* Yuta "Yū" Asuka (飛鳥 悠, Asuka Yūta) from the Tokyo Broadcasting System anime series ''Stars Align'' had a short arc that touched on how they were [[questioning]] their gender identity. During this, they tell Maki that they want to be referred to with [[gender neutral language]] and that they think they are [[X-gender]] but don't want to be categorized. | * Yuta "Yū" Asuka (飛鳥 悠, Asuka Yūta) from the Tokyo Broadcasting System anime series ''Stars Align'' had a short arc that touched on how they were [[questioning]] their gender identity.

* Astolfo from the ''Fate'' series uses ''both'' he/him and they/them pronouns, but presents in a very feminine manner. In their profile in ''Grand Order'' they list their gender as "le secret" per their request, and they use both male and female terms to describe themself, calling themself both a "cute boy", and a "maiden" in different scenes. Quotes from their bio include "Instead of making judgments based off of merits, Astolfo makes all choices based off if it feels good or not." and "Gender means nothing in the face of Astolfo's cuteness! But there's really no way Astolfo could be a girl...". Despite this many fans treat Astolfo as either a feminine man or a trans woman. Their pronouns also vary depending on the translation, with ''Grand Order''<nowiki/>'s English localization using they/them and ''Apocrypha's'' English dub using he/him. | * Astolfo from the ''Fate'' series uses ''both'' he/him and they/them pronouns, but presents in a very feminine manner.

*Izana Shinatose in ''Knights of Sidonia'' is neither female nor male, but has the ability to eventually choose a sex if they fall in love. Izana's uniform is different from that of her classmates, reflecting their lack of gender (while females have skirts and males wear pants, Izana wears shorts). This gender is given the name of "middlesex" in the second season. Izana's body does eventually become female after falling in love with Nagate, against their conscious wishes and to their dismay. | *Izana Shinatose in ''Knights of Sidonia'' is neither female nor male, but has the ability to eventually choose a sex if they fall in love.
