These ladies look pretty hot, right?
Well, actually these are otoko no ko (男の娘), crossdressing males, photographed by Naoko Tachibana.
They feature nine crossdressers from the cafe and bar New Type, which opened in Akihabara in May 2009. Tachibana has put these together as a photo book, “Yuri Danshi“, 10,000 copies of which have been printed — that’s quite a demand!
We think you’ll agree that these ladies look lovely.
Otoko no ko culture — a mixture of cosplay and crossdressing — is huge in Japan, with its own magazines, shopping sites for clothes, bars and, of course, adult toys, from smell lotions to full-on shemale onaholes.
The word in Japanese is a play on “boy” (otoko no ko) but here the “ko” is written with the character for musume, which can mean “daughter” or “young girl”.
