Bounce Ko Gals (バウンス ko GALS, Baunsu ko gyaru) is a 1997 Japanese crime drama film written and directed by Masato Harada. Its alternative English-language titles are Call Girls and Leaving.
Filmed in somewhat of a documentary style, it follows the course of three girls for a day and a night in the popular district of Shibuya in Tokyo.
The main characters are: Jonko (Hitomi Satō), who runs a group of high-school girls involved in paid dating (in Japanese, Enjo kōsai); Raku (Yasue Sato), a high-schooler and street dancer; and Lisa (Yukiko Okamoto), a student who worked for a year, saving enough money to buy a plane ticket and travel to study in New York City.
