1) Because she's the sexiest Tuxedo Kamen they've had yet. 2) Why not?

Because in Japan the more you look like a female, the more manly you are Laughing

Ie. all-female theater, which, coincidentally enough, Rei turned out to be a secret fangirl of, in one S episode. Shocked

Also, some female members have a bit Boyish Style on them.

Also, Naruto's VA is a female. It is also not that special in this industry

Btw, these Witches, has some Indian Vibes on them.

Both Naoko Takeuchi and Kunihiko Ikuhara are fans of Takarazuka. Very Happy We actually owe the relationship between Uranus and Neptune to Takarazuka, which had eye-opening effects about the malleability of both gender roles and relationships for a number of artists, including Osamu Tezuka. :3
