"Josou Danshi" (JP), also sometimes known as "Josou Shounen" (JP), is a term for a male character who cross-dresses in women's clothing while still retaining some aspects of being a man. Unlike otokonoko, they do not look completely like women and still have traits of being "boyish".
This is not to be confused with:
- Otokonoko - A young male character who cross-dresses in girl's clothing and looks only like a cute young girl, with no trace of being a boy able to be seen. Because they also have a girly face, they are unrecognizable as a male from the surface.
