History Main / SailorFuku

* Madison, the President's daughter in an episode of ''TotallySpies'.

* [[ThePrimadonna Lily]] wears one in ''KappaMikey'', even though she actually is not a student.

* {{Vocaloid}} Rin Kagamine wears a sailor fuku top, though it's sleeveless. Her [[EpilepticTrees twin brother / mirror image]] Len wears a sleeved one.

Sailor Fuku refers to the characteristic [[http://fr.academic.ru/pictures/frwiki/83/Sailor-fuku_for_winter.jpg "sailor suit"]] schoolgirl uniforms worn in Japan. Sailor fuku uniforms are actually based on late Victorian/early 20th-century "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform rational dress]]" [[http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:Science_ofDress101Fig6.png girl's fashions]] (themselves based on European naval uniforms), but the prevalence of sailor-suited school girls in anime, manga, and other forms of Japanese media show how iconic the sailor fuku is in Japan. This is true despite many Japanese schools having switched to more Western-patterned uniforms.

** Similarly the VF-1A "Angel Bird" variant Valkyrie from the first episode of SuperDimensionFortressMacross. Though it never transforms out of fighter mode on-screen, the paint scheme becomes [[http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/variant-vf-1a-angel.htm oddly familiar]] in Battroid mode. One of the many such EasterEggs thrown into the first few episodes of the series.

* ''KamichamaKarin''

This is more a Japanese cultural trope than an Anime Trope but is found prominently in anime, especially on {{Joshikousei}}; compare the Western trope CatholicSchoolGirlsRule. However, given that many Japanese schools have abandoned the sailor uniform, the Catholic-school uniform has become a popular replacement -- popular not just among schools but also among viewers -- so the two are beginning to merge.

As an aside, in an inversion of Western cultural norms, wearing a really ''long'' skirt with her school uniform generally identifies a female character as a [[{{Delinquents}} delinquent]].

Sailor-suit uniforms may be a vehicle for FanService as well, as the uniform skirts are often depicted as being [[MagicSkirt unrealistically short]]. This alteration is so common that it is rarely commented on or questioned, though it may be off-putting to those who are not used anime or manga based media. Uniforms may be altered in other ways to [[CustomUniform distinguish certain characters]], [[CustomUniformOfSexy especially ones considered particularly beautiful]].

* {{Vocaloid}} Rin Kagamine wears one. Her [[EpilepticTrees twin brother / mirror image]] Len wears one too, but he wears shorts instead of the skirt.

* Kimura in ''AzumangaDaioh'' suggests sailor uniforms (which the girls don't normally wear) as a gym outfit.

* Special Detectives Moonlight and Venus in {{Kochikame}} are male variants of SailorFuku who make their role in fighting crime using old fighter jets and made appearances in every TV special.
