Benzaiten is an antagonist-turned-minor ally featured in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, and is one of the only female fighters featured in the series.
Appearance[]
Having the ability to freely change sexes, Benzaiten does not have a fixed appearance, and appears differently depending on the gender she/he is currently assuming. As a man, Benzaiten appears large and muscular, with a thick mane of reddish hair and red lips, perhaps due to the addition of makeup.
Benzaiten does not have a fixed female appearance either, as she appears as an elegant black-haired woman wearing a kimono in her fights with Otokojuku, and while on a date with Zhang Wukong, she appeared as a completely different-looking, but otherwise attractive Taiwanese teenage girl.
Due to her/his ability to freely swap her/his gender, Benzaiten is not limited to changing her/his entire appearance, and can change parts of her/his appearance at will as well. For instance, she/he can be female from the waist down, and male from the waist up.

The switches are instantaneous, she/he can perform partial transformations, allowing for a wide range of tactical applications depending on her opponent.
