In the anime world, we’re not only introduced with traps (male characters who are mistaken as females), but there are also female characters who are often mistaken as males. Is this what they called as a reverse trap? Who are these people? Have a look!

1. Hange Zoe (Attack on Titan)

People once doubting about Zoe’s sex. In the manga, it’s not stated clearly, but in the anime, it is confirmed that Zoe is a female. This statement answers the longtime debate within the Attack on Titan fanbase.

As a female, Zoe looks so manly so it’s natural that we doubt her gender. If Armin is a male who looks like a female, then Zoe is the reverse of him. Zoe is a brave fighter who doesn’t fear death. Even so, she often shows her soft, feminine side to the Titan she examined.

2. Haruka Tenoh (Sailor Moon)

Because often goes out wearing a suit, Sailor Uranus is often considered as a male, even by Sailor Moon fans. On the contrary, when Haruka appears as a Sailor Uranus, she appears so feminine, it’s due to her relatively short hair makes her mistaken as a male by fans.

Haruka is known as the strongest and the most protective among other Sailors. Her feminine side shines with her concern and romantic side she shows. Oddly enough, on the original Sailor Moon, Haruka is told to dating Michiru Kaioh aka Sailor Neptune.

3. Masumi Sera (Detective Conan)

Since her first appearance in Detective Conan anime, Masumi is once considered as a pure boy due to her masculine look and her short hair. Even Conan, Ran, and Sanoko once mistook her as a male before Masumi stated that she is a female.

Not only from her appearance, but her attitude also looks so manly. This female-who-often-mistaken-as-a-male also mastered in martial arts. Her feminine shows only when she shows her affection to Conan, as well as her sincere nature.

4. Seishirou Tsugumi (Nisekoi)

When she firstly appeared in Nisekoi, many people thought that Seishirou as a male. It’s because this female who is mistaken as a male often wears a Japanese school blazer and pants. Not only that, but her job as a contract killer also makes her look more like a man.

Her caretaker since she was a little, Claude, mistook her as a boy. That’s why he grew up and taught like a boy. Because of this, the first person who sees Seishirou will think that she is a male. Funny enough, after knowing that Seishirou is a girl, Claude still addresses her as a male.

5. Yuu Kashima (Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun)

With her tall figure and short hair, people often mistook Yuu as a male. The girl with high charisma and distinct persona makes her a “prince” and dreamed by every girl at her school. Even though she has a boyish figure, Yuu still shows her feminine side.

Her sincerity can attract male students to like her. Funny enough, even though her sincerity makes her like a fool, but still, she is idolized by females and males altogether.

6. Makoto Kikuchi (iDOLM@STER)

Even though Makoto is a female, but she is described as a “prince” in iDOLM@STER. Since she was a little, she grew up like a boy by her father. This makes Makoto prefers to be a masculine, male idol instead of being a cute, female idol.

In the idol world, Makoto is known as a bishounen (beautiful boy). Makoto has a rather unique fantasy, where she wanted to be visited by a prince charming that will be her soulmate, even though she’s the one who played as the prince in the story. Makoto once beat Yakuza members and save a girl from sexual harassment.

7. Naoto Shirogane (Persona 4: The Animation)

Since she was a little, Naoto has an obsession to be a detective. She reads detective novels and creates high-tech gadgets that are usually worn by detectives to solve cases. Sadly, Naoto realizes that her dream job not for a female like her. That’s why Naoto dresses as a boy to become one.

When going undercover and meeting law enforcement, Naoto looks so masculine that shows by the way she dressed. No flaws are showing that Naoto is a girl. Due to her appearance, Naoto is called “Prince Detective”. Even so, Naoto is often shadowed by the reality that she is a female by birth. That’s why throughout the story, Naoto wants to return to her old self.
