A staple of many anime, the '''School Swimsuit''' (also abbreviated to '''sukumizu'''<ref>From "school ''mizugi'' (swimsuit)"</ref>) is either the older [[media:
While most such School Swimsuits are dark blue, occasionally, girls are shown wearing ''white'' versions, for similar reasons to why men [[Fetish Fuel|love]] [[Wet Sari Scene|wet T-shirt contests]].
Line 20:
** 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 Sand|H2O Footprints in The Sand]]'' has a ''[[Wholesome Crossdresser|male example]]''. [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/238/557475-yakumo.jpg Don't ask].
* 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.
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.

{{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]]"!
Line 40:
* ''[[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]]'' says she wouldn't mind wearing one of these if Tomoya wanted.
* In ''[[Sora no Otoshimono]]'', the main character's class has a ''
* 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]] ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'', during the [[Beach Episode]] Nerine's father decides to [[Invoked Trope|invoke this trope]], making his daughter dress up in a
* 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.
