of the comic, and by the time it was pointed out to him, both characters were too well established to change them. |

Majora's Mask did this to save on production time, with nearly every Hyrulean character from Ocarina of Time having a doppelganger in Termina. Some were altered slightly, and some new characters without a (known) Hyrule counterpart also showed up. While the characters never run into each other, Link experiences the whole "have we met before" situation. Including the various transformation masks despite the very obvious differences between Link's mask-based forms and the people who form the base of those forms (Different hair styles, green clothes, lack of scars or tattoos), people still mistake Goron and Zora Link for Darmani and Mikau. Oddly, despite being based on the Deku Butler's son, no one mistakes Deku Link for him, though the Butler remarks that Deku Link reminds him of his son. | |

Final Fantasy X makes Tidus an Identical Stranger to two unrelated characters. In FFX, he's a coincidental doppelganger of Wakka's dead brother and Lulu's lover Chappu, opening the door for Wakka's Big Brother Instinct and Lulu snark. In X-2, we learn that Tidus was actually a dream simulation loosely based on some real person named Shuyin. Wait, so why did he look like Chappu? He didn't look exactly like Chappu, just had a slight resemblance◊, which is more apparent in the artwork. |

Doctor Who: In "The Massacre", the First Doctor was a dead ringer for the Abbot of Amboise. This led to much confusion for his companion Steven Taylor, who encountered the Abbott and believed him to be the Doctor. In "The Enemy of the World", the Second Doctor looked almost identical to Villain with Good Publicity Ramón Salamander; the only difference was Salamander's slightly darker skin tone. At one point, the Doctor is seen applying Brown Face onscreen in order to impersonate Salamander. In the Fifth Doctor story "Black Orchid", Nyssa was a dead ringer for Ann Talbot. In "The Androids of Tara", Romana looked identical to Princess Strella. To make things more complicated, both had android duplicates of them created over the course of the story. This meant that Mary Tamm ended up playing four roles: Romana, Strella and android versions of each. And these are all cases of a Human Alien being a dead ringer for a human. Also subverted. In another Fifth Doctor story, "Arc of Infinity", the Doctor was shot by a fellow Time Lord, Commander Maxil. The Doctor would then go on to resemble the aforementioned Commander, as both were played by Colin Baker. Baker wanted to play both Maxil and The Doctor in a scene to lampshade it, but no dice. "The Fires of Pompeii" resulted in a major one. Peter Capaldi was in the episode, playing a merchant saved from the eruption by the Tenth Doctor; he would then go on to play the Twelfth Doctor himself. A later episode features a delayed Identical Stranger plot as the Doctor figures out why he resembles a guy he saved from Pompeii. In the course of the seventh series of the new series, the Doctor encounters Clara Oswald three times in three completely different times and places, and witnesses her death twice. This spurs him into trying to figure out how he can keep encountering the same person. Ultimately, however, this is a subversion, as the other Claras are all "echoes" of the original scattered across space-and-time. |

Though they don't meet until the sequel, in Child of the Storm, it is repeatedly noted that Harry and Clark Kent look exactly alike — though the resemblance diminishes to siblings/close cousins as Harry starts resembling his mother a little more. This one is actually justified, however — when Thor was incarnated as James Potter, Odin went out of his way to give the House of El a nod by moulding James!Thor's appearance to mimic the 'El look'. | |

Fatal Frame: In the first game, Mafuyu Hinasaki looks nearly identical to the man Kirie fell in love with before the ceremony. During a flashback that Miku observes of Kirie's memories, she even mistakes the guy for Mafuyu for a second. In the third game, Kei Amakura resembles a couple people: He bares a strong resemblance to Akito, a visitor that Kyouka (posthumously known as "Brushing Woman") fell in love with. Her spirit isn't happy to see the "return" of her "lover" after all this time, though. Kei resembles the Big Bad's lover. This is explained as said lover being the son of Kyouka and her lover. This actually saves his life in a New Game Plus, as long as you retrieve a certain item, as with that the Big Bad will merely put him into a deep coma instead of killing him. |

JAG: Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie, Harm's new partner, is trying to figure out why Harm is being so awkward around her. Mac resembling a murdered acquaintance of Harm's was the result of Catherine Bell having previously played the murder victim in "Skeleton Crew", a Lost Episode from the first season before the show hopped networks and was retooled. This ends up as a (dead-serious) Brick Joke two and a half seasons later in "Death Watch", when Mac confronts her doppelganger's killer, who is startled by what looks like the murdered woman's ghost, causing them to stumble backwards off of the pier to their death. |

In Beast Wars, Optimus Primal has very nearly the same face as Optimus Prime (albeit with the ability to open his mouthplate and different-colored eyes), as well as a near-identical name. This is a relic of the series's original pitch, where Primal was a future version of Prime; the series proper treated him as a completely different person who just happened to look the same for no particular reason. (Not unheard of in Transformers, admittedly.) | |

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Gullivarrr looks almost exactly like Gulliver, with the sole difference being that Gullivarrr is a Pirate while Gulliver is a sailor. The game's interface even refers to him as "Gulliver" when you first encounter him in your island before he propertly introduces himself. Your villagers also notice the resemblance he has to Gulliver and some of them even wonder if he is impersonating him. In a case of Gameplay and Story Integration Gulliver and Gullivarrr can both show up as visitors in your island on the same week, but never on consecutive days. | |

City Hunter: Inspector Hirotaka Kitao looks almost exactly like Hideyuki, to the point that Kaori herself mistook him for his ghost. Interestingly, Ryo states that they look completely different, implying that either there is some physical difference Kaori and Saeko can't see or he could notice the difference in their character with a single look (or he actually forgot Hideyuki's face as he claimed). | |

Nasuverse: In the Fate/Prototype prequel Fragments of Sky Silver, Saber says that Ayaka Sajyou looks exactly like Vivian, the Lady of the Lake. Fate/strange Fake: One of the Masters for the Holy Grail War is Ayaka Sajyou. Several characters assume she is the same Ayaka from Fate/Prototype, until it is revealed that this is just a Muggle who shares Ayaka's name and face (though Prototype Ayaka is a brunette and this Ayaka is a blonde). The other characters find out Prototype's Ayaka is in Romania oblivious to the events of Strange Fake. Fate/Zero: Saber looks exactly like Jeanne d'Arc. Caster, a.k.a. Gilles de Rais/Bluebeard, who was in love with Jeanne, is thoroughly convinced she is an amnesiac Jeanne despite her efforts to explain she is an entirely different person. In his insanity, he starts committing mass murders, believing this will reawaken her memories. Later appearances by Jeanne show they actually don't look that similar, with different builds, hairstyles, eye color, and facial features, but they're both pale blonde-haired youthful women of good who wear armor and use swords, and Gilles is completely insane, so it's a pretty forgivable mistake. By Fate/Grand Order, "Saberfaces" are common enough that it's actually a special quality a Servant can have, like being dragon-blooded or divine. While Jeanne being a Saberface is from Fate/Apocrypha, and it's only to be expected that Saber's sister and clone-daughter (Morgan and Mordred respectively) look a lot like her, it soon starts getting ridiculous. At least Saber, Jeanne, and Nero are European; Okita is Japanese and yet is completely indistinguishable from Saber. Eventually there is a "Saber Wars" event dealing with all the Saberfaces, at least a few of which actually are different copies of the real Saber doing a terrible job of pretending to be someone else. |

Pokémon: The Series: Late in the DPP arc, the group meets Dawn's doppelganger, Princess Salvia. Salvia uses the resemblance to switch places with Dawn, allowing her to get out of her house and participate in a contest, which she and her Togekiss always wanted to do. To help sell the ruse, Salvia competed not in a traditional contest outfit but Dawn's travel wear, lampshading the short skirt beforehand. Salvia became the second person to win on her contest debut, giving the ribbon to her runner-up Jessie (as Dawn already had five; Jessie also got the other ribbon won by a debutant, her partner James disguised as her because she herself was ill). Ash has been confused for someone else a few times, some of whom even have a Pikachu. Then there's Ritchie... James's fiancee Jessiebelle looks exactly the same as Jessie, except with a different hairstyle and earrings. James never noticed. Jessie and James themselves are this to an extent, in part due to the Only Six Faces nature of the art, and it's lampshaded when one impersonates the other. On one notable occasion, Jessie disguised half of herself as James to cover for her partner's absence; it works. In the episode "Crossing Paths", Jessie meets a boy named Austin who looks exactly like a boy she had a crush on years ago named Astin. An episode of Journeys has Chloe meeting a girl named Soleil who not only looks exactly her (the only way to distinguish them is by their hair highlights), but whose Japanese name even sounds phonetically similar to her own Japanese name; Koharu —> Haruhi. |

Unlike most of the other musical stars in A Song Is Born playing themselves, Benny Goodman plays one of the cloistered professors, Prof. Magenbruch. At one point in the film, the musicians lament the lack of a clarinet player among them and wish that Benny Goodman could be there with them. Frisbee notes that they have a very good clarinet player among his fellow academicians that might be able to stand in... and brings in Magenbruch. (Nobody notices the resemblance, but the audience is in on the gag.) | |

Etra chan saw it!: In this story, Akane accuses Tsutsuji of being a pornstar, using an alleged image of her to prove it. Turns out the pornstar wasn't actually Tsutsuji; as the real Tsutsuji was a chubby high school student by the time the actual actress did her productions. In this story, due to Akamatsu's wife's affair with another man, he is not biologically related to his son, who is also the kid version of himself. Azami goes on a business trip to a village in a foreign country, then she gets approached and worshipped by several men because she resembles the goddess who saved the village from destruction. When she's about to leave the village, the men attempt to prevent her from leaving before the village chief Tokusa stops them from harming her. In this story, Kuroki is mistaken by Yuzuriha for her ex-boyfriend because they look alike, she is also suspicious of his name because she thinks he faked his name. Fortunately, Yuzuriha completely acknowledges that Kuroki wasn't her boyfriend. However, right after Kuroki left, the actual ex-boyfriend comes into Yuzuriha's lodge, only to be killed by her immediately, because he was treating her like crap when they were still dating. Akamatsu gets mistaken by Yuzuriha for her boyfriend, making her think that her boyfriend was a married man with children who is willing to cheat on his wife with her. Fortunately, the real boyfriend named Todomatsu shows up to clear up the misunderstanding. Both Akamatsu and Todomatsu almost look identical to each other; however, the latter has an Idiot Hair and a darker hair color. |

Avengers: Infinite Wars; When meeting the Jedi Council for the first time, the Avengers all briefly assume that Mace Windu is Nick Fury. This Running Gag is starting Mace Windu to irk. They meet one another, much to Jedi, Avengers and Clones' shock in chapter 106 Steve privately reflected that he found Padme Amidala familiar in their first meeting, although Hope van Dyne is the first one to 'recognize' Padme as Jane Foster's double. Jane and Padmé FINALLY met in chapter 104, much to their shock. When watching The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the Jedi are surprised when Saruman appears on the big screen, since he is played by Christopher Lee, who also plays Count Dooku in Star Wars. Curiously, while in other cases both doppelgängers are alive, in this case Lee has already passed by the time this story happens. |

Kingdom Hearts III gives us a rather weird, meta-example in the character Yozora. He is the hero of the fictional Final Fantasy-esque action-RPG Verum Rex, which itself is almost a beat-by-beat Affectionate Parody of Final Fantasy XV. Appearance-wise, he looks almost exactly like Riku, save for his heterochromia and slightly darker shade of hair. Resident cloudcuckoolander Rex however is utterly convinced that Sora is an official action-figure of Yozora, despite looking nothing like him and only vaguely having similar clothes. So of course, this being Kingdom Hearts, Yozora turns out to be a real person after all and does indeed bear some meaningful connection to Sora, Riku and the Master of Masters. | |

For most of the story, the Coolflame is thought to be Xari, and is only at the end that Uno discover and reveals that the Coolflame was not Xari, just a near-identical member of a different alien species whose resemblance to Xari had been increased by the Coolflamization process. | |

Black God features this as a major plot point (also based on the traditional belief that seeing your doppleganger is a bad omen.) Everyone on Earth has two dopplegangers (called 'doppeliners'), and if two of them ever meet, they both die, giving the surviving third extraordinary luck. | |

Naked Lunch: These show up throughout the film with a lot of the actors portraying supposedly unrelated characters. Given the mindbending nature of the plot, it's hard to tell if they're actually the same people or not. For instance, Joan Lee (Bill's wife) and Joan Frost (Tom Frost's wife) are physically identical. The two NYC policemen near the start of the film reappear at the end as two Annexian border guards. The actor who voices the bugs (and sounds a lot like William S. Burroughs, for that matter) has a small role as an exterminator colleague whom Lee questions on the subway. | |

For Black Widow’s 2019 series Web of the Black Widow, Marvel themselves lampshaded on the variant cover for issue 2 (as a tie-in to The Amazing Mary Jane series) that Nat is a Identical Stranger to MJ. Although the two women have conveniently never actually met. (Except in the Spider-Man newspaper strip, in which they met when MJ was filming the second Marvella movie ... and Natasha was her stunt double.) | |

Family Guy: Peter and two identical strangers (one with glasses and a larger nose, one Japanese with different hair) all get free samples of sausage at the grocery store, one after the other, then all show up at the same time for seconds. In the B-plot of "Tom Tucker: The Man and His Dream", Chris starts going out with a girl who looks extremely similar to Lois. In one episode, Peter was mistaken for one of the (female) barristas. |

Another episode involved Bilko promising a Bing Crosby concert to the troops. Unfortunately Bing was late to arrive so Bilko tried to placate the troops by passing off as Bing a soldier who happened to be a lookalike. The double couldn't sing, however, with his only talent being that he can recite Longfellow's poem "The Wreck of the Hesperus". Bing saved the day by arriving at the end of the episode—and proceeded to entertain the troops by reciting "The Wreck of the Hesperus". | |

Used in an episode of Up Pompeii where the plot revolved around a visit from Caesar who looked identical to Frankie Howerd's roman slave Lurcio. As with everything in this show, the fact that Frankie Howerd was playing two separate characters was heavily lampshaded, with constant references by Howerd to the audience about his versatility in playing two characters and many occasions where Howerd would come in the wrong costume and have to change rapidly. | |

In an early issue of Fantastic Four, by simply putting on a wig and a spare FF uniform, blind sculptress Alicia Masters looked exactly like Sue Stormnote See item #6. — enough that she could successfully infiltrate the FF!

In Primeval the character of Claudia Brown has a bridge dropped on her by the Timey-Wimey Ball and the identical looking, but very different, character of Jenny Lewis replaces her. A rare case where it isn't undone by the Reset Button by the end of the episode and Claudia is for all intents and purposes Killed Off for Real. However, Jenny, while at first a much different person, slowly starts to become more and more like Claudia. She ditches fancy dresses and starts dressing more businesslike and starts developing feelings for Nick, just like Claudia. In the episode where Jenny decides to leave for good, she finds a picture that Nick has always kept in his pocket and doesn't recognize posing for it. She realizes that Nick was telling the truth about the altered timeline. |

In How I Met Your Mother, it's revealed that the gang has a habit of running into doppelgangers of themselves and are still on the lookout for the last ones. They're identified as Lesbian Robin, Mustache Marshall, Stripper Lily, and Mexican Wrestler Ted. Lily eventually decides that as soon as they see a Barney doppelganger, she'll see that as a sign it's time to have children. It Makes Sense in Context. Lily thought she found Barney's doppelganger in a random hot dog vendor, but he didn’t actually look like Barney at all, Lily just saw what she wanted to see. When they eventually find Barney's doppelganger, he turns out to be Lily's fertility doctor. | |

In the Star Trek: Myriad Universes story A Less Perfect Union, Earth is not part of the Federation and has long had a "cold war" with the Vulcans. An aged T'pol is an ambassador on an Enterprise where Kirk is first officer to Captain Pike. Sarek comes, asking Kirk to arrange a secret meeting with T'Pol, who then vanishes. When Kirk explains this to the Vulcan council, Sarek claims to have no idea what he's talking about and Kirk angrily accuses him of a double-cross. It turns out "Sarek" was actually Keras, the Romulan officer from the episode "Balance of Terror" that was also played by Mark Lenard. T'Pol asks Keras about being surgically altered to look like Sarek. Keras replies that, amazing as it sounds, this is his natural face and he's amazed how much they look alike. At the story's end, Keras defects to the humans. Kirk apologizes to Sarek for the misunderstanding. Sarek tells him it's okay as he saw Keras himself and admits his own son would have been fooled by the resemblance. |

Don't Meddle with My Daughter!: Despite the difference in age, Point Blanknote who's 17 is a dead ringer for Athena's deceased husband, BM "the Shooter". Her friend Hanna thinks he may be a clone, since her sources say Deepthroat managed to get a sample of BM's DNA sometime prior to his death. Athena refuses to believe it. Ultimately subverted, as it later turns out that Point Blank actually is Athena's husband as he got pulled into the past and takes on the name BM to help the younger version of Athena. After two years, the present-day version of his wife rescues and brings him back to the present, resulting in a happy (albeit somewhat awkward) family reunion with their daughter. | |

In Eyeshield 21, during the "Death March" arc Sena accidentally gets roped into a round of NFL tryouts where he meets Jimmy Simard, who looks very much like his teammate Ishimaru back home. The joke is that "Jimmy Simard" sounds like "jimi ishimaru" when said with a Japanese accent. "Jimi Ishimaru" means "plain Ishimaru," one of the running gags of the series. In the anime, on the plane ride that kicked off the America arc the characters mix up Cerberus and an identical looking stuffed animal. | |

On Frasier: In one episode, Daphne goes out with essentially a clone of Niles. Daphne doesn't notice, and neither does Niles at first, he even calls the clone a pretentious fop. When the clone orders coffee the same way Niles likes it, the realization hits him like a ton of bricks. Niles later catches the clone sneaking around with Niles's new girlfriend. THEN he's pissed. In another episode, Frasier goes out with a woman who very strongly resembles his late mother, in both the way she looks and the way she acts. He is the only one who doesn't notice: when he finally does, he breaks it off because it's all just too damn awkward. During their separation, Niles finds a dog who is exactly like Maris. It's obvious to everyone else, but Niles needs Frasier to point it out to him. |

Kingdom Hearts has a lot of this going around. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories has Naminé, who is basically Kairi with long blonde hair. It's because she is actually her Nobody (albeit the unique circumstances of her birth caused her to have slight physical differences from her Somebody, unlike most Nobodies). It takes Sora a long time to get this because she has been literally messing with his memories. Kingdom Hearts II introduces us to Roxas, who is Sora with a different haircut and blonde hair. Many characters remark that he looks like Sora as well. Eventually it's revealed that, like Naminé, Roxas is Sora's Nobody. Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days gives us another Kairi lookalike: the mysterious fourteenth member of Organization XIII, Xion. This time, she is Kairi with short black hair. Unlike Naminé, Xion also shares Kairi's voice actress (at least in Japanese; English is a bit inconsistent about this). The Reveal is that Xion is a Replica of Sora, designed to sap away Roxas's power. The more power she syphons, the more she resembles Kairi. At her full power, Xion's appearance completely changes to that of a 14-year old Sora. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep introduces Ventus, who is physically identical to Roxas. Ventus has been sleeping in Sora's heart for the past ten years, so the two of them do have some of a connection. There's also Vanitas, who's Sora with a dye job and a much cooler outfit. Vanitas is Ven's Enemy Without, and Ven only survived their separation by linking with Sora's heart, connecting the three of them. Vanitas, who was previously The Faceless, took on Sora's appearance as a result. Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] shows us a full view of what Master Xehanort looked like in his youth, and he's remarkably similar to how Terra, introduced in Birth by Sleep, looks, especially once Terra gets Hades Shaded after being possessed by Xehanort. The only real difference is that Terra is more visibly muscular than Young Xehanort. Kingdom Hearts III gives us a rather weird, meta-example in the character Yozora. He is the hero of the fictional Final Fantasy-esque action-RPG Verum Rex, which itself is almost a beat-by-beat Affectionate Parody of Final Fantasy XV. Appearance-wise, he looks almost exactly like Riku, save for his heterochromia and slightly darker shade of hair. Resident cloudcuckoolander Rex however is utterly convinced that Sora is an official action-figure of Yozora, despite looking nothing like him and only vaguely having similar clothes. So of course, this being Kingdom Hearts, Yozora turns out to be a real person after all and does indeed bear some meaningful connection to Sora, Riku and the Master of Masters. |

Friends: "The One With Russ": Before going out with Ross, Rachel goes out for one episode with the aforementioned Russ, who looks, acts, and talks just like Ross. When Ross and Julie break up in the same episode, Julie runs into Russ and the two immediately click, even though Julie had just gotten over the identical looking Ross. Amazingly, the only other character not to notice the similarity is Ross. Russ was actually portrayed by David Schwimmer himself. It also gets parodied twice, both times involving Joey. One episode has him flip out over meeting a guy whose hands look exactly like his own, while another has him recruit an actor to try and play his identical twin brother so they can join a group study that pays $1,000, only to fail to realize the actor doesn't look a thing like him until the very last minute. |

Sgt. Frog: The Musha Kero saga takes place on a planet full of people resembling our heroes' friends. Their actual characters range from disturbingly similar (Fuyuki, Momoka) to completely different (Natsumi, Saburo) to something from out of left field (Mois.) One episode revolved around a girl named Asami who looked exactly like Angol Mois going around and mugging and/or beating people up. The only difference between them was that Asami's eyes were blue while Angol Mois' were gold. It turns out that when Angol Mois first came to Earth she saw Asami beating up the "Sleazy 26" gang and decided to model herself after "Earth's Greatest Warrior," per instructions from her father. |

In Code Lyoko Season 1 episode "The Girl of the Dreams", a New Transfer Student, Taelia, is believed to be a materialized Aelita. But besides similar looks and Significant Anagram names, they have nothing in common (unless you choose to believe some Wild Mass Guessing). | |

In the Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers episode "Gadget Goes Hawaiian" Gadget switches places with Luwhinie (spelling uncertain), who is her exact duplicate (aside from being voiced by Gidget actress Deborah Walley). | |

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories has Naminé, who is basically Kairi with long blonde hair. It's because she is actually her Nobody (albeit the unique circumstances of her birth caused her to have slight physical differences from her Somebody, unlike most Nobodies). It takes Sora a long time to get this because she has been literally messing with his memories. | |

The comedy Big Business (1988) has a classic explanation concerning twins played by Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin. | |

Lu Bu's dialogue in Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star compares Rani to his wife Diao, which raises the possibility that Diao and Chen Gong were a more conventional example. | |

Doraemon: Nobita's the Legend of the Sun King: Nobita and Tio, the prince of a Mayan-like kingdom existing in another universe, are practically clones of each other. Prince Tio, naturally curious about the world outside his own, proposes they swap places for a day, leading to a Prince and Pauper-style plot (which works amazingly well - even Nobita's mother couldn't tell Prince Tio is in his place). | |

In the Dexter's Laboratory episode "Coupon for Crazyness", Dexter trades places with a goofy, hyperactive look-alike named Dextor who has scientist parents. He switches back when he tires of the cold, clinical parenting style of Dextor's parents. | |

Glitched Miko AU The professor who created Miko looks almost exactly like Miko's mother. It's implied that they are actually sisters. Miko's would-be assassin M-2 could be her identical twin. Which makes sense as M-2 is a product of the same program that created Miko (i.e M-1) |

Full Metal Panic! has two examples. One is anime-only, and the other is found only in the original novels:In the anime, Kaname gets one in TSR, in the form of a Chinese prostitute who fancied Sousuke (who paid her just to talk because he was having huge psychological problems at the time). In the novels, there's a side story where Sousuke is revealed to be almost identical to a young teen heartthrob idol named Kousuke; when he got getting tired and wanting a vacation, switches places with Sousuke. | |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan: The gang meets Kukuru, a child from the Stone Age accidentally displaced into modern-day Japan, who looks almost exactly like Nobita. Gian and Suneo are wondering why Nobita's behaving strangely when a confused Kukuru attacks them, leading to Gian knocking Kukuru unconscious and questioning what's wrong with Nobita... just as the real Nobita steps in from behind. | |

Captain America There was Sharon Carter and the Red Skull's spy Irma Kruhl. After leaving Irma Bound and Gagged in a closet, Carter was able to flawlessly pass herself off as her with nothing more than a hat and a pair of glasses. When Steve Rogers first met Rick Jones in an issue of The Avengers, he remarked that the boy looked and sounded exactly like his old sidekick Bucky. He even briefly took on Rick as his new sidekick before the writers realized how creepy that was. |
