The Mystery of Tissue Hime
Written by Jeshii on 2008.12.03 – 16:47 -
In my never ending quest to expose all of the craziness on ニコニコ動画 (NicoNicoDouga) to the English-speaking world, I present you with the interesting character, ティッシュ姫 (“Tissue” Hime).
ティッシュ姫 is an amazing bass player (although no match for the guy from Ninja Academy!) who plays your typical ニコ動 selections, from ハルヒ stuff (hence the costume) to 初音ミク songs. ティッシュ姫 has gotten pretty big recently, from playing bass for a commercial to being in this video for メルト with slick production values.
But, even more than the music, there is one nagging question everyone asks, from ２ちゃん to Yahoo! Answers…
Is ティッシュ姫 a guy or a girl?
The official answer is 「姫」 (“Princess”) apparently. A good majority of the net is on the side of thinking it is a dude, but there is a small core of firm believers who say that ティッシュ姫 is a chick. The one side will say “look at his hands!” and the other will say “look at her thighs!”
I’m going to stay out of it, as I’m of the belief that it doesn’t matter either way. The mystery is part of the fun.
For some more ディッシュ action, check out more videos on ニコ動 or YouTube.

I you haven’t seen in her Dont Say “Lazy” video, she has the appearance of a woman. I personaly think she is woman because of her eyes.

I think she’s female. Not just because of her appearance but because of her posture… she sits in a girly way. Also agreeingwith Cvy. Her eyes are also rather girly.

Tissue Hime is a guy, and it’s been official for a long time too. Even in some of his nico lives (webcam), he talks to the people (still with his mask on, but you hear his voice, which is clearly masculine).
