Few things are more fun than an anime character who is totally flamboyant. These fabulous boys and men aren't afraid to embrace their feminine side - but many of them do so with the utmost drama. From confident, dramatic folks with attitude to drag queens in high heels and fishnets, flamboyant anime characters are awesome. Not every character rocking a flamboyant aesthetic is gay, although many of them are. Characters like Victor Nikiforov of Yuri!!! on ICE clearly display their love for other men, but others, like Pegasus J. Crawford from Yu-Gi-Oh!, actually fall in love with women. Others, like Yuga Aoyama from My Hero Academia, don't send a clear message about what their orientation might be. It just goes to show that gender presentation isn't the same thing as orientation, and that flamboyant guys can be straight, bi, gay, or anything else. Also, while some of these characters do identify to some degree with femininity, none of them are confirmed to be trans women. Rather, they're men who refuse to be limited by society's expectations of what men should be. Which ones do you think have the most style?
