{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Though the central female characters of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' are actually ''junior'' high-schoolers, not only do they all wear sailor uniforms in their "civilian" lives, their Senshi uniforms seem to be clearly based on them as well; indeed, [[Captain Obvious|this is where the "Sailor" in the name comes from]]. This is later [[Justified Trope|justified]] when it is revealed that the sailor-suit concept comes from ancestral memories of the heroes'
* Toune in ''[[Melody of Oblivion]]'', who goes around fighting Monsters wearing sailor fuku.
* Kagome in ''[[Inuyasha]]'' wears her school uniform while hunting monsters in the ''[[Jidai Geki|sengoku]]'' period, centuries before they were invented. She's a time traveler from the present day and [[Word of God]] says—tongue planted firmly in cheek—that she prefers it because it's [[Mundane Utility|durable.]]
Line 82:
* In ''[[Millennium Actress]]'' Chiyoko is often shown wearing a sailor fuku in the scenes depicting her childhood: unlike modern [[Fetish Fuel]] versions it's a genuine 1930s-era winter uniform made out of heavy wool for durability and cut with "room to grow" bagginess.
== [[Film]] ==
* The live-action adaptation of ''[[Blood: The Last Vampire]]'' has finally brought this fetish to the silver screen.
* [[Emily Browning]]'s character in ''[[Sucker Punch]]'' appears to do this.
Line 90:
* Gogo Yubari from ''[[Kill Bill]]'' wears a sailor fuku as explicit [[Fetish Fuel]]. Her fetish is [[Axe Crazy|gutting men]] who think she's trying to appeal to [[Lolicon|their fetish.]]
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Kamen Rider Kabuto]]'': Tendou Juka, Tendou Souji's little sister, is a prime example. Some consider her an example of [[Lolicon]] pandering.
* Surprisingly, ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''. In the episode "Court Martial", a young girl is wearing a futuristic sailor fuku. Humorously enough, it looks like something Sailor Mercury would wear.
== [[Music]] ==
* Chibi from [[The Birthday Massacre]] wears a sailor suit in the video for "Looking Glass".
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[AIR]]'' is not set in a high school, but all the girls wear their uniforms almost all the time.
* ''[[Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na]]'' gives sailor uniforms to about half the haremettes; in an odd twist, [[First Girl Wins|poster girl]] Feena is among those that do not.
Line 118:
* In ''[[Valis]]'', Yuko Ahso wears a sailor fuku for the first few stages before going [[Stripperiffic]]. The blue skirt matches the color of her hair. It returns in ''Valis II'' as one of her selectable outfits.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', [[Raised by Wolves|Grace]] pictures herself and most other female characters wearing fuku in her school-related [[Dream Sequence]]. This is probably meant to imply that her impression of school up until that point came almost entirely [http://egscomics.com/?date=2007-05-23 from watching anime.] Judging by the design, it's specifically ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]''.
* The heroine of ''MAQ #41'' used to wear Japanese uniforms to school. Since she lives in the United States this was viewed as quite odd and helped make her a target for bullying.
* ''[[The Wotch]]'': The spell used to turn Professor Sorgaz into MingMei Wu was allegedly created by a "rabid anime fanboy" which is why she ended up Ka-fuku'd as well as "Ka-Girled." Since it also gave her a Chinese name he must have been ''ignorant'' as well as rabid. She ditches the fuku after Anne undoes the part of the spell that is messing with her head.
== [[Web Original]] ==
* ''[[Sailor Nothing]]'', as well as Sailors Truth and Beauty, wear embellished versions of their school uniforms when they're in sailor form.
* [[Vocaloid]] Rin Kagamine wears a sailor fuku top, though it's sleeveless. Her [[Flip-Flop of God|twin brother
* In the ''[[Whateley Universe]]'', Tennyo's school uniform is based on this design.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Katana, the (at first) girl Outsider in ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'', wore a sailor suit in Season 1. However, in Season 2, she ditched it for the classic costume of her comic book counterpart.
* [[The Prima Donna|Lily]] wears one in ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'', even though she actually is not a student.
