This video shows a not at all unskilled performance of K-ON!’s popular OP theme, Cagayake! GIRLS, by a mysterious figure in Nagato Yuki cosplay.
As is usual with these sorts of videos, the major questions being asked seem to center on the gender of the hapless cosplayer, although with more fervor than is the norm, due to some visual hints…
The evidence brought against “Nagato” is mostly:
- The lack of any chest.
A reasonable enough claim, although a mostly flat girl under that sweater would probably appear so.
- The legs seem masculine.
This one is more open to debate.
- Gigantic, bony hands bigger than the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!
This one could very well be on to something…

LOL! It's a frigging trap!
duh do you think girls know how to play instruments?
I FUCKING LOVE KYONKO!!
Lol desperate otaku need to cloth as woman to make other otaku happy to think that woman can actually play guitar because of K-on. LOL.
This is a trend that's been going on for years; don't associate it with K-On!, please.
Also how Nagato doesn't laugh (yet), but still good
yeah, it's a guy. Tissue Hime makes it less obvious in my opinion.
Tissue Hime is coool. BUT never the less this player rocks at playing this songg. Now it makes me want to play this as well.
He would've been able to get away with it if he had lighting from the bottom as well, that would reduce the hard shadows on the hands which give it away. I disagree with the manly legs because they look fine to me. And chest is no evidence at all.
The chest and shoulders look too broad to be female.
Gender disregarded~
<3 this.
What is the point of this spectacle? music not live. And if you want to show yourself, then you can try at porn industry.
I don't think this is Tissue Hime...
The abscene of tissue boxes and the fact that he is not playing bass indicates a different person, or perhaps a Tissue Hime wannabe?
I'm pretty sure thats not tissue hime. Other than the absence of the usual, its nearly impossible to tell whether tissue hime is a guy or a girl. Still good guitar though.
It's not tissue hime, tissue hime has a better camera then that. The picture is grainy and I've never seen one with a camera like that.
It can't be Tissue Hime. He plays the bass, his cosplay has longer sleeves, and he has nice legs. I hate to admit it but he's quite sexy -_-'
Tissue Hime also plays guitar :O
Play guitar, drums and base... But that one is just another crossdresser... Not tissue hime.
Here's the best tissue-hime video by far.

(live action, outside, with more people, and more tissue-hime to see. Check out the pink hair. )
uhh weird... I was having trouble getting in the "mood", but when i hit play, i suddenly got in the "mood"
Thank you Cagayate! GIRLS, and mysterious guitar playing trap :3
1:42-2:16
0_0 Holy Sheep... I can't play that!
Also she's a HE
Well transgenders prefer to go by whatever gender they are dressed as, so I guess it's ok to call him a her. (As long as you realize what she is anyway.)
And her playing was awesome, great fretwork! there was a few parts of the song I couldn't figure out on my own by ear, and now I see why... She puts me to shame as a player.
LOL search meriken0318 on jewtube and you'll really feel like shit
Why sugest their a transgender? I don't think it's got anything to do with it. They're cosplaying. You can't say you've never seen scores of hundreds of guys in peculiar clothing before. Gender really doesn't much matter when it comes to hyped cosplayers.
Sure, they're going to try and fool people if they can, but generally that's not the point.
In this case, anyone still doubting, should consider the shoulder width, and the simple fact that they hid their head while making sure the rest was visible. If a girl did want to display their guitar prowess + a bit of cosplay, why would they hide?
All the same, I'm not fussed what gender. It was good guitar playing.
*bows to mysterious guitar trap player*
Juliau, stop worshiping false gods!!!
Anons... they are stalking me! D:
Hell yeah. Renounce the false gods, and you will have peace
so obvious, look at his hands
HOLY! A SHEMALE!
anyway he's really good :D
a trap is fine also T_T
How can you not know about Tissue Hime Quen?
He is just epic on a whole another level, although there are better songs than this one....
He actually didn't even come to mind as I writing this post, but like others have already said, the cosplayer here looks to be a different one.
Well I kinda realized that after I posted.
Brainfart on my part, gomenasai....
I LOLed at the Gurren Lagann comment.
I can't stop it. Replayed like a couple times already.
絶対男の手...
Based on his (it's a guy, no doubt) shoulder to hip ratio, general size of hands and overall skin tone, it's more masculine.
So it's almost definitely a guy
Maybe it's both.
Maybe it's neither. >.<
Because Nagato is an alien.
So it's another.
C'mon its clearly a guy, the upper part of the legs, the hips are plain, the hands are to big for a female
but LOOK AT THOSE HANDS
MAN HANDS
my gaydar senses are going through the roof~!
Trap or not i must admit he/she got some amazing skill at guitar
Its mostly the stance and shoulders giving him out.
His skill level and way of playing are also aspects to note when trying to determine the gender...
MAN HANDS!!!
Shoulders are wider than the waist by alot.. its a TRAP !!
Definite case of the Man-Hands going on in that video.
Still enjoy it though!
fucking trap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is a trap!
Is a Man!
Look those hands and legs!!!
Definitely a guy.
Traps are good too. <3
Pretty decent guitar playing, too. I like it. ~
That's a guy, no doubts there. And he plays well, too.
So, is there a vid where he plays the ED anywhere?
Oh, and Kyonko > Kyon.
If this is what I think it is, do you not know "The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya"? And the entire meme behind it where everyone is the gender swapped? Like Kyon=>Kyonko? Nagato Yuki => Nagato Yuuki? Haruhi=>Haruki?

Doubtlesstly, Admiral Ackbar said it...

No oppai
No juicy legs
No soft puni-puni hands
sigh....
I'm getting a guy vibe from this, the chest is kind of shaped into pecs rather than a slender washboard or I'm just seeing things
Is that Tissue Hime? A kick-ass bass player that also cosplays as Nagato with an indeterminable gender.
Tissue Hime is my god
Look at those giant hands go crazy X_X
I lol'd at the hands
definately a dude.
i remember seeing vids on youtube of this person, he's 110% man under there.
there's a difference to gender bend/swap and crossdressing =\
"* Gigantic, bony hands bigger than the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!"
I lol'd! XD
Putting the gender topic aside, this was great.
I give a 6 out of 5!
The hands give it off.Thats most likely a guy.Everything else is girl-like.Cool video.
its a really skinny guy.
no hips, HUGE HANDS, freaky legs, and he doesnt show his face.
if it was a girl, even if she wasnt "cute" im sure shed have shown her face.
its a trap.
atleast it was great guitar playing
it'[s a guy u can tell by the fingers
Who cares. He/she is good :O
Probably a trap.
Great playing, but never seen fingers like that on a chick...
Erm... he's a guy, named Nagato Yuuki. Sounds lame, but it's the same as for Kyonko and Suzumiya Haruki, huh.
The video was interesting though.
It's surely a male. Look at veins on his hands :p
trap?
the lack of hips? and the wide shoulders
defetnetly male dude, see the finger ! vein....
kyon looks hot as a female O_O
and those are some huge hands on the guitarist for a female
what a great trap this is
I jizzed my pants at the picture.
Oh God so hot.
Those are some gigantic, bony hands!!
his penis is sticking out!
I'd say it's KURIKINTON FOX. The furniter seems to match, so does the skill...

Oh yes, and this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17px3pIZTA0&NR=1
That wardrobe again.
He's REALLY good tho.
holy crap! nice!
Trap^^
1# - hip looks rather masculine...
2# - the guitarist seems to have huge shoulders - compared to a girl...
3# - his legs feel masculine...They are thin but doesn't have the typical soft shape Japanese female legs usually have...
4# - and the pointed issue with handsize...
Still, nice play :)
wow-- it is a girl,and can freakin rock..you can tell this is the same girl,she plays with her thumb over the top, and cups the srings..the best ive ever seen..she also has a bad left leg-- follow the leg-lol..

How the hell do you do 01.13.
Regardless of gender, he/she sure likes to show off his skills by taking some liberties with the song: 1:01-1:12 "solo", 2:04-2:16 finger tapping and obvious 4:03-4:11 finishing shredding are his/her additions to the song. 1:54-2:03 shredding between harmonics is probably also an addition, though it's hard to verify.
Well, who cares? It's not like jpop is written to please guitar shredders, so he/she had no choice. Great perfomance :)
