When thinking about anime uniforms, probably what comes to your mind is the classical schoolgirl uniform that permeates Japanese culture. Schoolgirl uniforms can be various, sexy, proper, or colorful, but what about other uniforms? A lot of other uniforms represent Japanese culture, like for example salary-man suit and tie, or magical girls outfits. In this ranking, though, we want to mention ten of the sexiest male uniforms out there. They are the ones that highlight male characters' muscles and perfect bodies. Stick with us until the end, as we'll go from sports uniforms to police ones in order to suit everyone's tastes!
Also, as this is an update article, if you keep scrolling down, you'll see the other ten of the sexiest male uniforms we previously chose!
10. All Out!!
- Episodes: 25
- Aired: October 2016 – March 2017
All Out!! is a sports anime revolving around rugby. Kenji Gion enrolls at the Kanagawa High School, and wishes to join a club. When he meets Sumiaki Iwashimizu and sees the rugby club during a training session, he suddenly feels a burning desire to become part of the team. After forcing Iwashimizu to join the club as well, the two of them begin their training, and step by step they come to understand the meaning of cooperation and teamwork!
We needed to put All Out!! in the list, as the rugby uniform Gion and the other members wear during a match is a real feast for the eye. Most of the characters in All Out!! are tall, muscular, and with amazing bodies. Their uniform showcases broad shoulders, perfect abdominals, and toned asses; try telling us it isn't sexy!
9. Kakumeiki Valvrave (Valvrave the Liberator)
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: April 2013 – June 2013
Haruto Tokishima lives a peaceful life in space, in a division called Module 77. One day, the Dorrsian Military Pact Federation invades Module 77, and some circumstances force Haruto to become a Valvrave pilot. He doesn't know yet, but by becoming a pilot, he actually gave up his human part, becoming something very similar to a vampire. While the battle against Dorrsia keeps going, Haruto will have to face a cruel battle, losses, and learn an important life lesson.
Kakumeiki Valvrave offers to its viewers a huge variety of different uniforms. Firstly, there's the school uniform, which is very sexy per se, but it's even better when it's Haruto wearing a necktie. Then, there's the uniform that Haruto wears as a Valvrave pilot, which nicely envelopes his figure. But let's not forget Dorrsian’s white military uniform! Considering how L-Elf and his comrades are all handsome guys, a white uniform, with red cuffs, and golden seams, it only enhances their beauty!
8. Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: July 2013 – September 2013
Haruka Nanase, who loves swimming more than anything else, attends the Iwatobi High, together with his childhood friends Makoto, and Nagisa. Thanks to Nagisa's determination, the three of them manage to start the school's swim club once again. With a new-entry who can't even swim, the four of them will put all of their efforts in order to win the swimming races against the other high schools!
The good thing about Free!'s uniforms is how they leave a lot of naked skin for our joy. Yeah, because of course there's the school uniform Haru and his friends wear, but we prefer thinking about the swim club's uniform. Haru and his comrades wear speedos, or full body suits while their well-built torsos are almost always naked, except for a hoodie sometimes. This uniform HAD TO be on this list!
7. Owari no Seraph (Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign)
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: April 2015 – June 2015
A mysterious virus killing people above the age of 13 spreads, and consequently, humanity is subjugated by vampires, who swear protection in exchange for blood. Yuu and Mika, foster brothers raised in an orphanage, together with their siblings, prepare a plan in order to escape from the vampires' grasp. Things don't go as planned, though, and Yuu's family gets killed, while Yuu is the only one who manages to escape. From that moment onward, only revenge against vampires will drive Yuu's every move.
Owari no Seraph offers to the viewers different kinds of uniforms, from school ones to battle ones. Not only that, this show's male characters are all handsome, tall, and very well-built. That's why we will be forever grateful for Guren Ichinose and the way the Lieutenant Colonel uniform looks on him. For Shinya Hiiragi, and his beautiful features enhanced by a wonderful uniform. But let's not forget the vampires' uniforms! If the Demon Army wears black, the vampires wears white... Owari no Seraph literally suits everyone's tastes!
6. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These – Kaikou (The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: The New Thesis - Encounter)
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: April 2018 – June 2018
The monarchic Galactic Empire, and the democratic Free Planets Alliance have been at war for a long time now. In a precarious situation, two rivals raise to power. On one side, for the Galactic Empire, a young admiral – Reinhard von Lohengramm – who hates the emperor. On the other side, for the Free Planets Alliance, the commodore Yang Wen-li, who hates war. Struggling among political conflicts, battles, and hardships, these two men will eventually turn the tables!
What do you think about a military uniform worn by tall, hot men? The Free Planets Alliance sports white pants, a dark jacket, with a white foulard, and a dark beanie; on Yang Wen-li, this uniform looks simply perfect. But on the other side, the Galactic Empire answers with a total black uniform, which Reinhard sometimes wears with a white cloak, as he is the admiral. The “Golden Lion” makes your heart beat faster, because men in uniform just have that effect on us!
5. K
- Episodes: 13
- Aired: October 2012 – December 2012
Those people with supernatural powers are called “Kings”, and they can choose the members of their own clans. Suou Mikoto, the Red King, is now looking for Yashiro Isana, who seemingly killed a Red Clansman. Yet, Yashiro is totally unaware that the video in which he murders another man has just gone viral. While chased after by the Red Clansmen, Yashiro is saved by Kuroh Yatogami, and when the two of them try to find evidence that Yashiro is innocent, another conspiracy is about to be uncovered, and probably another war among the Kings is about to begin...
Even if K's plot was a little weak, this anime's strong point is its visuals for sure. The Scepter 4, which is the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau, led by the Blue King – Reishi Munakata – delights us with seductive military uniforms, which slightly change according to the corresponding duty. So if not for its plot, and if you're looking for satisfactory visuals, and handsome men wearing uniforms, K is literally your cup of tea!
4. Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (The Irregular at Magic High School)
- Episodes: 26
- Aired: April 2014 – September 2014
The Magic High School is the institution for magicians, in which students are divided into two groups, based on their scores. “Blooms” are the talented ones assigned to the First Course; “Weeds” are those who received low scores, assigned to the Second Course. Tatsuya Shiba, and his sister Miyuki enroll the Magic High school, but while Miyuki is one of the “Blooms”, Tatsuya ends up with the “Weeds”. Now Tatsuya has to show everyone his worth, in spite of being a reserve!
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei is a wonderful anime which touches on many topics along the way. Even if full of beautiful girls, the one who stands out the most is exactly our protagonist, Tatsuya! The male school uniform in this show is amazing, thanks to its white and green colors, plus a long jacket enhancing the male figures. But then, what about Tatsuya's military uniform? A pure black mobile suit showing Tatsuya's well-built body. We love a uniform like that!
3. ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka (ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.)
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: January 2017 – March 2017
“ACCA” is a national body of the kingdom of Dowa. It was established as a peace settlement between the king of Dowa and the 13 states during a revolt years prior, and it provides public services to the citizens. Now, thanks to the ACCA system, Dowa is in a period of peace, or at least it was, until rumors about a coup d'état spread. Jean Otus, who works for the inspection department, is asked to inspect the 13 branches around the country in order to discover more about the rumors...
Jean Otus could have probably looked like a plain character, but we must say that his uniform really makes him look sexy. As the second-in-command of the ACCA inspection agency, he wears a black jacket with silver buttons, and an ACCA 13 patch on his right shoulder, a white shirt with a red necktie, and black trousers. This uniform lets the viewers imagine that Jean is muscular, in addition to being very tall. We really find a man in uniform like him seductive, plus ACCA 13 is an amazing show that needs to be watched!
2. Mobile Suit Gundam 00
- Episodes: 25
- Aired: October 2007 – March 2008
In order to put an end to the conflicts among the Union, the Human Reformist Alliance, and the AEU, a new organization is born, called Celestial Being. The depletion of fossil fuels forced mankind to use solar energy as a new power source, and that's why three orbital elevators were built. Yet, only selected countries can use the elevators, and this leads inevitably to war. Four brave men join the non-profit Celestial Being and become Gundam Meisters trying to put an end to the conflicts!
Gundam 00 is an amazing show and it's full of different uniforms, but we want to focus on its four protagonists and their meisters' outfits. Each of the Gundam Meisters is muscular, tall, and hot, and we are forever grateful to the uniform sticking to their skin like a glove, with some protruding protection here and there, showing triceps, asses, and broad shoulders. Each uniform has a different color, so that each of them can be easily recognized. Then, if you want to see what other uniforms pop up throughout the show, give Gundam 00 a shot... It's a delight!
1. Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion)
- Episodes: 25
- Aired: October 2006 – July 2007
Thanks to robots called Knightmare Frames, the Holy Empire of Britannia managed to subjugate Japan. Now renamed “Area 11”, Japan has lost its freedom, and its citizens – called “Elevens” – struggle to survive in the face of this new tyrannical oppression. Led by a boy called “Zero”, and with the purpose to help Japan to regain its identity, a resistance called “The Order of the Black Knights” appears. But the resistance's path will be long and arduous...
Code Geass uniforms range from military, royalty, to school ones; it's probably the only show on the list with a huge variety of outfits, even thanks to the big range of characters. As we don't want to spoil the plot too much, we'll focus on the Ashford Academy uniforms, worn by the two protagonists of the show: Lelouch Lamperouge, and Suzaku Kururugi. This uniform is simple, as it is black, with golden lines following the seams. As plain as it may seem, it suits the slender, and skinny figure of both our beautiful boys, and it's a delight.
Fear not, though: we just said that Code Geass is famous for the huge amount of uniforms the viewers get to see. So, if you don't like the school uniform, and want to see Lelouch, and Suzaku in other, wonderful attires, you only need to catch Code Geass!
Final Thoughts
And so we end our ranking of ten sexiest male uniforms! As we previously stated, you managed to see a mix of different uniforms at play. We really hope you enjoyed the ride as much as we did, but we want to know what you think and what other male uniforms could have fit in this list. Let us know in the comments below! See you next time!
From the infamous sailor suit to the salary-man suit and tie, uniforms permeate Japanese culture. Due to its entrenchment in Japanese daily life, it is no wonder why uniforms appear so often in anime series and play a large role in solidifying its appeal. But, what uniforms come to mind when thinking about anime uniforms? More likely than not, schoolgirl uniform in varying varieties of sailor-ness and sexiness. If schoolgirl uniforms float your boat, then there are plenty of anime series right up your alley.
But, what’s a person to do when in search for male uniforms, particularly sexy male uniforms?
Well, look no further! The following is a list of the top ten sexiest uniforms in anime. Ranging from police uniforms to sports uniforms, this list highlights the standardized clothes that both visually unify and showcase the male form.
So without future ado, here are the top ten sexist male uniforms!
10. Samurai Flamenco
- Episodes: 22
- Aired: October 2013 – March 2014
Looking for fashionable justice?
Now, starting off with a show that many people probably dropped midway is perhaps not the most promising. But hear me out. For all intents and purpose outside of plot and genre continuity, Samurai Flamenco truly accentuates the handsomeness of the male form with uniforms. This can easily be seen with Masayoshi Hazama, the main character of the show who rocks the superhero spandex with his buddies of justice. There are also a great variety of police uniforms as well.
Take a gander at Hidenori Gotō, the resident and reluctant representative of the law. Throughout the series, Gotō uniform slightly changes much to his and the audience’s benefit. It is perhaps no wonder why many of the females in the show like Mari Maya finds Gotō to be the perfect man to satisfy their uniform fetish.
For those unfamiliar with Samurai Flamenco, the phrase, “you have to see it to believe it,” might be the most applicable when describing the series. To keep things simple, Samurai Flamenco follows the story of Hazama as he tries to become a superhero.
9. Antique Bakery (Seiyou Kottou Yougashiten: Antique)
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: July 2008 – September 2008
On a slightly different track than Samurai Flamenco, we have Antique Bakery for those who have more butler-esque uniform tastes. While this show is not really about butlers, Keisuke Tachibana and his gang of handsome men (Yusuke Ono, the patisserie with “demonic charm,” Eiji Kanda, the former boxer, and Chikage Kobayashi, the closest thing to an actual butler in the entire series) do black and white uniforms justice and lightly touch on butler play.
Plot wise, Antique Bakery depicts the story of four men who are squeezed in small bakery and make cakes for an intended female audience. While it brushes up against what can be viewed in American audiences as “shounen’ai,” the series does not delve into the explicit and is appropriate for most ages.
8. Death Parade
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: January 2015 – March 2015
Along the lines of service industry uniforms, the attire of Decim and Ginti in Death Parade, while a bit on the understated side, will certainly turn heads. That is, if you can notice their clothes through your tears (note for the sensitive: Death Parade may make you cry). Decim and Ginti’s uniform is modest bartender fare: a well-tailored dressy vest paired with an apron and bowtie. Yet, its subtlety gives Decim and Ginti a certain allure accentuating their already well-crafted character design.
Describing the plot for those unfamiliar with Death Parade will spoil the surprises that continually unfold from the very first episode. To state that this show deals with question of the meaning of life and love is perhaps the least spoiler-ish way possible to describe emotional rollercoaster called Death Parade.
7. K
- Episodes: 13
- Aired: October 2012 – December 2012
I am not going to beat around the bush. If you are looking for plot, K may not be the best place to look. But, if you are looking for faintly seductive military-esque uniforms as embodied by the Scepter 4 uniforms, K will more than satisfactory. Within the world of K, Scepter 4, also know as the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau, Civil Registry Department, Annex 4, is a quasi-police organization that tracks and manages people with supernatural abilities.
Like how this organization has special duties, the uniforms associated with the job can at the least be described as “special.” A mix of Full Metal Alchemist uniform, pirate costume, and old French military uniforms, the Scepter 4 uniform is simultaneously attractive and at times baffling. But, for those looking for male eye candy, watch out for Munakata Reisi and Fushimi Saruhiko, two glasses characters that make wearing more clothing sexier.
As an anime with a plot that feels continually elusive even with the release of the film K: Missing Kings, K is a difficult series to summarize. At best, K can be described as a show about people who wield supernatural powers and are members of clans. If this seems confusing, watching the show might not actually help. With any hope, season two of K will enlighten us.
6. Full Metal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi)
- Episodes: 51
- Aired: October 2003 – October 2004
Classic as it is recognizable, the State Alchemist uniforms of Full Metal Alchemist embody a more mature yet formidable sensuality. While a bit more heavy duty and formal than the Scepter 4 uniforms, State Alchemist uniforms nonetheless will satiate anyone with a military uniform fetish. Also, Roy Mustang particularly ups the sexy level with his white ignition cloth gloves.
Regarding the story, Full Metal Alchemist is about Edward and Alphonse Elric. After a horrible alchemy experiment to bring back their mother from the dead goes awry and results in the loss of Edward’s arm and leg and Alphonse’s entire body, Edward joins the State Alchemist ranks. While employed by the State Military of Amestris, Edward and Alphonse search for away to recover their original bodies.
5. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch)
- Episodes: 25
- Aired: October 2006 – July 2007
Moving from quasi-military uniforms to school uniforms, we turn to Code Geass, a series bolstering with a variety of uniforms ranging from military, royalty, to school uniforms. For this article, I will be focusing on the male Ashford Academy uniforms. CLAMP’s character design for Code Geass resembles their other lanky, and at times fantastically proportioned characters in series like Xxxholic and Tsubasa.
The Ashford Academy uniforms, notably worn by main characters Lelouch Lamperouge and Suzaku Kururugi, suit the character’s slender figures. For those attracted to lithe and skinny men, be sure to look out for the Ashford Academy uniform.
Story wise, Code Geass is an alternate universe anime envisioning a future in which Japan is taken over by the superpower Britannia. Lelouch, an exiled prince of Britannia, avows to avenge the death of his mother and overthrow the Britannian Empire.
4. Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin)
- Episodes: 25
- Aired: April 2013 – September 2013
While the past two military uniforms discussed in this article were a bit on the modest side, the Shingeki no Kyojin’s Survey Corps uniforms are light, trim, and perfectly frames the best “ass”ets of the hope for humanity. A combo of belts, a cape, and boots, these uniforms emphasizes the svelte figure of such characters like Levi Ackerman and Eren Jaeger leave plenty of room for the imagination. Despite depicting humanity in grave troubles, Shingeki no Kyojin does up the ante for male eye candy fashion.
Shingeki no Kyojin depicts the story Eren Jaeger and his friends as humanity faces the horror man eating titans. After the death of his mother due to a titan invasion, Eren vows to destroy the titans, only to discover they might be closer to home than he thought.
3. Psycho-Pass
- Episodes: 22
- Aired: October 2012 – March 2013
With well-fitted black suits that are only occasionally covered up with a blue quasi-police jacket, the Psycho-Pass uniforms for the Public Safety Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Division at times resembles yazuka formal wear. (Considering Reborn!’s Akira Amano did the character design for the series, it makes sense).
At first glance, there are not many special features to the Public Safety Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Division’s attire. But, that does not detract from the overall sexiness of characters like Kougami Shinya and Ginoza Nobuchika. Instead, these seemingly normal suits endows them with a certain gravity and dignity. This goes to show a suit can do any man a favor.
Psycho-Pass is an anime set in a dystopia future in which every citizen of Japan is installed with a “Psycho-Pass” that allows the Sybil System to monitor mental states and probability of committing a crime. Psycho-passes indicate a person has a high likelihood of committing a crime and the Public Safety Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Division enforces order with the help of people who are on the brink of being categorized as criminals themselves.
2. Kill la Kill
- Episodes: 24
- Aired: October 2013 – March 2014
Let me tell you two useful pieces of information about Kill la Kill…
Considering Kill la Kill is all about school uniforms, uniform culture, and fashion (or rather fascism), it is probably no surprise it is on this list. Also rather than just typical fan-service for men, Kill la Kill afraid to show some man skin too.
Honnouji Academy uniforms in their normal state by and large appear to be slightly fancier versions a gakuran. But in battle form, they truly become what can be called “sexy male uniforms.” Keeps your eyes peeled for Uzu Sanageyama and Ira Gamagoori, especially during their magical-girl-esque transformation sequences. For those who are looking for a little something outside of the school uniform range, check out the Nudist Beach uniforms which amount to little more than a belt at times. Notables from Nudist Beach include Aikuro Mikisugi and Tsumugu Kingase.
1. Free!
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: July 2013 – September 2013
Last and definitely not least is Free!, a series in which what can be called a “uniform” actually amounts to half-naked and mostly-naked men. With the Haruka Nanase and the gang wearing swimsuits ranging from speedos to full body suits, Free! has much to offer in the fan service department…
For those who have not had the pleasure of splashing into Free!, this series follows the journey of Haruka Nanase, Makoto Tachibana, and Rin Matsuoka as they strive to become better swimmers and better friends. Given this scenario, this show opens itself up for plenty of shipping and fan service. However, it also dwells on more serious themes of growing up and growing pains.
In this top ten list, we see a mix of military, school, sports, and work uniforms at play. With hopes, these stimulate your sense and stativity your search for sexy male uniforms. If not, be sure to leave your comments, questions, and complaints below!
