Bob is revealed to be someone else entirely, an impostor who replaced the real Bob a long time ago! This means the real Bob is someone we barely know, and most or all of what we do know about him is known solely through the actions of his impersonator.
This trope applies to any instance when all the information about a character is revealed by the actions of their impostor and the ways the other characters interact with the impostor. If the real character is shown, it's very briefly. If the original person returns in later installments, it does not discredit that this trope was the case originally; such cases can overlap with The Real Remington Steele if the impersonator is an established character and if the disguise is subsequently retconned as a real person instead of an Invented Individual.
Often a result of Kill and Replace, Actually a Doombot, and Dead Person Impersonation; and a subtrope of Dead All Along, Posthumous Character, and often The Ghost. Contrast You Will Be Beethoven, in which the original person may have never even existed.
Being a reveal trope, unmarked spoilers lie ahead.

Megamind: Megamind takes the form of the museum worker Bernard using a version of Capture and Replicate, and he uses this form for a large portion of the film to get closer to Roxanne. The real Bernard is much lower-energy than Megamind portrays him, and he only appears in the scene before Megamind takes his form and in The Stinger.

Kamen Rider Revice: Yujiro Wakabayashi, commander of Fenix, was revealed to have been murdered by the Chameleon Deadman in the first episode of the series. The Monster of the Week went on to impersonate him until his cover was blown in episode 14. The real Yujiro's only appearance is also his death scene.

In BoxxyQuest: The Shifted Spires, Intrepid, Catie's mysterious hooded ally and the head of the /c/ council, does not actually appear in the game. The Intrepid we meet is actually Rcoastee, having killed him and taking on his form, while the real Intrepid never appears physically, only being described by Rcoastee.

In the first Devilman TV series, the real Akira Fudo and his father were killed by three demons in the first episode after they accidentally step inside their lair while mountain climbing in the Himalayas... and Amon kills the other two and then uses Akira's corpse as a disguise to pass as a human and start kicking the Demon Army's plan of global conquest on gear. For the rest of the show, Akira is just a disguise that Amon wears, and not even Akira's girlfriend Miki (whom Amon falls for and protects) knows the secret.

In the Angel episode "Lineage", Wesley runs into his estranged father Roger Wyndam-Pryce who claims to have come to assess whether Wesley should be invited back to the Watcher Council. At the end of the episode, he turns out to be actually a robotic replica working for a mysterious organisation. The real Roger never appears in the series but Wesley indicates that the cyborg did a convincing impression of him.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain retcons in another instance similar to Master Miller, with the reveal that the Big Boss who was the Big Bad of the original game was an impersonator, Venom Snake. Like Miller, though, it's downplayed in that Metal Gear 2 showed the real Big Boss in the same role before the impersonation was revealed.

In Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, the Abercrombie Fizzwidget who appears during most of the game is actually Captain Qwark in disguise. The real Fizzwidget appears briefly at the end of the game, and while the fake Fizzwidget was a Malaproper, the real one is perfectly articulate, suggesting that Captain Qwark was trying to imitate Fizzwidget's vocabulary but lacked the intelligence to do so properly.

Moonraker: Hugo Drax is actually a Nazi saboteur who masquerades as a war hero for the past several years after he was "rescued" in his British military disguise, stole the identity of a missing soldier, and faked amnesia to justify not remembering his pre-WWII life. By sheer coincidence, the "Hugo Drax" name he adopted happens to be surprisingly close to his real one (Graf Hugo von der Drache). The only things known about the real Hugo Drax was that he was an orphan with no close friends or relatives, and was MIA during World War II. Drax/Drache remains a dedicated Nazi, bent on revenge against Britain for the wartime defeat of his Fatherland and the social slights he received as a youth growing up in an English boarding school before the war.

In the Cthulhu Mythos:
This trope is applied to an entire species in "The Shadow Out of Time". We know nothing about the Earth-native civilization of giant cone-shaped creatures which lived during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic before their bodies were taken over by the Great Race of Yith. All we see of them is just their bodies being inhabited by the Yithians. Not even their species' name is known. And given that they're native to Earth, and not aliens, their relationship with the Old Ones is not known either.
The real Asenath Derby has died long before the events of "The Thing on the Doorstep" happen. The entity inhabiting her body is the wizard Ephraim Waite, who raised her as a host and switched bodies with her before killing her.

Evelyn Fischer is a variation on this trope in Heart of the Woods. While no one is impersonating her, per se, it is eventually revealed that a fairy known as The Moonsick One is possessing her body, and that since the Moonsick One forced Evelyn's soul out of her body and destroyed itnote Abigail is the only person whose soul survived the process, the real Evelyn has been dead since long before the start of the story.

A number of examples in Star Trek: Discovery:
The Ash Tyler we know eventually turns out to be the original Ash Tyler's personality grafted onto a Klingon sleeper agent. The only time we see the original Tyler is in a photograph, after L'Rell has been forced to purge Voq's personality from this Tyler, leaving Tyler in control, to stop an awakened Voq from tearing himself apart.
Captain Lorca turns out to be his Mirror Universe counterpart. The only time Prime!Lorca is alluded to after The Reveal is a devastated Admiral Cornwell coming to the conclusion that, given the Terran Empire's barbarism, he's likely been dead long before she suggested he command Discovery. In Star Trek Online, we do encounter Prime!Lorca just before the incident that results in the Lorcas swapping places. We then encounter Mirror!Lorca, although his sudden personality change is made to look as PTSD and Survivor Guilt after being forced to destroy the USS Buran (which Mirror!Lorca likely did to reduce the number of people who know his double well).
The Admiral Patar we see on screen turns out to be a holographic construct created by Control after it went Skynet and wiped out Section 31's leadership.

Diamonds Are Forever has several "Blofelds" due to the real Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Charles Gray) turning henchmen of his into 'clones' of himself via plastic surgery. Each time James Bond kills one of them he bumps into another. They all seem to have the same mannerisms. It's not even sure if the last Blofeld to be killed in the film was the real article and it fed fan theories for decades.

Dragon Age: Inquisition:
We never meet the real Warden-Constable Gordon Blackwall, who has been dead for years by the time the game begins. The person claiming to be "Blackwall" is a fugitive war criminal named Thom Rainier, a former Orlesian army captain who took gold to assassinate a prominent nobleman and ended up killing his wife, children, and entourage along with him. The real Blackwall did recruit Rainier into the Grey Wardens, but was killed by darkspawn before he could fully induct him into the order. Rainier wanted to continue to Val Chevin to be inducted, but believed that he had no proof of conscription and was afraid that the Wardens would accuse him of killing Blackwall, so he instead decided to assume his identity and roam the land as a Knight Errant, trying to make up for his crime. The only direct words from the real Blackwall that are encountered in the game come from a transcript of a speech he gave ten years prior (around the events of the first game), and the speech pokes a lot of holes in "Blackwall's" story.
In Josephine Montilyet's personal quest, she and the Inquisitor receive an invitation to meet with a noble named Comte Boivert, who claims to have information as to why Josephine's couriers delivering an important message were murdered. They meet the comte, who turns out to be very knowledgeable — too knowledgeable, as Josephine deduces. The "comte" is actually an impersonator from the assassins' guild hired to kill the couriers; the situation is so unusual the guild felt Josephine was owed a direct explanation. The real comte turns out to be locked in a closet, and we never see him on screen.

In After the Funeral, Cora Lansquenet is never seen alive. None of the family having seen the real Cora in over twenty years, the "Cora" who appears at the titular funeral of her brother Richard is revealed to actually have been her lady-in-waiting Miss Gilchrist, who then went on to murder her mistress the following day. Gilchrist drugged the real Cora the morning of the funeral and attended in her place; that evening she murdered Cora in her bed, making sure to disfigure her face beyond recognition. Her impersonation was almost perfect, deliberately seeding doubt about whether Richard did in fact die of natural causes and even mimicking Cora's painting style to cover over the one painting Cora owned that was actually worth anything. Making off with the painting proves to be the motive behind the entire plot. Miss Gilchrist's three mistakes: practicing Cora's trademark Quizzical Tilt in a mirror causes it to appear reversed, so that her relatives knew something was off but not quite what; remarking on a vase of wax flowers which she could only have seen on the day of the funeral, as the vase was later broken; and painting her forgery from a postcard, when the real Cora always painted from life.

In Your Turn to Die Chapter 3-1A, the remaining survivors meet Ridiculously Human Robot versions of the candidates who didn't make it to the first trial. When one of them, Hinako, dies in a coffin that was supposed to be occupied by a human, the survivors realize that she was an imposter for the real Hinako, who died in the First Trial as a result of Alice leaving during it. Because there was technically a connection between the two (as the only candidates to be made into Dummies are the ones who had no previous connection to any of the others), she was not made into a Dummy, and we never meet her.

Final Fantasy XIV
The Legate of the VIIth Imperial Legion Nael van Darnus died before the events of the game, the "Nael van Darnus" you meet is actually his sister Eula Darnus. This is a case of Real Life Writes the Plot; Nael was supposed to be a woman, but this was not communicated properly to the English writing team, and they wrote him as male while the Japanese team went on with the original plans. Eula is the end result of several hasty retcons intended to wrangle the resulting plotholes back into a coherent narrative.
The Scion Yda Hext is revealed to have died about a year prior to the events of Legacy. The character that players knew as "Yda" is revealed to have been her younger sister, Lyse. While a fair amount of information concerning the real Yda's personality and achievements is known, she is never featured in any content where she is still alive.

Retroactively in Iron Man 3. The villain at first appears to be Ben Kingsley’s character The Mandarin, but he turns out to be a patsy for the actual Big Bad Killian, who claims himself to be the Mandarin. The later short film All Hail the King then established that there was a real Mandarin out there who was very displeased at both of them stealing his name. The true Mandarin, Wenwu, would eventually appear in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

The Raccoons: In "Simon Says", Cyril Sneer's long-lost brother Simon shows up to claim his inheritance, which means half of Sneer Industries. While Cyril suspected from the beginning that "Simon" was an impostor, the truth is only confirmed when the impostor (whose real name is Sid Leech)is shown to be afraid of worms as a result of a revenge prank the real Simon pulled on Leech and wrote about in a diary.

In Marvel's Shogun Warriors series, alien antagonist the Primal One is really their old enemy Maur-Kon, the recurring Big Bad of the series. He assembles an alien army via the treaties the real Primal Ones negotiated with other races, but the real Primal Ones never appear in the series, or in the wider Marvel Universe.

The Order of the Stick: Malack is revealed to be a vampire, which in this universe is a spirit that takes over a body and represses the previous owner's consciousness until they cease to exist. The real Malack died centuries before the story begins (and according to the vampire, wasn't named Malack).

Metal Gear:
Master Miller in Metal Gear Solid plays with the concept, in that the real Miller had already been introduced in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (and would show up again in prequels), but his much more well-known appearance in MGS1 turns out to have been Liquid Snake in disguise, with Liquid having killed the real Miller shortly before the game began.
The Naomi Hunter we're familiar with is actually impersonating an individual who went missing years before the events of the game. All we learn about the original is that she was also a doctor.
The DARPA Chief that Snake meets at the beginning of the game is a more traditional example, as he's actually the enemy spy Decoy Octopus in disguise (the real chief has been literally rotting in a cell the whole time), and while the real Chief also appears in a prequel, that's set well before he even joined DARPA, so we never get to see what he was really like in that role.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain retcons in another instance similar to Master Miller, with the reveal that the Big Boss who was the Big Bad of the original game was an impersonator, Venom Snake. Like Miller, though, it's downplayed in that Metal Gear 2 showed the real Big Boss in the same role before the impersonation was revealed.

In Persona 5 Royal, it turns out that Kasumi Yoshizawa, one of the new additions to the cast, is long dead, and the Kasumi the player's been getting to know for the entire game is actually her sister Sumire, who had her cognition altered to the point where she believed herself to be Kasumi. Given that the process is imperfect and Sumire-as-Kasumi is shown to differ from the real Kasumi in various ways, it's unclear how much of the former's behaviour can be considered to be an accurate representation of the latter and how much is simply Sumire acting how she thinks Kasumi would act. The real Kasumi is only shown in a short video in Maruki's Palace depicting her final moments, which only gives a small amount of insight about who she is.

In the first A Certain Scientific Railgun PSP game, one segment sees the girls working with an elite Judgement member named Atatsu Chiyo to protect a researcher from a terrorist known as Grim Reaper Kakiko. It isn't until the end of the chapter that the girls learn that the real Chiyo has been found tied up, and that the "Chiyo" who'd been communicating with them the entire time was actually Kakiko (real name Aizono Mio) in disguise.

In Pink Panther's Passport to Peril, you only see the real children at the very beginning and the very end. The rest of the game you'll be unknowingly dealing with robotic duplicates, whose nature becomes more and more obvious with each time you return to the camp as they keep malfunctioning, until they finally break down and fall apart on their own just before the game's climax.

Retroactively in Iron Man 3. The villain at first appears to be Ben Kingsley’s character The Mandarin, but he turns out to be a patsy for the actual Big Bad Killian, who claims himself to be the Mandarin. The later short film All Hail the King then established that there was a real Mandarin out there who was very displeased at both of them stealing his name. The true Mandarin, Wenwu, would eventually appear in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening has two of the Inner Evocation hosts:
We only see Mayor Bryan Trautman as himself in the intro doing the Inner Evocation summoning ritual and in a flashback that Miriam has of him firing her. Every other time we see "him", it's Chagora the Enraged possessing his body and speaking through him.
Unlike Trautman, who at least got two scenes as himself, Sadie Walters is only encountered while being possessed by Phritotch the Unknowable, so everything we know about her comes from Phritotch herself.

The Flash (2014):
Episode 17 reveals that Harrison Wells is really another person entirely (the time-traveling Eobard Thawne) who stole Wells's appearance, killing him and his wife in the process. Despite being a very important figure (along with his wife Tess Morgan) in the original timeline Thawne came from, almost nothing besides this is known (other than he used to be warmer and more open with people "before the accident"). The real Wells only appears in three scenes: the first is an Establishing Character Moment which shows us he is passionate about science and his brilliant wife, and the second two where he is killed and has his identity stolen by Thawne. This is the case until he's resurrected at the beginning of season 7.
A more minor example is with Randolf Morgan, whose appearance is used via holographic device as a disguise for various reasons, first by H.R. Wells (Harrison Wells's doppelgänger) and later by Barry Allen. Nothing is really known besides what he looks like and what H.R (his former business partner) says about him.

In the second episode of gen:LOCK, Robert Sinclair, one the six gen:LOCK recruits, is revealed to be a Union spy. Dr. Weller, guessing correctly that the spy isn't actually Sinclair and therefore isn't gen:LOCK compatible, allows the spy to use the gen:LOCK technology, resulting in his horrible death. The real Sinclair is presumed to have been killed by his impersonator, but his whereabouts are discovered in the post-credits scene of the first season finale.

Mega Man X: Command Mission: At the very end of the game, it's revealed that Spider, the suave bounty hunter that joined X's crew, is actually Colonel Redips, the leader of the Far East HQ and main antagonist of the game. Given that Spider was already well-known in Gigacity Island and Wild Jango implied he had already ran into the bounty hunter in the past, it seems that the original Spider was victim of a Kill and Replace scheme orchestrated by the military villain prior to the events of the game.

In the episode "Out of Order", Corazón infiltrates Egbert's former paladin headquarters by disguising himself as Egbert's old friend, a squeaky-voiced young paladin named Chauncey. Even though the heroes never meet Chauncey in person, Corazón's impression of him has the paladins fooled. Chauncey does appear much, much later in the "Legacy of Dragons" arc, but gets impersonated again.
Corazón again disguises himself in the same episode as The Grim Reaper, who hasn't been seen so far except for that impersonation. It can be safely assumed from Jacques Darkfall's reaction, and Corazón's choice of disguise, that Death does exist, however.

The Captain N: The Game Master Nintendo Comics System story "Breakout" has the character Judge Racklas. He briefly appears in one panel while completely bound with rope and does not have any dialogue, while the rest of the comic features Ridley impersonating him.

Jaine Austen Mysteries: The woman Jaine knows as Daisy Kincaid in Death of a Gigolo is a somewhat dotty, but kind older woman who is very generous to her staff until Tommy weasels his way into her life. Now, Emma Shimmel, the woman who killed her and took over her identity, called the real one "a sour old fossil of a boss" who made her life miserable, so it appears the image Emma puts on is in contrast to the real one's personality. Of course, given that Emma is, y'know, a murderer, you could probably take this description with a grain of salt.

Source Code: Jake Gyllenhaal plays soldier Colter Stevens, who is tasked with repeatedly living the last eight minutes of the life of a man named Shawn Fentress who died when a train exploded. Nothing is known about Fentress besides what other people say about him, and with Gyllenhaal portraying both versions of his character, Fentress's real appearance is only seen through reflections and photos of him. Unusually for this trope, not only does the reveal occur about ten minutes in, but the film ends with Stevens surviving beyond the eight minutes and (presumably) living out the rest of his life as Fentress, with nobody in the alternate reality any the wiser.

In Hercule Poirot's Christmas, two coincidental, unrelated cases: among the guests who come to visit elderly Simeon Lee for the holidays are Stephen Farr, son of Lee's old business partner in South Africa whom he betrayed; and Pilar Estravados, Lee's Spanish-born granddaughter, on her first visit to England as civil war breaks out in Spain. Simeon is murdered, but both impostors end up being Red Herrings. A telegraph reveals that the real Stephen Farr is dead — Stephen's real name is Stephen Grant, a friend of the real Farr but also, as he explains, the illegitimate son of Lee himself, who came to England intending to confront his father not only for what he did to the Grants but for his own abandonment. Pilar, meanwhile, is actually Conchita Lopez, the real Pilar's friend, traveling with Pilar through wartorn Spain when the latter was killed by a bomb. Conchita seized on the opportunity to masquerade as Pilar, enjoying a brief respite in a wealthy home far from the war — only to find herself trapped by her own deceit, unable to reveal the truth without making herself even more of a suspect in the murder. In the end, both are cleared of suspicion, and Stephen asks Conchita to come back with him to South Africa so that the two of them can be married.

The King of Fighters 2000: Ling has not only one, but two impersonators, both a regular clone of himself and Zero, both introduced before the real Ling. Practically all that's known about him is that he was the man Vanessa and Seth were working under and that he had a nice mustache.

Death Note: L, the greatest detective in the world, is also the second and third greatest detectives in the world: Eraldo Coil and Deneuve. This comes in handy for L when people try to catch him; they usually end up hiring Coil or Deneuve. Another Note reveals that Eraldo Coil (and presumably Deneuve, too,) were actually real detectives before L took their names in "detective wars".

An episode of Law & Order called "Nowhere Man" starts with the investigation of the murder of ADA Dan Tenofsky, only for the police and the DA to discover "Dan Tenofsky" was an imposter named Jacob Dieter. The real Dan Tenofskie was a law school dropout, whose identity the imposter stole and fabricated his entire career off of. At the end of the episode, Serena asks Jack what they should do with "Dan's" personal effects and Jack says "What personal effects? Those were more like props."

Tom is a constant presence throughout Animorphs, but the only time he's seen without a Puppeteer Parasite controlling him is at the climax of the first book. Most of his characterisation comes from Jake comparing his Yeerks' impersonations to the real Tom he knew.

W.I.T.C.H.: The heroes are aided during the first season by an enigmatic mystic known as the Mage who guards the Infinite City and has connections to Kandrakar. Midway the second season, Nerissa, the Big Bad of said season, is revealed to have been glamouring herself as the Mage all along. According to herself, she escaped her solitary confinement years ago and was taken in by the real Mage who wanted to help the corrupted Guardian reform. Nerissa repaid her kindness by stealing her identity after she died (possibly by her hand) and using her influence and resources for her Evil Plan, even going so far as to give birth to Caleb while posing as the Mage. After the ruse is exposed, Nerissa directs Caleb's father to the real Mage's grave to prove both that the latter is truly dead and that it was she who gave birth to Caleb. The flashback in "The Stone of Threbe" that depicts a younger Mage is the only instance we see the real her.

In another Part 2 story, Lupin clashes with Patra Lawrence, the supposed daughter of T. E. Lawrence. At the very end of the episode, Lupin says that the real Patra was born in 1918, meaning the woman seated next to him is far too young to be who she claims. To nobody's surprise, it turns out "Patra" was Fujiko Mine in a mask and veil.

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of" our heroes are searching for the scientist Roger Korby. The Korby that they encounter is actually an android that's been imprinted with the real Korby's memories and personality. Over the course of the episode it's made clear that the duplication wasn't perfect (certain personality traits have been warped and twisted), so we don't have a complete picture of what the real one was like.

The Blacklist has a major example that becomes a significant part of the Myth Arc. The man we've been following as Raymond Reddington may not actually be the original Raymond Reddington, finding out exactly who he is and why he has this identity takes up a lot of Elizabeth's focus in the later seasons. Eventually taken to absurd extremes as possible identities are raised for his origin only for them to turn out to also be borrowed from other people, making him a sort of nesting doll of impersonation. Maybe.

SSSS.GRIDMAN eventually reveals that protagonist Yuta Hibiki wasn't just made Gridman's partner, but unknowingly outright possessed by the Hyper Agent; his Amnesiac Hero status is simply because Gridman doesn't have Yuta's memories in the first place. The "real" Yuta doesn't appear until the very end of the show, though he would later get proper character focus in the finale movie, GRIDMAN UNIVERSE.

He isn't actually Vic Sage, but Walter Kovacs, the version of Rorschach from the past who changed the timeline in the first place. He took on The Question's identity to help Deadpool and the others fix the mess he caused by changing the timeline, because he knew they wouldn't trust him as Rorschach.

In Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth:
The Kyoko we know for a majority of the game is actually Alphamon possessing her body in order to integrate with humans. The real Kyoko suffered from EDEN Syndrome, and by sheer coincidence Alphamon came across her comatose body just as it arrived to the human world. The real Kyoko is only seen in a flashback scene and in the epilogue.
The same thing happens with Rie and Crusadermon. In fact, both Rie and Kyoko fell victim to EDEN Syndrome at the same time and place, with Crusadermon and Alphamon possessing their bodies separately afterwards. We never see the real Rie directly, only hearing some snippets.

In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it's revealed in the climax that the head of the American Auror office, Percival Graves, is really Gellert Grindelwald in disguise as Graves. Nothing about the real Graves is known other than the fact that he comes from a storied wizarding family in America and that he was a very powerful wizard since his skills don't surprise anyone. It's unclear how long the impersonation had been going on, if Graves is/was still alive, or if Grindelwald or Graves was the person who first met Credence so it's hard to gauge what he really was like.

Master Miller in Metal Gear Solid plays with the concept, in that the real Miller had already been introduced in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (and would show up again in prequels), but his much more well-known appearance in MGS1 turns out to have been Liquid Snake in disguise, with Liquid having killed the real Miller shortly before the game began.

Young Justice: The finale of season 1 reveals that Red Arrow had been replaced with a sleeper agent clone since before the show even began. This gets lampshaded in season 2. Following a timeskip we see that The Reveal that they are a clone has sent Red Arrow into a downward spiral and they are tearing themselves apart trying to find the original. Their friends stage an intervention, which Red Arrow tries to dismiss by claiming that since they aren't the original they aren't their real friend so they shouldn't care what happens to them. Their friends point out that the switch happened many years ago, so they actually barely know the original.

The DARPA Chief that Snake meets at the beginning of the game is a more traditional example, as he's actually the enemy spy Decoy Octopus in disguise (the real chief has been literally rotting in a cell the whole time), and while the real Chief also appears in a prequel, that's set well before he even joined DARPA, so we never get to see what he was really like in that role.

Arrowverse:
The Flash (2014):
Episode 17 reveals that Harrison Wells is really another person entirely (the time-traveling Eobard Thawne) who stole Wells's appearance, killing him and his wife in the process. Despite being a very important figure (along with his wife Tess Morgan) in the original timeline Thawne came from, almost nothing besides this is known (other than he used to be warmer and more open with people "before the accident"). The real Wells only appears in three scenes: the first is an Establishing Character Moment which shows us he is passionate about science and his brilliant wife, and the second two where he is killed and has his identity stolen by Thawne. This is the case until he's resurrected at the beginning of season 7.
A more minor example is with Randolf Morgan, whose appearance is used via holographic device as a disguise for various reasons, first by H.R. Wells (Harrison Wells's doppelgänger) and later by Barry Allen. Nothing is really known besides what he looks like and what H.R (his former business partner) says about him.

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair has an odd example with the Ultimate Impostor, who spends his time on the island impersonating Byakuya Togami. The audience knows the real Byakuya quite well from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, but the characters don't have that context (and the protagonists only find out that "Byakuya" was an impostor late in the game), so to them it's this trope as they never get to know the real deal. At least, not until the surviving students end up talking to the real Byakuya, along with Makoto and Kyoko, towards the end of the last chapter.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In "Viva Las Pegasus", Fluttershy, Applejack and the Flim-Flam Brothers try to trick the resort owner Gladmane into revealing his shady dealings through a ruse involving Fluttershy impersonating a businesswoman named Impossibly Rich. The Riches are an established family in the show, and Gladmane and the resort-goers all react to her as if she were someone real and well-known, but the real Impossibly Rich is never seen.
The series' Grand Finale villain Grogarnote one of the most iconic baddies from the franchise's first generation ultimately turns out to have been Discord in disguise all along; the real one did exist some millennia ago, and his signature weapon is dangerous as ever, but whether he ever recovered from his defeat is not known.

Hunter × Hunter: The true Supreme Leader of East Gorteau was not revolutionary leader Diego Masadoru/Ming Jol-ik, but a body double. Unlike other examples, the real Diego/Ming is still alive, having retired to live peacefully and anonymously shortly after the revolution, and gets a single short scene towards the end of the Chimera Ant arc.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it turns out that Professor Sada/Turo were Dead All Along, so we only get to meet their AI duplicates. later Subverted in the Indigo Disk DLC, in which an optional cutscene has Terapagos summon the real professors from the past, thereby starting a Stable Time Loop.

The Locked Tomb: Gideon the Ninth: It's revealed late in the book that the Seventh House's Sword and Sorcerer duo were murdered soon before the start of the plot by the rogue Lyctor Cytherea, who took Dulcinea's identity and necromantically puppeted Protesilaus' corpse. The ruse only works because none of the other characters had met them in person beforehand, and when Harrowhark meets the real people's spirits in Harrow the Ninth, she notes that the impersonation was insultingly bad.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power:
Possibly the case with Double Trouble's "Flutterina" disguise. It's somewhat ambiguous if the first time we meet Flutterina she is already Double Trouble's latest disguise or herself, but shortly thereafter it's clearly Double Trouble from then on. It's also unclear if Flutterina was a real person and if that was even her real name.
Season 5 has Peekablue, who we know is a peacock-themed prince with the power of far sight. Despite being said to be something of a recluse (though Adora had mentioned him and his girlfriend Sweet Bee when talking about the Princess Prom) Mermista heard a rumor he had been frequenting a shady bar scene recently so the princesses would need to go "undercover" to try and meet with him. Needless to say, the character we see using Peekablue's name and bragging about his abilities as part of a flashy show isn't the real one, but Double Trouble again, milking Peekablue's "brand" for all it's worth.

Ōkami has Rao, a priestess who turns out to have been dead long before Amaterasu and Issun got to Ryoshima Coast. All we see of the real Rao is a vision of her being chased down and cornered by Ninetails, her ghost guiding the two to a secret passage, and her corpse within said passage. Indeed, the Rao they know for the whole game turns out to actually be Ninetails copying her body for their own nefarious ends.

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses the missing student Monica von Ochs, the Monastery's librarian Tomas, Edelgard's uncle Volkhard von Arundel, and Faerghus' court magician Cornelia Arnimnote  Cornelia's case is left ambiguous as unlike the others she never reveals an Agarthan form or name are all revealed to be impostors from Those Who Slither In The Dark. The characters themselves are never seen and implied to have been killed before the game's events. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, however, introduces the real Monica as the game is an Alternate Timeline where she is rescued before being killed and impersonated.

In Murder in Mesopotamia, we really never learn anything about Eric Leidner, besides that he was a Swedish archeologist. That's because it's revealed he died decades ago in a train crash, and his identity was stolen by German spy Frederick Bosner. Likewise, we never find out what sort of person Father Lavigny is. All the time in the book, he has been impersonated by a jewel thief, as the real Father Lavigny fell sick and was unable to accompany the expedition at all.

In the second Laura Bow game, the eponymous protagonist meets Dr. Archibald Carrington, an Englishman who had recently travelled to New York as the newly appointed president of the Leyendecker Museum, before both find themselves embroiled in the murder mystery that takes place there during the night. Over the course of the game, a clever enough player will find enough evidence to figure out that the 'Carrington' that Laura met is actually Watney Little, an escaped English convict who stowed away on the ship that was taking Carrington to New York, where he murdered and impersonated him. His ability to keep up the masquerade is Hand Waved by how new Carrington was to his role and that it involved him moving to an unfamiliar place (and a period appropriate lack of readily available means to get more information on the real guy), but this also ties into how Detective O'Riley, the ultimate Big Bad of the story, ended up recognizing and blackmailing him into orchestrating the artifact heist that drives the plot.

In The Dark Profit Saga, we learn that Gaist, whom Gorm recognizes as Iheen the Red, is not that man (the real Iheen died on the same quest that Gorm ran away from). He's not human at all but a Doppelganger. Gorm realizes that Gaist was Iheen the Red's close friend and companion. They would often have Gaist pose as Iheen in order to make Iheen appear in two places at once. The reason why Gaist doesn't talk is because he's forgotten what Iheen is supposed to sound like and doesn't want to tip anyone off.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games makes it clear that a human version of Twilight Sparkle exists alongside the pony version, and that residents of the human dimension have long since been assuming them to be the same person. However, this leaves up in the air the question of Sunset Shimmer's human counterpart, who she's been presumably attending school under the identity of. The franchise came and went without ever giving us a clue on what this Human Sunset could be like, or where she currently resides.
