  Nipponico - Kogyaru
Il termine kogyaru, spesso scritto anche kogal, è un neologismo giapponese nato negli anni '90, ed è composto da un gairaigo (parola d'origine straniera), gyaru (forma giapponese dello slang americano gal, ragazza) e da un prefisso, ko (bambina).
In particolare, i calzini più in voga fra le kogyaru sono i ruuzu sokkusu (calzini larghi e pendenti, dall'inglese loose socks).
In conclusione, l'importanza che le kogyaru rivestono è dovuta soprattutto all'ambiente metropolitano che hanno creato.

In certain city centers, kogyaru continue to be highly visible, sporting platform sandals, brightly colored fashions, sun-tanned faces, colored hair, and often a highly decorated mobile phone hanging from their necks.
Kogyaru are commonly thought to be the social group that pioneered and popularized uses of mobile communications, first with their appropriation of pagers in early nineties, and then with mobile phones the latter half of the nineties.
According to Ito and Daisuke, the kogyaru phenomenon carries on "a succession of highly visible but transient youth subculture" in postwar Japan.

Japanese filmmakers understand the teenage wasteland the way most of us haven't since we were 16, and director Masato Harada wears his heart on his sleeve in this flick about kogyaru: tragically trendy schoolgirls who occasionally sell their underwear, and their bodies, for spending money.

For Suzuki, young girls - he employs the term kogyaru - have best utilized text messaging and mobile online information, manipulating their phones into a portable bedroom, a compact mirror that is the seed of a new consumer, residential and community culture.
Cyber soothsayer William Gibson agrees that, as the vehicle for a new telecommunications culture, the kogyaru is the symbol of postmodern Tokyo.
Content is not the issue here, but rather the speed, the weird unconscious surety, with which the schoolgirls of Tokyo took up a secondary feature (text messaging) of a new version of the cellular telephone, and generated, almost overnight, a micro-culture."

 Urban Dictionary: kogal
Also "Ko-gal" or "Kogyaru." Japanese term for a "bad girl" or "girl with attitude." These girls are sometimes girls who act a bit rebellious, dress different, or do other things to try to stand out and go against society in some ways.
Often, kogals are girls who seem to have no priorities other than the latest high-class fashions, buying expensive clothing and accesories, and talking on their keitai.
The Japanese language doesn't have the sounds to properly pronounce gal, so the closest they can come is gyaru or kogyaru.
