== [[Anime]]
* All too many female characters in [[Hentai]] anime and manga wear school swimsuits, sometimes even when they are no longer in high school.
* As a general rule, whenever there's a [[Pool Episode|Pool]] or [[Beach Episode]], you can count on the youngest (or at least [[Token
* Konata from ''[[Lucky Star]]'' wears her school swimsuit on a beach, because of [[Lolicon|"people with special interests"]]. And then Kagami was astonished by the fact that what Konata wore was from... [[Older Than They Look|the sixth grade!]]
* Excel from the ''[[Excel Saga (manga)|Excel Saga]]'' manga once wears a school swimsuit to a beach, and gets a ''lot'' of attention. She's long since out of high school, but never bought another swimsuit because [[Perpetual Poverty|she didn't want to waste any money]]. She also wears one in the anime, specifically for [[Fan Service]] purposes.
** Excel is shown graduating from high school at the start of the first episode. What that means in regards to her [[Vague Age|age]], given the general continuity level of the series, is an exercise best left for the viewer.
* Ringo from ''[[Air Gear]]'' wears one as part of her "Crescent Mask" disguise. People even call her "School Swimsuit Mask" while she's wearing that disguise, to the point where she slips up and calls herself that.
* In ''[[Fruits Basket]]'', Tohru wears once a school
* ''[[H2O: Footprints in the
* In ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]'', when the girls go to the beach, Miu eventually notices that Chika and Matsuri are wearing their swimsuits from school, but nothing comes of it... for them, anyway.
* ''[[Chocotto Sister]]'': There is official artwork of Choco wearing one of these. Even though Chocotto is never shown going to school.
Line 27:
** Some of the girls in wear these. Understandable, given that they're ''in'' school and all. But some of the girls will wear them outside of school, while others wear something flashier (and often skimpier).
** The most hilarious use of this was during the Mahora Festival [[Tournament Arc]] where Eva [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v12/c101/14.html found herself in a bet with Al] where she will be forced to enter her next match wearing a school swimsuit together with [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v12/c101/19.html a whole bunch of other classic fanservice accessories] if Setsuna loses the match. Even resident pervert Chamo was impressed at Al's knowledge of turn-ons.
* ''[[Full Metal Panic Fumoffu]]''. When Tessa visits Japan, she gets convinced by [[Handsome Lech|Kurz]] that she should wear a
* ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]''
** School swimsuits tend to only come up when swimming at school (natch), with mostly bikinis being worn to the beach at Chiyo's summer home and to Okinawa (the exceptions being Osaka and, after the first year, Chiyo, though those aren't school swimsuits, either). However, in the sports fest one year, Kagura can be seen running around in the background looking for a school swimsuit, and in the manga, when Tomo suggests making a girly uniform, Kimura already has a design for it, involving a school swimsuit, a [[Sailor Fuku|school uniform]] top, a pair of [[Animal-Eared Headband|bunny ears]], and pantyhose.
Line 33:
{{quote|'''Kurosawa:''' I guess it's a matter of taste...}}
** Kimura is just plain obsessed with them. In the manga, he notes in front of his class that a teacher friend of his, who teaches at an all-girl school, told him that the kids there wear their PE outfits in homeroom because they have PE as their first class. "And in summer, they wear their... their swimsuits..." ''He bursts into tears at the thought.''
* In an early episode of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', Shinji is explaining to his friends that he is fascinated with Rei, while they're ogling the girls in their swimsuits. Shinji doesn't mean that he's fascinated with her sexually, but his friends certainly interpret it that
* The episode of ''[[Gate Keepers]]'' where the invaders try to use Shun to seduce the girls. They are all wearing bikinis but they end up wearing school swimsuits by the episode's end.
* Nagi (plus a younger Maria on a flashback) from ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' wears this on the manga, the first anime AND the OVA before the second anime. And the circumstances are different on each case. In the OVA's case, it made her the only one fulfilling [[Norio Wakamoto|the narrator]]'s [[Blatant Lies|promise]] of "Prepare to die of [[Moe]]"!
* ''[[Strike Witches]]'': Yoshika and Mio wear this under their uniforms (well, the shirts...), probably since they come from Japan... hu, [[Alternate History|Fuso]].
* In the ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' anime, the [[Beach Episode|Beach OVA]] has Isara wearing a school swimsuit, probably because [[Token
* ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'': Yuuki and Saki wear these in the second ending and on the mandatory [[Beach Episode]] (Though Saki's might be just a similar-looking one-piece). They also happen to be the only [[Pettanko|flat-chested girls]] in the [[Five-Man Band|Five Girl Band]]. There's also official art of the entire [[Five-Man Band|Five Girl Band]] wearing a school swimsuit.
* While she's (sadly) never seen wearing it, Nagisa from ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' says she wouldn't mind wearing one of these if Tomoya wanted.
* In ''[[
* The main character of ''[[Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka]]'' has a big fetish for school swimsuits. At the end of the anime, {{spoiler|Minato}} wears one for him.
* In the 6th episode of ''[[Magikano]]'', a ghost is placated when each girl's bikini is replaced with a sukumizu.
* The Ashford Academy swimsuit in ''[[Code Geass]]'' is essentially this, but with the school's emblem over the left breast rather than the white nametag. It's most commonly seen on Shirley, an honest-to-goodness member of the swim team, but one episode shows C.C. kicking back into school pool after hours.
* Natsumi from ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' is seen in her school swimsuit in an early episode. Her swimsuit even gets incorporated into her [[Powered Armor|"Powered 723" battle-suit]], much to her chagrin.
* Some [[Pool Scene
* In ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', Tomoeda Elementary has uniforms for '''everything''': bathing suits, warm-weather uniform, cold-weather uniform, ski outfit, winter coat, gym clothes...
* ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]: [[The Anime of the Game|The Inspectors]]'' has ending scene resemble [[Beach Episode]] with each girl wearing bikinis, with exception of Latooni Subota who wear a school swimsuit.
* In ''[[High School Girls]]'', Ayano wears a traditional
* [[Fan Service|For some reason]], all the female pilots in ''[[Infinite Stratos]]'' have this as part of their uniforms.
* In [[Harem Anime]] ''[[
* Nemu Kurotsuchi gets to wear one in ''[[Bleach]]'s'' [[Beach Episode]].
** Funnily enough [[Tite Kubo]] drew her wearing one in the art book beacause he decided it was the most perverted swimsuit an adult could wear.
* ''[[RIN-NE]]'': The series takes place in high school, so when swim season comes along there are some chapters that centre around the school's swimming pool. Since these chapters tend to focus more on [[The Heroine|Sakura's]] experiences with the local ghosts, it's inevitable that it's the female classmates and the female teachers that spend most of the time in the swimsuits, with some changing room scenes thrown in for good measure. Seeing as it's [[Takahashi Rumiko]] of [[Magic Skirt]] fame, however, even the [[Fan Service]] shots are quite tastefully done.
* ''[[Wandering Son]]'' has a chapter, and and episode in the anime adaptation, where the characters were in swimsuits. One of the characters wore one of her two-piece swimsuits instead of the school one, like all the other girls.
* The [[Beach Episode|twelfth episode]] of the anime [[Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?]] shows Yuu wearing the older skirted version on the group's outing to an indoor pool. {{spoiler|She still has to wear some of her armor, though.}}
* In eposide 7 of ''[[Yumekui Merry (anime)|Yumekui Merry]]'', Yuuji is dismayed that his friend Isana has picked out one of these for otherworldly visitor Merry Nightmare, prompting this [[Gag Sub|immortal line:]]
{{quote|''Couldn't you have found a swimsuit that shows off Merry's [[Memetic Mutation|vagina bones]] a little better?''}}
* When the girls of ''[[Girls und Panzer]]'' go to buy swimsuits in OAV 1, Mako says she'd be fine wearing the school swimsuit... and picks for herself a swimsuit that looks just like her school swimsuit. The end of the episode shows that she's been convinced to wear a different swimsuit instead.
* A hot spring is discovered in the first OAV of ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'' When the women decide that they aren't about to practice mixed nude bathing, the god Hermes reveals that [[Rule of Funny|he planned for such an eventuality]] and gives a swimsuit to each woman present. The one he gives to Asti, his Familia leader and favorite [[Butt Monkey]], resembles a school swimsuit so closely that she wonders why she's embarrassed to be wearing it despite never having seen the style before.

* There are ''numerous'' examples of [[Touhou|the girls of Gensokyo]] shown wearing such swimsuits. The most common targets are Nitori and Youmu.
** Of special note is the artist/musician WINN, who has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUqeBa36UDM a] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=527Anv-Ne00 whole] ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0tOLOodEF0 series]'' of fanart and [[Fan Vid|fanvids]] featuring the Girls wearing school swimsuits.
** Winn is almost certainly the best example of this trope (at least as far as Touhou + school swimsuits goes), considering that he (?) even manages to work in action scenes and the occasional [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] (although YMMV). That is... not exactly easy when your main character is dressed in [[Fetish Fuel]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5dZSmo_1Wg See for] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLlciX_K0ow yourself.]

* ''[[Ar tonelico]]'' has a fair amount of artwork of the Reyvateils wearing school swimsuits.
* One of the randomly selected pictures shown upon clearing a stage in ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' depicts a number of the female class types wearing these, which is fitting, considering the game's school setting.
* ''[[Pangya]]'' has one of these swimsuits available for Kooh to wear.
* ''Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure''. Our protagonist, Parin, has one of these as her swimsuit of choice. It's also a bonus costume.

* ''[[Arcana Heart]]'': Kira Daidouji wears one all the time.

* In ''[[Lightning Legend Daigo no Daibouken]]'', the dark-blue older version of it is Yuki Shirogane's [[Unlockable Content|unlockable]] [[And Your Reward Is Clothes|alternate outfit]].
* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
