Magical girls are often called "魔法少女" (Mahou Shoujo) in Japan, which literally translates to "magic girl." This term is widely used and understood by Japanese audiences.
However, depending on the specific context, other terms may be used:
- "魔法戦士" (Mahou Senshi) - This translates to "magic warrior" and might be used for more action-oriented magical girls.
- "美少女戦士" (Bishoujo Senshi) - This translates to "beautiful girl warrior" and is often used for magical girls with strong themes of beauty and femininity.
- "魔法使い" (Mahou Tsukai) - This translates to "magician" or "witch" and might be used for magical girls who rely heavily on magic or have a more mystical feel.
It's important to note that the specific term used may vary depending on the anime, manga, or other media in question.
