In the culture of Japan , JK business ( JK ビ ジ ネ ス in Japanese ) refers to paid dating with underage girls. The abbreviation JK stands for joshi kōsei ( 女子 高 生 ), which means high school student. A typical scenario for the initiation is that a high school student distributes flyers on which she advertises a “JK walk” ( JK お 散 歩JK osanpo ) or “walk date”. When the police became aware of this practice, the "sanpo business" partially substituted it. A girl is paid to keep a man company by walking or talking with him. Another activity that is advertised is reflexology ( rifure ). Many of the girls work in Akihabara , Tokyo.

The US State Department reported in 2017 that the Japanese government "does not fully meet the minimum requirements for the elimination of human trafficking." This was justified by the fact that “the prostitution of minors is still socially acceptable.” In the 2018 report, however, Japan was already classified as a “Tier 1” nation, which fully meets the minimum requirements.

Yumeno Nito, who is calling for the phenomenon to be combated, has set up a foundation in Tokyo to help the girls. Japan has been described by cultural anthropologists as a culture of shame . This makes it difficult for girls who run away from home to seek help so that they can easily become victims of human trafficking for the sex industry.
