History Main / Joshikousei

-->'''Lexi:''' In the spring, I'll start managing LexCorp's Japanese branch here in Tokyo, set up shop at a fancy hotel somewhere, and spend my days living the life of a good little JK.

* The girls' uniform at Butei high in ''LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo''.

* The standard uniform in ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''.
* ''LightNovel/{{Higehiro}}'': Sayu seems to not have any clothes except her school uniform (until Yoshida buys her some), so she wears it all the time.

** Lisa Yadomaru wears one, but it's tight enough for her to BareYourMidriff.

** Completely averted by the [[CharacterTitle title character]] for all but one episode. She wears ''short shorts''. [[ShesGotLegs Everyone's got legs]] in this series.

[[quoteright:350:[[Anime/LuckyStar https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luckystar-jk_5860.jpg]]]]

** The title of the ''Anime/LuckyStar'' OVA is "[=JK=]".

* ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator''': Three of the possible options for the girls' uniforms at Akademi are seifuku (a red, white and blue one, a blue and red one, and a black, red and white one), while the other three have sweaters or blazers. 1980s Mode, which takes place in, well, [[ShapedLikeItself the 1980s]], locks the player into the black, red and white seifuku (which makes sense since seifuku were still popular back then).

* Of sixteen continuities, only seven ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' series feature female characters wearing Sailor Fuku - ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'', ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'', ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'', ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure'', ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'', and ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure''. Of course, technicalities run rampant here - for instance, ''Heartcatch'''s Sailor Fuku is only for the middle schoolers ''and'' during the winter season (during the summer, it's a skirt/blouse combo) and the high schoolers wear more of a Western uniform (it helps that they both go to the same school)- and let's not get into [[WholesomeCrossdresser Itsuki]].

%%* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka''

* ''Anime/MazingerZ'': Sayaka Yumi in the Creator/GoNagai manga (in the anime she didn't go to school due to her work at the Institute, thus she didn't wear any uniform). Ironically, given that she was created by [[Creator/GoNagai the man who introduced]] FanService in manga, she wears a modest-length skirt.
** In ''Manga/ShinMazingerZero'' she wore her sailor fuku constantly since her first appearance.
** In ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'', Sayaka wore a Western-styled uniform instead.
%%* ''Manga/{{Sketchbook}}''
%%* ''Manga/KOn''

* Each ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' girl attends a different school; Ichigo and Retasu both wear seifuku. In the [[FanonDisContinuity largely discredited]] sequel, all five originals and the new character attend the same school, chosen for its "cute uniforms".
* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' just puts the armor over the school uniforms the girls are already wearing. Averted in their final armor as there's no more hints of the said uniforms underneath the armor.
* ''Manga/LuckyStar''.

* For ''Manga/{{Amanchu}}'', Kozue Amano designed some very pretty school uniforms, with hints to the outfits worn by the undines in her other main work, ''{{Manga/ARIA}}''. The frilly petticoats really set them apart, although they might be a bit warm in summer. And they may also not be the best fit for more chubby students.
* In Gakuen Hetalia, ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'''s take on a HighSchoolAU, Seychelles and Hungary appear in Western-style uniforms. Belarus and Ukraine appear in concept art, and Taiwan appears in [[http://hetalia.wikia.com/wiki/File:Asiaclass_girluni.JPG this]] in the concept art, compared to the more Western uniforms the other girls have been seen wearing. In the regular canon, Norway and Sealand also sport Danshigakusei uniforms.

* In ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam La Verite'' episode 8, Konoe Tsurugi and Yashima Sanae both dress in sailor fuku costumes.
* In ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', Shigure is so tickled about visiting Tohru's school because he knows how the girls will react to him, he sings a little {{Joshikousei}} song.
%%* ''Manga/AChannel''
* Mato and Yomi's uniform in the ''Anime/BlackRockShooter'' OVA.
* The SSS uniform in ''Anime/AngelBeats''. Note that it is not the same as the one the [=NPCs=] wear.
* ''Manga/HighSchoolOfTheDead''. Granted, they do rip up and alter their uniform so they'll be more versatile, and later change out. And considering the zombie apocalypse is taking up their time, I doubt they'll be going to school anymore.
* In ''Manga/SoulEater'', the girls' [[spoiler: Spartoi]] uniforms usually are in the sailor style.

* The girls' uniform at Butei high in ''LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo''.
* The girls of ''Anime/HanasakuIroha'' have to wear a blue-and-white seifuku to school.
** Ohana's school in Tokyo has a thicker navy-colored seifuku.
* The standard uniform in ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''.
* Haruhi Fujioka's (from ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'') old uniform from middle school was a dark-colored seifuku.
* ''Anime/TheIdolmaster'' - Several of the idols are High Schoolers, tough their schools don't appear much.
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Asuka and Rei are in their uniforms when not in battle.
* The protagonist of ''Manga/WanderingSon'' brought one when he was in sixth grade. Later on in the manga, several side-characters begin going to a high school that uses SailorFuku.
%%* ''Manga/{{Saikano}}''
%%* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka''
* The high school uniforms in ''Anime/MaiHime'' just have the short skirt part; the middle school uniforms are the classic white-with-blue-trim ''seeraa'' style. Nao spices hers up with ZettaiRyouiki.
* Ami Nekota and Nanami Momozono from ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' have this as their school uniform.
* As has been mentioned ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' has the famous Sailor Senshi uniforms based on middle and high school Sailor Fuku. As well as these the girls have their actual school uniforms, from main characters alone we see the uniforms of at least 6 schools across the series,[[note]]Juuban Municipal Junior High School (Usagi and Ami's uniform), Makoto Kino's [[TransferStudentUniforms previous school's uniform]], T·A Academy for Girls (Rei's private school), Shiba Koen Junior High School (Minako's), Mugen Academy (Hotaru, Michiru and Haruka - as well as the Witches 5), Juuban Municipal High School (everyone but Rei ends up at this High School in the final season)[[/note]] with Rei getting double points as [[CatholicSchoolGirlsRule hers is a Catholic school]] kind (and boys actually give her more attention than the others when they recognize the uniform). Chibiusa also wears one to attend Juuban Municipal Primary School but it's not the school uniform.
* Of sixteen continuities, only seven ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' series feature female characters wearing Sailor Fuku - ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'', ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'', ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'', ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure'', ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode'', and ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure''. Of course, technicalities run rampant here - for instance, ''Heartcatch'''s Sailor Fuku is only for the middle schoolers ''and'' during the winter season (during the summer, it's a skirt/blouse combo) and the high schoolers wear more of a Western uniform (it helps that they both go to the same school)- and let's not get into [[WholesomeCrossdresser Itsuki]].
* While for the most part they evade this, continuities where a female member of the ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' cast goes to school, they end up wearing one of these. Interestingly, what ''type'' of uniform differs - the uniforms worn in the first movie, ''Tenchi Muyo in Love'', were black and white and very modest, yet whenever we see Sasami go to school, it's the usual red, white and blue and short skirted.
* ''Manga/InuYasha'': Kagome is [[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack rarely seen outside of her school uniform]]; in this case, hers is green and white with a full-coverage top and a miniskirt.
* ''Manga/MarchComesInLikeALion'': Hina has this look half the time while she is still in middle school. She loses it when she actually ''is'' in high school later on the series; the one she moves on up in, Rei's, has abandoned the look.
%%* ''Manga/{{Locodol}}''
* In ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'', the girls at Seijuu High School wear uniforms like this. TheProtagonist's mother, Nadeshiko, actually ''married'' Fujitaka [[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack while still in her school uniform]], according to her cousin Sonomi.
* Nonoka in ''Manga/MitsuboshiColors''.
* The Florian sisters both wear school uniforms before switching over to their Formula suits in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaReflection'' despite neither of them going to school (or even being from Earth, for that matter). Kyrie is wearing one because Iris told her it's the latest fashion, and Amitie's outfit is never explained. Made even more confusing by the fact that the move takes place on July 22, two days after the official start of Summer Vacation in Japan.
* In a manga adaptation of ''VideoGame/FateEXTRA'' -- Fate/EXTRA CCC Fox Tail -- we have Saber, who presents herself as a "JK Saber", complete with GyaruGirl styling, to boot. [[spoiler: Her True Name is Suzuka Gozen.]]

* One of Sakura's custom titles from ''StreetFighter IV'' is "High School Girl" in the English version and most likely ''Joshikōsei'' in Japanese.

* In ''PsychoSoldier'', Athena used to wear a blue ''seifuku'' as her fighting uniform. She does this again from KOF ''XI'' on -- and it's very cynically lampshaded by Kyo Kusanagi (who used to fight in a ''gakuran''), [[HypocriticalHumor of all people]]:

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' has only two examples of this, one fanon and one canon, despite its [[ImprobablyFemaleCast large cast of cute girls]]:

* Konoe Tsurugi and Yashima Sanae in ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam La Verite'' episode 8.

* ''Manga/HidamariSketch''

* ''Manga/{{Sketchbook}}''
* ''Manga/KOn''

* In Gakuen Hetalia, ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'''s take on a HighSchoolAU, Seychelles and Hungary appear in Western-style uniforms. Belarus and Ukraine appear in concept art, and Taiwan appears in [[http://hetalia.wikia.com/wiki/File:Asiaclass_girluni.JPG this]] in the concept art, compared to the more Western uniforms the other girls have been seen wearing. In the regular canon, Norway and Sealand also sport Danshigakusei uniforms.

Literally "a female high school student", but the term is invariably used to refer specifically to cute high school girls wearing SailorFuku, or sailor suit-styled uniforms. Many Japanese men refer to them under the nickname "JK" or "JC"[[note]]technically, "JC" actually refers to junior-high-school girls. JS is "Joshi Shougakusei" or "grade-school girl", "JC" is "Joshi Chuugakusei" or "middle-school girl" and "JK" is "Joshikousei" or "High-school girl"[[/note]]. Note that the term may be used interchangeably with 'seifuku', which means any general "school uniform", but is often used to describe the sailor outfits in particular. Although ''[[GratuitousEnglish seeraa]]fuku'' have been replaced by blazer-style uniforms in most high schools, the vast majority of anime girls still wear them.

* Of eight continuities, only three ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' series feature female characters wearing Sailor Fuku - ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'' and ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure''. Of course, technicalities run rampant here - for instance, ''Heartcatch'''s Sailor Fuku is only for the middle schoolers ''and'' during the winter season (during the summer, it's a skirt/blouse combo) and the high schoolers wear more of a Western uniform (it helps that they both go to the same school)- and let's not get into [[WholesomeCrossdresser Itsuki]].

* In ''ComicBook/SpyBoy'', [=SpyGirl=] spends most of her time in her sailor fuku school uniform (although it is possible that this is a costume from her TV show and not a real school uniform). However, given her age, she almost certainly a high school student as well as being an actress and a secret agent. Either way, [[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack this is her standard outfit]] till she transfers to Alex's school in the U.S. and starts wearing casual clothes to blend in.
