A foreigner made Japanese word used to describe a style of Gothic & Lolita clothing. It refers to 3/4 pants, ties, etc., and implies an almost cross-dressing qaulity. Its literal meaning, however, is "a being at puberty age who is neither quite adult nor child." It is a word that came into use a decade ago among Japanese middle aged and parents to describe the [awkward stage] their children were going through during middle-high school. The word itself debuted in foreign vocabulary by means of the Gothic and Lolita Bible vol. 1, where it was used to describe [the general] feel of [Plastic Tree] singer Ryutaro's somwhat offbeat, questionably mentally un-wholesome childishness. The foreign Gothic & Lolita fanbase picked up on the word and mistook it for the style name, eventually equating it with the "oojisama (prince)" look. It is recognized as a fashion outside of Japan, but not as such in its own country of origin.
