It's pretty common to see these litteral girly men on TV and most media outlets in Japan. I feel bombarded by these "traps" nearly every time I turn on the TV now. Some of them are admittedly attractive but it's just wrong.
Last year I watched a TV show that had a mock beauty show for teen males who dressed up as women. There were some really good ones on the show, even better than some of the real females in the audience that were cooing and aweing at every skirt wearing boy.
There's a really popular one named Haruna Ai that is on TV often. It was born male and grew up male but now he's got tits and may or may not have his junk still. I actually think he's kind of funny but he really acts too girly even for ladie's standards. He makes a pretty convincing woman when he doesn't get too upset and drops his voice a few octaves... He is in the "newhaafu" class of people. We'd call these people transvestites outside of Japan. But our view of Transvestites in America are usually associated with the horrors presented in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
EDIT: This is Haruna Ai. I totally forgot he won an international beauty contest last year too. The pride of Japan folks! :D
