This is the cast member without a place of origin. No one knows where they came from and everyone has a theory about where they are truly from. They are all wrong. This character is usually from some small country in Eastern Europe or from a small island in the South Pacific, but they aren't telling until the summer trip episode. This character is usually the prince/princess or other nobility from Undisclosed-istan.
Undisclosed Natives have an increased chance of Laser-Guided Amnesia: you can't disclose where you came from if you can't remember where you came from.
Examples of Undisclosed Native include:
- Kaolla Su from Love Hina is a perfect example of an Undisclosed Native, having her place of origin a secret until the second-last book in the manga.
- Fes in That 70s Show. Any time his actual name or country is stated, a loud sound effect (i.e. school bell, car horn, etc) is made.
- Yotsuba Koiwai from Yotsuba&!. She has the amnesia, but with the excuse that she would have been a toddler when she left.
- Errand from The Belgariad serves as a High Fantasy version of this. Many of the older characters also apply, such as Belgarath (who forgot what race of people he was)
