First of all, sorry if a thread like this already exists but I couldn't find any using the search feature. Ok, Senran Kagura is a game of fanservice with only female characters (at least until now) and girls+fanservice = yuri. With that in mind I have a question... which girls are actually lesbians? I mean... all the characters are portrayed in kinda yuri situations, but the truth is that this is only another excuse for fanservice, not actual proof of their sexuality. I haven't played the games yet, so I have only partial information about the protagonists. So far I know Katsuragi really likes to harass other girls sexually, but has she stated that she only likes girls? Another example would be the relationship between Yagyuu and Hibari. Supposedly Yagyuu looks afte Hibari as her little sister, 'cause she resembles her, but I have seen official art with Yagyuu having nosebleed after seeing Hibari doing fanservice and other things like that. Then... Yagyuu sees Hibari as her lil' sis or is she in love with her? Other case is Haruka, she seems really interested, even obsesed, with Hibari. There are girls in the game that has had interest in some boy in the past or present? I want to know which girls are canonically lesbian. I'm not asking for pairings or the sort (not trying to be rude, just interested in canon  ), but rather official sources and canon facts. |

There is no official proof of any girl being a lesbian or the opposite.
However in my eyes
The closest to being one is Katsuragi however her hobby is the harassment of girls and when she is subjected to anything back she dislikes it, therefore i do not see it as her sexuality.
With Yagyuu there seems to be two versions of her the one who wants to protect Hibari and the one who has nosebleeds, the problem with a lot fanservice anime images or scenes can often be given Yuri elements for no reason. (Hyperdimension is a good example of this). You could stretch this further by saying she shows no interest in any other girl, so it is more just a futher expansion of her hibari obbsension.
Haruka is complex as she wants Hibari as one of her dolls, in the original i believe she is portrayed more as manipulative and a bully, in later versions possibly to make her more likable for burst it was sent over the top to what is now, where she finds her a cute little thing and wants her as her precious doll, plus Haruka likes to tease, shown with what she does to Mirai and Ryouna in SV.
I could be wrong but I would not put any of the girls down as lesbian, I would even go far enough to say none of them are bisexual.

That's just what I think, but as I said I haven't played the games, so I only have partial information of the characters.
I'm not a fan of the yuri genre, so I prefer to think that none of them are lesbian until there are definitive proofs.
With this I'm not saying that I hate yuri characters, for example, even if Katsuragi end being lesbian she will be my second favorite girl, just like now (maybe in the future I end liking other characters over her, but for now she is my second favorite).
I prefer to clarify things before someone call me homophobic only because I don't like these genres xD (this has happened to me before)

None of the girls are canonically Lesbian/ Bisexual etc. everything is strongly implied though. There's hardly any men in the series so we haven't seen a lot of interaction between opposite genders to make accurate assumptions.

Let's make a List:
Yagyuu is Lesbian for Hibari.
Murakumo is Lesbian for Shiki.
Imu is Lesbian for Miyabi.
Katsuragi is Lesbian for anyone with breasts.
did i miss any?
None of these are Mutual however.

Murakumo is Lesbian for Shiki. Wait What? nooo  You might want to put Haruka then for at least Hibari. And then some versions of Mirai too. I still stand my first statement though. |

After read your posts I think that, at the end, it's up to us to think who is and who is not lesbian. Here is the perfect example, for some people Haruka is only playing, for others not. That's the same thing for other characters. With this thread I didn't want to begin a war, but to know if there is any real proof. For now I'll think that the yuri in the series is only other resource for fanservice and not a fact of their sexuallity, but that is up to me. At the same time I want to know if there are any girl that, at the present or at the past, has some romance or interest in any guy. Just curiosity. If is a big spoiler, it's better to put it inside of a spoiler. Thanks for your responses  |

For me Katsuragi is not actually Lesbian.
Just a troll! LOL
Or maybe she is bisexual...
And in the beginning of Burst we have a little story when Asuka meets a guy who plays baseball that confessed to her but she doesn't know how to react. In that scene, if I remember clearly, Katsuragi shows a little bit to interested in the story for someone to be considered lesbian...
BTW, I'm gonna check it just to be certain...

I kinda think Katsuragi is a perverted lesbian. After all she gropes every single woman she can find. Then again, who knows?

Come on, there's nothing wrong with lesbians, as far as I know. And Haruka may be playing, but dang, Hibari could claim sexual harrasment |
