In the December issue of Anime Insider, the magazine lists its ten favorite manga crossdressers. Kazahaya is one of their choices. (The choices aren't a numbered list.) Here's the text for Kazahaya's entry:
=====================================
Kazahaya Kudo
The Set Up: Pretty-boy psychic Kazahaya and his manly roommate Rikuo Himura have gone up against possessed books, invisible fireflies and shape-shifting cats in their missions for their boss Kakei. But can Kazahaya conquer the utter humiliation of wearing a girl's school uniform?
The Get Up: Recognize it? It's the school uniform of Hinata Asahi, heroine of CLAMP's manga Suki. While his hairdo might not be fashionably girly, at least Kazahaya's got a curvy body to show it off. He'll be charming Rikuo in no time!
=====================================
The article has a picture of Kazahaya dressed in the school uniform. Personally, I liked Kazahaya's Chinese bride outfit better than this one. But then school uniforms have never been my favorites.
If you're curious about the other crossdressers in the list, here they are:
** Isabella (Paradise Kiss, no clear explanation of why he's wearing what he's wearing)
** Syaoran Li (Cardcaptor Sakura, as Sleeping Beauty for the school play)
** Yuki Sohma (Fruits Basket, modeling at the school cultural fair)
** Nuriko (Fushigi Yugi, as part of Hotohori's harem)
** Satoshi Hiwatari (D-N-Angel, dressed for a role in a commercial)
** Mitsuo Shiozu (Eerie Queerie!, pretending to be a maid in order to earn money)
** Shuichi Shindou (Gravitation, believes that Yuki will like him better if he's dressed as a girl)
** Makoto Narita (W Juliet, pretending to be female to convince his father that he can be a good actor)
** Arakune (Angel Sanctuary, has the heart of a woman despite his male body)
