Naginatas Are Feminine | comment |
A naginata is a Japanese polearm similar to a glaive, characterized by a long, curved blade with a handguard. In Japanese works especially, naginatas are a common weapon for a female close-range fighter. In works that don't stress the relatively subtle difference between weapons, it may be generalized to simply "spear" rather than a naginata. In terms of fighting ability, a naginata is no more or less suitable a weapon for a woman than a katana. Both are weapons that favor skill and training over brute strength. So why is one more feminine than the other? Naginatas are battlefield weapons, while katanas are self defense weapons. It’s the difference between a pistol and a rifle — a katana is like a pistol: less effective, but you can carry it with you at all times. A naginata is like a rifle: you only bring it if you intend to use it. Since women in feudal Japan were expected to keep the home, it was not an issue for them to always have a naginata at hand. Add in the connotations of purity and fragility that fighting from farther away implies, and you end up with a very "feminine" weapon (that is still capable of disemboweling a person with one good swing). Can be considered a downplayed version of Guys Smash, Girls Shoot, in that the woman in question is still using a melee weapon, but one that maintains a reasonable distance and requires much less brutal, close-quarters combat fighting than a sword, axe, or mace would. The aforementioned length of the naginata also reduces the negative effect of a shorter woman's lower reach compared to a man. This has its roots in Japanese history. Though naginatas were common weapons among the spearmen of commoner infantry divisions, they also found a place as a symbol of status for samurai's wives. A young noblewoman was trained in the naginata as a weapon to defend the home of her future husband, especially during the violent and treacherous Sengoku Period. Naginatas were often part of a samurai woman or onna-musha's dowry, and a girl skilled in the naginata was considered quite the attractive bride to potential suitorsnote More precisely, the weapon rose to prominence in the Genpei War and saw plenty of use in the hands of male warriors for years until the yari spear became more popular in the later Sengoku period, after which the naginata became relegated solely to the use of samurai's wives and gained its iconic image, particularly during the peaceful Edo period. Being a submissive wife but a stalwart defender of the home was considered the embodiment of the Yamato Nadeshiko ideal. This association with nobility and femininity is the reason the naginata is a common weapon of choice for a Lady of War. Of course, there's some Values Dissonance with this not being a Discredited Trope due to its origins. It's like how Textile Work Is Feminine could just casually appear in one of the most famous recent films in Japan when it just reaches parody levels elsewhere. Even to this day, atarashii naginata is a common after-school activity in Japan, though now young girls practice kendo and archery more often, compared to before. Oftentimes the naginata-user is contrasted by a man (or boyish girl) who uses a more traditional weapon, highlighting the femininity inherent in this trope. Contrast A Thicket of Spears and Jousting Lance for more military and stereotypically masculine uses of naginatas and other polearms. Examples |

Sengoku Basara has a few examples: Oichi, Oda Nobunaga's demure sister, used a double-bladed naginata that can separate into two naginatas for Dual Wielding before she moved on to relying solely on summoning shadow arms. Matsu uses a naginata and has been described as "the ideal housewife". |

Soun Tendo of Ranma ½ is most frequently seen using a naginata, at least in the anime. This is both a play on the fact he's the most emotional (indeed, hysterical) person in the cast, and on the fact that one of the most prominent classical schools of naginatajutsu is named "Tendo-ryu." | |

In Summer Wars, when extremely angered, Granny Sakae picks up a naginata hanging on the wall and uses it to threaten her wayward son, and shows some considerable skill in wielding it, especially given her age. It fits her characterization as a traditional Japanese matriarch. Unfortunately, she is very elderly, and swinging that thing around even for a few seconds takes quite a toll on her body. | |

Arena of Valor: Actually inverted. There's a naginata user named Ryoma, but he's basically a classical Japanese rugged and manly man, complete with beard and alternate skins like being a Yakuza. On the other hand, there's also a Japanese Master Swordsman named Tachi, he used a katana and... he's an long haired effeminate Dude Looks Like a Lady voiced by a female in the Japanese dub. Therefore, in Athanor, naginata is for the manly and rugged warrior, while the feminine warrior uses a katana. | |

Blue Eye Samurai. Ironically it was Mizu's husband who first demonstrated to her the usefulness of the naginata, saying it's old fashioned but useful when you're outnumbered. In that same episode we discover the metal plates present-day Mizu wears wrapped around her legs and arms can be curled up and connected together to form the handle of an improvised naginata, which she uses when outnumbered by the Thousand Claws whose Wolverine Claws she can easily outrange with this weapon. Mizu also plays with this trope in that while she is a woman, she also isn't particularly feminine. | |

High School Of The Dead has a subversion in Rei Miyamoto, who looks like she'll play the trope straight... but those who look closely will notice that she's not in the naginatajutsu club of her school, in the soujutsu one (which is kind of unusual for high schools). So, technically, her initial weapon of choice is a yari rather than a naginata. | |

A cultural convention very similar to this crops up briefly in the Codex Alera, where it is mentioned that spears are the traditional weapon of females (especially those of high rank) in the Canim warrior caste. The Canim in general also have a feudal culture and martial ethos that, while not identical to that of feudal Japan, bears strong similarities to it. | |

In Fire Emblem Fates, characters from the Japan-influenced Hoshido have naginatas in the place where the Europe-influenced Nohr has lances. 6 of the 9 characters that wield naginatas immediately upon recruitment are female, and the males that wield them include an Expy of a female character from Awakening and an effeminate Bishōnen that the tie-in card game invoked Dude Looks Like a Lady on (Subaki) note [On the third route, there's a secret character from Hoshido that can wield naginatas immediately, but this is because he's a master of the entire weapon triangle. Furthermore, on the one route where his boss appearance doesn't have him wielding all three weapon types, it's the naginata that's missing.] (This is only a technicality, of course, as Nohrian lances and Hoshidan naginatas are interchangeable in gameplay terms and Nohrians with lances lean 6-4 in favor of males.) | |

In a transliteration for Pathfinder, the western cousin to this weapon, the glaive, is the sacred weapon of Shelyn, Goddess of Love and Beauty, who is worshipped both in the western continents of Avistan (corresponding to Europe) and Garund (Africa) and in the eastern continent of Tian Xia. Strangely the actual naginata is favored by a male deity, Fumeiyoshi, the Tien god of undeath and dishonor. | |

The only woman of the four, Zoe the Amazon, specializes in spears and other similar pole weapons with long reach, unlike the three male characters who mostly use somewhat shorter swords, clubs and axes. Among the weapons available for Zoe, two are actually a "Naginata" and a "Heavy Naginata". | |

Referenced, but ultimately subverted in Gamaran with the Tengen Ryuu of Naginata jutsu. Even if one character says that "the naginata is a weak weapon, only women use it" and another one teases his naginata-wielding opponent saying that it's a weapon for sissies, Baian Maki and his master Toujou Shungaku notes (and demonstrate) that a properly wielded naginata can become the strongest and most versatile melee weapon of all. To drive the point home it's worth mentioning that Toujou is one of the strongest warriors of the Muhou School and likely of the whole series. | |

Hideyoshi Kinoshita's Summoned Beast from Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts wields a naginata, though he is actually male. Given his personality, behavior, and appearance, however, it still equates the naginata with femininity. His upgraded Summoned Beast ditches the naginata in favor of a katana. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Most members of the all-female Gerudo tribe in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask wield naginatas. Those who don't dual-wield scimitars instead. Inverted in 'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Ganondorf is a tall, muscular man who carries a naginata instead of the traditional trident. Impa is associated with these weapons in games outside the main canon. In Hyrule Warriors, the naginata is Impa's second weapon. In Cadence of Hyrule, she is equipped with spear-class weapons, and the best of them is "Impa's Naginata." |

Averted in Touken Ranbu due to the fact that the game has an all-male cast, and the only Naginata at first was Iwatooshi, who is a boisterous Blood Knight. The second naginata introduced, Tomoegata Naginata, is meant as a Anthropomorphic Personification of types of naginata used mainly by women, but outside of his looks, he doesn't act or sound that feminine. | |

A western fantasy example in Tamora Pierce's Tortall Universe books, specifically the Protector of the Small books. Keladry is trained in them, and her mother once helped hold off a pirate invasion with one. They're specifically mentioned as a weapon woman train in the Yamani isles, which are based on Japan. Should be noted that Keladry is considered masculine by Tortall standards (being the first female Knight after Alanna) but is also very deadly with it. She later teaches a bunch of orphans of both genders how to use a spear improvised to be like one to fight with them. Quite a few people comment on them, particularly on how deadly they look — and how fast Kel is with them. | |

Inverted in One Piece: Whitebeard, one of the manliest mennote Indeed, he actually refuses to let women into his crew as anything except medics. in a series that already runs on testosterone and the World's Strongest Man uses a naginata. Well, more accurately, a bisento. The blade is shorter, but wider compared to a naginata. With "shorter" being relative since his spear is sized to match his 6.7 meter (22 feet) height. Hannyabal is another inversion. His weapon of choice is a naginata called Kessui, but the last adjective one would describe him with is "feminine". In the Totland arc, Queen chess soldiers are armed with double-bladed naginata. |

In Fate/Grand Order the whole reason why Kiyohime's Summer Lancer version exists is so that she can be a yandere version of this trope. Jaguar Warrior's third and final ascensions go from a silly cat costume and a paw-on-a-stick to a stylish black pantsuit and a naginata. Naturally, as one of Japan's Trope Maker of Lady of War/Onna Bugeisha, Tomoe Gozen uses a naginata that she sets on fire, if she's not shooting you with flaming arrows or doing submission holds. |

In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the only enemies that wield traditional naginatas are the all-female Okami Warriorsnote the also-female Corrupted Monk wields what seems to be a cross between a traditional naginata and a nagamaki called "O-naginata", and a small handful of monks found in Senpou Temple wield double-bladed naginatas. Somewhat justified by the late Sengoku setting; as noted in the page description, the yari was the favored polearm for most armies during this period, and it's implied that the primary reason the Okami still favor the naginata is because they've been living largely isolated from the rest of Japan for at least a few centuries or so. | |

Mobile Fighter G Gundam: The Rising Gundam, based off of the main character's Shining Gundam, is designed with a heat naginata rather than the original's beam sabers (as well as a Rising Arrow rather than a Shining Finger). While theoretically built for a male pilot, it winds up being piloted only by Domon's partner and love interest Rain Mikamura, in her and Allenby's Designated Girl Fight and is associated with Rain in merchandise and video games.
