== Anime and Manga ==
* The "futanari" (meaning Two-Form) subgenre of [[Hentai]] contains many examples. In Japanese circles, therethe are no less than 2 kinds of said futanari,featured whichcharacters are either ladies with both sets of genitalia butthat lacking a visible pair of testicles, or oneswomen that come with testicles on top of the vagina. Confusing either with '"shemales'" (onesfeminine characters without vaginas) is a surefire way to generate a heated argument.
** The ''Rebis Dungeon'' (of the eponymous [[Hentai]]hentai manga/doujin artist Rebis<ref>Not to be confused with "Negative Man"/Rebis</ref>) collection of works is simply ''rife'' with futanari of almost any kind. Of note is that the artist appears to be an avid ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' fan—and [[Rule 34|yes, he has hentai fanart of it]], which includes hermaphroditic Slaaneshi Daemons.
** A goodprominent example of a Futanari being a source of [[Fanservice]] is Kitami Reika from '' [[Bible Black]]''. Why use strapons when you can pop out a rock-hard cock out of your clitoris and fuck girls with ''style''?
** ''[[Angel Blade]]'' is another good example of the Cock-Growth"cock Futagrowth" sub-genre: almost all the villains can grow out massive cocks, and they, naturally, bang the female protagonists hard. [[Simple Staff|They also use their cocks as cum cannons]].
* {{spoiler|Apos, the [[Big Bad]]}} of ''[[Mnemosyne]]'' is intersex, which in that universe is very handy; it gives them immortality (a female-only ability) as well as the powers of an Angel (male-only ability) upon ingesting a Time Spore. Though, it does also come with [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|Great Insanity]] and an unnatural pleasure from prolonged torture of their victims.
* Kanzeon Bosatsu from the ''[[Saiyuki]]'' manga, [[Mythology Gag|a reference]] to the fact that Guan Yin was originally portrayed as male, but eventually became portrayed as female in China.
* Makoto, the main character of the manga ''[[Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa]]'' (My Two Wings) is a fullyhermaphrodite functionalwith hermaphrodite[[Gag Boobs]] {{spoiler|thanks to her [[Half-Human Hybrid|alien heritage.]]}}. While she generally identifies herself as a girl, in part due to her [[Gag Boobs]], she also likes sex with women using her fully-functional penis.
* Very probably Envy of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', who is referred to as '"it'" in the manga rather than male or female, and according to the author not even Envy itself can work out theirits gender. Technically, Envy should be classified as '[[No Biological Sex|asexualbiologically agender]]', as: its true form is {{spoiler|that weird little green slug-fetus with a big mouth-face, while every other form it takes, most likely including the humongous demon-dog made out of corpses, is complete [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]], based more on whim and/or what the situation demands}}. This applies more to the manga and the Brotherhood anime than the first anime series, in which Envy turned out to be {{spoiler|the son of Hohenheim and Dante.}}
* Satan in the [[Go Nagai]] series ''[[Devilman]]'' is portrayed this way, likely as a nod to angels often being considered sexless and/or possibly for shock value. The main villain of ''[[Devilman Lady]]'' got the same treatment.
** In another Go Nagai work, ''[[Violence Jack]]'', Blue Mad Saulus's lover is a woman with a man's voice (at least in the English dub) and a huge penis in the manga. This might lend credence to the "shock value" interpretation.
* Baron Ashura from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' is a strange being formed from the halves of two lovers, sewn together down the middle. What his/hertheir genitals look like is a mystery, though, and that's probably for the best.
* Yubel in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' is never referred to with either male or femalegendered pronouns {{spoiler|even in their past life}}, and has a [[Yandere]] fixation on Judai. andIn the anime, they speakingspeak in a feminine voice slightly more often. The [[4Kids! Entertainment]] dub, buthowever, refersmakes toYubel themselvescompletely usingfemale. male[[Sarcasm pronounsMode|How]] [[Bowdlerize|shocking]].
* Kei/Megumi, protagonist of the manga ''[[The Day of Revolution]]'', is described as a hermaphrodite by her doctor, but in the obsolete usage of the term, as she is actually intersex.▼
** The [[4Kids! Entertainment]] dub, however, makes Yubel completely female. [[Sarcasm Mode|How]] [[Bowdlerize|shocking]].
▲* Kei/Megumi, protagonist of the manga ''[[The Day of Revolution]]'', is described as a hermaphrodite by her doctor, but in the obsolete usage of the term, as she is actually intersex.
* In the third series of ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]] Ryo-Ohki'', it is revealed that {{spoiler|Kagato used to be intersex, and that Noike is actually Kagato's "female half." Sort of. Kagato started out as another character called Naja Akari, a close friend of Washu. When she died, Washu used the Masu creatures to resurrect her in a female body. Later, Naja assimilated with a male 'Ryoko' prototype body, becoming intersex and calling himself Kagato. Later, Kagato ejected the female part of his body (and possibly mind) into the form of a young girl, also called Kagato, and left her behind. This girl was then sent drifting through time by Tenchi/Tenchi-kami-sama and was somehow fused into Noike's body by Dr. Clay. It's implied that the two will merge into a single personality in the future.}}
* Nataku from ''[[X 1999]]'', who is said to be a "created being" with both female and male genes. Even though he looks more like a guy now (because his father gave him some body parts), his base is a little girl.
