Talk:Kogal

message: "They are generally not seen in high-end department stores or in nature"
This senetence first appeared in Naif's edit on 1st February 2005, I'm assuming that it was meant jokingly. I was going to remove it in the interest of keeping the article entirely factual, but since it's a matter of opinion: what do people think, should it stay or should it go?
 ~Mullet
This is now a defunct term for a defunct slice of Japanese society. Rarely will you see them anymore in Tokyo - eDs.
: just because you don't see them in Tokyo doesn't mean they don't exist.  Any time I'm waiting for the train around Osaka on weekends I will see kogyaru around.  Especially around Shinsaibashi. 210.168.185.69 17:11, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal? 

message: or more properly Yanki.
As the arictle more or less gets right Kogals are high school aged girls who tend to wear desinger clothes, alot of makeup etc. The style of miniskits, fashiable high=heeled boots of the young women of Tokyo was called the "Gal" style. When their juniors began to emulate them, they were referred to as KoGals (eg Neko = cat, Koneko = kitten)
: The Japanese wiki page claims the term 'ko' comes from "High Schooler" (kokousei), not "little" as in 'koneko'. Identity0 08:47, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kogal not Yankee 

message: As I understand it, the term "Gal" was originally applied to the fashion style of young urban women who wore expensive designer fashions, after the english word Gal. A KoGal is a young girl who emulated this style. Naturally the teenagers took this look and ran with it. The "kōkō" etymology is incorrect I think. I'll try to find some documentation either way.

message: Why is there just a picture of random Japanese schoolgirls? That doesn't do a good job of illustrating the fashion style described here. You guys can do better than that. --70.142.55.96 (talk) 11:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture of Japanese Girls 

message: Would it be okey to add that Kogals are like the modern-day Japanese equivelant of the American Flappers?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.77.255 (talk) 12:26, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Modern Girl is a more direct Japanese equivalent to a flapper. There are several intermediate steps between kogal and flapper, so it's a bit of a stretch. The flapper was a reaction to the grimly politicized New Woman, but the issue of feminism vs partying down doesn't really arise in the Japanese context. Kauffner (talk) 06:10, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I moved these examples off the main article as they just discuss media involving Japanese high school girls in general and not the kogal style or culture. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:31, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
