Hot Teacher

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
I'm sorry, this isn't the set for America's Next Top Model?

Exactly What It Says on the Tin, the Hot Teacher is a young and attractive person who pursues a career in education. Because Beauty Equals Goodness, he is almost always also a Cool Teacher, though Hentai series like to subvert this by making him evil or a sadist.

Male versions of this character tend towards wearing Stoic Spectacles, whereas female versions usually have a Hot Librarian appeal. While not exactly a teacher, the School Nurse also technically qualifies for this trope, being school staff and usually sharing a similar dynamic with the principal cast. School nurses, of course, tend to go for the Hot Scientist or Hospital Hottie look.

It should be noted that a Hot Teacher is not necessarily Hot for Student, though if the show does feature a Teacher-Student Romance, the elder party is very likely to be this trope. Similarly, many Hot Teachers find that quite a few of their opposite-sex students (or same, we're not picky) -- sometimes even the entire student base — are indeed hot for them. How this affects the students' ability to pay attention to the lessons is a good question, too.

Examples of Hot Teacher include:

Anime and Manga

  • The trope image is Kuniumi Maitake from Lovely Complex, an impossibly over-the-top Parody of the trope.
  • Ichimoku Ren and Hone-Onna spend most of the third season of Hell Girl disguised as such.
  • Takahata D. Takamichi from Mahou Sensei Negima. Also the protagonist Negi, if you ask any girl or woman he's ever met.
    • Apparently just to cover one more fetish we've briefly seen Evangeline in the outfit, at a chalkboard, lecturing Negi and Konoka.
  • A somewhat unconventional example is Amamiya Akira from Ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two., who's got a very Bishonen design but is also clearly much older than most other examples.
  • Yoko Littner briefly works as one after the timeskip in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. There's no point in spoilering that anymore; because of all the fanservice omake pics floating around, anyone not familiar with the show only knows her as the Hot Teacher.
  • Any number of hentai series feature a hot School Nurse who's all too willing to help the students with their sexual problems, and - as mentioned in the entry proper - another stock hentai character is the hot male teacher who gets a little carried away with alternatively punishing or rewarding his students.
  • Nozomu Itoshiki of Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei who has the requisite Stoic Spectacles. And for a female example, Chie Arai, who pretty much fills the school nurse role mentioned above (technically she's a guidance councilor).
  • Any of the 5 teachers in Happy Lesson who adopt Chitose as his "mama".
  • Mitsuka Yoshimine from DearS, Takeya's teacher, who has the kids practice english by reading erotic books she wrote and has her own section of home movies. She also falls under Hot for student as she believed that a study group was going to have an orgy, disappointed that she had dance classes.
  • Kanda from Code Breaker
  • Fujitaka Kinomoto, Yoshiyuki Terada and Kaho Mizuki (this one is a hot assistant teacher, and lampshaded by the whole class on her introduction) in Cardcaptor Sakura. All of them are involved to one degree or another in Hot for Teacher situations, whether played straight or subverted.
  • Shinichi Namura and Ryouko Momoi from Marmalade Boy.
  • Akiko Aoshika of Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest.
  • Mathematics and homeroom teacher Vera Collins from Heroman. The drill hair is a little odd, but you have to admit, she's still sexy. What makes her stand out in the anime category is the fact that she's an American.
  • Oh hai, Nyamo! Sorta fitting that a gym teacher would be in shape (and what a lovely shape, too...). Yukari too, though her personality can tend to turn people off.
  • Being the master of the Hiten-Mitsurugi Ryu, 43-year old yet very handsome Hiko Seijuro should count.
  • Yoshinoya from Hidamari Sketch
  • Marie from Soul Eater.
  • Raphael from Tenshi ni Narumon
  • In The World God Only Knows, Keima's homeroom teacher Nikaido. Also Jun, the student teacher that Keima had to court in order to capture the runaway spirit in her.
  • Mizuho Kazami from Please Teacher!. That series milks the trope for all it's worth and more.
  • Shizuka Nekonome from Rosario + Vampire probably qualifies. An Omake reveals she doesn't wear a bra.
  • Hinako of Ranma ½... half of the time. Whenever she isn't a Hot Teacher, she's in her other form that gives her the personality and body of a child.
  • Azusa Kikukawa from Kurobara Alice would be this if she loosened up both in looks and attitude. Kouya still finds him beautiful.
  • Nasujima-sensei from Durarara!! Even though he lusts after teenage schoolgirls. In fact, if it weren't for his perversion, he'd actually have fangirls. He's an older example, but is an example , nonetheless.
  • Mr. Izumi from Zodiac PI, who happens to be a Bishonen teacher, very well liked by his pupils. Did I neglect to mention he also kidnaps his students?
  • Keiju Tabuki from Mawaru Penguindrum.
  • Ayane "Ayanecchi" Tezuka from Rouge Noir is the very rare protagonist example.
  • Megane Koichi Azuma from Kimi to Boku
  • Luuhi Jiston from Nyaruko: Crawling with Love becomes this later on in the light novels. Bonus points for being a Moe Anthropomorphism of Cthulhu.
  • To LOVE-Ru has Mikado, the school nurse, and more recently Tearju-sensei.
  • Highschool of the Dead has Shizuka, the school nurse, who is also The Ditz and takes Impossibly Low Neckline to a whole new level.
  • Shura Kirigakure from Blue Exorcist, a Hot Amazon with Boobs of Steel and a skimpy outfit, paying attention in her class is rarely a problem, just make sure you concentrate on what you're supposed to because she is a beast when angry, and able to engage and slay the demons of Gehenna with ease.
  • In the manga version of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the Slifer Red overseer is Midori Hibiki, a total babe who is, in fact, the sister of Jaden's mentor Koyo Hibiki. The trope is rarely brought up, however, usually depicting her as a Cool Big Sis to Jaden.

Film

  • The eponymous character from Indiana Jones has his fair share of Fangirls that attend the class he teaches at Barnett College, including one who wrote "I love you" on her eyelids.
  • Kick-Ass has sexual fantasies about his MILF-quality English teacher. She seems at least somewhat aware of him staring at her cleavage, but nothing comes of it.

Literature

  • From Holes, we have Miss Katherine, whom many of the townfolk was after.
  • Mrs. Alowo in Someone Elses War.
  • Ms. Honey in Matilda is apparently so lovely that she inspires Matilda to compose a poem about her the first day of class.
  • Pyramids has Lady T'malia, an infamous poisoner, teaching a class in the Assassin Guild. Which doubled as an extra challenge:

The boys were learning. As she talked they didn't watch her figure. They watched her fingers.

  • The School in Carmarthen has Dian Mac Cécht and Rhiannon – both ancient Celtic gods with the looks to match; they, however, only have eyes for each other. A downplayed case is Dr. Mac Cárthaigh, who is in charge of measuring the female students' "capacity for love" on entry.

Live-Action TV

  • In Doctor Who, the Tenth Doctor gets a stint at this when he's temporarily turned human in the two-parter "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood", where he's a boarding school professor called John Smith.
  • Will on Glee. "You'd be number one with a bullet."
  • Big Time Rush, episode "Big Time School of Rocque. Miss Collins.
  • iCarly: Miss Ackerman. Turns up to the Shay apartment in a smoking hot red dress, that causes Carly to say Woah, you look hot, and then Freddie to practically drool all over the floor when he shows up after. This was season 1 Freddie, as in barely hit puberty Freddie. That's how hot she was.
  • In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Robin Wood, the principal of Sunnydale High in season seven. (Heh heh, his name's wood.) Faith sleeps with him later in the season, and while she's not technically a student, she's on the team with the former students of Sunnydale High, so it sort of counts. Also Miss Calendar
    • Substitute teacher Ms. French in the episode Teacher's Pet has all the boys drooling over her. Even Giles admits that she's "extremely well proportioned." Turns out she's taking virgin boys home, mating with them, and biting off their heads. Because she's actually a giant praying mantis.
  • Leave It to Beaver had Beaver's teachers Ms. Canfield and Ms. Landers.
  • Prof. Slater in Community. She was officially ranked the seventh most attractive faculty member by the Dean.
  • This is the opinion that much of the female student body has of Coach Brock in Fifteen Love. School president Bates is generally too feared and/or loathed to get this treatment, but he's not hard on the eyes either.
  • Chance from Noah's Arc is this, having a student and teachers aide pursue him as well as being fanservice in his own right the few times we see him shirtless. Note that though he is the oldest of the main four cast, hes still quite young for a college professor in his position.
  • Ximena in Carrusel. She may dress conservatively and comfortably, but more than one boy has a crush on her. Also add Susana and Rene, who were attractive and had plenty of student fans.
  • Power Rangers Dino Thunder: Tommy Oliver. To his embarrassment, several of his female students are Hot for Teacher. Oy.

  • "Abigail Beecher" by Freddy 'Boom Boom' Cannon.

Newspaper Comics

  • In a May 2016 story arc in Curtis, the protagonist is surprised when the most well-behaved straight-A female students girls start getting sent to the principal's office.

Curtis admits that Washington "looks like a movie-star athlete brain surgeon billionaire."
  • In Zits, Jeremy has an attractive guidance counselor, and often has some rather explicit fantasies about her. Not by choice; in one strip where this happens, when she asks him what's on his mind, he asks, "Can't we just talk about my schedule instead?"
