History Main / GyaruGirl

# ''Yamanba'' and ''Manba'' styles were both developed from ganguro. Taking another step further, ''Yamanba'' often involves even darker tanned skin, a white stripe of makeup down the nose, facial stickers, glittery adhesives below the eyes, dayglo-colored clothing, and unusual accessories such as Hawaiian leis. ''Yamanba'' is inspired by the typical depictions of the [[Myth/JapaneseMythology Yama-Uba]], with main difference between the two being that ''manba'' doesn't use as much white makeup.

* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': Ahko is explicitly named in her first introduction as a gyaru; she loves cute and trendy things, wears a huge number of accessories (including some sort of black lacy thing beneath her shirt), and has wavy blonde hair with pink roots usually tied up in an off-center ponytail. She later suggests that Karane (who also rocks blonde hair and the classic gyaru staple of big loose socks) is kinda gyaru-ish as well, to which she agrees.
-->'''Rentarou:''' ''She's a total gyaru... or, well, extremely accessorised at least. She's so friendly and easy to talk to.

* ''Gal Gohan'''s main female lead Okazaki Miku as well as her friends are all kogals, though Miku does have some stylings from the ganguro fashion. Interestingly, despite being called the school's number one gal, she's the only one doesn't have any sexual experience until the end of the manga on her wedding night.

* Minami Fuyuki, the titular gal of ''Manga/HokkaidoGalsAreSuperAdorable'', dyes her hair blonde, wears short skirts in winter, and doesn't wear gloves so she can [[PhoneaholicTeenager still use her phone]].

* ''VideoGame/Persona1'': Yuka Ayase is a kogal girl, dying her hair blonde and wearing short skirts with loose socks. In the English translation, she speaks in a ValleyGirl dialect.

* ''Manga/{{Metamorphosis}}'': After Saki starts doing sex work to help pay off her boyfriend Hayato's debts, she goes for the ''ganguro'' look by getting a deep tan, bleached blonde hair, tattoos, and piercings.

** Rina Fujimoto is the ganguro type, though she wears much less makeup when she's performing. She and Mika make up two-thirds of the unit Sexy Gals along with Yui Ohtsuki (who didn't start out as this, but leaned into a kogal type as time went on)

* Mika Jougasaki from ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls'' is very much into kogal fashion, and so is her younger sister Rika. In the second half of [[Anime/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls the anime]], her production company forces her to stop wearing gal clothing and makes her wear more mature outfits, but she eventually manages to make the new look her own. Izumi Mei is another one but from the ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterShinyColors'' series instead.

* ''VideoGame/{{Insanity}}'': Riho Tanaka is described as such. She has a {{Valley Girl}}-esque way of speaking, blonde hair (possibly dyed) and is very interested in boys, fashion and decorating. She constantly wears a school uniform, although in this case it's because she's a high school student.
