Saitama police arrested Kumagayaken tax office civil servant Sadayuki Iida on February 13th.
The 51-year-old official snuck into a women's changing room at a public bath spa at 8:30 pm, though to be fair to him -- he did it in style. To be precise, he did it in drag.
Iida is denying any wrongdoing, saying he was just trying to use the toilet.
Iida is about 175cm and a large guy. However, he seemed to think a black coat, long wig and black skirt would be enough to transform him into a woman. He was also apparently wearing make-up.
He wandered around the changing room, where ...
Be careful. With some prudent cropping, it's easy to be deceived.
We've all be in one of those sketchy clubs and thought that girl in the corner looked hot, only to be disappointed when our hands went for a fondle in the taxi on the way to a hotel. We've all been there, right?
Anyway, Japanese cross-dressers (josou) have been demonstrating just how hot they look with some careful framing. A photo from the mouth down can be surprisingly deceptive!
See what we ...
Happy Christmas to all our readers and visitors!
Christmas in Japan is a time for three things: strawberry shortcake, KFC chicken, and sex. Especially Christmas Eve is seen as the most romantic time of the year, the night when you are meant to take a special someone out on an expensive date.
Not everyone has a girlfriend so this time of year can be a bit lonely for singletons.
But cross-dressing cosplayer Nemunemunnn decided to take the matter into "his" own hands. He cross-dressed as his own cute "girlfriend".
The results are impressive. Would you know the ...
We suppose it was inevitable that Japan's most famous cross-dressing elderly gent would get his own mobile phone game app at some point, and so it has proved the case with Sailor Fuku Ojisan (Sailor Uniform Uncle). Also known as Hideaki Kobayashi, this gentile cross-dresser has been a regular spot all over Tokyo the past couple of years (even we saw him by chance on a random train once).
He has attracted fans (and also the police), so of course some people want to monetize this celebrity.
Sailor Fuku Ojisan now has an official game.
"Sailor Fuku Ojisan: Lucky Sorting Game" was ...
We're on a bit of a cross-dressing roll at the moment. After blogging about a major new josou club and bar in Osaka we now want to introduce a new photography exhibition at Ginza's Vanilla Gallery.
It features portraits Tachibana has made over six years of newhalf (shemales) and josou cross-dressers.
The exhibition is called "Traces of josou and the Theory of Happiness". Tachibana runs a studio that specializes in portrait photography for cross-dressers and shemales, as well as hair and make-up services. She has worked with top idols to old-timers in their seventies -- more than ...
Onna no ko Kurabu (Girls' Club) is where the action's at if you want an easy way to sample Japanese cross-dressing subculture.
Man or woman, you can go to the club -- currently one in Tokyo, with a new club in Osaka's down-and-dirty Dotonbori district from December 1st -- to try on girls' clothing. The club keeps a wardrobe of rental clothes and wigs for joso (or josou) cosplay, dressing up as a girl.
As we know, otoko no ko cross-dressing cosplay is big in Japan, though it is a hard-to-define point somewhere between "transvestite" and "cosplayer". Joso is the more conventional ...
We already know that there's a strong subculture in Japan for cross-dressing -- and one which doesn't fit easily into any western ideas of gay culture -- but here's something new.
Metrosexual Japanese men worried about their nipples showing through t-shirts may be turning to these nipple stickers to cover up.
There are several products out there on the market, it seems. The "Nipple Shields" by Tex Mex are marketed as "fashion help for men", especially young high-fliers in the business world who don't want their muscular chests with pokey nipples showing through their tight white ...
It's high time we talked about otoko no ko (also written otokonoko) (男の娘). The name of course is a play on the word for "boy" but whose characters mean "male daughter". As we know, the word for daughter (musume) is also employed a lot to mean "cute young girl", and that's the nuance here.
The phrase has been used since the 2000's. A otoko no ko is a cross-dressing cosplayer, who dresses as a girl for certain occasions. It's an unusual combination of cosplay culture, sexuality, and (in a way) otaku culture (it's quite geeky as subcultures go). It took the world of men dressed as ...
Be careful if something seems too good to be true. It usually is.
If you are on the street and are enticed by a woman, remember -- only fools rush in.
But perhaps we shouldn't be surprised. The "woman" in question certainly didn't look like this.
No, instead Kyoto police have arrested self-employed Naohiro Nagaoka (72) after he dressed up as a woman and repeatedly called out to men passing on the street.
Is cross-dressing now a crime? Is Kyoto becoming Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward?
No, Naohiro Nagaoka wasn't just indulging in his drag queen proclivities. He was trying to rob men ...
About two years ago we blogged about the brilliant Vagina Panties, a "belt" you could wear to give yourself the female genitalia you otherwise lack.
Now the ever busy Japanese sex toys store Kanojo Toys have released the Vicky Panties, a similar but, in our opinion, even better looking version.
The Japanese adult industry is experiencing a real boom right now in mainstream cross-dressing accessories. Part of this is down to the popularity of otoko no ko, a type of cross-dressing as cosplay, though in general transgender is more tolerated. It even inspires photo books.
Major sex ...
