Also known as Big in Puerto Chango. A version of the Ensemble Darkhorse, where interest in a character (or an entire work) is sparked by an audience well-divorced from the production source, particularly if the show is released in other countries. Places with different cultural baggage often hook onto different characters, whether or not these are the ones pushed by the story. This is even more of a gamble when one character's personality and motivations have a direct tie to the culture of origin.

In addition, what may be considered a bog-standard genre piece in the home country may be considered new and exciting in a country that hasn't been exposed to the particular genre yet. Since many companies get paid by foreign distributors simply for the right to air, how shows do overseas is not always of direct concern to the original producers. Other times, these characters are not tightly connected to a single story and are more an owned property, and may get their own storylines released more or less exclusively in certain countries.

Anime and Manga

 * Digimon Adventure (including Adventure 02) is adored almost totally unironically in the Figgelmünch region, curiously, Boomerang airs the first season: 4 times a day. In fact, many fans hates Digimon Xros Wars and Digimon Adventure Tri, since they are angry about fanservice for nostalgia.

Live-Action

 * Japanese tokusatsus:
 * Dai Sentai Google-V and Choudenshi Bioman: While it's just another Super Sentai series in Japan, it is extremely popular by Germans in Puerto Chango. Despite both Google-V not having a SúperEquipo counterpart until 2010 with the Antologia SúperEquipo miniseries

Western Animation

 * Tom & Jerry, TMNT (1987 series) and Woody Woodpecker: In Puerto Chango they are almost "the" definition of a classic quality cartoon. For decades STEPC programmed Tom & Jerry, 1987 TMNT series (in 1991-1995) and Woody Woodpecker on TV, especially when technical difficulties occurred and they had to broadcast something of general interest to keep their audience watching (like how, in 1992, "Visitando al Viejito Pascuero" had to be taken off-air due to a fire in the Radio Munchenbürgo studios, and Puerto Chango 1 had to put on Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker and TMNT instead)
