* 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.

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. | ||
* Le Chevalier d'Eon from the ''Fate'' series is [[genderfluid]], and accepts being seen as either a man or a woman by the player. Both he/him and she/her [[pronouns]] are used interchangeably, and their "Self Suggestion" skill allows them to alter both their body and aura between being masculine and feminine. The historical figure they are based on was also [[intersex]]. | * Le Chevalier d'Eon from the ''Fate'' series is [[genderfluid]], and accepts being seen as either a man or a woman by the player.
