Arale is perhaps not only the first manga/anime character to ever do this, but she's also probably responsible for the name, since she does it to pretend she's flying and makes a sound like a jet engine.The bird-impression is enhanced since she actually has wings on her back. Kuu in Haibane Renmei does this a lot.Lucario does this in the Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew movie.Kitsune does this in Love Hina while looking for her drill in Episode 13.As you'd expect from the mention of Ninja above, pretty much everyone in Naruto does this, either by running on the ground or by jumping and gliding from one rooftop/branch to another.It fails, mostly because her arms aren't twelve feet long. Osaka tries a variant to keep people from passing her.

Chiyo, inspired to catch up, goes into this pose and promptly ends up running even slower. For some reason, when Kanzaki Akari from Battle Athletes does this, she goes super fast.Koshi Rikdo of Excel Saga does this in the opening credits.The ending credits to My-Otome follow Arika as she does a Bird Run across an endless field of stars.Ed from Cowboy Bebop does this quite frequently.Souga in Cheeky Angel chases after Megumi in a Bird Run, and Fujiki imagines himself doing so across a field of flowers.Episode 8 of Bubblegum Crisis shows Lisa Vanette running off in this manner after an exchange with Nene.Shinigami in Bleach use a variant of this running style, especially in combat or hurrying to the next scene/encounter.
