AKIRA's Gender-Bender "Kaneda" #fanart by Kim Tae Myung

Akira's "KANEDA" gets a gender-swap, courtesy of Kim Tae Myung (pixiv.net / kimtaemyung1010@gmail.com ), with 2 "versions" showcased here: the "clean"-colored (above) and an "enhanced" version (below) FTW.


I'm wondering if the live-action Hollywood adaptation might do character gender-swapping, if not for primaries Kaneda or Tetsuo, then someone else in the cast?
