- Number 20 Water Prince — Coat

Introduction: The Legacy of the "Number" Series For enthusiasts of Japanese gay video (Bara and Boy’s Love live-action genres), the studio COAT Corporation needs no introduction. Since its inception in the early 1990s, COAT has been a cornerstone of the industry, known for its high production values, curated casting of young, athletic "idol-like" talents, and a vast library of themed series.

Thus, Number 20 WATER PRINCE focuses on models who embody the ideal of a swimming club prince—athletic but not bulky, graceful, and possessing a "cool beauty" that contrasts with the passionate, sweaty aesthetic of other COAT lines like Babylon or Power Grip . The primary reason this volume remains a talking point is its cast. While COAT often obscures real names behind aliases, the models in Number 20 became legends—several of whom either became exclusive COAT stars or transitioned to mainstream Japanese entertainment (in a limited, often uncredited fashion).

Among their most legendary sub-series is the collection. Unlike their more hardcore or fetish-specific lines, the Number series is often treated as a "premium" label—featuring magazine-style photoshoot aesthetics, romantic (or aggressively stylized) narratives, and the launchpad for some of the biggest stars in the genre’s history.
