Types of -kko Anime Girls ～っ娘

kko っ娘, kko っ子, or kko っこ, can be used to refer to an anime (or real life) girl (or guy) that possesses said attribute. In this post I'll list some examples.

How It Works

musume 娘 is sometimes used instead to hint we're talking about a child girl, creating the gikun, artificial reading: ko 娘.

In Japanese, the word ko 子 , although often used to refer to children, is also sometimes used to refer to women. When written, the kanji for "daughter,"娘 is sometimes used instead to hint we're talking about a child girl, creating the, artificial reading:娘.

When suffixed to words, ko 子 turns into kko っ子. And again, to hint we're referring to girls: kko っ娘. So that's how this suffix came to be.

Every word below can have the suffix spelled as kko っこ, kko っ子 or kko っ娘.

Ideally, kko っ子 would be gender neutral, while kko っ娘 would be used only toward girls, some say you can use kko っ娘 with male characters too. so there's basically no difference between the multiple spellings.

Note that the descriptions below refer to the character as "girl" but that's only because it's usually a girl. They all apply to male characters too.

musume 娘 instead of kko っ娘. For example: tsuno-musume 角娘 and tsunokko 角っ娘. The presence of the
