Shōjo or shoujo (少女?) is a Japanese word literally meaning "young girl" or "small girl", and can be used to refer to any female from grade school age through senior high school age. Other words with roughly the same meaning include female child (女の子 onna no ko?) or young woman (若い女性 wakai jōsei?). Before the Meiji period, the word shōjo did not yet exist, while the related word shōnen did. The word shōjo was coined during Meiji period as an equivalent to the English term "girl". Since then, the term shōnen changed from its original meaning of "child" (irrespective of gender) to "boy" to become the new antonym, except in law. In the terminology of Japanese juvenile law, the term shōnen continues to apply to anyone under the age of 20 years regardless of gender.
