kogaru

kogaru or also kogyaru.

japanese girls with tanned skin and dyed hair, usually wearing colorful stuff and extensive makeup.

the term originates from the japanese mispronunciation of "callgirl".

an acronym for this is "ganguro" which means like "blackface" in japanese.

look at that kogaru over there...
(straightforward as one would expect)
