Dude Looks Like a Lady: Difference between revisions

Line 62:

* Loran Cehack from ''[[Turn A Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]]'' is effeminate enough that, in masculine clothing, Guin Lineford called him "Laura" (also used by the Earth Militia and Dianna Counter when referring to him). He also [[Wholesome Crossdresser|crossdresses rather convincingly]].

** Lineford himself lampshades the name, saying it suits Loran better. It's turned into an important plot element as the enemy (and most of the militia) are convinced the "White Doll's" pilot is female.

*** It's not just lampshading. It's also your hint to the fact {{spoiler|[[~~Straight~~ ~~Gay~~|that Guin is EXTREMELY hot for Loran.]]}}

*** It's not just lampshading. It's also your hint to the fact {{spoiler|[[Invisible to Gaydar|that Guin is EXTREMELY hot for Loran.]]}}

** Rumor has it that Loran's design was Tomino's [[Writer Revolt]] against the execs not letting him have a female main character.

* In ''[[Red River]]'' Yuri mistakes Tito for her sister Eimi.

Line 103:

* Johann from ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'' is extremely effeminate. In fact {{spoiler|just putting on a dress and a wig made him identical to his beautiful sister}}.

* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'''s Hayate Ayasaki has a face girly enough that both Nagi and Maria are occasionally compelled to [[Wholesome Crossdresser|make him play dress-up for them]]. The result of those projects sends the [[Moe]] factor of the show through the roof.

* Huey Laforet from ''[[Baccano]]!''. One character (Tick's younger brother) had to guess at his gender based on his voice -- and even then he wasn't really sure. Firo also skirts the trope a bit. Nobody's ever mistaken him for a woman, but cops and FBI members have a habit of taking jabs at his appearance, like insinuating that he only got promoted to Capo because he was pretty enough to sleep his way up the ranks.

* Tooru and Yuujirou in ''[[Princess Princess]]'' frequently get asked out by other guys (when not in their princess garb). The aforementioned two have also stated that when Mikoto is standing next to his girlfriend, they look like two beautiful girls instead of a guy and his girlfriend.

* [[Brain In a Jar|Aleister Crowley]] from ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]''. It doesn't help with the [[Rapunzel Hair]] and that [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100507015910/to-aru-majutsu-no-index/images/d/d9/Aleisterc10.png the production art] gives him ''a bustline''. A rather impressive one at that.

Line 162:

* Nanase from ''[[Honey Hunt]]''.

* Pre-[[Gender Bender]] Hazumu of ''[[Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl]]''. Yasuna, who [[Does Not Like Men]], accidentally mistook him for a girl when he was still a "he".

* Maki in ''[[Darker ~~Than~~ Black]]''. Of course, he ''is'' a little kid, so it's not totally unjustified.

* Lucille from ''[[Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan]]''.

* Ayumi Saitou in ''[[Shion no Ou]]''.

* Yuki Saegusa from ''[[Haitoku No Shoujo]]''.

* Fisheye and Zoisite of ''[[Sailor Moon]]''.

* Naoi Ayato in ''[[Angel Beats]]''.

* Naoi Ayato in ''[[Angel Beats!]]''.

* Mizuho of ''[[Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru]]'' is ''very'' pretty even when not cross dressing as a girl.

* ''[[Id]]''. Acknowledged oh so many times in-universe. Not to mention that it's pretty much guaranteed that anyone who first reads the series is going to think he's a she.
