Meet Nuriko

This is Nuriko, a character from the anime/manga series Fushigi Yûgi, also known as The Mysterious Play.  The story, originally created by Yuu Watase, features Nuriko as a crossdresser who began doing so in the wake of his younger sister’s death.  Nuriko’s original male name is Chō Ryūen; he started crossdressing as a way to keep the memory of his sister, Kang-Lin, alive.  In the follow-up series, Fushigi Yûgi Eikoden, Nuriko is reborn as a young girl named Ko Reishun.
