No. 6
| Just curious to see what the majority of other people think, twice CR has subbed dogkeeper as "he", once in ep 4 and once in ep 6. When I first saw it I assumed girl, but looking again at its mannerisms/looks it could easily be either, I'm leaning boy at the moment. As far as I know the novels are ambiguous also. |

| Girl, cause I had that feeling she was a girl throughout the novel xD Something I wrote in the other thread: Attention: novel spoiler |
 |
| I think Inukashi is a girl...she just looks like a girl to me. I like to think of her as a tomboy maybe. :) EDIT: Yeah, I just remembered the subs I'm watching did refer to her as 'he'...I think it was just a mistake honestly. xD |

| lolz tbh I think it could go either way..but Im currently leanin towards Inukashi bein a girl..tho i have been wrong before.. xD |
| I'm pretty sure the dogkeeper is a guy |
| Definitely going with girl. |
 |
| I always thought that she's a girl, but I'm not sure anymore. There seems to be something masculine about her... |

| I thought she was just a tough chick. Not every girl goes "uguuu" and "gaoo" every ten seconds. |
 |
| In the anime she is drawn with female features... particularly slender limbs and costuming which would be odd if a male were to have her history. I have always considered her a (female) tomboy character. I know that female voice actors often voice male characters, but usually only younger ones.... so if she turns out to be a he for some reason then it's at least a deliberate trap. Most of the features used by the animators are androgynous -- for example both genders have pronounced collar bones, similar eye shape and underlashes, and other facial features... at least with the protagonists, but they likely made the male protagonists more feminine purposefully. |
 I am a banana. |
| Having my doubts too. In Episode 6 there's a moment where Shion refers to Dogkeeper as 'He' Yet of course, it could've just been an error in the subs. EDIT: Also, anybody knows Envy, from FMA? His voice was female's, his clothing wasn't exactly... 'manly'... yet, the character was male. |

| I feel that dogkeeper being a girl, just feels right to me. True, I was blindsided by Envy, and Chrona fucks with my head still. But the subs don't prove anything, it's only the CR subs that've done that right, other languages have gone for a female pronoun, and I guess the Japanese has none. I want dogkeeper to be a girl though. |
 |
| first, i saw the Dogkeeper as a girl, because of the feminine face and slender body.. but i don't like the Dogkeeper's attitute and character, too harsh and boyish... so, when the issue gender starts to come out, i thought, eh? emm... maybe she is a he, plus the flat chest.. so, i think i would like him to be he.. :D |
| Well I hope Dogkeeper is a girl. Looks like one...just a bit tomboy-ish. |

| I always thought the Dog Keeper was a girl but in the last episode she was referred to as a he. |

| Looks like a girl, acts like a guy, but sometimes acts sensitive like a girl. The confusing thing to me is that some guys can look like girls, some girls do act like guys, and guys can be sensitive like a girl. Something tells me that he's a guy. I don't know. Maybe it's something about when he's with Nezumi...like, the atmosphere kind of suggests to me he's a guy. I don't know. tells me that if Dogkeeper was a girl then then...in some way Nezumi would treat him differently? Oh wow, if I go any further I would kind of make Nezumi sound like he's a sexist, personally I think that he doesn't give a damn whether Dogkeeper's a girl or a boy. |
| I believe the Dog Keeper is female. We have to remember that she was raised by dogs, so she's not going to have the typical female characteristics. She's a product of her upbringing and environment, so although she has masculine traits and tendencies, she is without a doubt (imo) female. |
 |
| As much as I like trap bishies I have to say that I'm pretty sure it's a girl. |
 |
| I'm just going to wait and hopefully they will reveal whether or not he/she is actually a male/female. |
| I think she's a girl.. =) Not every Girl have to be "kawaii and moe" and stuff :DD I really like her somehow =) She's not a princess nor some annoying chick :DD |
| Girl. It should be obvious by now after the last episode with the shoulder touching and all but people still seem confused. And here is my proof ^__^  Though this may turn out to just be some random woman with the exact skin color and shirt as Inukashi, but we'll see. |
| I don't know I want to say female.... |

Ya, the last ep all but confirmed she's a girl in my eyes. I'm not seeing how this screenshot is proof though. |
| Waaah? I don't understand what that screen shot has to do with the Inukashi's gender O_o''' Sion asked dog to bring baby to the Inukashi so duuuuh XD ! |
weeabooweeaboo said: I'm not seeing how this screenshot is proof though. Because it's most likely Inukashi in the shot(same skin tone, same color and style shirt) and you can see cleavage. |
| I seriously thought Dogkeeper was a guy |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Bit of trivia for you, the Seiyuu voicing inukashi ONLY does female roles. |
| Inukashi's gender is left largely ambiguous in all adaptions of No. 6. However the novel had a scene where Sion hugged Inukashi and thought how Inukashi's body felt like Safu's. I think that Inukashi is really a girl, but is pretending to be a guy so anyone who meets Inukashi thinks she's a guy. |
| I think it's a female... at first I thought and I always had that feeling... And when that guy licked him/her, he/she was really bothered, and than Sion said something like: 'Inukashi, you are...' and I had a feeling he was going to say 'a girl' xD I don't know why xD Plus, in the scene with the baby, he/she really seemed like a girl xD But we can't know for sure xD |

| The dogkeeper is female. It makes it even more obvious with the baby scene, and how she reacts to being called "Mama" and ofcourse this: SoraKuro said: Yup, during that scene with the baby, when she holds him, you can see her cleavage. |
| Female I think... A tomboyish female. (or Just a guy who looks like a girl?) I don't know but I still mostly think Inukashi is a tomboyish female. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| in episode 9 after the dogkeeper was used to seduce that man...she/he was washing herself when she had a moment with Shion. When shion touched her...he realised something and said 'You're a..." then they were interrupted before he could finish the sentance. what was he going to say?! i don't get that part :/ was that the moment when shion realised she was a he or something? or does it has a completely different meaning? ______________________________________ EDIT: oh i just noticed that also in that scene (when the dogkeeper snapped at the politician), the politician says "what is this?", and then the pimp (can't remember his name right now) says "a young girl doesn't look much different from a boy" That makes it pretty clear that the dogkeeper is a boy, i recon :/ |

| my first impression was that she/he was a girl, but that was purely because of the long hair. after a while, i changed my mind and thought, hmm, maybe its a guy. but then all the hints seemed to point towards girl, such as shion's "you're a...!" - i cant see that sentence ending any other way than "girl". Then again, i dont believe that any girl could have a chest quite that flat - its just biology. on the other hand, she might be a prepubescent girl...? I cant remember if we're given his/her age. well, we might have to rely on some Word of God eventually coming out about this. alternatively, it may be up to us to just decide for ourselves what we want to think xD |
| In episode 9 I’m sure I remember Rikiga saying that young girls and boys are hard to tell apart when the person in the wig was revealed to be Inukashi. (Inukashi was disguised as a girl; therefore they assume that Inukashi is ‘male’ and easily mistaken for a girl the due to their young age). Therefore the cast (including Sion) assume that Inukashi is male. When Sion makes a surprised comment about what can only be Inukashi‘s gender then it’s fair to assume that Sion finds out that his assumption is false. As he assumed Inukashi to be male, Inukashi must therefore be a female. Besides, I can’t see Sion knowingly putting a young girl within reach of a pervy old man, even if there’s help nearby. Of course we can’t forget Inukashi’s outraged reaction which would be pretty typical of an ‘empowered’ young girl being made to feel helpless. Also, there’s that scene with the baby when Inukashi has an embarrassed fit because it thinks she’s his mother. I think Inukashi’s gender was the series worst kept secret until Sion’s revelation. Of course, with the BL element of the show, a more comical interpretation could be that Inukashi is the only straight male member of the cast and his reaction to the informant’s actions was because he’s highly homophobic. Sion’s revelation in that case would be “Inukashi, you’re actually straight!” |
| a girl though i do agree that inukashi seems to have been left pretty ambigous as to their gender, on a side.... she's probably my favorite character in the show... |
