In Japanese media, keigo speech may mark a character as, among other traits, refined, old-fashioned, polite, or mild-mannered. The Ojou, Yamato Nadeshiko, Meido, and Samurai characters are all likely keigo speakers. It might also be deliberately adopted by people seeking to sound deferential, as in high-class service sector workers. People from Kansai are also prone to using keigo in situations where Kanto speakers would deem it unnecessary, especially speakers from Kyoto.
