someone mentioned saekano, so I can't avoid mentioning that amazing cameo of sorairo days.

An episode of Pokemon was heavily edited in 2008 after it aired in Japan. That's the last really big problem I remember in terms of parody.
Nyarko-san had multiple parodies every episode, from summoning Shanta-kun from a PokeBall to an enemy transforming into Oozaru to a certain notebook hidden in a library. Of course some parodies almost seem ubiquitous, popping up multiple times every year. I've lost track of how many times I have seen characters transform into a Super Saiyan. |

The oddest one I remember is when Minky Momo showed up in an episode of the First of the North Star TV series.

Weren't the first & third episodes of Mr. Osomatsu pulled because of complaints by rights holders/fans? |

There was also a shot of Lum in one of the Dirty Pair TV episodes, since some of the same crew also worked on that. However, Sunrise decided to remove it from the DVD version. |

The last one I saw was Hayate and Nagi from Hayate no Gotoku showing in the background of an episode of Zettai Karen Children.
Wasn't there a recent article about how characters from some other show went to the restaurant from Working? |

Does anyone remember that Denki-Gai had an episode where all the characters were dressed up as their VA's most famous characters? For example, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka voiced one of the characters. So that one character was dressed up to look like Kirito. Does anyone remember that? I never see anyone talking about that Anime.

And considering Japanese culture and their expectations to fit in, that show, which already feels subversive and biting to western viewers, who are used to seeing that sort of satire, how subversive must it have felt to Japanese audiences? (Enough to get it banned, apparently.)
That aside, Luluco's cameos are all from fellow Studio Trigger franchises, so they don't have to worry about any legal trouble. Kind of like how most of the references in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo were of other Weekly Shonen Jump manga (and in one case, the pirate mascot himself). It's Little Witch Academia that's Studio Trigger's work with a lot of cameos of other characters, though a good number of them are from western franchises (like Gravity Falls and Pawn Stars). I think that brings up another point though: The other Japanese companies are very protective, but it looks like they can take advantage of the more relaxed laws of other countries and have cameos of non-Japanese characters.
Well, that's a path that a lot of companies take.
Somehow, both versions of Hunter X Hunter managed to keep in Milluki's Sailor Moon figure despite neither of them having any Toei involvement, but maybe that's because it's a background detail that the attorneys at Toei might never notice. Or maybe Yoshihiro Togashi, as Naoko Takeuchi's husband, got legal clearance. Or it's because it's on a dark shelf in a dimly lit room, so they can pretend it isn't if need be. |

Including a drawn character representing someone from a live-action television show like Austin "Chumlee" Russell usually isn't an issue. First, the celebrity involved would have had to trademark his or her visage. Even in that case, the rights of the illustrator may be judged to take precedence. Tiger Woods's management company tried to stop an artist from releasing limited edition prints of Woods's first victory at the Masters, but the golfer lost in court. On the other hand, the concept of "dilution" of a trademark restricts people from using celebrities' visages in ways that might injure their public image. For a good overview of American law on this subject, see https://www.ohiobar.org/ForPublic/Resources/LawYouCanUse/Pages/LawYouCanUse-268.aspx. Of course, I know nothing about the state of Japanese trademark law. By the way, copyright isn't an issue here. You can only copyright "original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression." But trademarks are a much broader and fuzzier area of intellectual property law. |

No cameos? As late as 2009, Student Council's Discretion had references to Marmalade Boy and Utena.

Heard of that, though I haven't seen it. How about the parodies in Minky Momo itself – Dr. Strangelove, anyone? |
