People who are part of the genderless subculture are known as "genderless men" (ジェンダーレス男子, jendāresu danshi) or "genderless women" (ジェンダーレス女子, jendāresu joshi), who dress androgynously without conforming to societal gender norms.

The genderless subculture is seen as a rejection of traditional gender roles. Unlike in the West, t he subculture is more associated with fashion than sexuality or gender identity, and is not considered to be a person attempting to "pass" as the opposite gender,

or declaring themselves gay or transgender.

Masafumi Monden, a researcher from the University of Technology Sydney, as well as several genderless men, have reasoned that this is because Japanese society puts a clear separation between appearance and sexuality.

However, some men have stated that being part of the genderless subculture has made them more accepting of other sexualities.

Unisex fashion for men has also been expressed through anime and manga.

Modern genderless fashion originated in the Harajuku district of Tokyo. The earliest influence is JW Anderson's Fall 2013 collection, of which featured male models in feminine clothing during its showcase. By 2015, genderless fashion gained popularity in Japan.

It and drew heavy influences from the androgynous styling of South Korean K-pop boy bands,

Influential figures for the genderless subculture are actor and model Toman;  model and media personality Ryuchell;   and media personality Genking. One of the few notable figures for genderless women in media is actor and model Satsuki Nakayama; however, there are fewer genderless women in entertainment compared to genderless men.

Most fans of genderless men are young girls.

The first instance of the term "genderless men" appeared in 2015 to describe Toman.

In 2017, En Coton, a tailoring company, opened an online service called Madam M, claiming to be the first clothing repair store for LGBT people in Tokyo, with options for "genderless" custom orders.

In addition to genderless people appearing in entertainment, several genderless men have appeared as characters in media, such as Cecile no Mokuromi (2017) and My Androgynous Boyfriend (2018).

In 2018, the magazine Da Vinci cited Kuranosuke Koibuchi from Princess Jellyfish, Oscar François de Jarjayes from The Rose of Versailles (1972), Marie-Joseph Sanson from Innocent (2013), Tetsuo from Yūreitō (2011), Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran High School Host Club (2003), Sailor Uranus from Sailor Moon (1991), Ukyo Kuonji from Ranma ½ (1987), Sapphire from Sapphire: Princess Knight (2008), Kyubei Yagyu from Gin Tama (2003) as retrospective examples of genderless characters in manga.
