4	[[UsefulNotes/SubculturesInJapan In Japan and Japanese media, there exists a subculture known as ''Gyaru'']], or "Gal" culture. This subculture often involves the emulation and use of popular Western fashion trends, tanned skin, blonde hair, and excessive use of makeup. Gyaru culture is split into three subcultures: Kogal, Ganguro, and Yanmanba. Gyaru adherents are almost AlwaysFemale, but there do exist rare male variants, who are referred to as ''Gyaru-o''. Initially created from the rebellious attitudes embraced by JapaneseDelinquents, the cultures originated in the 1970s, and gained popularity in the early 2000s. The Gyaru style actually has a huge influence on Japanese fashion trends.

6	# ''Kogal'' girls are often identified by wearing school uniforms along with super short skirts, loose socks, and sometimes platform shoes. It's not uncommon to see them have dyed hair either. The Harajuku and Shibuya districts of Tokyo serve as centers for Kogal culture. Committed kogal girls will wear short skirts all year-round, even in the winter and rainy seasons.
7
8	# ''Ganguro'' girls exemplify artificially tanned skin, blonde hair, and liberally applied contrasting makeup. It began as a form of rebellion against traditional Japanese standards of beauty (namely pale skin, dark hair, and neutral makeup tones) and open defiance of school standards and regulations. There's also a negative view that ganguros ReallyGetAround thanks to overlap with CompensatedDating. The Shibuya and Ikebukuro districts of Tokyo served as centers for Ganguro culture. The trend reached the peak of its popularity in the mid to late 90s, and has mostly faded away (though the internet helped bring it back into awareness,) but lived on with the Yamanba style.
9
10	# ''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 the main difference between the two being that ''manba'' doesn't use as much white makeup.
11
12	Gyaru Girls will often have their fashion style pointed out in the narrative. Compare TheFashionista, and compare and contrast with the Western equivalent ValleyGirl. See also NonconformistDyedHair, for examples outside the ''gyaru'' subculture/s that dye hair to subvert societal norms. ''Gyaru'' subculture developed in response to, and is therefore to some extent a deliberate [[InvertedTrope inversion]] of, the more traditional feminine ideal of the YamatoNadeshiko.

17	[[foldercontrol]]
18
19	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
20	* ''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 tips usually tied up in an off-center ponytail (this being a WorldOfTechnicolorHair, the pink tips are natural, since she had them as a baby). 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.
21	-->'''Rentarou:''' ''She's a total gyaru... or, well, extremely accessorised at least. She's so friendly and easy to talk to.''
22	* Naruko "Anaru" Anjou of ''Anime/AnohanaTheFlowerWeSawThatDay'' became a gyaru sometime after Menma died. She paints her nails, styles her hair and dyes it red, wears false eyelashes, and probably uses her earnings from her part-time job to buy outfits. Her friends [[AlphaBitch Haruna and Aki]] also have gyaru tendencies.
23	* A ''Manga/CaseClosed'' case is centered on the ''gyaru'' culture. The ''gyarus'' Michiko, Ryouko and Tae and the ''yamanba'' Hitomi are attacked and beaten up by an unknown assailiant, and [[spoiler: Tae]] ends up being beaten to death. [[spoiler: It's because Tae accidentally ran a boy with her car and the boy's grieving father started attacking women who reminded him of her, especially if they wore platform boots since she was wearing those when she caused the accident.]]
24	* Yuzu, the protagonist of ''{{Manga/Citrus}}'' is a Kogal, with bleached blond hair, makeup, school uniform skirt hiked ''way'' up, jewelry, the works. This causes considerable friction with the extremely straight-laced school she attends, as well as her prim-and-proper adoptive sister (and secret crush) who is the StudentCouncilPresident there.
25	* ''Manga/{{Dandadan}}'': Ayase is of the Kogal variant. One of her friends is more directly Manba.
26	* Aiura Mikoto from ''Manga/TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK'' is an example of the ganguro subtype. Downplayed, though, because she wears the school uniform the same way as everyone else
27	* The rival Saber from the ''[[VideoGame/FateEXTRA Fate/EXTRA CCC Fox Tail]]'' manga and ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' -- Suzuka Gozen -- carries herself like a Gyaru, even calling herself a "JK Saber" (JK = joshikousei = high-school girl).
28	* ''Manga/FlowersAndBees'' features a GirlPosse of 3 kogals including love interest Sakura Ota, who doesn't tan, but spends her time going to clubs and LoveHotels instead of studying.
29	* ''Manga/FoodWars'': Ikumi Mito initially looks this trope due to her brown skin, blond hair and her {{Stripperific}} outfit, notably her iconic USA FlagBikini. Then a flashback of her is shown, revealing that she already had the skin and hair color as a child, and she was wearing a dress that made her look like a little princess (she's from a rich family, which explains why she was working with Erina Nakiri who hates commoners), meaning she is a natural dark-skinned blonde. Her current choice of fashion is a result of a trauma, when her father condemned her girly interests as a weakness for her status as a future heir, thus she developed into TheLadette.
30	* ''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 who doesn't have any sexual experience until the end of the manga on her wedding night.
31	* ''Manga/{{Gals}}'' focuses entirely on Gyaru culture. The three main characters, Miyu, Ran, and Aya, are all kogals. Miyu and Ran both have dyed hair, and all three of them wear trendy clothing.
32	* ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}'': Sasahara's sister Keiko led a kogal lifestyle in high school, obviously influenced by peer pressure. She wears heavy layers of make-up on her face, paints her nails and her hair is often styled to whatever is popular at the moment.
33	* 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]]. Her friends Sayuri Akino and Rena Natsukawa also qualify as well.
34	* Hayasaka from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' dresses in kogal fashion as part of her school persona. She claims that it's for the sake of her job (she fostered a friendship with the resident chatty kogals Mirin and Subaru to keep track of the various rumors around school), but it's pretty clear that she enjoys it.
35	* Rumiko Manbagi from ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate'' started off as a ''manba'' gyaru ([[PunnyName get it?]]), before she abandoned that style in favor of a fusion between ''ganguro'' and ''kogal''.
36	* ''Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure''[[note]]TOEI's official English title is actually ''Witchy Pretty Cure!''[[/note]] has Benigio who talks like a gyaru (which is naturally rendered as a ValleyGirl accent in the fansubs), what makes this even funnier is that she's voiced by Creator/KikukoInoue.
37	* ''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.
38	* ''Manga/MoreThanAMarriedCoupleButNotLovers'': Akari Watanabe, the main female lead, is of the ''kogal'' style, and is explicitly referred to as a gyaru in the story. Her school uniform even has cutouts on the shoulders to leave them bare, making her stand out from her classmates even more.
39	* ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling'': The female lead, Marin Kitagawa, follows closely the ''kogal'' look by default, as she's most often seen in her school uniform. She also has bright-colored hair dye, red contacts, colored nail polish, and miniskirt, alongside other accessories. At one point she even gets her skin tanned for a cosplay, making her look like a ''ganguro''.
40	* ''Manga/MyFirstGirlfriendIsAGal'' is basically a romantic comedy involving an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent entering into a relationship of sorts with a Gyaru. With lots of added {{Fanservice}}.
41	* In ''Manga/{{Nana}}'', Nana K's sister Nami is "still a ganguro girl." She is tanned and open about sexual matters.
42	* Kanako from ''Manga/NyanKoi'' is introduced wearing Yamanba makeup. Many characters find it rather grotesque, but she didn't care. Junpei himself calls her the "Demon Yamanba", but she points out that she's a manba, not a yamanba. The reason she got into it in the first place seems to extend back to her and Junpei's childhood, where she began seeking his attention more and more, even though he never saw her as anything special. After showing her that he still cares about her in his own ways, she abandons the style altogether.
43	* ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'' has Jyushiko, Jyushimatsu's DistaffCounterpart among [[GenderFlip the Girly Matsus]]. She exemplifies the Ganguro subtype, with her having the darkest skin, heavy makeup, and yellow hair. She's also implied to be a lot more promiscuous than her male counterpart.
44	* In ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', Haruhi's friend Mei is a dark tanned girl who reads magazines for 'gals in love'. She is a amateur fashion designer, who focuses on love and hobbies more than her summer homework.
45	* Momo from ''Manga/PeachGirl'' is often mistaken for a ganguro due to her tanned skin and bleached hair. She gets teased a lot about it, but she's on the school's swim team. Her skin is just tanned because she spends a lot of time swimming outdoors, and the chlorine and other pool chemicals bleached her hair strawberry-blonde.
46	* ''Manga/PleaseTellMeGalkoChan'' is named after this trope, and by extension, Galko. She wears heavy makeup, paints her nails, styles her hair and dyes it blonde. However, she's a downplayed example because despite her name and appearance, she has ''zero'' experience with men, and gets easily embarrassed over her physique and what she says, as she sometimes accidentally says suggestive stuff.
47	* ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'': The episode "Battle Aboard the St. Anne" has Jessie [[DisguisedInDrag and James]] dressed as ganguro. The English dub translates this by making them into {{Valley Girl}}s.
48	* The aptly named "Kogal Ghost" from ''Manga/ReKan'' is obsessed with 80's fashion, though her hair appears to be naturally dark.
49	* ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'''s RRatedOpening starts with a ganguro making out with a man. They then [[StartsWithASuicide notice a girl jump off of a roof]].
50	* ''Manga/ShortCuts'' features an entire kogal village, even filled with grannies wearing loose socks.
51	* Angol Mois from ''Manga/SgtFrog'' has a fairly subdued kogal appearance in her human form. She's already AmbiguouslyBrown, but has platinum blonde hair instead of her natural silver hair when she chooses to stay on Earth. She wears a simple brown and white school uniform, skirt, and loose socks. She deliberately chose the style after being influenced by a [[JapaneseDelinquent delinquent girl]] she met, but it definitely adds to her character design's cuteness.
52	* In ''Manga/SkipBeat'' Kyoko pretends to be a kogal by using distinctive slang and an airheaded persona so that Sho doesn't figure out that it is her.
53	* Midori Save-The-World from ''Anime/SpacePatrolLuluco'' is a gyaru stereotype, mostly in being a PhoneaholicTeenager. It's a plot point because her phone has an illegal black hole app that lets her steal stuff. Appearance-wise, she has multicolor gradient hair but green rather than dark skin, because she's half-alien.
54	* ''Manga/StoryOfADumbPrefectAndHighSchoolGirlWithInappropriateSkirtLength'': Poemu and her best friends, Motoko Akina and Rui Tasaki, are all gyaru. They also call the StudentCouncilPresident's [[SheCleansUpNicely sexy appearance]] her "gal version" and before they knew who she was, assumed she was a "super lewd gyaru".
55	* ''Manga/TalentlessNana'' has two examples, Kirara Habu and Kaori Takanashi. The two of them are good friends, are obsessed with fashion and looking like Westerners (Kirara has tanned skin and blonde hair, Kaori wears blue color contacts), and are almost never seen without their phones.
56	* ''Manga/TheresAGhostBehindThatGal'' has the titular gal Yuina, who rocks the usual ''kogal'' fashion of tanned skin, dyed-blonde hair, and mini-skirts.
57	* ''Anime/TrainToTheEndOfTheWorld'': Reimi appears to be at least partially inspirted by this trend, having tanned skin, dyed-blonde hair, loose socks, and a bright hair accessory. However, the tan is actually her natural skin tone so she may not be fully pursuing this style.
58	[[/folder]]
59
60	[[folder:Fan Works]]
61	* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Mina Ashido shows Class 1-A a photo of herself before suffering her mutation, and she looks a lot like one, having dark skin, brown hair and no horns. Mineta and Kaminari even call her "a real 'gyaru'".
62	[[/folder]]
63
64	[[folder:Literature]]
65	* ''Literature/{{Higehiro}}'': Asami Yuuki shows some Gyaru traits, like tanned skin, blonde hair and calling Sayu "Sayu-chaso".[[note]]A variant of [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics -chan]] based on the similarity between the kana for "-n" and "-so"[[/note]]
66	[[/folder]]
67
68	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
69	* ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' has an episode appropriately titled "Gal Hazard", with the "Gal" pronounced as "Gyaru". The protagonists have to deal with a small-time alien shoplifter named Faraway who definitely looks the part. She isn't particularly bright or cooperative, and both Ban and Houji consider her pretty hard on the eyes.
70	[[/folder]]
71
72	[[folder:Music]]
73	* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgxLTC8r37U9cQpB1RTK5hQ Egg All Stars]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm_krnmFneO0mIJteawHv9bGDChw7ypYI LOALO MODELS]] are musical groups formed by models from their respective magazines, Egg and LOALO, to advertise them after the gyaru communities in Japan and overseas sparked a revival for the subculture.
74	* POLICEMAN's single and memetic music video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EKTw50Uf8M "Galo Sengen"]] is about the gyaru-oh lifestyle.
75	[[/folder]]
76
77	[[folder:Video Games]]
78	* Sarah "Suki" Stevens from ''VideoGame/HunieCamStudio'' and ''VideoGame/HuniePop2'', a Japan-obsessed otaku, is of the Manbu style, complete with dark tan, contrasting make-up, glittery adhesives beneath her eyes and Hawaiian leis.
79	* 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.
80	** 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).
81	* ''VideoGame/{{IMGCM}}'': Riri/[[DubNameChange Lilly]] Yarimizu, one of MagicalGirlWarrior heroines, follows the Ganguro fashion by having pastel-pink hair and wears it in a [[AnimeHair massive drill-like side-tail]], tanned skin, and a cleavage-exposed school uniform. Surprisingly, she's actually a [[NiceGirl nice and wholesome girl]] who doesn't like bad men, due to the fact that her father was [[GlorifiedSpermDonor a cheater and a wastrel who ran away with other women]] right after Riri's mother became pregnant.
82	* ''VideoGame/{{Insanity\|Uri}}'': 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.
83	* The boss Sol Titanion of the Einherjar Eight Warriors from ''VideoGame/MegaManZero4'' is depicted as an extremely exaggerated gyaru, so much that whenever she uses her Red Flame Fans attack she shouts "Mitai na!" (みたいなー, Like, totally!) "Mitai na" is a slangy phrase that was heavily used by Japanese gyaru girls during the 1990s. It was used at the end of a sentence to add a mood of "kinda", "maybe" or "something like that", or even meaningless filler. Titanion uses it as if it's an independent interjection since she is an exxagerated gyaru, but normally one cannot start a sentence with みたいな or use みたいな as a meaningless filler.
84	* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
85	** ''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.
86	** ''VideoGame/Persona3'': Natsuki Moriyama is a ganguro gal, having tanned skin and strawberry blonde hair.
87	** ''VideoGame/Persona5ThePhantomX'': Kayo Tohyama is a 44-year old housewife who is a former fashionista. During her youth, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/okyann_young.png she was a ganguro gal]], having bleached blonde hair, tanned skin, and loud sense of fashion. As the Phantom Idol Okyann, she [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p5x_okyann.png re-adopts this look]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=irrbi1Y8cgU There is quite the gap between her real self and cognitive self]].
88	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
89	** Plumeria, the second-in-command of Team Skull from ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', has pink and yellow hair, and accents her eyes with white makeup. Her design is clearly inspired from ganguro style, further exemplified by the baggy clothing fashion that the entire organization wears.
90	** Generation 1's Jynx had been theorized to be based on ganguro fashion due to its dark skin, pink lips, and platinum blonde hair. Others say she's based on the tale of [[Myth/JapaneseMythology Yama-Uba]], who are depicted in Noh plays by actors in BlackFace (though orange masks are more traditional) and a pale wig along with a tattered red kimono. [[TakeAThirdOption Or Jynx could be based on]] [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs both]], as there is a subset of ganguro fashion based on Yama-Uba called "Yamanba".
91	** Generation 5's Simipour is partly designed after kogal fashion, to match the JapaneseDelinquents theme it has going on with Simisage and Simisear (who are based on yankiis and UsefulNotes/{{Bosozoku}}, respectively). Like them, however, it also has a far higher chance of being male than it does female.
92	* From ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'' we have Shiki, from the Kogal variety. A shinobi who is also a casual girl who chats with her cellphone ([[SkewedPriorities even in battle]]), comments about trends and fashion, and speaks like a stereotypical ValleyGirl. But, [[DumbBlonde unlike most examples]], [[SmarterThanYouLook she's also very knowledgeable and IT-savvy]], and uses this knowledge to help her friends in battle.
93	* The bully clique (Musume Ronshaku, Kokoro Momoiro, Kashiko Murasaki, Hoshiko Mizudori, and Hana Daidaiyama) in ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'' is a mix of these styles (though mostly Kogal and Ganguro). They are all dark-skinned blondes with their hair dyed flashy colors, they wear insanely short skirts and loose socks, and they accessorize with scrunchies on their wrists, hair decorations, makeup, and cardigans around their waists. WordOfGod is that Musume started wearing Gyaru fashion to stand out, but ended up making it a trend. She wound up befriending the girls who took to her style the most because they had similar interests (mostly [[GirlPosse bullying]]), and the youngest member, Hoshiko, came to school after the clique was established and started dressing like that to integrate herself.
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
97	* In ''VisualNovel/CrescendoJP'', Yuka's design strongly evokes the ''gyaru''. While she's not tanned, her hair is lighter than the rest of the cast (probably bleached) and she also uses the dangerously short skirt, cleavage-showing shirt and loose socks worn by the average school-aged gyarus.
98	* Junko Enoshima from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', [[spoiler:a rare [[BitchInSheepsClothing villainous]] example as she is the BigBad of the series]], is known as the "Super High School Level Gyaru", [[{{Woolseyism}} localized]] as "[[TheFashionista Ultimate Fashionista]]" in the English translation. Being a Kogal, she wears a modified school uniform with a short skirt, long platform boots, and based on how she appears in ''Literature/DanganronpaZero'' [[spoiler:as [[TomatoInTheMirror Ryoko Otonashi]]]], it's implied that [[spoiler:[[EvilRedhead her hair is dyed]]]]. Concept art shows that Junko would have sported a ''ganguro'' styled appearance instead.

101	[[folder:Web Animation]]
102	* ''WebAnimation/AttackOnMika'':
103	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R1RTI10l-g “Stop staring, creep!” The introvert is surrounded by annoying gals... “You’re ugly.”]]'' features a posse of delinquent gals seated around an introverted boy named Takumi. They all, except their leader Natsumi, are nice to him.
104	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKZ5z3_82SM My life was ruined as a child... I met a flashy gal in high school “Remember me?”]]'': Daiki's childhood friend Yuri became one after years of not seeing each other again. However, her new personality led her to force him into social activities. When Daiki asks her why she changed, she reminded him that he [[spoiler:made her promise to be more outgoing when they were kids.]]
105	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk9evZCAE0g Here's what happened when the smartest kid pretended to be an outcast...]]'': Natsuna Takagi is a gyaru who likes to tease protagonist Satori Sugino for being a nerd. After he saved her from a pair of thugs in his delinquent persona, she fell in love with him, unaware that the hardened delinquent and the nerd she teased are both Sugino.
106	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovAmUQcOfoQ I reunited with the girl who used to treat me like crap in high school...]]'': Mizuki is a flashy gyaru who liked to tease and use [[ExtremeDoormat Asuka]] as her errand boy. Turns out she did this because he found her lost earrings and since then she fell for him.
107	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rof-8MxL5QI The introvert is harassed by self-conscious girls]]'' stars Lilina, Konomi, and Aira as gals who chatter among themselves while seating around an introverted Ichi, who helps the three of them study after he called them out for her flashiness.
108	* Sana from ''WebAnimation/AyasakiSan'' is a gyaru and also one of the most popular girls in Chiaki's school along with Miyu.
109	* Tachibana from ''WebAnimation/EtraChanSawIt'' is a gyaru-oh, he even maintains his look when he appears as a young boy or an old man.
110	* ''WebAnimation/GrimReaperFlagChan'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xczOZn-Azs This episode]] centers on Mobuo trying to woo one of these, based on the mangas where a gyaru is nice to an otaku. However, she rejects him for being a creep, which summons Heartbreak Flag-chan. She tries to become a gyaru to get Mobuo's affection, even becoming a ''yamanba'' by Romance Flag-chan's advice.
111	* ''WebAnimation/{{Mameshiba}}'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmank2o4DOY Fava Bean's short]] features two ganguro girls. Unlike other chapters, the girl told the trivia is ''amazed'' at it (eels are dark because they tan too much).
112	* ''WebAnimation/MangaHeaven'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo00Lu4nqic Kurumi]] dressed up like a gyaru after finding a package for Koi-meno and thought Naoto liked gyarus since the girl on the package is one. However, Naoto explained that his brother Ken is the one into gyarus. Kurumi decided to keep the gyaru look since she enjoyed dressing up like one.
113	* ''WebAnimation/MangaRoom'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycf4rTIq1DY Tomoka]] is a gyaru who likes to pick on Yusaku, much to his annoyance. When he couldn't take her teasing anymore, he lies to her about being engaged, hoping to gross her out and get her off his back. Much to his surprise, [[spoiler:it hurt her feelings. When Yusaku asked her about it, Tomoka confessed she did this because she actually liked him.]]
114	* ''WebAnimation/RefreshingStories'': [[GirlOfTheWeek Motoko]] and her friends from the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z17JtAkzNMM She dumped me back in high school, but now she was trying to get back with me]]'' dressed like kogals back in high school, complete with fake tans.
