At any point during an opening sequence, the main characters will appear, each in a separate shot, with their names beside them. There are many reasons for this, but the most common is simply so the audience knows who's who before the show actually starts. On occasion, especially in live action shows, the actor playing the character will also be listed. In long running shows where characters are Promoted to Opening Titles, expect Evolving Credits. If two characters are introduced at once, that's Diagonal Billing. Related to Framed Face Opening, Fun with Subtitles on occasion, Casting Gag also on occasion, and Boss Subtitles. For the version at the end of the show, see Video Credits. It's sometimes used in conjunction with Theme Tune Roll Call, where the opening theme of a show introduces the characters, often with shots of the characters as they are named by the song. Compare and contrast Welcome Titles, when The Protagonist goes around greeting —and maybe name-dropping— the cast during the Title Sequence. See also Expository Theme Tune. |

The opening of Magic of Stella follows the manga by showing the characters' names and their personalities, the latter in the form of video game stats. This series is about the creation of doujin games, in case you were wondering. | |

Winx Club: The season 1 opening shows all the girls and their names, one by one, in a coloured background followed by a scene for each of them (oddly enough, the protagonist, Bloom, is the fourth Winx introduced out of five, while Stella was the first up). This was removed from season 2 onwards. The alternative Nickelodeon opening theme also shows all the girls and their names in a coloured background for the first three seasons. This was removed from season 4 onwards. |

Best Student Council does a unique version of this with its opening; the more prominent cast members are shown in the panels of what looks like a tarot card, with their name displayed at the bottom of the card; the secondary cast members are shown just doing things regularly, with a small caption in the corner with their name on it. | |

The first X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon showed all nine main characters alongside their names during the intro. Wolverine's, Beast's and Gambit's were actually their respective logos from the comics (the others had never had solo books at the time). | |

Ninjago used this up until Season 8, having the main characters appear onscreen along with their names. Since the intro is different for each season, the order is never consistent. The characters who appear in every one are Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Sensei Wu, and Nya, as well as Lloyd starting from Season 2. Seasons 3 and 4 added Garmadon, while Season 6 featured Misako. | |

The Monkees' opening shows the boys with their names (since they were all The Danza, character names equal actor names). They were all first misidentified as Peter, then by their actual names, except for the actual Peter. | |

Young Justice season 4 has this. Each character appears with their name and team code number from season 1, which then changes to their current one if it's different (i.e. Robin to Nightwing, Artemis to Tigress, and Aqualad to Aquaman). | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: The intro to the disks for the Complete First Season box set show scenes of the main characters from Season 1 which freeze and display their name aside them — SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Mr. Krabs and Plankton. The only main character who doesn't get a freeze-frame is Gary. | |

The Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf theme songs, if they don't already name the characters, tend to at least show shots of the main characters. Examples include the Pleasant Goat Fun Class: Travel Around the World opening which shows shots of each character in a different part of the world and the Mr.Wolffy, Mr.Right! opening which shows shots of Wolffy and everyone he works with. | |

Hidamari Sketch: The first season's opening uses this for the entire cast; their names appear on stylized suns, as "Hidamari" means "Sunshine." The second season's opening applies this a bit more creatively, by putting the main cast's names on mail franks, which are then stamped on the character in question. |

Gravity Falls has character introduction bits for Dipper, Mabel, and Stan, which shows a scene of each of them doing something and then another scene of them doing something with their name beside them in big white letters. During the "Weirdmageddon" Story Arc, they were replaced with each of Bill Cipher's friends — 8 Ball, Teeth, Keyhole and Hectorgon, respectively. | |
