Himedanshi (姫男子, "princess boy") is a Japanese slang term for male fans of yuri media. The term is a mirror to "fujoshi" (female fans of yaoi). It is said to be derived from the yuri anthology Yuri Hime.[1] An older meaning of "himedanshi" is slang for a gay man who is "neko" (feminine or submissive).[2]
The term seems to have arisen in 2011-2012.[3]
