Onnagata

What is Onnagata?

1.

An onnagata is a Japanese term for a female impersonator.

Onnagata also refers to male kabuki characters who played female parts.

From the medieval period to the 19th century in Japan, various men practised shudo, which is age-structured homosexuality. Because of this, many onnagata moonlighted as prostitutes.

Today, shonen-ai and yaoi are existing types of male homosexuality.

Nanshoku, or "the love of the samurai", may center on a relationship between a samurai and an onnagata.
