New Zealand's gender was a topic of interest since initial debut, and Himaruya has been purposely vague on the issue. For example, he drew a sketch of New Zealand asking "Which do you think I am?" and covered New Zealand's chest with their sheep. Some sketches suggested that New Zealand may, in fact, be male, but there was an absence of any gender-specific references or any outright confirmation. In Volume 4, when referring to him in his profile, the word seinen was used. Seinen most often appears in masculine context, but is sometimes used to mean youth or a person in their social and physical growth period. New Zealand's gender was confirmed in a November 2013 blog post which referred to him as a male.
