Bounce Ko Gals (Japanese: バウンス ko GALS, Hepburn: Baunsu ko gaurusu) 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 Satô), who runs a group of high-school girls involved in paid dating (in Japanese Enjo Kôsai 援助交際), Raku (Yasue Sato) who is a high-schooler and also a street dancer; and Lisa ( Yukiko Okamoto) who is a student, who worked for a year, saving enough money and a plane ticket, to go study in New York.
