Geisha, also known as geiko or geigi, are traditional Japanese female entertainers whose skills include music and dance, fine conversation, and tea ceremony. Geisha are easily recognizable by their hairstyle, their elaborate kimono and their white make-up. Geisha who have not yet completed their training are called maiko ("dancing girl/child") or hangyoku ("half-jewel", referring to them being hired for half price of a full-fledged geisha), and tend to be more colorfully arrayed than their adult counterparts, with different hair pieces for each month, and different styles according to the level of apprenticeship. A young/hangyoku maiko is apprenticed to an ''onee-san'' (older sister), a fully-fledged geisha whom she assists, resides with, and learns from. Traditionally, those who chose to marry had to retire from the profession, though today, some districts allow their geisha to marry. For a long time the role of the geisha has been seen as mysterious, exotic, and alluring. Contrary to popular belief, geisha are not prostitutes (that would be yuujo or "pleasure women", of which the top tier were the famous ''oiran'' or ''tayuu'', both predating geisha), but rather practitioners of the traditional arts, party hostesses and professional conversationalists, with stage names and distinct personal lives. On the other hand they weren't nuns either, as a geisha was free to be romantically and/or sexually involved with guests. Sex for money is off the menu though — back in the day, even before prostitution was banned in Japan in 1956, prostitutes had to be licensed to work as such, and geisha were licensed as geisha; a woman couldn't hold both licenses, it was illegalnote Though it didn't, sadly, stop some more shady businesses (mostly in smaller districts) from doing so, as Sayo Masuda learned the hard way.. That hasn't stopped them from being the object of many a fantasy. It is interesting to consider that Maids can be considered a modern and Kawaiiko take on the job of a geisha: dancing, singing, playing games, talking with the customers. See also "Yamato Nadeshiko", the archetype of Japanese femininity. |

Memoirs of a Geisha and its film adaptation tells the story of Chiyo, a little girl whose dirt poor family sells her in order to make ends meet. Some of her companions in fate end up being sold to brothels, but the pretty Chiyo is lucky enough to be bought into a geisha house to be a servant, and later, if she proves worthy, an apprentice, thus becoming the famous geisha Sayuri. Despite how the book gives the impression of being a biography and based on real life, it's pure fiction and contains its share of inaccuracies. The one most aficionados would name first is the auctioning of the virginity of maiko about to graduate as geiko. In fact, the book was "inspired" by the life of the real geisha Mineko Iwasaki. Iwasaki got so upset at the author, Arthur Golden, that she sued him and then wrote her own book (Geisha of Gion) to counter all the fictionalization. |

Shi: Although she's not one, Shi uses geisha's makeup (white face with bright red lips) and haircut as a form of homage of her heritage (she's half-Japanese half-American). In some artworks, she's seen dressed as one, in Stripperific form of course. | |

In Farewell to Spring this trope overlaps with High-Class Call Girl. The local geishas work as classic geishas; the five young men who are the central characters hire three geishas to sing and dance at a party. But they also work as prostitutes, as dialogue explains that a "Prostitute Ban" has made life more difficult for the local geishas. | |

Can be trained by daimyo in Shogun: Total War and Total War: Shogun 2 games. They're pretty far up the tech tree, but if you get them they are excellent at assassinating targets - unlike ninjas their presence in a province is known to your target, but they cannot be openly killed because that would be considered dishonorable (the only ways to get rid of the threat is to either sic a ninja or send a geisha of your own for a Mutual Kill). | |

In Zodiac P.I., the mystery revolving around Gemini focuses on a pair of twins (of course) who are also maiko. The solution to the mystery is that one of the twins was wearing the wrong headpiece for the particular month — she had used the headpiece to stab the man who was stalking her, and could no longer use it. | |

Sakura and her older sisters (Satsuki, Tamao, Koume and Sumomo), inspired by the "Kimono Girls" from the games, are also seen dressed as Geishas and performing activities like ikebana and tea ceremony, before changing into normal clothes and accepting Ash's challenges. |

One Piece: During the Wano arc, most of the members of the Straw Hat Pirates go undercover in various roles to recruit more samurai to their cause and/or get information. Nico Robin disguises herself as a geisha named "O-Robi", and hopes to be invited to the shogun's palace to entertain for him so she can snoop around. Despite being a newcomer, she does well enough in the role to become a popular geisha in that short amount of time and does indeed get invited to perform at the palace, and is successfully able to sneak away and gather a good deal of useful intel before she's eventually discovered. | |

Clothes of Deception is another Japanese film that blurs the distinction between geisha and High-Class Call Girl. Machiko Kyo (again) plays Kimicho, who dresses as a geisha and does the traditional fan dance and whatnot. But she also demands the money up front and sees more than one client, sometimes more than one in a day. When one client hesitates to come up with a large sum of money Kimicho is demanding, she bluntly says "No sex for you!". Her mother Kiju, a more traditionalist geisha who per the usual style was The Mistress to a single wealthy patron (Kimicho's father, in fact), disapproves. | |

Her first design, as seen in Soul Calibur III, was similar to the Japanese courtesans known as Oiran, who wore cosmetics and clothing similar to geisha but tied their sashes in the front of their belts instead of wearing a backwards obi. This similarity was referenced in one of Setsuka’s kicks, “Oiran kick�. | |

The character design of Deande from Battleborn uses many traits common to the typical Geisha look - a waist ribbon from the back, pale white face makeup and the use of fans. Her small red lip makeup and hair done up with thin blades sticking out of no doubt were inspired by it as well. The thing she just really lacks is the kimono. | |

RoboGeisha is the story of two sisters: Kikuyakko "Kikue" Kagusa, a Geisha who is renowned for her beauty, and Yoshie Kagusa, who works as a servant in the same teahouse as Kikuyakko. Yoshie suffers near constant abuse at the hands of her elder sister, who derides her lack of grace and potential for becoming a Geisha at every opportunity. While Yoshie for the most part tries to take this treatment in stride, at times her rage boils over and manifests itself in almost-superhuman feats of strength. Their lives change when the young heir of the Kagano Steel Manufacturing corporation notices one of these feats, and forces the sisters to become part of his private army of geisha assassins. Accepting their fate, the sisters quickly rise through the ranks of the geisha corps, constantly replacing their human flesh with ever more deadly and bizarre mechanical body-parts and weaponry, each hoping to out-do the other in their ongoing rivalry. | |

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu has Miyokichi, the Femme Fatale of the series in the days before Konatsu. In episode 4 she is seen with maiko hairclips but later she graduates to geisha. | |
