About the so-called 'pinky violence'

[Tom Mes]

In a lengthy interview with the Japanese magazine Hotwax (issue 2, June 2005), Kaji Meiko mentions that the term used for these kinds of films at Toei at the time was "o-iroke".

> According to a presentation in June 2008 at Meijigakuin University on  
> "Pinky Violence" by Mana Yaeko (真魚八重子), the term did not  
> originate from Toei in the 70s but was a creation of 90s subculture  
> focused on 70s cinema, specifically works from the Toei lot. I'm  
> assuming that since this presentation made no specific references to  
> where this term originated that she was referring origins in Japanese  
> film subculture but this might have taken place simultaneously with  
> the American fan boy you mentioned.
