*** Luciano is even more confusing. If he wasn't wearing a male uniform, the long red plait and girly voice could fool anyone. It certainly doesn't help those who play the ''World Championship Series'' games that, in the 2011 title, Luciano's hairstyle and outfit are only available for female characters. |

* Epsilon from Urasawa's ''[[Pluto]]''. What makes it even more difficult is that he's based on the [[Astro Boy]] character Neptune (who is male), but shares the name and character traits (such as being a [[Technical Pacifist]]) of a female character from the same series. It doesn't help that the fan translation has referred to him as "she" once or twice... |

** Ash's Pikachu gets this ''a lot''. It's male, but wasn't confirmed this until the infamous Diamond & Pearl episode with [[BLAM Episode|Rayquaza and an evil Togepi]]. |

* Bedivere in the anime of ''[[Fate Stay Night]]''. The guy's just as feminine as Saber and has [[Mamiko Noto]]'s voice. What are we supposed to think? |

* Canute from ''[[Vinland Saga]]'' amongst both the fandom and in-canon is confused for a girl when he first appears. He's male though, most certainly. |

* Quite a few people mistake Fai from ''[[Tsubasa Chronicle]]'' and his "poofy Toma Seguchi coat" for a girl. Even though he is most definitely male, no matter how good he'd look in a dress. |

** Also Narancia from Part 5, but in reverse as thinking 'he' was a 'she'. His attire and Japanese game's voice actor doesn't help. |
