Yankee – _Images

In Japanese, delinquents are referred to, both in real life and in fiction, as yankee (ヤンキー), while their leaders are called banchou. Girls can be called sukeban or onna banchou. Motorcycle and automobile racers are usually considered a separate subculture of delinquent, known as bousouzoku. This term was used as a plot for series like Crows Zero, Beelzebub, Pika☆Ichi or Majisuka Gakuen.
