In reply to Lilly Valentine. Editor here: I have added an editor's note to that section of the article to reflect that she is a canonically cisgendered woman. However, there are many people who find her story just as empowering as a trans experience. With Japan's approach toward homosexual and trans characters, I see no issue with her being included on this list, even if she isn't canonically trans.

Hey, Naoto is not a trans man. Saying that Naoto is a trans man is COMPLETELY missing the point of her empowering message in her social link. Naoto was born female but always wanted to be a detective so she acted like a boy and made other people believe she is a boy just so she could be treated with respect in the field, later on we know that she was treated poorly regardless of her gender and at the end of her social link and dungeon by extention we get to see her grow into a strong independent woman that doesn’t fear what society thinks she could or couldn’t do because of her gender. Tldr: if you’ve played the game and completed her social link you know that she’s a woman, a strong woman with Ana empowering message at that.

In reply to ema. Hi there! Thank you for commenting that. This article was written before that was made canon, so I have gone in to add an Editor's note to reflect that.
