i'd assume that he is originally supposed to be a [Bishōnen](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bish%C5%8Dnen) character since the main Sekirei Wikipedia page says that Sekirei can also be Bishōnen

Isn't Bishōnen similar to what Hideyoshi and others are like? But Homura has the ability to genetically change genders.

@Sukeibe if your talking about Hideyoshi from Baka and Test yeh kinda but his is taken to an extreme where it's given fan service as if he was a girl as a running gag. as the wikipedia article i linked to says *"Bishōnen is also used to describe an anime or manga character who is drawn as if a female, but has male components."*, changing genders would be a plot mechanic to explain why the writer can make them into a woman whenever they want
