A Japanese [[LightNovels novella]] by Novala Takemoto, ''Kamikaze Girls'' (''Shimotsuma Monogatari'') is the odd tale of [[ElegantGothicLolita sweet lolita]] Momoko Ryugasaki. When her father, a small-time gangster, gets in trouble for bootlegging counterfeit Versace with the Ride/UniversalStudios Japan logo, the two are forced to move to rural Shimotsuma, Ibaraki... which, to Momoko's considerable chagrin, doesn't have a single Lolita brand store.
