There are various hairstyles in the world. A crew cut, bobbed hair and etc. Many Japanese people call them by characteristic name of Japan.

In the early Showa era, most of the Japanese children were same hair style. Many girls were bobbed hair, Okappa. The name of Okappa seems to come from the Kappa.

 

A crew cut, Sport gari was a standard hair style to boys in 80s. But boys more than middle class in city part preferred Botchan gari to Sport gari. A Botcyan gari is boy’s hair style, which is long hair but not longer than ears. (Botchan means a rich boy in Japanese.) 

A typical hair style of salaryman is part his hair on the side, which is called shichi sann (7:3) in Japan. We call the hair style Shichi sann because the ratio of right part hair to left part (or left to right) hair is 3 to 7.

Incidentally, Mr. Kenichi Takemura, a Japanese political commentator is famous as his hair style, Ichi Kyuu (1:9). His part is unique and high original to me.
