Yeah, this rumor has been going around for some time. I would say it probably started out as a joke and later escalated into something that people thought had some actually credibility for whatever silly reason.

Really, you don't have to so much as look at Kuja's original design and CG model to realize he was quite clearly always intended to be male. Marilyn Manson looks more feminine then he does.

Well, they tried to, anyways. They just wound up making them incestuous lesbians.


But yeah, Kuja is not among the ranks of those whose gender was bent in translation. He was a He in the Japanese as well.

Well where ever I look Kuja is referred as a he, but looking at his body he definately looks like he has a females body.

Yep agreed he is from a different planet and therefore can be half male/female.

Theres no need for that language. SS.

Don't be so fucking ridiculous.

There'll always be a 'pretty' boy in the world whether you like it or not, and Kuja is no exception to that. Alright, so he was actually created this way, but is it so hard you people to accept that he has the slightest ounce of femininity in his character? Jesus Christ, grow up guys.

Because he was the main antagonist of the story, and the villain never wins.

Wikpedia can't be trusted all that well, as a havey based fan could have just made that. I can easily believe Kuja was female in the orginal Japense version. Because of sensorship laws many things that come to the U.S. get changed or just never came out. Flame of Recca for example because of some flashing that occured mainly in the begining we will never see it. So if Kuja remained female in the game, just the way he acted towards Garnet most like would have been considered lesbianism. So instead of banning a FF game which would have cause way to much of an uproar the developers make Kuja a male for the American release.

Kuja definitely has the look of a female yet it was defined throughout the game that Kuja is a male
