"Enko" is a common abbreviation for Enjo-kosai (援助交際), which translates literally to "assisted companionship" or "compensated dating." Originating in the late 1980s and peaking in mainstream media attention during the 1990s, the term refers to a practice where individuals (historically often high school students, though it expanded to various demographics) engage in dates, companionship, or intimate encounters with older adults in exchange for money, luxury goods, or expensive meals.
