First coined by Vtuber and Illustrator Ui Mama (Shigure Ui).
Taken inspiration from how Vtuber Hoshimachi Suisei uses the word “Shounen” to describes a male animanga body archetype distinct from your usual Shota, Ui decided to make a female version of the word.
Shoujo refers to female animanga characters that look just a little too old to be a Loli. (i.e. Hu Tao from Genshin Impact)
