Gyaru-oh

Encyclopedia : G : GY : GYA : Gyaru-oh

Gyaru-o are a sub-group of modern Japanese youth culture. Gyaru-o is the male version of gyaru, the suffix oh being one way to pronounce the Chinese character for male.

Gyaru-o are characterised by deep tans, a certain dress-style often seen in magazines such as Men's Egg, and a liking for para-para dancing and cyber-trance music.

Gyaru-oh are often despised by members of the Japanese public because of their unusual appearance and also because they are associated with youth rebellion.

Gyaru-oh can often be seen practicing nampa (approaching young women on the street) in main teen hangouts in Tokyo such as Shibuya or Shinjuku.
