I was into Malice Mizer in the early 2000s and that's Mana, the lead guitarist. He's a dude, not a lesbian lol

From Wikipedia:

Mana is known for wearing 'female' clothes. Mana himself has said that he wanted to be the ultimate onnagata [male actors who play female roles in kabuki theatre] ... His lack of speaking, combined with his commitment to 'feminine' dress, led to people believing he was actually female.

(I added the definition of onnagata because I didn't know what it was until I clicked the link)

He went as far as whispering into his band mates ears to answer interview questions I believe. Visual kei is wild. Love it <3

I'm not surprised because I totally thought he was a woman for years and it's funny regardless
