Abstract
In the decades following the emergence of what are now called queer studies, LGBT studies and lesbian and gay studies, Japan has seen a flourishing production of scholarship exploring gender, whether cross-disciplinary or hailing from the fields of history, sociology and literature. Analysing the origins of these new fields of inquiry will provide a clear understanding of the concept of gender, how it is used within academic circles and how the LGBTQ viewpoints irrigating certain feminist and activist movements were shaped. In turn, this will reveal the links between gender, LGBT and queer studies, and how gender studies is linked to the history of Japanese feminism.
