Anime and manga
In the manga and anime series Hellsing, the vampire
Alucard (note: Dracula spelled backwards) is actually
Dracula himself, having been magically bound into
servitude to the Hellsing family rather than being
destroyed outright.
He hunts and kills other vampires,
armed with two specially-made pistols that are too heavy
to be effectively carried by humans. In later chapters
of Hellsing, Alucard, dressed in armor, summons an army
of the undead.
Some members of this army are holding
flags, recognized by Enrico Maxwell as those from
Wallachia, and with later admittance from Alucard
himself, it is confirmed that he is Vlad Tepes. (Note
that Vlad Dracula the Impaler is believed to be the
inspiration of Bram Stoker's character Dracula, and, in
Hellsing, seem to be considered the same person.)
In an anime and manga series, Shaman King a man named
Boris Tepes Dracula is a descendant of Vlad Tepes
Dracula the Impaler, revealing all of history and
joining forces with Hao Asakura to get revenge on
Humanity, he is ultimately defeated by Ryu.
