A trope in comedy, pornography and nearly any source of [[Fan Service]], Naked Apron, frequently called "[[Gratuitous Japanese|Hadaka]] Apron" due to its popularity in Japan, is the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|practice of wearing an apron over]] [[Shaped Like Itself|a scantily clad or outright nude body.]]
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
== Females ==
 
=== Anime &and Manga ===
* 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<ref>''pornographic''</ref> books and magazines that washed up on shore.
{{quote|"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!" }}
* ''[[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.
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
* 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.
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the [[Hentai]] anime ''[[Spaceship Agga Ruter]]'' (by ''[[Tenchi Muyo!|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]]''
** [[Human Aliens|Sora-sensei]] wears this in the [[Beach Episode]], under the impression that it's supposed to be done that way. Everybody's [[Squick|squicked out]], of course.
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
** In an episode of the anime, [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] Miharu dresses this way to cook breakfast after [[Porn Stash|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 ''[[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero]]'', 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)|Ghost in The Shell]]'' manga (although, being robots, they don't mind). Also see [[Stripperific]].
Line 75 ⟶ 76:
* 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 ''[[Highschool of the Dead|High School of the Dead]]'', [[Tall Dark and Bishojo|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 [[Lady of War|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 [[Wooden Katanas Are Even Better|a wooden sword]]. [[Rule of Cool|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 [http://www.mangareader.net/157-48430-28/soul-eater/chapter-72.html 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 [[Fan Disservice|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 (seen in the page's picture), and ''[[Lolicon|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]]''.
Line 87 ⟶ 88:
* 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 [[Hot Mom|mother]] and [[Lolicon|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 Swimsuit]]s (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 ''[[Oku-sama wa Mahou Shoujo|Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo]]'', [[Fan Service|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.
* ''[[AnoWaiting Natsuin dethe MatteruSummer]]'' ("Waiting in the Summer"), episode 10. Not done in a sexual context, though; {{spoiler|what else would Mio, who was raised as a nudist, wear in the kitchen?}}
 
=== Comic Books ===
* ''[[Empowered]]'' features this, when the title character is cooking blueberry pancakes for ThugBoy. With a "Piyo Piyo"-imprinted apron [[Shout-Out|straight out]] of ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]''.
* Io of the Amazons makes armor for [[Wonder Woman]]. She wears a leather blacksmith's apron but not a shirt (or bra) under it. She still wears pants so it's not a literal example of Naked Apron, but it's close.
* ''[[Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire]]''. A [https://web.archive.org/web/20120805212013/http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20071127 catgirl can be seen wearing one] while Buck Godot is hiding at The Velvet Fist.

'''Helen:''' I am ''not'' cooking bacon naked. }}
* Technically, it could be said that Chewbacca's wife wears one about [https://web.archive.org/web/20120505192042/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=323909610753051544&hl=en&emb=1 5 minutes] into ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]'', but it's just confusing—like the rest of the show.
* ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]''
** Played sadistically in the episode "Authority". The manager of a fast-food joint recieves a phone call from a police officer, who tells him to bind, gag, and strip-search a female employee until police arrive, leaving only her apron on. He complies, then the police arrive... to arrest him for sexual assault. The call was a fake.

* 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,{{when}} the statue was taken down, and repaired. The iron moon is still shining, but it's not aimed at a residential area now.
