A punch perm (パンチパーマ panchi pāma) is a type of tightly permed male hairstyle in Japan. From the 1970s until the mid-1990s it was popular among yakuza chinpira (low-level criminals) bōsōzoku (motorcycle gang members) truck drivers construction workers and enka singers. The punch perm began to fall out of usage as a result of its general association with the yakuza as well as normal fashion trends.
