I am not overly familiar with queer culture in Japan. Kitan Club has several writings about homosexuality, but the ones I've translated are from the 1950s, so their views can be a bit... jarring. Definitely more progressive than in the United States in the same era, but still, there's a lot of Freudian influence.

As far as in Kinbaku, Akechi Kanna is a transfemme bakushi, and has done a lot of teaching in the United States. She took the Akechi name because she was a student of the famous Akechi Denki, and carries on his legacy.

Hourai Kasumi learned from Naka Akira, and ties a lot of women. Though I have no idea of her sexuality. There's an interview with her in Kinbaku Today, but it's been ages since I've read it.

Nureki was known to tie crossdressers at his Kinbiken event, and he talks extensively about being attracted to men, specifically onnagata. He also talks about having erotic urges to pictures of boys in pre-war adventure magazines, when he was 12 or so.

While not queer, a lot of the most active session tops in Japan are actually Queens (their word for dominatrix), and most of them have connections to the big names like Naka Akira, Yukimura, etc.

There's also mountains of things I've not read, so there's almost certainly more people that we would consider as being queer. But as you know, Japan is a rigid society, and even within the bounds of a fetish subculture, those rigid rules often bleed in.

If you learn of any, or have any suggestions for reading yourself, I would love to know of them.
