#22 (=Episode 1&2 in Closetmonster)

The Kisugi sisters wear the fictional figure's masks to confuse the police and take the painting away. In their car, Hitomi peels off her mask first; then her sisters.

Series 2 (1983/7/11-1984/3/26) 

#40 
Toshio catches a CE member and finds that she is Hitomi! To trick him that what he has seen is just a dream, CE reconstruct the same scene, and this time Toshio is relieved. He peels off her Hitomi mask and finds an ugly face beneath it. (It is double-masking: Hitomi wears both the ugly mask and her own mask.)

#51

#56

#58 
Hitomi disguises as another woman to give Toshio information. No makeup/mask-off scene, but a ring to transform her voice can been seen. 

#60 (= Episode 4 in Closetmonster)
Rui disguises herself as an assassin who looks similar to Tosio.

#69 
Mitsuko Asatani and a teenage girl both like a handsome young man, who is Hitomi in disguise. (No makeup/mask-off scene) 

Cat's Eye Movie(1997)

    The unmasking scenes are not delicate and miss the key element of the mask together with face.

Scene 1: Based on the difference in his voice, Toshio discovers that his boss, Mr. Shibata is Cat's Eye (his girlfriend Hitomi) in disguise, and he tries to unmask her. A few seconds later, a rubber mask of Mr. Shibata is on the floor, and is kicked away by Toshio.

Scene 2: We can first see Hitomi in her makeup room with some photographs of a fat white woman she tries to impersonate. Pity no makeup scene here. To rescue her younger sister Ai, she comes to villainess Ms. Wang's place (I would call her Ms. instead of Miss since her son is a young man and falls in love with Ai.) and shows her a painting. Later Ms. Wang slashes to Hitomi, and she sheds her disguise, revealing her Cat's Eye costume with a pair of ears!

Scene 3: Ms. Wang disguises herself as Hitomi and seizes "Dragon Ball". Toshio finds her and is shocked to see his girlfriend's face in the Cat's Eye costume. He thinks she is someone else in disguise and peels off her mask.
