  • Talking Like a Shōnen Hero: Masculinity in Post-Bubble Era
    Talking like a Shōnen Hero: Masculinity in Post-Bubble Era Japan through the Lens of Boku and Ore Hannah E. Dahlberg-Dodd The Ohio State University Abstract Comics (manga) and their animated counterparts (anime) are ubiquitous in Japanese popular culture, but rarely is the language used within them the subject of linguistic inquiry. This study aims to address part of this gap by analyzing nearly 40 years’ worth of shōnen anime, which is targeted predominately at adolescent boys. In the early- and mid-20th century, male protagonists saw a shift in first-person pronoun usage. Pre-war, protagonists used boku, but beginning with the post-war Economic Miracle, shōnen protagonists used ore, a change that reflected a shift in hegemonic masculinity to the salaryman model. This study illustrates that a similar change can be seen in the late-20th century. With the economic downturn, salaryman masculinity began to be questioned, though did not completely lose its hegemonic status. This is reflected in shōnen works as a reintroduction of boku as a first- person pronoun option for protagonists beginning in the late 90s. Key words sociolinguistics, media studies, masculinity, yakuwarigo October 2018 Buckeye East Asian Linguistics © The Author 31 1. Introduction Comics (manga) and their animated counterparts (anime) have had an immense impact on Japanese popular culture. As it appears on television, anime, in addition to frequently airing television shows, can also be utilized to sell anything as mundane as convenient store goods to electronics, and characters rendered in an anime-inspired style have been used to sell school uniforms (Toku 2007:19).

  • Globalizing Manga: from Japan to Hong Kong and Beyond. Mechademia: Emerging Worlds of Anime and Manga, Vol
    Wong, Wendy Siuyi. (2006). Globalizing Manga: From Japan to Hong Kong and beyond. Mechademia: Emerging Worlds of Anime and Manga, Vol. 1: 23-45. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press. WENDY SIUYI WONG Globalizing Manga: From Japan to Hong Kong and Beyond Many modern societies produce a form of visual and narrative art that con- tains a series of printed pictures, usually though not always with text.¹ In English, readers may call it sequential art, comics, comic books, cartoons, cartoon strips, or graphic novels. Th e French term is bande dessinée (BD), lit- erally, “strip drawing.” In Chinese, commonly used terms are manhua, lian- huantu, and car-ton. Th e written Chinese characters for manhua are the basis for both the Japanese and the Korean terms for comics, which are, respec- tively, manga and manhwa. No matter what it is called, this visual art form in various countries and languages has similarities and diff erences. Scott McCloud points out that this art form is a communication medium able to convey information and to pro- duce aesthetic pleasure for readers.² As a part of the globalization of media, American comics and animation have a long history of exporting such works. Studies fi nd that American comics played an important role in introducing modern comics to Asia, as in Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s.³ In Japan, the great comics artist Tezuka Osamu openly acknowledged the infl uence of early Walt Disney and Max Fleisher animation in his work.⁴ Japan’s comics 23 and animation industry was the most developed among countries in Asia in the early 1960s.

  • The Otaku Lifestyle: Examining Soundtracks in the Anime Canon
    THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ B.M., University of Central Missouri, 2014 Kansas City, Missouri 2019 © 2019 MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON Michelle Jurkiewicz, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2019 ABSTRACT Japanese animation, or anime, has been popular around the globe for the last sixty years. Anime has its own fan culture in the United States known as otaku, or the obsessive lifestyle surrounding manga and anime, which has resulted in American production companies creating their own “anime.” Japanese filmmakers do not regard anime simply as a cartoon, but instead realize it as genre of film, such as action or comedy. However, Japanese anime is not only dynamic and influential because of its storylines, characters, and themes, but also for its purposeful choices in music. Since the first anime Astro Boy and through films such as Akira, Japanese animation companies combine their history from the past century with modern or “westernized” music. Unlike cartoon films produced by Disney or Pixar, Japanese anime do not use music to mimic the actions on-screen; instead, music heightens and deepens the plot and emotions. This concept is practiced in live-action feature films, and although anime consists of hand-drawn and computer-generated cartoons, Japanese directors and animators create a “film” experience with their dramatic choice of music.
