karayuki-san

A term for over 100,000 Japanese teenage girls sold exported as prostitutes in the Meiji and Taishō eras to China, Russian Siberia, British India, British East Africa (Kenya), British Malaya (Malaysia), British Borneo, British Singapore, French Indochina, American Philippines, Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), Australia, the west coast of Canada and the west coast of the United States of America.

The clients of the Japanese prostitutes were majority Chinese coolie men and western soldiers in the colonies.

Karayuki-san literally means "Miss gone to China" in Japanese since it referred to Japanese teenage prostitutes who serviced Chinese men in the Edo period (Tokugawa shogunate) and later expanded to all Japanese prostitutes serving foreigners.

Japanese girls who serviced Dutch men were called Orandayuki-san in the Edo era.

Many famous Chinese men of those eras had Japanese side pieces while living in Japan.

Chinese men in Meiji Japan like Sun Yatsen had teenage Japanese concubines like Kaoru Otsuki and Haru Asada.

Chiang Wei-kuo was born to a Chinese father, Dai Jitao and his Japanese whore.

Su Manshu was born to a Chinese merchant and his Japanese maid.

Cong Liangbi had a Japanese side hoe who bore him a son while in Japan

Sadaharu Oh was born to a Chinese father and a Japanese mother in middle of World War II.
