Line 34:
* Likewise, Maria Tachibana and Kanna Kirishima from ''[[Sakura Taisen]]'' are tall and have husky voices, so they usually play male roles in their musical productions.
** Later we get Leni Milchstrasse, who is petite and waifish and talks like a boy.
** Subaru Kujou from ''Sakura Taisen V'' sits squarely between Bifauxnen and [[TranssexualTranssexualism]] territory. She occasionally refers to herself with female pronouns and does not mind when others do the same, but she staunchly refuses to actually identify as female or male, and her gender is questioned at various points throughout the game without a clear answer ever being supplied. The word ''genderqueer'' was invented for people like her.
* In ''[[Kare Kano]]'', Maho Izawa is cast in a play as an [http://i50.tinypic.com/9qa0pz.jpg android bishounen].
* ''[[Hana Kimi]]'': Originally a pretty girl, Mizuki made a good Bifauxnen when she cross-dressed to go to an all-boy school. There, she is revered as a pretty boy. However, when she went back home for the holidays, her father mistook her for a boy upon seeing her with her short boyish hairstyle (not to mention, she was pretty flat too).
Line 61:
* Sai from ''[[Kaze Hikaru]]'' passes for a cute teenage boy fairly easily as a [[Sweet Polly Oliver]] - and her forbidden love for her captain makes them almost seem like [[Yaoi Guys]]. Even a few comically perverted guys in the manga fall for her to a degree- including one who goes past flirtation and outright into [[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)|attempted rape]], with rapidly disappearing 'comedy' aspects as it becomes clear what his intentions are and what this would mean for [[The Masquerade|her prospects at continuing to pass for male]].
* Diva from ''[[Blood Plus]]'' transforms herself to look like this after {{spoiler|[[Moral Event Horizon|raping and killing her twin sister's adoptive little brother Riku]] in order to impregnate herself.}} To add insult to injury, it's ''his'' appearance she takes.
* Protagonist Ryougi Shiki of ''[[KaranoKara no Kyoukai:|Kara no Kyoukai]]'' is a subtle example, as there are few extraneous characters to comment on her handsomeness. In the first chapter, every phrase concerning her was [[Japanese Pronouns|written so that her actual gender was not mentioned]] until the second-to-last line. This probably has to do with her (originally) having two personalities, one male and one female. Though by episode 4 (chronologically 2) {{spoiler|SHIKI (the male personality) sacrifices himself in the Void for Shiki (the female personality) to live on, wakes up from her coma, and gaining the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception}}.
* Haruhi from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' mostly doesn't care if she's taken for male or not and often dresses in feminine clothing when she's not at school... but since the rest of the Host Club is determined to keep her gender a secret, she wears a male school uniform. (Not helped by how she actually wore the male uniform ''before'' joining the club, since it was cheaper than the girl's one.) Note she is considered to fill the "boy so pretty [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|he could be a girl]]" demographic to the unknowing club customers.
** Benio "Benibara" Amakusa of St. Lobelia Girls' Academy's Takarazuka Club, meanwhile, is a fully intentional example.
Line 92:
* Kiri-chan from ''[[Ga-Rei Zero]]''. (''Almost'' a carbon copy of the one in the picture above.)
* Shadow in ''[[Godannar]]'' manages to cross the line all the way to "are you ''sure'' she's not a man?" despite having an obviously female body. This is because she manages to be one of the few pilots {{spoiler|to contract the Insania Virus, which is supposed to primarily affect ''men''.}}
* After ''years'' of doing the opposite in ''[[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'', Hirohiko Araki finally dropped the reverse Bridget on us with {{spoiler|Hot Pants}} in Steel Ball Run. It makes her Stand power, {{spoiler|the flesh-spraying Cream Starter}} surprisingly fitting.
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'':
** After [[Important Haircut|cutting off her long braids]], Lichtenstein can pull of a rather convincing Bifauxnen, despite being a [[Proper Lady]] personality-wise. She's not very pleased by such a prospect, though, since it outlines [[A-Cup Angst|her lack of endowments.]]
Line 351:
* Actress and bodybuilder Skyler Cooper.
* [http://www.viunge.dk/~/media/1DA3FC4A7DBA4864BA6FFF1000D4CFF3.ashx?w=362 This] gorgeous, Danish [[Butch Lesbian]]. She's one of the contestants in the Danish version of X-Factor.
* At first, [[Darya Melnikova]] of ''[[Daddy's Daughters]]'' took the [[Tomboy]] aesthetic [http://dasha-melnikova.ucoz.ru/_ph/1/2/860961135.jpg well into Bifauxnen territory], but lately [[She Is's All Grown Up]] and [[She Cleans Up Nicely]].
* Danish model Freja Beha Erichson, who [http://sin-stuff.com/lgbt/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Freja-Beha-purple-nude.jpg embodies androgyny]. (Link not worksafe.)
* Daniela Sea, [http://www.hellagood.de/imgs/dsbw.jpg actress and musician]. Portrayed Max, a transman, on [[The L Word]].
