date with my GG. The Japanese girls have very high pitched voices while the men have very low voices. This story is not about the famous sister boys but instead about our Japanese sister named "Peter."

I first learned about Peter while watching television with my GG. We were watching a news special about one of Japan's most popular recording artists and a well know actor. It was her birthday and the studio was giving her a birthday party. I noticed she seemed a little flat but, since most Japanese girls are, I said nothing. Then my girl looked at me and said "she is pretty isn't she?" I agreed and the next thing I heard almost knocked me to the floor. "She is a boy-san." I was filled with complete disbelief because it was the first time I had seen someone that was like me. As the show went on it showed Peter walking down the street and into a recording studio where she was to cut a new record. As soon as I heard her sing I was sure it was a He and not a real She. I asked my girl if she was a homosexual and she said no he just likes to wear girls clothes like me. This made me very happy to find out that I was not the only one in the world that had this feeling. I wrote Playboy magazine to find out more about TVism. They referred me to Chevalier Publications where I found out about TVia and am more than happy I did.

I kept trying to find out as much about Peter as I could and here is as much as I can remember.

Peter is 19 years old and has been dressing since he was about 10. He dresses and looks like a woman but never wears padded bras or tries to hide the fact that he is a male. He started dressing because when he was about 9 years old his friends told him he acted more feminine than mas- culine and so he started to dress like a girl and found he liked it. He started in the recording business about two or three years ago and is becoming one of the most popular young stars in Japan. He has made two movies to my knowledge. In one he plays a girl and the other he plays a boy. He has been on numerous TV shows and now has one of his own. I can say with certainty that he is a TV sister and not a sister boy. I learned quite a lot about him from talk shows and interview shows on TV. I have enclosed a picture of him which I hope can be used so I can show all my U.S. sisters what one of our Japanese sisters looks like. This picture, I might add, is one of the few in which he wears a dress. On all of his TV appearances he wears a pants suit. This is the only picture that I could find in which he wears a dress.
