Go to page. First Prev 15 of 27 Go to page. Haku does not cross dress. This is a big misconception among most non-Japanese readers. A kimono looks much like a kimono, and he just happens to look girly in his. But he's even wearing short pants under it, which chicks don't do. But as people tend to stick with the first impression they get, I'm probably wasting my breath. I'll go now.

Believe It! Ran said:. Yes he did my friend. If you think he looks like a girl, you're not alone, because Naruto thought so, too. But he's a boy. Just look up the issue of Shonenjump magazine and read the interview, and stop being in denial. So you like Haku and he is a boy, big deal, even if he is a boy he is still likeable and maybe even sexy. I have no shame of saying this although I am also a man.

So you better start Believing it!!! Because he's a boy and he's not happy about it. I didn't realize cross dressers specifically meant that they were gay You know, for a "girl," Haku sure is dressing pretty slutty Look how open the kimono is and not even a trace of a bra, undershirt, or anything. The kimono's loose, too, and "she's" bending over to wake up Naruto?

Someone is sure asking to flash someone else No bashfulness there on "her" part, too. IF he was girl. OKAY, we are not using scenes from the anime because it is inconsistent with the manga. I am fine with using manga images.

Believe it! Cel3stial Master Chief. Suzumebachi ReSpekt. Just because you cannot see any undergarment designed to support or conceal breasts does not mean that she was not wearing one. Ino, for example, wears bandages for pants. Haku may have been wearing the same kind of bandages over her shoulders and down in a V shape that are tied in with bandages around the abdomen both in the front and back. A few things to point out here.

It is also possible that Haku simply has not developed breasts. This is actually a fact among girls who train physically for certain events such as gymnastics and swimming, but their breasts do not develop because of all the exercise burning off most of their weight. Haku may have been trained in the same vigorous way. So you cannot use the absence of cleavage as evidence that she had no breasts and thus was not female.

On the same token, I cannot point out the fact that she had no Adam's Apple and claim that is evidence that she was not a male. Lastly, for this point, Haku's mother is also very flat as depicted in Haku's flashback. Unfortunately I cannot find the picture of Haku's mother that I saw a few days ago to point to as an example, but it was the scene where Haku's mother grabbed her after she showed her mother the water manipulation ability.

The openness of the V in Haku's kimono is inconsistent. In your image the V actually runs quite low to the sash. However in the following images: The edge of that V shape is actually in the middle or bottom of the two spiral patterns on each side of the kimono.

In your image the part runs far below that. So this might actually be a case of the artists not being able to draw the character's outfit realistically to fit the pose of the character. Look again: This is the same pose, only shot at a different angle! The V shaped part is back where it should be. Interesting that you would point that out, because the fact still remains that Naruto got the same view that we all did, and yet Naruto still got the impression that Haku was a girl.

Thus, they would never expect an attack from him. Good cover. Also, androgyny is a big thing in Japan. It's like a skill. Women weren't allowed in the theater, for example, so there were special families of men who trained specifically to play the female roles. Maybe it's a nod to that.

Aside from the fact that Haku wears a mask in battle and Kakashi assumed Haku was a boy at first glance, Haku claimed to be a boy to her enemy Naruto. If Haku's looks were a deception, then the claim of being a male contradicts this deception.

Moreover, if her looks were the deception then she would not have told Naruto otherwise, since Naruto had believed the "deception" that Haku was a girl. So your idea is not consistent with facts of the series. You are wrong. I did not forget this. It is just that this fact is irrelevant because Haku could not have know what Naruto thought or what he could have figured out.

In other words, Haku did not know that Naruto had no clue. That is the fact you seem to be forgetting. Plus, Haku knew that she and Naruto would meet again. She even stated this thought out loud. This is becuase she knew that she and Zabuza still needed to kill Tazuna and that Naruto still had to protect him. She knew they would likely fight in battle, and in that case she could not have known how that battle would go. Therefore she would not risk being open about her true identity.

Even if there was no risk, it is contradictory to shinobi principals be open about ones self to the enemy. You references to other animes is irrelevant. You cannot use those as sources. You can only use the Naruto series as a source. Haku was drawn to be a girl in every aspect. The argument about the North American is not important to the facts of the series which indicate that Haku was female.

However, it is still a good argument. You just admitted that North America has more skittish views than Japan. I recognize this as well. However, if this is the case AND Haku had been a boy, then it would have made "him" homosexual as well.

In that case it is likely that this would have been edited out in the English version. That was my only point with that argument. And no, talking about a pervert and censoring "Naruko" are not as bad as a same-sex pairing in a kid's anime on Cartoon Network.

The FCC has a strict policy about that. Masashi Kishimoto does make strong indication that Haku loved Zabuza in a romantic way. Her compliment and blushing are proof of that. He also shows that Zabuza had feelings for Haku when Zabuza touched her cheek right before he died.

Now, I don't appreciate you editing the article before even giving me a chance to respond to your questions. I also don't appreciate you calling my presentation of proof a "fanthread" and dismissing it as such.

The proof that I posted there is straight from the series. To disparage it is to disparage the series.

NPOV will not work unless we set the article up as I suggested, with the debate points being referenced and the subject being recognized as being under dispute.

COI does not apply to me. Need I remind you that I edited the Haku page long before you and others showed up? In my edit I did not refer to Haku as a girl or a boy. I followed the Neutrality rules of Wikipedia. COI does not refer to those who take a side, rather it refers to those who would edit Wikipedia to reflect their personal views.

I have edited the article, but never to represent my views. I am also the only one here who is suggesting we keep the article neutral in compliance with Wikipedian rules. Also, how can someone outside my group come in here and state that Haku might be a girl when saying such a thing would classify said person as being in my group?

No, you are the ones who are biased because you are pushing your point of view even though you have yet to post a single shred of evidence supporting your view. And because while the English version does not transfer ambiguity as much, it is still the one that readers are most familiar with and therefore we are to cater to.

And as wiki often to, because consensus determines it. We are officially considering Haku to be male. We will note that Haku does have a strong distinction to look like a female in the series, and does sometimes act like one.

We will note that because of the fair degree of ambiguity in the series there are fan groups which consider Haku to be a girl. However, because of multiple reasons we will not add a section on this to the article: As going along with WP:UNDUE , all this speculation from one source doesn't have enough weight. Putting a debate section in the article would add to much weight on the small fact that there is a deal of ambiguity to Haku's gender. And that much weight will distract from the more important parts of the article.

In other words, people will be more drawn, or scared by the debate, and focus less on Haku's involvement in the series, the types of jutsu, techniques, and kekkei genkai that Haku adds to the story.

A little ambiguity on one subject for a villain seen once in the series is far to un-notable in contrast to the entire series In addition, detailing the whole debate on the article fills it up with Original Research, which contrasts with WP:NOR. It's true that we focus a bit less on this, but for this one little subject, there is to much Original Research. All of the speculation on this comes either directly from Believe it!

With no other indirect sources, this is a severe hit on credibility and citation. We also will not be linking to the fanthread: Believe it! Being told to link to link to the thread by the creator would be considered a breach of Conflict of Interest.

If other people, who are outside of the group who do not have bias towards this subject think that it is a good fanthread to add to a fan section of an external links section, then we may add it.

In addition to that, it would bring in criticism of favoritism. If we linked to Believe it! If some other users bring forth a variety of other similar pages, we may link to them, based souly on examining their thoroughness, non-point of view, how much of the counterpoints they consider, and how well done they are. This is just a minor note, but people from Belive it! We'll only consider this number larger on seeing other un-connected groups which offer their own speculation.

This is also just a little advice, but people that have a strong bias towards the speculation on Haku's gender should avoid editing the gender related sections of the article. Feel free to contribute to the various other stuff about Haku, like his Jutsu, Kekkei Genkai, and what happens with him in the story. Just remember that while you may like to read it as if Haku is a girl, you should write it using he instead of she.

Conducting long debates on this on the talkpage and forums should also be avoided. It doesn't add anything to the wiki, and instead just creates friction between the editors which lowers the quality and newbie friendliness of the wiki's environment. For this reason, I am likely to be archiving the above section into a subpage at some point soon to avoid scaring the people who wish to discuss important parts of the article. Haku's statement that she was a man is only proof that she claimed to be a man.

It is not proof that she was a boy. The English version does not indicate that Haku was a boy either. Even though some indications that Haku was female are lost in translation from Japanese to English, the English version still indicates that Haku was most likely a female. Moreover, the Japanese version is straight from Kishimoto. If it has, just read the thread?? Found inside Grell doesn't really look like a girl. The problem with that whole theory is that Haku looked even more like a girl when he was a little kid than when he's a teen.

Naruto doesn't know Sasuke or whatever other teammate you give him is alive and Haku is responsible for that. While Haku was caught off guard he stuck his hand inside his kimono and grabbed haku's erect member. It was in the Sasuke retrieval arc, I was expecting to find information like that and any other appearences I might have missed or have coming up on this page! Anime episodes fully covered!

Make no mistake, Haku is an attractive character that fooled many men into liking him. In his guise as a white dragon his appearance suggests a river: flowing and graceful.
