Let’s go back to the 70’s Japan, at that time the karaoke machine made its appearance in several clubs, Koei and SNK were founded, and last but not least the Ūman Ribu (woman’s liberation movement) has started. At that time, women were considered second-class citizens both inside and outside the family; so, in order the make a social change throughout the whole country; many women have started to gather to think the best strategies to change their condition.
These meetings culminated in two important public events; the first was the International Anti-War Day on October 21, 1970; while the second has been held three years after and it was against the Mother’s Day. Due to this social awareness, even the younger girls started to gather in order to reclaim their independency; this phenomenon is still known nowadays as Sukeban.
But what Sukeban counterculture is? It can be translated as “girl boss”; born among the weakest in society in which the consideration for the ladies was almost zero, high-school girls join their forces to use violence as a form of protest against the traditional Japanese patriarchal society. The unleashing of this pent-up anger was absolutely destabilizing; helping the feminist culture to reach its objectives of equality, independency, and rebellion. Dressed with modified school uniforms which were the best ones to hide weapons such as razors, chains or knives; it is estimated that the biggest gang was composed by more than 20,000 girls.
Acquiring even more popularity, during the following years, Sukeban became an important piece of Japanese pop-culture, especially during the 80s and 90s.
