What is CHIKAN?
In Japan, street groping is called chikan (痴漢, チカン, or ちかん); and the man who commits such acts is also called chikan, while a woman is called chijo (痴女). Crowded trains are a favourite location for groping, and a 2009 survey conducted in two Tokyo high-schools revealed that more than 70% of students had been groped while travelling on them!
