Hanako from Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun is a male version of Hanako-san, a well-known Japanese urban legend.Strike Witches, which features gender flipped versions of real life WWII Ace Pilots.Just one slight difference from reality: "Simo Häyhä" is a teenage girl who looks outrageously similar to Sinon. A manga called Shiroi Majo was released in 2014 which features Simo Häyhä in the middle of the Winter War in 1939.In The Seven Deadly Sins, which takes cues from the King Arthur mythos, Merlin is a young looking woman that wears very revealing clothes.
Ooku: The Inner Chambers does this to Shogunate Japan from the reign of Iemitsu on, with three exceptions: the original Shogun Iemitsu, who died young and is replaced by his daughter, who takes on his name and reign, The 47 Ronin, who (mostly) stay all male, and Shogun Ienari, becoming the first male shogun in decades.This also applies to regular character Kyuubei, whose entire gimmick is that she was Raised as the Opposite Gender (ending up similar to the gender of her historical counterpart Juubei), and an arc that has her changing to match that counterpart genderbends everyone else along with her. Gintama: Kijima Matako and Imai Nobume are women, but their original historical counterparts Kijima Matabei and Imai Noburou respectively are male.The Thule Society's Dietlinde Eckhart, the Big Bad of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa, is based on and named after real life (and male) Thule Society member Dietrich Eckart.Battle Girls: Time Paradox does this for the Sengoku period, the same as Koihime, Strike Witches and Hyakka Ryouran.Actually, the last two are female too: Hanbei uses a male Familiar to act as her personage, while Nagamasa is being a Sweet Polly Oliver. For example, the eponymous character and Imagawa Yoshimoto are female, while Saitou Dousan, Takenaka Hanbei, and Asai Nagamasa remains male. The Ambition of Oda Nobuna is yet another Gender Flip take on Warring States period, but only partially.
