With the "Shirogyaru" boom since 2000, Manba and Center Guy (male version of Manba) were seldom seen in the streets of Shibuya. However, around 2004, they began to reappear.

In the 1990s, the image of the Mamba was a style similar to ALBAROSA(). However, since 2004, the new genres of Manbas have broken away from a fixed mold, each adopting their preferred fashion styles in a flamboyant manner.
