lol, tsukino usagi from ’sailormoon’ sounds like a sensible candidate for a doji. other characters (regardless of the gender part of your definition) might include nana in the manga/anime/movies ‘NANA’, the lead girl from ‘fruits basket’; ‘zettai kareshi’’s heroine, the little leading dude from ‘yakitake!! japan’, etc. i know there are tonnes more but nothing else comes to mind right now…

i’ve read/watched too many japanese manga or their adaptations so i’ve forgotten a lot of their character names, sorry… -_-;; the pattern usually goes that girls tend to be more ‘doji’ish than guys tho, especially in teen shoujo manga, hehe~

thanks for adding another vocab into my life. i think im pretty ‘doji’ myself, tho i’m not sure if i can describe my clumsiness/goofiness as anything remotely cute, haha~ XD

I agree with you on the clumsy thing. A song that I liked maybe 6 or 7 years ago had a line 張り切った日
ヒール履いて大ドジ, so I always took that to mean she was clumsy because she was wearing heels. But I could be wrong.

Hey glad you commented Peter!

The Wikipedia article also mentions…

Not sure of the official manga translation, but that’s what the direct translation is!

First of all, congratulation on your blog, i read it often but i’v never made a post before, but this time I just had to.

“Does anyone know any other manga characters that are probably ドジっ娘? ”

Definitely, Tenma Tsukamoto from School Rumble. Perfect match to the description :P
