Man-Woman Character (Controllable Sex Change)

Hiya! I'm back with a nutty topic again... Controllable sex change!
I'm looking for a manga character (pref. protagonist) that can become EITHER MALE OR FEMALE based on CHOICE, like, they can turn into one or the other. I mean actual physical transformation, here - not just cross-dressing or body-swapping.
It would also be great if they honestly didn't care about which form they were assuming, aside from its utility factor. (Like, need to seduce a womanizing cop for information? Turn into a woman. Need to tower over some yakuza punk? Turn into a man.) Lack of attachment to their own physical form is a definite plus.
Example: The demon from Tokage, who's a really hot chick with a lizard tattoo, except that s/he's also a really hot guy sometimes. They're both so hot that it kind of blows my mind, so I thought... Why not try to find more characters that have the best of both worlds? 😀 Also, the demon doesn't seem to care one way or another, which makes it (him? her?) even hotter.
Um. Your suggestion doesn't have to be hot, though. Main things: Controllable sex change AND indifference to form.
EDIT: Another possible candidate! The man/woman from White Dragon, but I'm not sure yet if it's physical transformation or just really good cross-dressing. Anyone care to confirm? At any rate, so far (1st volume that I've read), s/he seems to indifferent to form, which I'm interested in anyway.

Here's a oneshot that works... it's called Ningyo Ouji. Just to warn you though it is a smut manga... so if you don't want that sorry... Oh, the character that changes is on the info page to give you an idea of what he/she looks like in both states.
Now I know there are some other ones... I just can't remember them at the moment.

Sorry but White dragon is cross dressing. Really good disguise but nothing physical
He has water gun in his boobs

Chameleon Jail is pretty much like that - the main character (who is also named Chameleon Jail) has an ability that lets him assume anyone else's appearance at will.

Thank you, everyone! Please keep recommending. 🙂
@atomdreamer, thank you, that's EXACTLY what I'm looking for! And I love Inoue Takehiko too, so we're comrades-in-arms. holds your hand
@Sagaris: Thanks! It's great that it's completely scanlated, too.
@base_coat: Thank you yet again (lol, you offer lots of stuff on my threads!). But I'm not sure that Kampfer and Seijou Kouchakan no Jijou qualify... Is the sex change truly controllable, and do the characters honestly not care about which form they assume? (Sorry, I'm asking because the manga summaries make it seem like the element of choice is missing... Just want to make sure!)
@Darkmoore: Darn! I mean, thanks for clarifying that. 🙂 But it's such a disappointment, right? First of all, he's a really HOT woman, and I kind of felt that even her facial structure was different enough for it to be a transformation... Sigh! How unfortunate! But I still like the character because he simply doesn't care about being "female," lol. That kind of indifference is pretty cool. Most cross-dressing action heroes tend to freak out and prefer being male, but the White Dragon's so Zen about it. He's awesome. 😀
@Toto: I tend not to read smut, but this just sounds so interesting that I'll have to read it! Thanks! 🙂
Looking forward to even more recommendations. hint hint

@tartufo
Yes, they are controllable. But in Kampfer, it's not controllable by himself though. The main guys quickly become not caring about their physical sex anymore.
