One of the most slippery and ambiguous of terms in Japanese sexuality, otoko no ko sounds like the word for “boy” but is written with in hiragana and with a final character that usually means “daughter” or “girl”. In the simplest of definitions, it’s a type of cross-dressing where boys dress up as girls.
This doesn’t mean you are a shemale or a transexual in the western way of thinking, but it does bend the usual lines between gender, sexuality and appearance.
There are lots of clothes for cross-dressing cosplay, including stockings, bras and dresses, negligees and even wigs. Hell, you can even get a special AKB48 cross-dressers’ costume set!
Now Tama Toys has come up with these basic sets to help otoko no ko look their best.
The Otoko no Ko First Make-Up Set is a starter set including lipstick, foundation and a puff.
Meanwhile, the Otoko no Ko First Manicure Set is a three-item set of two nail manicures (in two colors, red and pink) and nail enamel remover, so you can take them off and go back to being “normal”.
