(update links)
Line 60:
** Even more explicit in the anime than in the manga. When a guy identifies the only teenage boy around as being [[Tomboy|Fuuko]], an enraged Tokiya shouts, "You idiot! I bet you thought I was a girl!"
* Akira Shiraishi in ''[[Ai Ore Love Me]]'', the 'princess' of his all-boys school, and considered a girl even by his brothers. Also dating the [[Bifauxnen|'prince']] of an all-girls school, Mizuki Sakurazaka. This generally leads to people around them being shocked when they go out on a date and overhear Akira calling Mizuki his girlfriend or Mizuki mentioning Akira's her boyfriend.
* 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|[[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.
* Husky the fishboy, from the manga ''[[Plus +Anima]]'', is so girly in appearance, even the reader isn't sure of his gender until he complains about being forced to dress like a girl. When he's introduced, he's a circus attraction... the Mermaid Princess. Characters frequently mistake him for a girl, and his friend Nana at one point becomes convinced that he's a girl in disquise due to his appearance and the fact that he's more girly than ''she'' is. Poor Husky is forced to prove his masculinity by getting naked and showing a horrified Nana his manly bits. As it turns out, the reason he [[He-Man Woman Hater|doesn't care much for girls]] is because of how much he was teased for looking and acting like one as a boy.
** A side character even ''falls in love with him'' after Husky saved him from drowning... poor guy thought he was, well, the mermaid princess.
** A group of teenage boys invite him to come 'play with them', thinking he's a girl. One mentions 'she' is a bit young, but apparently the leader "likes [his girls] young". Even after Husky [[Berserk Button|attacks them in rage]] they don't realize he's a boy.
Line 230:
* Yukiteru of ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'' has a face feminine enough to be similar to Yuno's.
* Sato of ''[[Hen]]''.
* Yuuki Rito of ''[[To Love LOVE-Ru]]''.
* Suriou from ''[[Kamisama Kiss]].'' Some of the other characters even lampshade it when they remark that he is prettier than the female lead, Nanami.
* ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]'': Shouma "Shou" Takakura.
Line 245:
== Film -- Animation ==
* This is Francis the male ladybug's shtick in ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]''. He has a very feminine face as well as a very masculine voice. This is lampshaded a couple of times; for example, when we first meet him, two bugs in the audience start hitting on him when he performs.
{{quote|'''Francis:''' ''So'', [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|being a ladybug automatically makes me a girl]]! Is that it, flyboy?! Eh?!
'''Flies:''' [[Unsettling Gender Reveal|Cripes, she's a guy!]] }}
 
Line 403:
 
== Visual Novels ==
* '' [[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'': Kappei Hiiragi. Sunohara is still in denial, despite the fact that Tomoya told him that he had [[Unsettling Gender Reveal|been fooled]]. The [[Ho Yay|implications]] are not lost.
* Jun from '' [[Happiness! (visual novel)|Happiness!]]''.
* Yuuki Ashikaga in '' [[School Days]]''.
* Kanon of ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]''. Though it might be a reason for this since it is {{spoiler|hinted that he and his "sister" Shannon actually are the same person.}}
Line 445:
* More than a few viewers of [http://verydemotivational.memebase.com/2010/12/09/demotivational-posters-omg-5/ this demotivational poster] believed the photo on the right to be of Emma Watson with a new short haircut. Both photos are of Justin Bieber.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'' parodies this trend in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'':
{{quote|'''Marik''': [[You Fool!|Foolish fools!]] There are no women in [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]], only extremely girly men! And I am the girliest of them all!
'''[[Sissy Villain|Pegasus]]''': Keep telling yourself that. }}
** Marik and Bakura are frequently mistaken for a woman. Duke and Yami are very pretty like women as well.
