Shōjo shojo or shoujo (少女 shōjo) is a Japanese word originally derived from a Chinese expression written with the same characters. The Chinese characters (少 and 女) literally mean young/little and woman respectively. In Japanese these kanji refer specifically to a young woman approximately 7–18 years old. Shōjo can often be translated with the English word girl.
