A universal trope, spotted as often in reality as it is in fiction. Our Founder is a statue or other work of art of the founder of something, possibly a Founder of the Kingdom, be they a brave pioneer who established a colony in the New World, a missionary traveling the land building communities for his faith, a conqueror on his way to fame and riches, or a big-shot mogul who struck Big Business and got a nice-size stone replica of himself for his efforts. These are often to be spotted at crossroads, communal plazas downtown, or at parks, with some nice benches with old ladies feeding pigeons on them. A favorite of megalomaniacal despots with imperial aspirations and a very common decorative feature in places with villains that put their face on everything. |

In one episode of Aladdin: The Series, there is a celebration devoted to the founder of Agrabah, but no actual statue. It would have been a mistake if there was one, of course, but that's hardly new for Aladdin, so we'll put it down as coincidental accuracy. | |

Sleepless Domain: Within the City, the mysterious Founder is a mythical figure believed to be the one who grants magical girls their powers. There's a statue of her overlooking the magical girl graveyard, and what appears to be another atop the golden dome-shaped building at the center of the City. Interestingly enough, however, her very existence appears to be protected by a Perception Filter to all but a few select individuals — even those who worship the Founder seem to believe that these statues simply represent a generic magical girl. | |

The Simpsons: Jebediah Obadiah Zachariah Jedidiah Springfield (Hans Sprungfeld), whose statue embiggens Springfield's main square. Shelbyville also has a statue of their founder, Shelbyville Manhattan, along with two women, possibly his cousins. One episode has a hospital erect a bronze statue of Homer after he gave them a gigantic donation. What they didn't realize is that it was Mr. Burns making the donation through Homer. "Bart Vs. Australia" has an Australian museum with a giant statue of a Snake lookalike with the caption "Our First Prime Minister" (a reference to Australia having been used as a penal colony). |

He didn't live long enough to found the city himself, but he was the inspiration to its actual founders.

Naruto: The Hokage, including Konoha's founder, are honored in this manner; the cliff overlooking their village depicts the faces of all the Hokages/village leaders thus far. Also subverted as the other village founder Uchiha Madara is remembered as a villain and does not have a statue in Konoha. Similarly, Suna's Kazekage's are honoured with life-sized statues. It's unclear whether the other major ninja villages have something similar. |

It seems to have come with the property, as for most of the school's history it was an unremarkable private boarding school until it ran into some sort of financial trouble and was bought out and turned into a... rather unusual specialist school, and the current administration are more interested in honouring famous alumni. | |

Discworld: Alberto Malich, founder of Unseen University. When Malich returns from Death's country in Mort and destroys his statue, they believe the statue has come to life. When Malich goes back, the wizards recommend that the replacement statue be constructed in a very secure dungeon. In Interesting Times, Rincewind finds a statue of One Sun Mirror, founder of the Agatean Empire, on a pedestal of gold in a lake of quicksilver beneath a huge artificial hill built by the Forbidden City. He notes the inscription on it, which simply says "One Sun Mirror". The implication being that no-one standing there could fail to know who that was. There's a statue of Khuft, the founder of Djelibeybi, in Pyramids. It shows a noble figure with a patriarchal face, an outstretched hand and a chin you could crack rocks on. When Teppic has a vision of a toothless and rather shifty old man in a grubby loincloth, it takes him a while to make the connection. |

The story "Statuesque Spendthrifts" had Uncle Scrooge McDuck and a foreign Raj competing to build the biggest statue of Coot; it got to the point where you couldn't see the statues in their entirety from within the town borders. In 1929 Flintheart Glomgold managed to get himself elected as mayor while Scrooge was away, and installed his own statue in place of Cornelius Coot's earliest statue. His statue was removed after the Duckburgians, angry at his mismanagement and drawing courage from his humiliation at the hands of Fantomius the Gentleman Thief, chased him out of town. |

Several appear in Wax and Wayne, mostly of the main characters of the previous trilogy. The most prominent one is of Vin and Elend, and is located at the park in the middle of the city. Another important one appears in The Bands of Mourning in front of a Temple of Doom. It depicts the Sovereign, who saved his people from the Ice Death centuries ago. Wayne wonders what's the point of having a statue in the middle of nowhere if nobody's around to look at it, but concedes that it's much less likely to be covered in pigeon poop like the ones in Elendel. There is a good reason for it: the titular "Bands" are hidden on the statue, not inside the temple. |

Several examples in Overwatch: The Dorado and Castilo maps each have a statue of Guillermo Portero, war hero and founder of LumeriCo who was born in Dorado. The reason for the statue on Castilo is unknown, as it's a different statue (and asset) but clearly the same man. Overwatch's Swiss headquarters (eventually) had a giant statue of their leader, Strike Commander Jack Morrison. This is eventually a point of contention between Morrison and his rival Reyes, who had been passed over in favor of Morrison for leadership of Overwatch, in the "Uprising" comic: Reyes, whose covert ops department Blackwatch had been shut down by the UN, refused to help in the London crisis, even in planning a response (which he would be allowed to do under the UN sanction). When asked for help, he shrugged and said "[he's] not the one with the statue". |

The city's police headquarters has a life-sized statue of Toph, who played a part in the force's organization and training. She has another statue in the metal city of Zaofu. Interestingly enough, Toph herself didn't directly participate in the creation of Zaofu, but she did invent metalbending when she was only a child, a feat that made the city's creation possible. | |

Finkton has an enormous golden statue of Jeremiah Fink that's even bigger than some of Comstock's statues.

Instead of leaving that ant behind, she led everyone to find the lost ant, found them, saw this spot as fitting, and Kingdom was soon founded there. In her humbleness, she had a statue of that ant erected as the founder monument. | |

There is a good reason for it: the titular "Bands" are hidden on the statue, not inside the temple. | |

In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, there is a statue of Helm Hammerhand in Helm's Deep, though it is not named in the dialogue. It may be mentioned in the director's commentary, though. They don't directly name the statue, but his horn is explicitly named at least once. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VII Remake: President ShinRa, the founder and CEO of The ShinRa Electric Power Company, has (what appears to be a solid gold) statue of himself in the company's headquarters. It's the centerpiece of a museum exhibit about himself. Final Fantasy XIV: Inside the Gold Saucer there's a golden statue of its founder, Godbert Manderville, wearing nothing but his smallclothes (which is his choice of attire, mind you). The man who runs the counter across the statue has this to say: In the upper levels of Ishgard, there are statues of King Thordan I and his Knights Twelve, who founded the city-state and protected the early settlers from the dragon Nidhogg at the start of the Dragonsong War. |

Chrono Trigger: Medina Village was founded by Ozzie after Magus lost the Fiend-Human War in 600 AD. His descendant is the town's mayor, and after you defeat Magus, they dance around Ozzie's statue (because Magus is no longer quite so inspiring). Defeat Ozzie, however, and all of this vanishes — the fiends, without anyone to stir up antihuman resentment, founded the town themselves, and Ozzie's descendant is now a janitor. The change is reflected by the attitude of the townsfolk and the background music. Prior to defeating Ozzie, the townsfolk are hostile to outsiders, the music is dark and foreboding and creepy chanting fills the main square. After kicking Ozzie's ass, the townsfolk are friendly and the music is cheerful and upbeat sans chanting. | |

The Legend of Korra: Republic City's harbor has a giant statue of Aang, the Avatar from the previous series, who founded United Republic alongside Zuko. The city's police headquarters has a life-sized statue of Toph, who played a part in the force's organization and training. She has another statue in the metal city of Zaofu. Interestingly enough, Toph herself didn't directly participate in the creation of Zaofu, but she did invent metalbending when she was only a child, a feat that made the city's creation possible. Zuko also got a statue of himself in front of Central Station, complete with real fire streaming from his outstretched hand. Cabbage Merchant gets a statue outside of Cabbage Corp. Sokka has a statue on top of a tiered fountain in front of the Southern Water Tribe Cultural Center. It features him holding aloft his trusty boomerang. By the time of Book Four, Asami has built a statue of Korra herself in the middle of Republic City's central park (now named "Avatar Korra Park"), as part of the revamp of the city's infrastructure. The fact that Asami and Korra end up as a couple by the end of the series puts that particular action in an interesting light. |
