Panchira was one of the many visual imports that arrived in the States via the internet, initially in the form of individual scans and screencaps. Technological improvements (such as [[wikipedia:BitTorrent|BitTorrent]] or [[wikipedia:eMule|eMule]]), allowed users to download entire animated series to their desktops, along with [[wikipedia:Eroge|ero games]], [[wikipedia:Kisakae Set System|KiSS dolls]] and other media unavailable outside of Japan.

Direct-to-video features were released to the international market; most featured varying degrees of fan service. A number of 'limited' TV series focused specifically on risque humor: [[wikipedia:Najica Blitz Tactics|Najica: Blitz Tactics]] (2001), [[wikipedia:Love Love?|Love Love?]] (2004) and [[wikipedia:Yoiko|Yoiko]] (2004) all featured unprecedented amounts of panchira. One of the earlier entries, [[wikipedia:Agent Aika|Agent Aika: Naked Missions]] (1997), contained one panty shot every 20 seconds. Each catered to an otaku subculture obsessed with animated cliches such as panty-shots or sociopathic violence.</ins></div></td></tr>

The convention was almost certainly 'borrowed' from American comics and cartoons, where the archetype had been in place since the 1930s.

Later characters, such as Mimiko from [[wikipedia:Hayao Miyazaki|Hayao Miyazaki]]'s [[wikipedia:Panda! Go, Panda!|Panda Kopanda!]] employed the panty-shot for light comedy relief; but by and large, panchira was a simple visual convention, devoid of all sexuality.

Many observers link the phenomenon to the Westernization of Japan following [[wikipedia:World War II|World War II]]. During the occupation, fashions, ideas, and media previously unavailable were accessed by the local population, leading to a slight relaxing of earlier taboos.

This led to children imitating her line "Oh! Mōretsu" (Oh!モーレツ, too much, radical), and a fad for sukāto-mekuri (スカート捲り skirt-flipping). Ogawa subsequently appeared in a TV show ''Oh Sore Miyo'' (Oh! それ見よ, literally "look at that," but actually a pun on 'O Sole Mio,' a neapolitan song 'my sunshine') that again featured scenes of her mini-skirt blowing up.</ins></div></td></tr>

Adult manga magazines had existed since 1956 (e.g. [[wikipedia:Weekly Manga Times|Weekly Manga Times]]), but it is significant to note the introduction of sexual imagery into boys' manga.
