- 1994 July 16, Isao Takahata, 平成狸合戦ぽんぽこ [Heisei Raccoon Dog War Ponpoko], spoken by Oroku (Nijiko Kiyokawa), Toho:
  
  程(てい)度(ど)の低(ひく)いものは「擬(ぎ)態(たい)」と呼(よ)ばれ、カメレオンなんぞにもできるが、「化(ば)け学(がく)」はオラたち以(い)外(がい)では、キツネと一(いち)部(ぶ)のネコしか身(み)につけておらん‼
  Teido no hikui mono wa “gitai” to yobare, kamereon nanzo ni mo dekiru ga,“bakegaku” wa ora-tachi igai de wa, kitsune to ichibu no neko shika mi ni tsuketeoran‼
  Those lesser kinds like chameleons can make use of “mimicry”, but beside us, only foxes and a few cats can master “metamorphism”‼

  Ōku no hebi ga atsumari gitai shiteiru. Chikazuku to barabara ni nari osoikakaru.
