Yamanba, sometimes written as "yamamba", is a
fashion trend among
Japanese girls. The term comes from mythology and refers to a mountain-ogress. Starting with the bleach-white hair and heavy tan of the
ganguro girl, the yamanba adds white lipstick and eye makeup and sometimes blue contacts. The result is a caricature of a blond
Caucasian woman.
