Amabie's gender

[edit]

During my revision, I removed references of identifying "amabie" as a "she"
It is true that amabie is shown with long hair, unlike the amabiko examples, and -biko (-hiko) does indicate a male name.
So it is rather convincing and make logical sense, but it needs explicit statement on gender from commentators, which I have not found yet.

The Japanese equivalent for "mermaid" is ningyo (), literally "human+fish", and does not necessarily connote female.--Kiyoweap (talk) 18:12, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
