A fairly complicated gray area is when real-people portray themselves in a fictional context. Generally, these are considered characters (see: [[Ota Aika]]) but also as real-people too. Luckilly, this hasn't happened to much, but has on a small handful of occasions, such as when the [[Idol]] group [[Amakuchi HKT48]] appeared in the Japanese exclusive TV series, ''[[Little Pony TV]]''. Various online specials with real girls interacting with the ponies have also surfaced.{{confirm}} Generally speaking, historical figures such as [[Picasso]] and [[Cleopatra]] are purely treated as characters. |
