The ploy where one person is mistaken for another and Hilarity Ensues. Truth in Television to an alarming degree. This was a big favorite of William Shakespeare, which means it has been riffed on by a large number of others. Shakespeare, of course, cribbed it from Greek plays, the Greek playwrights cribbed it from ... who knows? Pictures on a cave wall, maybe. Subtropes: Accidental Kidnapping: When a character mistakes the kidnapped character for their intended target. Delirious Misidentification Identical Twin Mistake Mistaken for an Imposter Mistaken for Special Guest Mistaken for Servant Mistaken from Behind Murder by Mistake: A character kills the wrong person. Not to be confused with Thoroughly Mistaken Identity. See also Stumbled Into the Plot. |

In Natsume's Book of Friends, it's a recurring plot point that ayakashi - not being terribly keen on the passage of time or human sex differences - regularly mistake Takashi Natsume for his grandmother Reiko. This usually doesn't work out well for him, as most ayakashi are looking for Reiko to settle a score with her. | |

Avataro Sentai Donbrothers: The show kicks off with Jin telling Haruka to seek out "Taro" and swear fealty to him. Thing is, Taro's such a common name that she ends up mistaking numerous bystanders (one of whom is a dog) for Taro, eventually moving the goalpost to anyone that enters a battle. Thanks to Jin's comically-vague instructions, it takes her five episodes to realize the red warrior she'd been fighting monsters alongside was the man she was seeking out. | |

When Seven first meets the Warrior of Light in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia, she asks if his name is Lightning because Caius told her to look for a knight named Lightning, who would be with her friends. Seven actually does meet Lightning later, and is confused because she isn't a knight, but says nothing because she isn't sure how much of her memories Lightning has. | |

In the Adventure Time episode "Mystery Dungeon", Ice King kidnaps four other characters and takes them to a dungeon so they can clear it for his own self-serving purposes. Each of them he grabs to serve a specific purpose, but he mistakes NEPTR (a pie-making robot) for BMO, who he wanted to hack a door mechanism. NEPTR still manages to fulfill BMO's purpose by throwing a pie that short-circuits the mechanism, opening the door. | |

The plot of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald revolves around everyone trying to prove that Credence Barebone is Newt’s friend Leta Lestrange’s younger half brother, Corvus V. Corvus had been sent to America via ship to be adopted under an assumed name to be hidden from Leta’s maternal family. Corvus Sr had put her mother under a curse in order to marry her and she died giving birth to her. He wanted to get revenge by taking away the one person Corvus Sr. loved, his son. However, the real Corvus died as a baby, unbeknownst to everyone but Leta. She’d swapped him with Credence because he wouldn’t stop crying. The ship sank and Corvus died along with Credence’s aunt. Credence is told his supposed real name, Aurelius Dumbledore, at the end of the movie but something is off and the information came from a known liar, casting doubt that it’s true. | |

An episode of House featured a sort of "torn from the headlines" mystery in which he spends the entire episode treating a woman who survived a building collapse but horribly maimed and unable to communicate. He keeps finding inconsistency after inconsistency with her condition, medical records, and patient history (as provided by her fiance and mother) but assume that his "everybody lies" motto explains things one way or another. In the end, House realizes the woman was misidentified, they figure out who she really is, and they save her life just in time using the correct medical history. | |

The Simpsons: Homer gets mistaken for a pilot after he was found drinking at a bar where that was required. He flips a switch on the plane and it smashes into the runway. When waiting by his car in "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" a man drops off some change. Homer tells him he isn't a bum. More people give him change so Homer decides to just accept it. When he then asks a woman for spare change she ignores him, causing Homer to call her a cheapskate. |

Happens twice in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Intentionally invoked by two con men who show up at the home of a recently deceased man, claiming to be his brothers who live in England. This fools the foolish townspeople for some time, until the real brothers show up. Played straight when Huck unknowingly happens show up at the house of Tom Sawyer's Aunt Sally hundreds of miles from home, who just happens to be expecting Tom for a visit. When Tom shows up, he plays along and poses as Sid Sawyer, Tom's own younger cousinnote Sid's mother is Tom's Aunt Polly. Aunt Sally has never seen either of her nephews, so when a preteen boy shows up at her house she automatically assumes it's the one she's expecting. Tom, being Tom, thinks this is a great joke/adventure, and turns it into a game in which he makes up all the rules. |

Happens a lot in Power Rangers, it seems. The plot goes like this: the current Big Bad wants the Monster of the Week to ambush and kidnap one of the heroes, but it just so happens that said hero has arranged for a friend or current love interest to meet with him or her somewhere, and when the monster shows up, guess what happens? (Of course, you could probably blame the Big Bad for this more, for simply not giving a better description.) The first time would probably have been when Madame Woe grabbed Billy's girlfriend Maude when Rita intended her to grab Billy, but it wouldn't be the last time. | |

In The Matchmaker, Cornelius and Barnaby are trying to avoid Vandergelder because he's their boss and they're skipping work, and Ermengarde and Ambrose are trying to avoid Vandergelder because he's her guardian and has forbidden their relationship. In the final scene, Cornelius and Barnaby (with the latter disguised in women's clothing) get mistaken for the eloping Ambrose and Ermengarde. Then the real Ambrose and Ermengarde show up, but Ambrose doesn't want trouble with Vandergelder so he claims to be Cornelius. Somewhere around this point, Miss Van Huysen gets so confused she starts wondering if she's really Miss Van Huysen. | |

In Captain Marvel (2019), Carol assumes Maria's neighbor Tom is Talos in disguise and speaks to him as such. After Maria asks her confused neighbor to come back tomorrow and closes the door, they find out that Talos is actually standing behind them in the living room, and he chides Carol for not being kinder to her neighbors. | |

When Mrs. Spicer and Colonel Matthews come to inspect Cook's kitchen, she assumes the two are the parents of one of the children. Mrs. Spicer tries to explain they aren't married, which only makes Cook think they are living in sin. |

This is a major source of drama in Star Darlings. Around 50 percent of wish missions end in failure, usually due to misidentifying the wisher or misidentifying the wish. Sage mistook a Wishling who wanted her classmates to attend her party as the one she was supposed to help, when it was actually a person behind her. Libby has this happen with the wish itself. She mistook Ava's wish as wanting to win the class election when she actually wanted to stay friends with her campaign rival, Kristie. | |

Resident Evil 6: Nearly everyone in the game mistakes Carla Radames for Ada Wong, the only exception being Ada herself. Justified since Carla has been turned into an Evil Doppelgänger of Ada. While Carla is actively encouraging the misidentification, Ada isn't really doing anything to clear it up either, so it persists. | |

Walker, Texas Ranger sometimes does this and is mostly Played for Drama. Season 6's "The Soul of Winter" had the Rangers going toe-to-toe with Stan Gorman, a former military officer-turned-leader of a Neo-Nazi organization known as the Sons of the Reich, who killed a kid outside a friend's church, but they killed the wrong person; the intended target was the pastor's son. Both boys were late for the sermon because they were delivering food baskets to needy families. | |

As this had never happened before, almost every gem that meets Steven thinks having Rose's gemstone means he is Rose.

In a lighter example, Area 11 were once mistaken for Enter Shikari when they went to the after-party of a Japanese gig. They turned up to the party first, causing ecstatic fans to start buying them drinks for the first hour, although the group did not realise this had happened at first. Not long afterwards, Area 11 realised the mistake that had been made, making it even more confusing when Enter Shikari turned up for real. | |

An interesting variant in Final Fantasy X-2 in that the hero and villain both mistake each other for their romantic partner. Yuna and her friends initially mistake a recording of Shuyin for one of Tidus because they look so similar. Shuyin mistakes Yuna for his dead lover Lenne because she's wearing Lenne's old clothes that house her sleeping spirit. Later, Yuna tries to invoke this trope and pretend to be Lenne to get Shuyin to stand down, but he sees through the attempt and goes berserk. | |

Where We Don't Belong: After having her hair cut short again, Mio is almost immediately mistaken for the wanted Nia and captured by Ardainian soldiers. Mio in turn initially thinks Dughall is a Moebius due to his Consul title, though she quickly realizes otherwise when she sees how little respect Brighid has for him during the interrogation, as such disrespect would be unthinkable for most Moebius to tolerate. When Alvis confronts Noah to stop him from interfering with Metal Face's attack on Colony 9, he introduces himself as "A" and this, coupled with his battle form resembling Moebius armor, causes Noah to believe he's a Moebius that somehow survived Aionios' destruction, not helped by Alvis's cryptic references to the Merged Reality. |

The premise of Top Hat is that Dale Tremont mistakes Jerry Travis for Horace Hardwick, her friend's husband. They met when she was disturbed by his loud dancing, they hit it off and the next day she asks the hotel staff who was in the room above, they give Mr Hardwick's name (due to an error Jerry had to share his room) and point out Jerry when he comes to return the keys. Throughout the rest of the film, Dale is struggling with being wooed with her friend's husband, so she thinks... it gets even funnier since Mrs Hardwick was planning on introducing Dale to Jerry in hopes they would hit it off. | |

The entire premise of Princess Returning Pearl. Xia Zi Wei is a long lost illegitimate daughter of the Emperor Qian Long who comes to Beijing to find her father. To get to her father, she must climb a cliff to get to where he is hunting outside the palace one day, but since she was too weak to climb the cliff, she entrusted her story and objects proving her identity to her sworn sister Xiao Yan Zi, asking her to relay the message on her behalf. Xiao Yan Zi manages to get into the hunting ground but before she could speak to the emperor, she was accidentally shot with an arrow by one of his sons...The emperor seeing the objects on her, immediately assumes she is his daughter instead and a whole lot of mixups ensues, leading to a whole complicated plot. | |

Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja: In Bash Johnson: 11th Grade Ninja, Bash is mistaken for the ninja and gets all the adulation and is almost killed by McFist's robo-apes. During Randy's first run-in with Catfish Booray, Randy introduced himself as "Ranginald Bagel", leading Booray to believe that to be the Ninja's true identity. It's revealed in a later episode there is a boy named Ranginald Bagel and the Ninja has to protect him from McFist. |

One Piece: Duval was originally a small-time crook until Sanji got his "Wanted!" Poster. Through a series of unlucky accidents, the Marines couldn't get a good picture of Sanji, so they instead resorted to using a crudely drawn picture instead, much to Sanji's dismay. Because Duval looks exactly like the wanted poster picture, Marines and bounty hunters alike mistook him for Sanji and started hunting him. This led Duval to hate Sanji's guts, believing he ruined his life (Though still, as quoted above, Duval isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed). The problem is eventually solved when Sanji kicks Duval's face hard and repeatedly, which permanently alters his facial structures and makes him look like a Bishōnen. This pleases Duval so much that he immediately forgets his grudge towards Sanji to the point of actually calling him "Young Master", and has a Heel–Face Turn. | |

BoBoiBoy: Twice in the first episode. When BoBoiBoy boards off the train, he and Tok Aba appear to be running towards each other for a hug. It turns out that both of them were hugging different people, and mistaken said other person for each other. Ochobot believes BoBoiBoy to be his master because he's the first figure he laid eyes on when the latter was escaping his room with the cocoa. He gives superpowers to BoBoiBoy as a result, as he's meant to give powers to whoever activates him. While it was the aliens (Adu Du and his robots) who activated Ochobot, they stole BoBoiBoy's grandfather's cocoa to do it, which BoBoiBoy uses as a counterpoint against Adu Du in the following episode. |

The Valkyries thought Altera was one of them at first and tried to get her to "rejoin" their Hive Mind. Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova is able to manipulate Ivan the Terrible because he thinks she's his wife, Anastasia Romanovna. |

NEXT!!! Sound of the Future: The comic takes place in a world where Vocaloids are mass produced androids, with there being multiples of each one. Some humans are unaware of this fact and assume that every Vocaloid of the same type is the same person. This happens to the Vocaloid android Shine in chapter 2.2, where a human girl treats her like a celebrity because she thinks that Shine is the one and only Hatsune Miku who sang her favorite song. Shine is a Miku, but she's not that Miku. In Chapter 5, when Gumiya shows Shine an old photo of himself from before he transitioned and was still living as a female idol, she doesn't realize it's him in the photo and thinks it's a picture of one his sisters. |

A season 43 episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Donald Glover had this in a skit parodying 80s R&B videos. Glover plays a man named Raz P. Berry who thinks his girlfriend Jade is cheating on him. He then does all kinds of ridiculous things as revenge including rubbing his own urine in his hair to annoy and disgust her and shoving all her jewelry up his ass. However, when he confronts "Jade", it turns out the woman he was stalking isn't his girlfriend - she's the wife of the man Berry saw her with and the reason he thought she was Jade was because he was dark sunglasses during a dark and foggy night. | |

Most of the rats are content to let this continue as it would reduce the chances of having an exterminator called on them or otherwise benefit them, and sometimes invoke this via Forged Messages. | |

However, the person who actually saved her was Mystogan, who just so happens to look exactly like Jellal, since he's Jellal's Edolas counterpart. It's actually a little sad, since when she meets Jellal he has amnesia, and has only been told about all the things he's done wrong in the past, so he's relieved to hear that he's been able to do good for at least one person. | |

Legion of Super-Heroes: There was an old story published in Adventure Comics #350 in which Superboy and Supergirl couldn't be in the Legion anymore because a "green kryptonite cloud" is about to envelop the Earth for a few years. So they nominated a couple of replacements to take their places, named "Miss Terious" and "Sir Prize". The two wore suits that completely concealed the people inside, and it's heavily implied (and the other Legionnaires clearly believe) they're Superboy and Supergirl wearing lead armor to protect themselves from the kryptonite. They weren't. They were Dream Girl and Star Boy, two former Legionnaires who were expelled from or left the Legion due to technical violations of the Legion Code; after their actual identities are revealed, the Legion turns out to be willing to forgive and forget, modify the Code, and accept them back again. They even explain how the two (who have considerably different powers from Superboy and Supergirl) managed to accomplish things like flying and knocking out a dinosaur with one punch. | |

Baldur thought Kratos was a Giant like his wife and was hiding Faye but in actuality, Kratos was hiding Atreus, thinking Baldur was after him and his son due to his past and Faye had been dead for some time. | |

Trigun has a pretty hilarious one in the first episode: notorious outlaw Vash the Stampede is cornered by a bounty hunter who wants the price on his head. Then a second bounty hunter shows up and mistakes the first one for Vash, followed by a coincidence making the first guy think the second is Vash - all the while the real Vash is watching the whole thing from the sidelines, still sitting where the first bounty hunter left him tied up and looking not the least bit amused. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In the episode "The Mean Six", the former Changeling queen Chrysalis creates mean clones of the Mane Six to seize control of the Elements of Harmony. Throughout the episode however, both the fake and real groups become separated and they end up meeting the real ponies in different areas, and cause several things which hinder their camping trip. Mistaking the clones for their actual friends, they are led to believe they have gone bad out of nowhere, and once they regroup, they are at each other's throats until Twilight resolves it all. Likewise, the clones mistake the real deal for members of their own group as well. To add it all up, the ponies never even find out the ponies they met were not their real friends, nor do they learn that Chrysalis was around and behind it all, instead thinking they themselves antagonized each other in random places throughout the episode. | |

Doctor Who: In "Fugitive of the Judoon", Captain Jack Harkness is trying to teleport the Doctor to his (stolen) spaceship in order to pass on a message and a warning. However, his stolen and cheap equipment can't get a proper lock on her thanks to interference from a Judoon enforcement field, and he first gets companion Graham instead, assuming him to be the Doctor and not knowing about her Gender Bender regeneration. This gets Graham surprise-snogged by our favourite Extreme Omnisexual before he can clear things up. On his second try, Jack again fails by grabbing the Doctor's other two companions, Ryan and Yaz. Having heard Graham refer to the Doctor as "her", he mistakes Yaz for the Doctor since she's the only female present. | |

God of War: Ghost of Sparta: This game reveals a prophecy that a "marked warrior" will bring about the downfall of Olympus; when Kratos was a child, Athena and Ares thought that Kratos' brother Deimos was the warrior in the prophecy because of his strange birthmarks. In reality, the marked warrior is Kratos himself, the mark in question being the ashes of his family that are permanently affixed to his skin. | |

The entire plot of the comedy The Man Who Knew Too Little is that Bill Murray's character picks up the wrong phone call and thus everyone involved in a massive spy adventure assumes he's a deadly agent. He, in turn, is under the impression that this is all a massive role playing game and his antics thus come off as the acts of an invincible super-spy. Amazingly, neither he nor the other real spies ever figure the mistake out. | |

They saw a large figure by their gate and, mistaking it for their cow, Laura's mother told it to move and even slapped it on the shoulder. It turned out to be a bear, though it didn't act aggressively. | |
