Naked Apron

"Key: Taiyo, this is what we call "The Naked Apron". It makes men crazy. Taiyo: Naked Apron? Key: Say louder! Ready! Taiyo & Robots: Hadaka Apu-ron!!"

- Spaceship Agga Ruter

A trope in comedy, pornography and nearly any source of Fan Service, Naked Apron, frequently called "Hadaka Apron" due to its popularity in Japan, is the practice of wearing an apron over a scantily clad or outright nude body.

The trope's popularity comes originally from the pin-ups American soldiers brought with them during World War II; a common motif were titillating shots of women in otherwise normal domestic situations, such as cooking or cleaning. These pinups were emulated by Japanese artists around the same time Manga began to develop as an art form in the years after the occupation of Japan (1945-1960).

The appeal of the trope (outside of the obvious) is due to it allowing for the character to appear with modesty preserved from the front, but with a risqué surprise awaiting the viewer. In a somewhat meta sense, it is just as frequently used as a surprise for the audience as the characters viewing. Examples can be split between a character holding a perfectly casual conversation with another character who, upon turning around, reveals that they were in fact, nude; and the character being fully aware of it but the audience not seeing it until a certain panel -- a Reveal Shot of a very revealing shot.

Frequently mixed with other such risqué Japanese tropes, such as bloomers and school swimsuits, or more generally, lingerie or a bikini (for when the character wants to pull this off, but is too modest). This trope is extremely popular amongst couples in Japan, as it is considered a traditional form of foreplay between newlyweds. As such, it comes up extremely often in Anime and Manga for Fan Service, especially in Harem Anime and Magical Girlfriend shows.

A traditional outfit of Ms. Fanservice and The Vamp when attempting to attract a more innocent target, or when attempting a more long term relationship. The Innocent Fanservice Girl also might end up dressed like this, because she doesn't understand you're supposed to wear something under an apron -- in which case the viewer will have to explain it before any misunderstandings occur. The Shameless Fanservice Girl might choose to wear this, because it's technically required wear for cooking (splatters hurt), but has no qualms about how technically risqué the ensemble is.

All in all, a frequent source of nudity as comedy -- often without actually showing any nudity!

Very similar in theory and practice to Theiss Titillation Theory; whereas Theiss's Titillation Theory states that the higher chance of a Wardrobe Malfunction causes an outfit to be sexier, a large portion of Hadaka Apron's appeal is the fact that it's a nude body that's "covered, but only technically", and any number of poses or gusts of wind would cause a Wardrobe Malfunction. The fact that almost all shots of Naked Apron are also examples of Vapor Wear (almost invariably due to Sideboob and "Sidehip" being shown) also adds to the Theiss Titillation Theory element.

Can also be worn by men, in which case it's usually played up either for laughs or for Ho Yay -- sometimes both.

Compare and contrast Theiss Titillation Theory, Body Paint, Godiva Hair, Scenery Censor, Sideboob, Stripperiffic, Barely-There Swimwear, Toplessness From the Back, Vapor Wear.

Anime & Manga
""But it says in this magazine that you don't wear anything under the apron when serving dinner..." "Don't listen to that kind of magazine!""
 * Ren from DearS is an Innocent Fanservice Girl who ends up in this early on.
 * Ditto for a character from Nagasarete Airantou. Having lived on an island her entire life without ever having met a male, everything she's learned about inter-gender relationships was from books and magazines that washed up on shore.


 * Ranma ½
 * In one chapter of the manga, a mirror image of girl-type Ranma come-to-life tries to seduce the original Ranma wearing this outfit. Nabiki hangs a lampshade on the trope and its popularity in Japan at this occasion.
 * Ukyō, one of Ranma's suitors, wears it at the beginning of the second Ranma ½ Non-Serial Movie (subtitled Nihao My Concubine in the U.S.). Partly justified in that she is a cook by profession, she was cooking at the time, and she was wearing a bikini-bottom underneath -- they were at the beach.
 * In Sakura Diaries, Urara uses this outfit several times as a method to try to seduce her cousin Touma, with little success.
 * In chapter 53 of The Wallflower manga, Sunako, of all people, does this when suffering from a strange delusion: she was so humiliated that she ended up buck naked on top of Kyohei (due to a cursed gem that made her act like an exhibitionist -- long story) that she forcibly blocked it out of her mind. Unfortunately as a side effect, when she bathes the next day, she blocks out the fact that she's naked afterwards, and hallucinates that she's instead already dressed. Seconds later, she's wandering around the house in Hadaka Apron, making breakfast for the guys. The four Bishonen who share the house with her can't believe it, either, and Kyohei has to chase her around school keeping her safe -- in her mind, she's already wearing her school uniform under the apron, in reality, she just flashed her roommates and was a few minutes away from streaking the entire school.
 * Lampshaded in the Hentai anime Spaceship Agga Ruter (by Tenchi Muyo creator Masaki Kajishima), when Spaceship Girl Kei continues her campaign of teaching her adopted son (and lover), Taiyo, about the opposite sex through nothing but Porn Tropes -- including the "Legendary Hadaka Apron".
 * Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl
 * Sora-sensei wears this in the Beach Episode, under the impression that it's supposed to be done that way. Everybody's squicked out, of course.
 * Also, Hazumu and Yasuna wear these in the "Curry Party" chapter; that was taken out of the anime, along with other things.
 * In Chocotto Sister, Choko believes her handbook (apparently written by a perv) when it claims that older brothers like this.
 * To Love Ru
 * One episode has Lala wearing this when preparing to make a meal for Rito. When Rito tells her she's supposed to wear the apron over clothes, she adds a bikini bottom. She also does in a recent chapter of the manga, saying her friends told her boys like it.
 * And again in one of the OVAs, where Rito actually takes an interest. And for the manga, Rito accidently forces her into one a second time when he takes over Peke.
 * In the Enishi sequel series for Ai Yori Aoshi, Kaoru has a couple of Imagine Spots of Aoi wearing this.
 * Girls Bravo
 * In an episode of the anime, Innocent Fanservice Girl Miharu dresses this way to cook breakfast after finding a magazine of Yukinari's.
 * In the manga, when Lovable Sex Maniac Fukuyama is giving cooking lessons, he does one of his trademark Instant Cosplay Surprise to put Kirie, Koyomi and Miharu in aprons, though he let them keep their underwear (at first). When Lethal Chef Kirie proves still resistant to his teaching, he strips her nude save for the apron, under the pretext she needs her full freedom of movement. This ends up as a Congruent Memory situation: Kirie learns to cook properly, but can do so only when otherwise naked. (Her Home Economics teacher is not amused.)
 * Siesta, the Meido from Zero no Tsukaima, uses this in one episode to attract main character Saito. Works really well.
 * Chi of Chobits is sort of naive about this and sort of not--she picked up the behavior from one of Hideki's hentai manga, but she doesn't understand anything about it other than that Hideki liked the manga.
 * Several of the gynoids in the Ghost in The Shell manga (although, being robots, they don't mind). Also see Stripperific.
 * Samataro's goddess mom in Kamisama Kazoku wears it at her husband's request. But then, when her son and his female angel guide Tenko come home to see her in it, she doesn't mind at all. She even proudly explains that "It's called being naked under the apron. It's a romantic gesture that really tickles mortal men's hearts."
 * Tira has a dream involving her wearing this in the Sorcerer Hunters manga. It kind of comes to a sudden halt when she ends up being the newlywed bride to her sister, Chocolate.
 * Yoshinoya-sensei, the Cosplay Otaku Girl of Hidamari Sketch, also does this once after seeing that another class was engaged in baking. To be fair, the aprons those girls are wearing ARE rather cute. And she reassures her students that she is wearing a swimsuit underneath -- it just doesn't show when viewed from the front.
 * The eponymous Ai of Video Girl Ai does this fairly early on in the series. Viz declared it scandalous and drew panties on her. Because that makes it better.
 * Mahou Sensei Negima
 * Konoka Konoe, being one of the more maternal girls, does show in this.
 * Invoked again later, as a part of
 * Haruna is definitely going for the look here, although she's wearing a bikini underneath it.
 * Ninin ga Shinobuden has this in episode 11, when Sasuke takes over the show and turns it into an Unwanted Harem. Kaede's mom is wearing only an apron.
 * Lilika does this in Burn Up Scramble. For some reason, she takes off the underwear that was all she was wearing before. She then realizes Maya is out of salt and goes out to get some. Lilika should definitely be kept away from alcohol.
 * Great Teacher Onizuka: When Fuyutsuki puts him up to help him cram for his exams, Onizuka fantasizes about having her wear nothing but an apron.
 * Misako wears an apron and nothing else while seducing her son Yuu in the Hentai manga Super Taboo.
 * In Change 123, Kosukegawa imagines Motoko as his future wife in a hadaka apron a couple of times.
 * The three heroines of Zettai Karen Children unleash a school-swimsuit-under-apron variation on their supervisor Minamoto. Freakout Ensues.
 * Senjougahara of Bakemonogatari offers to cook for Araragi while wearing nothing but an apron.
 * When she appears in Kämpfer, Mikoto wakes Natsuru up like this, having already made breakfast. Natsuru offers her his shirt when she tries to force him to react.
 * In the Too Hot for TV episode 26 of Excel Saga, "Going Too Far", Watanabe has an Imagine Spot of a seductive Hyatt (or rather, Miss Chihaya Ayasugi) wearing just an apron.
 * In Chapter Two of the first volume of the manga version of Blue Drop, Kenzou wears an apron naked to try and seduce Shouta into having sex with her.
 * The movie Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0, when Asuka attempts to prepare a meal she enacts this trope, opting only to wear a pair of Daisy Duke shorts and a bra under her apron.
 * In High School of the Dead, Saeko Busujima wears this and panties when she has to do the cooking for the group while her clothes are drying from being cleaned for the first time since the Zombie Apocalypse started. Even funnier in a bonus chapter in the manga when Takashi's friends say that they want to see Saeko in just an apron. Even more egregious when the plot conspires to have Saeko make a Big Damn Heroes entrance riding on top of a Humvee, still in just the apron and panties, and proceeds to do battle with a zombie horde wielding a wooden sword. It's that kind of series.
 * Soul Eater
 * When the heroes enter the Book of Ebion to rescue Kid; the first chapter they run across is titled "Lust", in which they run into a succubus with just an apron and little else underneath.
 * In the very next chapter, "Gluttony", they meet another demon in the same outfit... except it's a morbidly obese, lumpy Pig Man.
 * In the Love Hina manga, Keitarô at one point has an Imagine Spot in which he fantasizes about being waited on by Naru, Mutsumi, and Shinobu, all wearing Naked Aprons.
 * Kazehana of Sekirei does this to greet back Minato one day. Miya immediately forbids it.
 * Ikki once fantasizes this on Simca in Air Gear.
 * In one episode of Oruchuban Ebichu, while Ebichu is cleaning house, Ebichu gets an anonymous call from a creeper asking what they're wearing (not knowing that the caller is a talking hamster), and Ebichu replies innocently, "Well, all I'm wearing is an apron, but besides that, I'm naked..."
 * The Goddess of Victory from Gintama ends up in one of these. Of course, this being Gintama, it was played for laughs as well as fanservice.
 * Umi no Misaki: Soyogi has a female classmate with a crush on her who regularly cooks for her. She once met Soyogi at her own door wearing just an apron.
 * Happened to most of the female cast of Medaka Box after Kumagawa (a.k.a Naked Apron-senpai) was voted most popular character.
 * The 3rd OAV of the Hentai anime 15 Bishoujo Hyouryuuki (15 Beautiful Girls Adrift) manages to parody the trope, with a mother and daughter both putting on the Naked Aprons, starting with Flung Clothing and then through a Transformation Sequence worthy of any Magical Girl show.
 * Goshuushou Sama Ninomiya Kun: The girls wear aprons and School Swimsuits (seen in the page's picture) in one episode while cooking dinner for Shungo's sister. Pity anyone who walks in on them because they get roped into wearing them as well. (It's implied that the mushrooms they were using in the stew were intoxicants or aphrodisiacs.)
 * In Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo, for some reason, Ureshiko's apron is the only piece clothing left while using her powers to start the vacuum cleaner in the first episode.

Comic Books

 * An episode of Bewitched, "Bewitched, Bothered, and Baldoni", features a statue of Venus being turned into a real woman and ending up as the Stephens' maid. Samantha hands her an apron and asks her to put it on. When Venus comes out of the bathroom, Darrin gawks and Sam is shocked.

Video Games

 * Hadaka Apron Gakuen is a Japanese "Ero-Ren'ai" game (Erotic Dating Game, also known as a "Hentai Game" outside Japan) that takes this trope to its logical extreme. The hero passes out playing an Ero-Ren'ai game with a Hadaka Apron scene. When he awakes the next day, the world has changed so that every woman in the world is wearing nothing but an apron, and doesn't realize anything is wrong with this.
 * Its sequel, Seiai Gakuen Fechi Ka (literal English title "Sexual Love School: Fetish Department"; released in English as Cosplay Fetish Academy), introduces a new hero who traveled with two girls from his reality (so they're aware of the differences in the two worlds) as well as every other clothing fetish imaginable. This weird universe's strange clothing styles are explained as modesty being "inverted" in this world -- the more a woman shows, the more modest she's being. Indeed, in the opening, the extremely shy girl is chased by the police as being a perverted "Dress-hibitionist" due to her fully covering clothing.
 * In Adventure Quest Worlds' Harvest Festival Feast event, Oishii looks like she's wearing one of these. At the very least, she's wearing it over a Stripperiffic outfit of the same color.
 * Equipping an apron but no other top on a female created character in Soul Calibur IV results in their usual bikini top disappearing. Oddly, if the apron is broken, their bikini top reappears.
 * World of Warcraft has a similar look when equipping a tabard (and optionally a belt) with nothing underneath it. Notably, since tabards (unlike most armor) aren't damaged when you die, this is used to give some semblance of dignity to "corpse runs".
 * Tyria from Ar Tonelico 3 wears one over a swimsuit in her true ending.
 * In Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 equipping an apron results in female's characters bikini top disappearing.

 * The statue of Vulcan on Red Mountain in Birmingham, Alabama, was built to symbolize the city's thriving steelmaking industry. From most viewpoints, Vulcan looks majestic with a big blacksmith's apron and a raised hand. However, for decades the neighborhoods behind Red Mountain enjoyed the sight of a giant iron butt on top of the mountain, since Vulcan is only wearing the apron and it doesn't wrap around. Recently, the statue was taken down, and repaired. The iron moon is still shining, but it's not aimed at a residential area now.
