Sailor Fuku / Video Games

Go To

As they are in Anime and Manga series, Sailor Fukus are also very common in Video Games.


  • The Epic Battle Fantasy series features a sailor fuku as a piece of equipment available in the fourth and fifth games, with its description in EBF5 sarcastically calling it "An original outfit which has never appeared in video games or anime". Anna and Natalie give distinctly differing views on it as well in EBF5:
    Anna: Ooooh, I'm so cute in this outfit, don'tcha think? (I bet Natalie can't even fit into it!)
    Natalie: Have we collected every type of fetish outfit yet? I bet you guys are loving this, you perverts.
  • Street Fighter:
  • Touken Ranbu: Worn by men as part of the dress code of swords of the Yukihira school – body-hugging black suits with sailor collars. Jizō wears the top with shorts, but his brother Kokin wears it with a pleated, tapered and slit skirt over Modesty Shorts.
  • Guilty Gear:
    • The girls from the Jellyfish Pirates wear customized versions of this as their uniform.
    • Ramlethal Valentine wears stripperiffic clothes in battle, but she gets a green fuku in the Xrd story mode after she's been captured by the heroes. Still sans shoes, though. She keeps it as her everyday-wear once she joins "the team" in -REVELATOR-, and in -REVELATOR- 2 her "sister" Elphelt gets a red fuku after she's rescued as well.
  • Rival Schools:
    • Hinata Wakaba wears a Western-style uniform, while Kyousuke Kagami has a white gakuran.
    • Gedo High School is an all-boys school whose students, led by Daigo Kazama, wear gakuran. Daigo' sister Akira had to disguise herself in a biker uniform complete with helmet to look for him when he was abducted.
    • Subverted by the Seijyun High School in the second game, Project Justice. Seijyun is an all-girls school whose students wear Western uniforms, which Akira wears in the Story Mode, but transfer student Yurika Kirishima (who is actually The Mole) wears a different uniform inspired by the serafuku. Even more: there's an all-girls delinquent gang led by the third member of the trio, Aoi "Zaki" Himezaki, and they all wear dark grey serafuku with long skirts.
  • Athena Asamiya from Psycho Soldier. Her King of Fighters incarnation was supposed to fight in a sailor fuku but the creators thought that it would be "too risqué", and limited the outfit to her pre-fight animations. Years later, she actually fought in such an outfit in SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium; and finally, in The King of Fighters XI, XII and XIII she actually fights using a school uniform... as late as it may seem. She claims in-story that it's a "throw back to her origins".
    • Rather cynically lampshaded by Kyo Kusanagi (who was famous for fighting in a modified gakuran) in XIII:
      Kyo: No one wears sailor uniforms at your age anymore!
    • In the semi-canon continuity "The King of Fighters: KYO", many scenes take place in the Osakan highschool that Kyo, his girlfriend Yuki, Shingo and Athena attend. Said school has gakuran and serafuku as uniforms, the latter somewhat realistically depicted in the manga as having long skirts below the knees; however, said skirts tend to be shorter in the KOF: KYO games.
    • Miss X wears one. It's Iori Yagami wearing it, and nobody buys it.
  • Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has Yuriko Omega, a young woman with Girlish Pigtails, Psychic Powers, and questionable mental health who fights for the Empire of the Rising Sun in a schoolgirl uniform.
  • Kasumi and Ayane from Dead or Alive have, in some games, alternate outfits that are school outfits, all for Fanservice purposes, of course, but also note that they're supposed to be that young.
  • The Night Way Home: Rina wears a Japanese schoolgirl outfit.
  • Saki from the Onechanbara series has a sailor suit as her default outfit.
  • Tekken:
    • Ling Xiaoyu and her Palette Swap Miharu Hirano have sailor fuku costumes in some games.
    • In the games proper, Xiaoyu and Jin Kazama's highschool has blazer uniforms for both genders, though the girls' collars resemble fuku ones. Both of them can wear their uniforms into the ring if the player wishes so
  • Downplayed in the Touhou Project series. Despite having an Improbably Female Cast with hundreds of characters, the only actual schoolgirl in the cast doesn't wear a sailor fuku as her uniform. Only two characters have ever been depicted wearing one, and one of them was actually a sailor (and even then, it's difficult to tell if she's wearing shorts or a skirt).
  • In Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale, 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 The World Ends with You, a sailor uniform and gakuran can be found as special clothes.
  • In Valis, Yuko Ahso wears a sailor fuku for the first few stages before getting her Chainmail Bikini. The blue skirt matches the color of her hair. It returns in Valis II as one of her selectable outfits (she can switch it for a blazer in the Japanese computer version).
  • Persona features high school-aged youngsters as the protagonists, so this trope commonly shows up:
    • In the original Persona, the male students of St. Hermelin High wear grey gakuran. The female students avert this, although Yukino Mayuzumi evokes the sukeban trend a little by wearing a skirt that's far longer than the uniform's standard.
    • Persona 2: A variation of the sailor fuku (with a square-shaped collar) serves as the girls' uniform for Seven Sisters High, although the same school has a tie-and-jacket combo for boys. Kasugayama High's male uniform, meanwhile, is a light blue gakuran.
    • In Persona 4, old-fashioned and rural Yasogami High has both sailor fuku for girls and gakuran for boys The winter uniforms in particular are rather unique in their colors and look, both being black with visible white stitching.
    • Persona 5: While none of the schools shown (Shujin, Kosei, and the unnamed school Goro Akechi attends) have sailor fuku or gakuran as their standard uniform, Yusuke Kitagawa, for reasons unexplained either in-game or out of it, wears a white gakuran with a fleur-de-lis on it. However, the player can evoke this through DLC, allows the party members to wear the uniforms of St. Hermelin, Seven Sisters, Kasugayama, and Yasogami.
  • You can make your characters wear certain outfits in Arc Rise Fantasia. One set is supposed to be a series of military academy uniforms, except for Ryfia's, which is a sailor fuku. Even Cecille, the Token Mini-Moe, gets a smaller version of the uniform and not a fuku. The characters comment on this.
  • Akatsuki Blitzkampf has a subversion. At some point, a young man in a shadowed environment is seen dressed in what seems to be a gakuran... but since this scene takes place in Murakumo aka the Big Bad's prologue, it's rather obvious in-context that this "young man" is not a junior high/highschool student but an adult who's wearing an actual military uniform.note . In the game proper, no one wears school clothes to fight.
  • In the Fushigi Yuugi videogame Suzaku Ibun, Miaka and Yui's Expies Madoka and Misaki wear uniforms that at first sight look pretty Western, but have collars that look almost exactly like those seen in sailor fukus.
  • The Tokyo event character Harumi from Subway Surfers wears a sailor fuku on default. Her more casual outfit is a catgirl-esque lolita costume.
  • Two NPCs forming a Tomboy and Girly Girl duo from Undertale sport one. The fire girl one became an Ensemble Dark Horse, and is often associated with another fiery Ensemble Dark Horse named Grillby.
  • The default school uniform for female students in Yandere Simulator. Yan-chan, a female Sempai, Info-chan and non-rival students wear theirs normally, but the highschool-aged rivals have customized ones: Osana, Amai, Kizana and Megami wear Zettai Ryouiki (and Megami adds long gloves), Ouka has black tights, Osoro adds a Japanese Delinquents-like coat, etc.
  • Yo-kai Watch:
    • Foiletta is a youkai who wears a sailor fuku. She is the older, evolved form of Toiletta (who looks like an elementary schooler). Foiletta has stringy, long hair and a blue tint under her eyes. Both Toiletta and Foiletta are based off a Japanese Urban Legend "Hanako-san", which is similar to Bloody Mary.
    • Sailornyan is a female version of Series Mascot Jibanyan. She's pink and wears a sailor suit, however in this case it's an actual sailor suit uniform as she works with sailors. She is a Shout-Out to Sailor Moon as well.
  • Pokémon usually averts this uniform. Despite having several trainer classes who are schoolgirls (Lasses and Teammates being the main two), each region has basically every uniform but a sailor fuku. It took until Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 for a sailor fuku to appear, and even then it's yellow instead of the normal white or black. Ironically, Unova is based on America, where sailor fuku-style uniforms are pretty much nonexistent in modern times.
  • In Tokyo Jungle, sailor uniforms can be equipped to characters, meaning you can play as anything from a dog to a Deinonychus wearing a school girl uniform.
  • Love Nikki - Dress Up Queen:
    • Nikki's friend Timi first appears wearing a white and blue fuku with black socks. She later shows up in a Western uniform.
    • The Store has a fuku blouse that the player can purchase for Nikki. In fact, it will come handy at some point: the Chapter 5 sidequest featuring Royce and Neva has a stage centered on navy-like stuff, so the player must assemble a whole fuku outfit (including said blouse) and have Nikki model it against Neva's Royce-designed own.
  • The school uniform in Ensemble Stars! is not a sailor uniform, but the unit Ra*bits wears costumes that tend to be based around a male version, taking the distinctive white top with large flappy collar and bow but pairing it with knee-length shorts or pants. Naturally, the intent is to give off a cute, youthful look, since sailor suits in general have long been associated with youthfulness and cuteness.
  • Medabots: The Sailor-Multi Medabot's design is clearly built around this trope.
  • Sailor Zombie: All the members of AKB48 wear these, zombified or not.
  • The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV: Duvalie wears this as her DLC costume.
  • Raffina from Puyo Puyo has the silhouette of one. Fever 2 is a very textbook example, while her current ensemble from 20th Anniversary onward has a more stylized take on it. Her orange cardigan has the sailor's collar and tie, with the Puyo Puyo Tetris version adding cuffs to it.
  • Fuga: Melodies of Steel: Hanna wears one as her DLC costume if you purchase the School Uniform set DLC.
  • Neptunia: Nepgear wears a dress variant of this as her default outfit in most games. In addition to that, she, Uni, Dengekikko and Famitsu also wear them in MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies, due to the setting being a High School AU.
  • sora: From stage 2 onwards, after deserting from the military, the titular protagonist swaps her uniform out for a noticeably sci-fi-ish variant of this as her default outfit, featuring what appears to be red Tron Lines on the collar and a dongle in place of a tie that, judging by the art for the Shield Counter card in 100% Orange Juice!, appears to be some sort of shield regulator.
  • Speaking of 100% Orange Juice!, the School Crashers event has the School Uniform cosmetic as a reward for clearing the event. Marc (this includes her Pilot version), Aru, Alte, Ceoreparque, Miusaki, Yuuki and Alicianrone get the standard serafuku kind (though in Alicia's case, hers is black as opposed to white), while Peat, Mira and the Lone Rider get gakuran variants, with Rider's making him resemble a delinquent and Mira's carrying over their Scarf of Asskicking. Islay meanwhile gets a sukeban variant while Arnelle gets a bancho one.
  • In QP Shooting - Dangerous!!, QP wears a white version of this as her main outfit, as does her fellow classmate Syura. Kyousuke is also shown to wear a gakuran... most of the time.
  • In Wadanohara, some of the title character's outfits borrow elements of the Sailor Fuku, fitting her status as a sea witch and her overall nautical motif.
