Kamikaze Girls is the latest pop-culture phenomenon to take Japan by storm. It began as a best-selling novel, “Shimotsuma Story” (English Title, “Kamikaze Girls”), by cult writer Novala Takemoto, whose empathy with social outsiders and decadent fashion sense has helped cultivate a devoted following among young women, particularly those in the “Lolita” fashion scene.
