kogaru
Ahh...the dyed yellow hair, the big socks, the bleeding-edge mobile phone. We all love Kogals, those young Japanese schoolies who hang around in gangs everywhere from Osaka to Oxford. It makes life just that little bit easier to take, watching them with their Badtz Maru handbags and Domo-kun Alice bands.

burriko
Japanese woman of a certain age who looks and acts much younger. Given that it's often hard to identify the age of asian women anyway it can be difficult to spot a burriko.

Mad World
