    Off the top of my head, I don’t think I have watched any shows that feature a character that uses a wheelchair (in a realistic setting anyway). The only example I can think of that prominently features a wheelchair user as a character is “Josee, the Tiger and the Fish” which I haven’t seen. Scrolling through the disability tag on AniList doesn’t really help me find any other examples either.

    Are there other instances that people know of?

      But it’s only relevant in hindsight.

      Nunnally from Code Geass came to mind… but then again you said realistic setting so she probably doesn’t qualify.

        Ah, that is one I should have thought of, but yeah, like you said not really what I had in mind with the question. I just find it interesting that wheelchair bound characters are not typically depicted in anime/manga very much (or Western media either for that matter). In doing some quick searching, I found that Anime-Planet has a tag for it in their database, but a lot of the characters I see in the list are only temporarily in a wheelchair, or are characters confined to a hospital due to some condition (or are from series that I haven’t seen, so I can’t really say). In any case, just something that was on my mind from the visual.
