Kousano

Kousano is the femslash ship between Kōyō Ozaki and Akiko Yosano from the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom.

Canon
The two characters have not yet had any cannon interactions. However, both Yosano and Kōyō have relations to Mori Ougai. While Yosano has deeply rooted hatred for Mori, Kōyō has shown her loyalty to him. This could possibly create discord between the two women if they eventually meet in cannon.

Fanon
The reason people start shipping them is that they both have similar backgrounds and personalities. Some people believe that Yosano could show the “light” that Kouyou never had access to, because Yosano herself was shown it with the help of Ranpo. During the time Kouyou studied for the Mafia, she was made to believe that because of her powers, she would never have a chance to go to the light.

An extremely popular headcanon for the two is that they are lesbians because of their personalities. The real-life Akiko Yosano was an extremely influential feminist, and it is highly likely that she was queer, due to the poems she wrote on lesbian love and feminism.

Kousano can be considered a rarepair, because neither parties have met each other in canon. The fandom usually writes their interactions in modern-day AUs, or set before/after the current timeline. It is the 14th most written ship in the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom, on AO3. Yosano's rival ship would be Ranposano, while Kouyou has no significant other ship.
