History Main / SailorFuku

* Gogo Yubari from KillBill wears a sailor fuku as explicit FetishFuel. Unfortunately, ''her'' fetish is [[AxeCrazy gutting men who think she's trying to appeal to their fetish.]]

* In ''ElGoonishShive'', [[RaisedByWolves Grace]] pictures herself and most other female characters wearing these in her school-related DreamSequence. This is probably meant to imply that her impression of school up until that point came almost entirely [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2007-05-23 from watching anime.]] Judging by the design, it's specifically ''AzumangaDaioh''.

* Parodied along with just about every other anime trope, in ''MartianSuccessorNadesico''. impractically short-skirted sailor fuku feature prominently of the titular space battleship's "Early 21st Century High School" virtual reality entertainment program and one character trying to seduce another hacks the program to make her skirt even shorter.
* In ''MilleniumActress'' Chiyoko is wears a 1930s-era sailor fuku in the scenes depicting her childhood: unlike modern FetishFuel versions it's a genuine uniform made out of heavy wool for durability and cut with "room to grow" bagginess

* Kagome in ''InuYasha'' wears a school uniform while hunting monsters in the ''[[JidaiGeki sengoku]]'' period, centuries before they were invented. She's originally from the present day though.

** Haruhi, the local wholesome female cross-dresser, infiltrates an elementary school with a 17-year old male classmate named Honey. Honey dresses in his old elementary school uniform while Haruhi puts on a middle schoolers sailor fuku. The rest of the club admits that the two stick out anyway so the disguises are useless: they just wanted to see Haruhi in a schoolgirls uniform.

* ''WesternAnimation/NapoleonDynamite'': In the second episode, a scantron dating machine pairs Napoleon up with a Japanese foreign exchange student named Tokiko, who's sporting Sailor Fuku and every other Japanese schoolgirl-related trope you can imagine.

* ''{{AIR}}'' is not set in a high school, but all the girls wear their uniforms almost all the time.

* ''GuiltyGear'': The Jellyfish Pirates wears this as their uniform.

* Arguably subverted in the {{Touhou}} series. Despite having an ImprobablyFemaleCast with [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters hundreds of characters]]:

* In 'Recettear', the strongest and most expensive clothes that can be purchased that playable (though the [=NPCs=] can be sold it as well, obviously) female characters can equip and be sold is a sailor uniform, whose description reads "Confers great power upon women of any age group." Though if male characters come in asking for clothes, you can sell them this also (though the playable male characters cannot equip it, which would make it funnier).

* In ''VideoGame/{{Valis}}'', Yuko Ahso wears a sailor fuku for the first few stages before going {{Stripperiffic}}. It returns in ''Valis II'' as one of her selectable outfits.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Valis}} II'', this is one of Yuko Ahso's selectable outfits.

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.

[[AC:{{Anime}} & {{Manga}}]]

* ''Anime/CorrectorYui''
* ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'':

* ''FullMetalPanic! Fumoffu'' has a delightful sequence where Kaname Chidori, normally dressed in the school's fairly unusual outfit, agrees to become "manager" for a rugby club: and so puts on a more traditional sailor fuku (and carries a kettle).
** In an episode of ''FullMetalPanic! Fumoffu'', Commander Mardukas has just threatened Sousuke with terrible retribution should he do anything indecent to Tessa while she is staying in Japan, when the girl in question enters wearing a Jindai High School uniform. Cue open-mouthed response from both males, until Tessa [[InnocentFanserviceGirl asks what they're staring at]].
* Hitomi from ''{{Vision of Escaflowne}}'' wears her school uniform for most of the series, even though she's been transported to another world where Japanese high schools are not present. In one episode, she's given a local dress to wear, only to rip off the skirt so that she can run freely later. Interestingly, the dress rips completely cleanly and evenly, leaving her with an outfit that looks amazingly similar to her school uniform.

* The all-girl high school attended by Akira in ''AoiHana'', Fujigaya, has relatively realistically depicted sailor fukus, with skirts way below the knee.

* Haruka Fukushima, author of the shojo manga ''Manga/CherryJuice'', admits in the omake that one of the main reasons she decided to make a high-school romance series was so that she would have the opportunity to draw SailorFuku.
* 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.
* The high school attended by the lead character of ''{{Bleach}}'' does not employ this type of uniform and thus it was not seen for most of the early manga. This makes the appearance of Lisa Yadomaru, a woman likely in her twenties, wearing the fuku a little jarring.

* Nitori from ''WanderingSon'' owns one despite his school not using them. When the TrueCompanions split off into various high schools Sasa, Momoko, and Chi got put in schools that have SailorFuku. Nitori, Mako, Seya, and Maho go to schools that have the contemporary "blazer" style uniforms, while Takatsuki and and Chiba got into schools that are uniform-free. Nevertheless, Nitori got a new girls uniform.

* Surprsingly, ''StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. In the episode "Court Martial", a young girl is wearing a futuristic sailor fuku. Humorusly enough, it looks like something Sailor Mercury would wear.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]

* In ''TwoBrothers'' Raoul, a French boy in [[TheFrenchColonialEmpire 1920's French Indochina]], wears the Western sailor suit fashion that became the basis for the use of sailor suits as school uniforms in Japan.

* Sakura and Karin from the ''StreetFighter'' series both dress in sailor fuku. It's so much a part of who Sakura is, that she wears it as her fight uniform in ''Street Fighter IV'', despite WordOfGod stating that she's over 20 now.

** only two of the characters have been officially depicted wearing a sailor outfit,

* Nitori from ''WanderingSon'' owns one despite his school not using them.
** When the {{Nakama}} split off into various high schools Sasa, Momoko, and Chi got put in schools that have SailorFuku. Nitori, Mako, Seya, and Maho go to schools that have the contemporary "blazer" style uniforms, while Takatsuki and and Chiba got into schools that are uniform-free.

* ''KamenRider'':
** ''KamenRiderKabuto'': Tendou Juka, Tendou Souji's little sister, is a prime example. Some consider her an example of {{Lolicon}}.

* The live-action adaptation of ''[[BloodTheLastVampire Blood: The Last Vampire]]'' has finally brought this fetish to the silver screen.

* The Jellyfish Pirates in GuiltyGear wears this as their uniform.

* In the standard branch of the ''TokimekiMemorial'' series (aka ''Tokimeki Memorial 1'' to ''4''), actually only the first game has a Sailor Fuku as the High School's uniform, the other three using Blazers. When ''Tokimeki Memorial 4'', set in the same High School (Kirameki High) as the first game 15 years later, was announced, some fans cried TheyChangedItNowItSucks regarding the change of the school's iconic Sailor Fuku to a Balzer-type uniform : the complain fortunately dried down quickly, thanks to {{Konami}}'s clever move of making Kirameki High change gradually its uniform, so that the two [[SenpaiKohai senpai]] characters keep the Sailor Fuku as the last class wearing it, while the main protagonist and the characters in the same year as him and below christen the new Blazer.

* The sailor uniforms in ''{{Saki}}'' appear to have quite some variation in skirt lengths, ranging from way below the knees to ultra-short, permanently flashy miniskirts--the latter usually reserved for younger characters, sometimes combined with {{zettai ryouiki}}.

* Katana, the (at first) girl Outsider in ''BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', wore a sailor suit in Season 1. However, in Season 2, she ditched it for the classic costume of her comic book counterpart.

* Arguably subverted in the {{Touhou}} series. Despite the cast being a PinkBishoujoGhetto with [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters hundreds of characters]]:

* In ''TwoBrothers'' Raoul wears the Western sailor suit fashion that became the basis for the use of sailor suits as school uniforms in Japan.

* ''TwoBrothers'' depicts a French boy in [[TheFrenchColonialEmpire 1920's French Indochina]] wearing a period sailor suit for boys. It is this style that inspired the Japanese to adopt sailor suits for their children.

* ''Almost Angels'' depicts the RealLife sailor suit uniform of the Vienna Boys Choir. Needless to say there are several variations from the Japanese school girl model, most notably the use of trousers instead of skirts.

* ''TwoBrothers'' depicts a French boy in the 1920's [[FrenchColonialEmpire French Indochina) wearing a period sailor suit for boys. It is this style that inspired the Japanese to adopt sailor suits for their children.
