<upd_detl>hangyoku is really the Tokyo term for a 
maiko, I believe. these aren't children in 
the modern use of the term.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Sorry, what I meant is that "hangyoku" is the Tokyo term for "maiko", the Kansai equivalent. In English, "maiko" is the much more well-known 
word, though. (see books.google.com/ngrams) In Japanese too, actually: 
半玉	17917
舞子	250215</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>jawiki says, in it's Maiko entry: "東京など関東地方における「半玉」「おしゃく」とは別の文化起源であるため、区別されるものである。"
but the kokugo's don't say whether it's just Tokyo or elsewhere as well.</upd_refs>
