Many characters from various Japanese media have a {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}} connection. For example, in the [[Yakuza (series)|''Yakuza'']] series, especially in its third iteration, ''[[Yakuza 3]]''. It debuted a [[Quest (video games)|side-mission]] which would then be included with its gameplay and features in later sequels. Where in fictional {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''[[Kabukichō]]''}} or as the game refers to it as {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''[[Kamurocho]]''}}, the player would need to recruit women to join a [[hostess club]]. These women were actual {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}} from the magazine ''[[Koakuma Ageha]]''. These models are used as actual character models in the game; their whole appearance was replicated to the smallest detail to have them created and placed as 3D characters. These models from ''[[Koakuma Ageha]]'' are {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''[[Sayaka Araki]]''}}, {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''Nemu''}}, {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''Rina Sakurai''}}, {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''Eri Momoka''}}, {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''Riho Nishiyama''}}, {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''Rina Aikawa''}} and {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''Shizuka Muto''}}. They have even been compared to their replicated three-dimensional counterparts.<ref>{{cite web|title=Twitter user gyaruoftheday posts about the similarities between models and 3D characters|url=https://twitter.com/gyaruoftheday/status/1332534072967622656|access-date=2021-05-26|website=Twitter|language=en}}</ref> These characters would become hostess of these [[fiction]]al hostess clubs; if the player chooses to do this side-mission and complete it. But the hostess club section of the game first appeared in ''[[Yakuza 2]]'' in the sense of visiting the clubs themselves and not in the similar way as in the third game where the player recruited actual members for the clubs. They even have their own magazine in the games called ''[[Kamutai Magazine]]'' which is also replica of the actual magazine ''[[Koakuma Ageha]]''.<ref>{{cite web|date=2008-11-28|title=セガ、『龍が如く3』の発売日が決定 - あの「伝説の予約特典」も帰ってきた|url=https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20081128-a022/|access-date=2021-05-26|website=マイナビニュース|language=ja}}</ref> This content was omitted in the Western releases of ''Yakuza 3''. |

In ''[[Danganronpa]]'', the character of [[Junko Enoshima]] is inspired by {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}} subculture; she is called a ''super high school level'' {{transliteration|en|hepburn|''gyaru''}} (in the English dub, this is changed to “Ultimate Fashionista”).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Remizova |first=Maria |date=2022-09-28 |title=10 Best Gyaru Characters In Anime, Ranked |url=https://www.cbr.com/best-anime-gyaru-characters-ranked/ |access-date=2022-12-29 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Pavey |first=Vince |date=2021-10-21 |title=Who are the Danganronpa 1 characters? |url=https://www.wepc.com/gaming/danganronpa-1-characters/ |access-date=2022-12-29 |website=WePC {{!}} Let's build your dream gaming PC |language=en-US}}</ref> The ''[[Persona (series)|Persona]]'' series also has a {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}}. In ''[[Revelations: Persona]]'', there is a {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''[[kogal|kogyaru]]''}} named Yuka Ayase. ''[[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle]]'' has a {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''kogyaru''}} enemy as a character. The player must defeat her to proceed in-game; she is known as Shinobu Jacobs who is encountered later in the game. The [[visual novel]] [[Escape room video game|escape room]] series [[Zero Escape]] has the character ''Clover Field'' or {{lang|ja|四葉フィールド}} {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''Yotsuba fi-rudo''}} that is portrayed as a {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}}. |

The ''[[Style Savvy|Wagamama Fashion: Girls Mode]]'' series,<ref>{{Citation|title=Girls Mode - Japanese Trailer|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rA9m5czgvU|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220423150328/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rA9m5czgvU&gl=US&hl=en|archive-date=April 23, 2022|url-status=bot: unknown|type=video|language=ja|access-date=2022-04-23}}</ref> known as Style Savvy and Style Boutique in North America and the [[PAL region]] respectively, is based on multiple Japanese street fashion subcultures and has a main focus on brands and selling apparel. The video game has a variety of brands and styles but also some of these that can be interpreted as mimicking or representing some {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}} fashion brands. For example, the [[Virtual world|in-game]] apparel brand AZ*USA (AZ-USA in the West) has a striking resemblance to the {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}} brand D.I.A.; another would be the brand CherryBerry (April bonbon in the West) also having its own representation of the {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''amekaji''}} style. Most probable inspiration would be the {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}} brand COCO*LULU. |

The video-game franchise ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' by [[Nintendo]] also had a {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}}, but she only appeared in a spin-off game of this series. Specifically the ''[[Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer]]'' on the [[Nintendo 3DS]], the character named Lottie appears in that video game for the first time, she is a character represented as an [[otter]]. After multiple encounters with her, there will be an in-game event on the third day of [[gameplay]], where her uncle Lyle will state himself that she wears too much makeup in a game dialogue and in a later in-game event she can even be found without her makeup. She will state to the player character, that it was due to the fact she woke up too late for work but would often wear her makeup to impress a male colleague; the colleague's name in game is Digby.<ref>{{cite web|title=The character Lottie stating her not using makeup|url=https://i.redd.it/kc0clddirpn01.jpg|access-date=16 July 2021|website=reddit}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=The character Lottie stating the reason for her wearing a extensive amount of makeup|url=https://66.media.tumblr.com/1d3f04013a9ed48fb18891eaeb62038d/tumblr_inline_nwglz0W1Ba1qjg8z9_1280.jpg|website=tumblr}}</ref> She also appears in ''[[Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival|Animal Crossing: amiibo festival]]'' on the [[Wii U]].

Though that isn't supposedly the only {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}} influenced character in Animal Crossing; but instead of an non-playable character it is actually a villager within the series. The [[gorilla]] villager Jane or {{lang|ja|フィーバー}} (Fever) has been remarked having a [[ganguro]] like appearance in {{lang|ja|[[:ja:どうぶつの森シリーズ|どうぶつの森]]}} on the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[GameCube]] Japanese versions of said game.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The villager Jane in NTSC-J versions |url=https://dodo.ac/np/images/0/01/Jane_DnM%2B.png}}</ref> |

Another video game franchise with a {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|''gyaru''}} character is the ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' series.

They have a series of [[Application software|applications]] that can be used for both the [[Nintendo DSi]] and Nintendo 3DS. They are on the [[List of DSiWare games and applications|Nintendo DSiWare]] and the [[Nintendo eShop]]. It is a {{Transliteration|en|Hepburn|[[purikura]]}} application for both [[Video game console|video-game consoles]] developed by the company [[Atlus]].
