They've shown, on YTV, all the "evidence" you'll ever need to see to know that Shippo's a boy, though I don't think that "evidence" was shown on Cartoon Network.

Not that there's much to see "down there". It looked like just a little bump, but I was shocked that YTV actually showed it...

There are also a couple episodes out there that are of the "filler" variety where Shippo spoiler[falls in love with a couple different girls (maybe Miroku really is a bad influence).]

I also seem to recall a couple of times Shippo referring to himself as his father's son, of course these tend to be moments when he needs to buck up and do what needs to be done.

You'll also notice the older brother/little brother relationship between Shippo and Inuyasha. Their relationship makes much more sense than if Shippo was a girl.

I do believe that episode where Shippo was naked was shown on Cartoon Network, and it was just that little "bump" there.

I don't remember that at all, but I guess with so many episodes it is easy to forget something.

I think it's in the second movie here Shippo is shown naked and in a hot spring with Kagome and Sango. Shippo may appear naked in one of the earlier episodes, but Adult Swim on Carton Network won't ever show that.

Shippo may be voiced by a woman, but the character is male.

Well I know that they showed Gohan naked on Dragon Ball Z a coulple weeks ago, so they can defiently get away with it on AS.

Good question, BoygetsfireD, and .Sy is right on the money with his response.

If there was a scene with either Kagome or Sango or both in a hot spring, could the makers of the series get away with showing Miroku or InuYasha or both in the hot spring with them? Even if such a scene exists in the series shown in Japan, could Adult Swim or YTV get away with including such a scene on this side of the Pacific Ocean?

It was easy to include Shippo in such a scene-- Shippo is too young to be even thinking like a lecher, so that disqualifies Miroku. Shippo doesn't look scary, so that disqualifies InuYasha. Why Miyoga isn't around at times like these, though, remains a mystery to me.

That is so true. Shippo is a little kid. It's just like when your Mom took you to the ladies room because you were too small to go to the men's room by yourself. And yes, Shippo is a boy because there was one episode where he had a crush on girl. In fact he had two episodes with girls his age. And the older ladies seem to like that cutie fox demon.
