Hadaka Apron

Clothing Definitions — definitions of garments and clothing terms from Apparel Search

Hadaka apron combines the Japanese word hadaka, meaning nude, with the English word apron. It is a niche term from Japanese popular culture for the motif of a person wearing an apron as the sole garment, a standard 'teaser' theme on Japanese illustration websites that aim to suggest without being explicit. The motif was popularized by a segment of the late-night Japanese television show Gilgamesh Night. This page explains the term, its media history, and the related hadaka compound terms.

 
Hadaka apron (裸エプロン), from the Japanese word hadaka, meaning nude, and the English word apron, is the word for a small niche clothing fetish. "Hadaka apron" is used to refer to when a person, usually a woman, wears an apron over a nude, or partially underwear covered, body.

The epitome of the "teaser shot", hadaka apron is extremely popular on Japanese CG artwork websites as a theme, especially for sites which attempt to titillate without being explicitly adult. It is also reported to be very popular in Japan amongst newlyweds as a form of foreplay, and was the subject of several pin up images from the United States in the 1950s.

The popularity of this fetish originates from a segment of the late night Japanese television show Gilgamesh Night, in which AV ("adult video" the Japanese term for direct-to-video pornography) actress Yuki Hitomi would cook while wearing only an apron.

Naked aprons are also featured on the 2003 series Barely Cooking, seen on Citytv. It is a mostly standard cooking show, with a male and female host demonstrating simple recipes while wearing large aprons that cover everything except the buttocks.

Other "hadaka" fetishes include:

  • Hadaka socks / hadaka la socks: naked except for some form of socks
  • Hadaka shoes: naked except for shoes, like a streaker
  • Hadaka tie: naked except for a necktie or bow tie
  • Hadaka ranset: naked except for a specific type of backpack, usually drawn on young looking characters (since a ranset is usually used by children to go to school with)
  • Hadaka ribbon: naked except for ribbons, usually tied to cover like a bikini
