Uke

Uke is the person on the bottom in anime hentai, especially yaoi. Literally, it means "to receive." The equivalent for top is seme. Some fans dislike the term as portraying a sexist notion of relationships and its unsavory prevalance in some rape fantasy doujinshi.

Uke are generally younger characters who are shorter, younger, or otherwise have an appearance slightly more 'cuddly' than handsome.

Although similarties appear in yuri fandom, the term is generally not used to refer to female characters.


Uke is a shortened version of the word ukulele.

UKE
Anonymous - May 26th, 2006
The uke, on the other hand, is the counter part of seme. Uke are tend to be more gentle, cuter and stubborn. In most cases, uke are found to be easily bullied, kidnapped, hurt and raped. They always have this demon power to unknowingly seduce the seme's and tend to fall too much in love. Uke's are usually kind-hearted but rough and combative ukes also exists. These kind of ukes act all tough and mighty but turns into jello at the arms of the seme.
