Otokonoko
In contemporary Japanese culture, otokonoko (男の娘 ''Otoko no ko'', "male daughter"), or ''otoko no musume'', refers to men who cross-dress as women.
The term originated in Japanese manga and Internet culture in the 2000s, but the concept reflects a broad range of earlier traditions and examples of male drag-wearing in Japan, such as ''onnagata'' in kabuki theater, and in the career of cross-dressing entertainer Akihiro Miwa. ''Otokonoko'' is a play on the word 男の子, also pronounced ''otokonoko'' and meaning "boy". Associated with ''otaku'' culture, it has given rise to dedicated maid cafés, fashion stores and a range of popular media. It is often combined with the cosplay of female fictional characters by men.〔
The concept of ''otokonoko'' does not correspond to a type of sexual identity or gender identity. ''Otokonoko'' may be of any sexual orientation.〔〔
By extension, ''otokonoko'' also refers to a genre of media and fiction about cross-dressing men, aimed at a male audience. It is part of the spectrum of ''shōnen'' entertainment (targeted at young boys) and ''seinen'' entertainment (targeted at young men), and often contains erotic or romantic elements. ''Otokonoko'' characters have also begun to appear in mainstream Japanese popular entertainment such as manga, anime and video games.〔
