Today’s anime pride character is Mizuho Miyanokouji from the anime Otoboku Maidens Are Falling For Me. Mizuho attends an all girls school after his grandfathers wishes. However, in order to attend this school Mizuho must crossdress and be accepted as a girl. Because Mizuho already has a feminine appearance, he is easily accepted by the other girls at the school.

Today’s anime pride character of the day is Nathan Seymour aka Fire Emblem from the anime series Tiger and Bunny. Fire Emblem is a rather flamboyant, effeminate male how enjoys flirting with other male heroes in the series. I personally think of Nathan Seymour as a cross between Ru Paul and Dennis Rodman. Here is a fandom page describing more about Nathan Seymour: https://tigerbunny.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_Emblem. Also, here’s a youtube video that shows a backstory of Nathan’s past life: https://youtu.be/GhR_cgPQz78

Aoi Futaba is a male officer who dresses and acts like a female in the Bokuto Police Station. Aoi Futaba originally was supposed to go undercover as a female to catch a serial rapist.

Today’s anime pride character is Hideyoshi Kinoshita from the anime and manga series Baka and Test. Because Hideyoshi has a very gender neutral appearance, some classmates confuse him as a girl. Also, Hideyoshi Kinoshita has an identical twin sister and it is easy to confuse them both. Here is Yuuko Hideyoshi (left) with Kinoshita Hideyoshi (right). Both are identical twins and can be said to be clones of each other. Here is a fandom link about this very gender androgynous character: https://bakatotest.fandom.com/wiki/Hideyoshi_Kinoshita.

Today’s Anime pride characters of the day are Sailor Uranus (left) and Sailor Neptune (right) from the popular magical girl anime and manga series Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon (or simply Sailormoon). What is interesting about this two characters is how they were protrayed in the english dubbed version of Sailormoon back when Sailormoon was being aired on the SyFy channel years ago. In the Syfy version of Sailormoon, Sailor Uranus and Neptune was protrayed as cousins. However, even though they were “cousins”, Uranus and Neptune were rather VERY close cousins.
