not 4chan but japanese manga & anime culture.

The origin is russian though.

Not really; Nabokov was born in Russia but left at 19, and wrote Lolita in English while in the US.

Well... yeah, always forgetting about this.

The term is indeed from a russian book named lolita, but the term 'loli' has evolved via anime to mean something a bit different than the original.
