Kyary Pamyu Pamyu was born on January 29, 1993 in Nishitōkyō
, Tokyo
, Japan
, the only child of her family while growing up.[5]
Her parents were strict, frequently setting early curfews and limiting her cellphone access.[6]
Her mother was also very critical of her fashion sense (as seen in this 2009 video
from Takeshita Street
), to the point where Kyary would have to leave the house dressed normally, and change into her flashy, Harajuku-style clothing inside a public bathroom or similar location. She would often return home to find that her mother had thrown away her false eyelashes, contacts, or other fashion accessories, only to lead into further quarrels with her mother. She writes in her autobiography, Oh! My God!! Harajuku Girlthat her father was more supportive of her, although they had their fair share of quarrels as well.[6]
