Otokonoko (男の娘, "male daughter" or "male girl", also pronounced as otoko no musume) is a Japanese term for men who adopt a culturally feminine gender expression,^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] usually through cross-dressing or crossplay. Otokonoko is a play on the word 男の子 ("boy", from male + child), which is also pronounced otokonoko; in the slang term, the kanji for child (子) is substituted with daughter/girl (娘).

The term originated in Japanese manga^[4] and Internet culture in the 2000s, but the concept reflects a broad range of earlier traditions and examples of male cross dressing in Japan, such as onnagata in kabuki theater and in the career of cross-dressing entertainer Akihiro Miwa. Its popularity increased around 2009, with the rise of dedicated maid cafés, fashion stores, cosmetic products, and a range of popular media in the otaku culture.^[2]^[5] It is often combined with the cosplay of female fictional characters by men (crossplay).^[1]

By extension, otokonoko is also a genre of media and fiction about feminine looking / dressing men, aimed at a male audience. It is part of the spectrum of shōnen entertainment (targeted at young boys) and seinen entertainment (targeted at young men) and often contains erotic or romantic elements. Otokonoko characters have also begun to appear in mainstream Japanese popular entertainment such as manga, anime, and video games.^[1]
