FUTANARI

Futanari (二成, 二形; ふたなり; a compound word meaning "two form" in Japanese can mean both the subjects of a special type of pornographic anime or manga (commonly known in the West as hentai), or the genre itself. Futanari depicts hermaphrodites, intersex or other individuals with female body-types and sexual organs resembling penises, whether or not those organs are in fact enlarged clitorises, or they possess both male and female reproductive organs. Technically, the term also encompasses male characters with both sets of sexual organs, but these are usually excluded.

Other common terms used to describe futanari characters are "dickgirls" or "shemales", although these are often considered vulgar and incorrect. (The term "shemale" is typically used wrongly, since an accurate futanari character possesses a vagina. Shemale is considered a separate genre by many futanari fans). Futanari, along with "newhalf", are more polite terms having come into recent use, with futanari tending to refer specifically to actual hermaphrodites and "newhalf" tending to refer specifically to characters with female bodies but only male genitals.

Another way to describe futanari is "Any female-looking hentai character that contains the traits of a female, but also possesses the penis of a male. The hentai character must also not actually be a boy crossdressing as a female." The argument over which characters are crossdressers and which are really just "chicks with dicks", is hard to find a solution to, which is why, generally, the idea that futanari have to have vaginas is commonly accepted.
