  • A Behavioural Science Framework for Understanding Kawaii and Cuteness
    EAPC 2 (1) pp. 79–95 Intellect Limited 2016 East Asian Journal of Popular Culture Volume 2 Number 1 © 2016 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/eapc.2.1.79_1 HIROSHI NITTONO Osaka University The two-layer model of ‘kawaii’: A behavioural science framework for understanding kawaii and cuteness ABSTRACT KEYWORDS ‘Kawaii’ is one of the most popular words in contemporary Japan and is recognized baby schema as representative of Japanese pop culture. It is often translated into English as ‘cute’, cognition but a subtle difference of nuance seems to exist between the two words. In this arti- culture cle, a framework for research on kawaii from a behavioural science perspective is cuteness put forward. After introducing the dictionary definition, history and current usage emotion of kawaii, this article reports survey results of Japanese students and office work- psychology ers about their attitudes towards kawaii. These findings and past psychological and behavioural science research lead to a two-layer model that consists of kawaii as an emotion and kawaii as a social value. This model postulates that the basis of kawaii is a positive emotion related to the social motivation of watching for and staying with preferable persons and objects, which is typically observed in affection towards babies and infants, but not limited to them. This culturally non-specific, biological trait has been appreciated and fostered in Japan by certain characteristics of Japanese culture. Because previous research on cuteness has been almost exclusively associated with 79 eeajpc2.1.indbajpc2.1.indb 7799 111/04/161/04/16 110:540:54 PPMM Hiroshi Nittono infant physical attractiveness and baby schema, using the relatively fresh, exotic word ‘kawaii’ may be helpful to describe this broader psychological concept.

  • Concerted Strategic Use of Intellectual Properties Begins
    DETERMINATION Feature Exploiting Intellectual Properties to the Utmost Concerted Strategic Use of Intellectual Properties Begins Using character intellectual properties strategically will create a chain of profit-making opportunities. The SEGA SAMMY Group has begun concentrating on strategies that will bring its combined strength to bear on developing entertainment businesses. Here’s a close-up of the organization leading this effort, the SEGA SAMMY Group Charac- ter Licensing Subcommittee, and the steps it is taking. Establishing the Character Licensing Subcommittee When developing an entertainment business, vigorously capitalizing on character intellectual properties is a key differentiating factor. In recent years, strategic use of intellectual properties has become even more im- portant as growth in Japan’s market has slowed due to low birth rates. For example, we can increase profit-making opportunities by exposing customers to character intellectual properties at a range of points of con- tact in order to “lock in” customers or by rolling out character intellectual properties globally through a range of media. The SEGA SAMMY Group boasts an abundance of highly appealing character intellectual properties such as Sonic. Until now, however, intel- lectual properties have been scattered across Group companies, with each company taking separate measures to increase the value of intellectual properties. Seeking closer collaboration among Group companies in order to fully realize the potential of its precious management resources, the Group established the SEGA SAMMY Group Character Licensing Subcom- mittee in April 2008. Already, the subcommittee has initiated concrete measures for BAKUGAN, which is gaining popularity worldwide, and Lil’Pri, which SEGA and Shogakukan Inc. developed jointly.
