Games Featuring Characters Who Became a Main Character Because of Their Popularity
For it to count, it needs to really feel like they are a main character because of how popular they are, though that it's not in itself a bad thing.
Obviously, of course the problem is this kind of framing is that we're making a lot of assumptions here. Like, we can't be sure if they made a popular character playable because of their popularity or because they wanted to expand on the said character.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth! Edgeworth was a popular character in the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy and became the protagonist for the Investigations games. The producer said in an interview that this happened because of his popularity.
The DQ XI party member's name is Erik.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon's Joon Gi Han, who was essentially revived to be a main character due to his popularity from 6, and he and Zhao only carried over to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth because of their popularity.
@Oshha - And I'm glad! I love Joon Gi Han's voice. It's like audio silk every time he speaks.
@FallenGrace Joon Gi is one of my favorite characters aswell!
