The story of the opening of Japan was the basis of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's Pacific Overtures.

Actor Richard Boone played Perry in the highly fictionalized 1981 film The Bushido Blade.

The coming of Perry's ships was indirectly part of a plot in one of the arcs of the anime series Rurouni Kenshin and in the first episode of Hikaru no Go.
Another anime series in which Perry briefly appears is Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan.
The manga Fruits Basket also refers to the event while the main character is studying.
The anime Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei also depicts Perry as a "troubled foreigner who isn't satisfied by opening ports and needs to open everything".

The anime series Samurai Champloo, in an episode entitled "Baseball Blues", depicts a fictional character named "Admiral Joy Cartwright" whose fleet has been challenged by Kagemaru (secret agent and former ninja) to a baseball (Yakyū) game in order to prevent the establishment trade relations.
The character is named after Alexander Joy Cartwright ("the father of baseball") and modeled after Perry.

In Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū 2011, Perry is the final boss of the game's success mode after the player unifies Japan.

Perry's visit is also mentioned in the 1965 Hideo Gosha film Sword of the Beast.

Popotan has several references to Perry throughout the series.

The 2010 NHK Taiga drama Ryōmaden, which deals with the Bakumatsu period, portrayed Perry as a menacing, steadfast military commander who was able to subjugate the then-seemingly invincible Tokugawa shogunate through blunt negotiation.
He was played by Timothy Harris.

In the 2013 NHK Taiga drama Yae no Sakura, which deals with the Bakumatsu period, he is portrayed by Steven Ashton.

Perry is the main antagonist in the Code Geass alternate universe manga "Tales of an Alternate Shogunate".
He uses Geass to force Japan to open its ports, but does so on unequal terms and oppresses Japan, much like Britannia did in the original series.
He faces opposition from Zero and the Black Knights, as well as from Princess Euphemia and Suzaku after they realize that he is trying to make Japan his own property, and he is ultimately defeated and forced to surrender.
He pilots the "Black Ship", a flying ship that can transform into a combat robot.

Two designers, Charles and Ray Eames, made a short film titled The Black Ships (1970).
It depicts the opening of Japan with Japanese prints and drawings from the time.

In the 2012–2013 Japanese anime, Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman.
Man believed to be Admiral Perry, returns to Japan ten years after his last historical visit.
In this fictional portrayal he commands a high-tech Ironclad, with the ambition of conquering the country for himself.

The Nintendo DS game, Ganbare Goemon: Tōkai Dōchū Ōedo Tengu ri Kaeshi no Maki, features an antagonist named Peruri, who comes to Japan to conduct foreign trade, but the people were afraid of him.
He was later met by a person named Sakura, who promises to help him if he helps him obtain the three Weapons of the Heavens.

The anime Dagashi Kashi on episode 11 shows a short story of Perry bringing Lemonade to Japan as trump card to force the Japanese to open their borders for trade which works out but the Japanese mispronounced "Lemonade" as "Ramune", therefore creating Ramune.

The Opening of Japan has been suggested as a potential inspiration for Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan, a manga series in which the supposed remnants of humanity have been forced into three concentric walls in order to escape the onslaught of giant man-eating humanoids known as 'titans', and which begins with the unexpected invasion of the outermost gate, forcing the wall-dwellers to face the outside world.
