Caldwell, Chair Japanese creative media – particularly, its comics, animation, and video games – has found success globally, but it is primarily a product made for and by a domestic audience. What characterizes the success of its various creative industries on the domestic level, before they reach out to global spheres? This dissertation attempts to provide an answer to this question by examining the logics of franchise media production in Japan. I conduct ethnographic fieldwork into Japan’s manga and anime industries, as well as close analyses of concomitant transmedia texts, in order to demonstrate the collective authorship that surrounds the production of contemporary media in these industries today. By focusing on the production of texts in commercial outlets such as Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump and Toei Animation Studies, I show how large-scale, franchise media in Japanese production is organized, managed, and distributed through small networks of mangaka, ii assistants, editors, and readers, as well as large networks of professionals including animators, directors, scriptwriters, voice actors, and producers. These networks produce texts that are then open to “multiple use,” dispersed into the hands of other producers through “element databases,” or converge in a “media mix,” spun through committees and centralized through “product-portals.” The resulting transmedia reflects the similar creative preoccupations within manga and anime: an ability to construct worlds through “character management”: the multi-authored process of constructing compelling characters with a variety of industrial functions. iii The dissertation of Bryan Hikari Hartzheim is approved.

I would like to express my gratitude first and foremost to my mentor and chair John Caldwell, whose intellect, energy, and consistent encouragement shephered my education since I began graduate school. It has been an honor and pleasure to work with such a model educator and person. The insight and support of my other committee members, Steve Mamber, Chon Noriega, and Seiji Lippit, was invaluable on this project and through the years in various seminars and independent studies. Others were also instrumental in helping me better see and write about film and media, including Janet Bergstrom, Giuliana Muscio, Nick Browne, Michael Marra, Ally Field, Vivian Sobchack, and particularly Denise Mann. In Japan, Yasuko Watanabe and Yukie Kito introduced me to key people in the anime and manga industries. Masaya Hasegawa, Go Wakabayashi, and especially Seki Hiromi were extremely patient in allowing me access to anything and everything in an anime studio that I could imagine. Takashi Otsuka and Morio Hatano were incredibly forthcoming about the creative process. Michihiro Aso and Mami Sugihara helped open my eyes to the publishing world. Any ethnographic study owes a tremendous amount to a number of human participants, many of whom I now consider my friends. Thank you all for the great conversations we shared over beers or ramen. None of this fieldwork could have been completed without two very generous scholarships through UCLA’s Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies from George and Sakaye Aratani. I am eternally in their debt. Above all, thank you to my parents for always pushing my education, from driving me to school on Saturday mornings across the city to study Japanese, to staying up late helping me read my first manga. This study is a product of their love and support. ix VITA 2005 B.A. English Graduated Magna Cum Laude with Honors University of California, Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA 2008-2012 Teaching Assistant Department of Film, Television, and Digital Media Los Angeles, CA 2009 M.A. Film, Television, and Digital Media Awarded Distinction University of California, Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA 2010 John Siegel Fellowship 2010 Sasakawa Fellowship 2011 Hugh Downs Graduate Research Fellowship 2011 UCLA Graduate Research Summer Mentorship 2011-2013 Aratani Field Experience Scholarship PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS Hartzheim, Bryan Hikari. “An Asian Doll in French Clothes: Assimilation and Reception in the Films of Tsuruko Aoki.” Paper presented at Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference, Tokyo, Japan.

Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2015. x Chapter 1: Introduction Japanese anime (animation), manga (comics), and video games have spread over the globe increasingly since the 1990s. This wave of “Japanophillia,” incidentally, has not gone unnoticed by those in prominent positions of influence. “Japanamerica” and “Japanification” are but two of the neologisms that have been coined by critics and scholars to describe this current iteration of Japanese cultural influence.1 As far back as 2002, in fact, Douglas McGray came up with the idea of Japan’s “gross national cool,” or GNC, to describe the nation’s newfound soft power (the ability to influence through attraction and co-option, rather than coercion and force) in the form of highly attractive cultural commodities in the global sphere.2 Japanese policymakers have been swift to capitalize on the trend, pumping millions of yen into a branding strategy known as “Cool Japan,” a catchphrase referring to the planned economic and political influence of the nation’s content industries.3 When the global “success” of anime and manga is discussed in “Cool Japan” terms, issues relating to national identity and Japanese diplomacy are inevitably brought up. In his policy speech to the Diet in 2007, former Prime Minister and self-described otaku (obsessive anime fan) Aso Taro said, “What is important is to be able to induce other countries to listen to Japan. If the use of pop culture or various sub-cultures can be useful in this process, we certainly should make the most of them.”4 Two years later, Aso talked 1 See Roland Kelts Japanimerica: How Japanese Pop Culture Has Invaded the West (New York: Palgrave, 2006) and Mark I. West ed. The Japanification of Children’s Popular Culture (Lanham: Scarecrow Press, 2008). 2 Douglas McGray, “Japan’s Gross National Cool,” Foreign Policy 130 (May/June 2002). 3 Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, Cool Japan Initiative, 2014. <http://www.meti.go.jp/policy/mono_info_service/mono/creative/file/1406CoolJapanInitiative.pdf> (12 February 2015). 4 See the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, “Policy Speech by Minister of Foreign Affairs Taro Aso to the 166th Session of the Diet,” 26 January 2007. 1 about his love for the medium and his desire to build a national manga museum in the center of Akihabara – a district of Tokyo that is already practically a museum for manga and anime.5 Other officials of the Cool Japan initiative have said that one of the goals of the project is to emphasize Japanese cultural exports in trade in order to “foster the brand power of Japan.”6 This importance placed on “brand power” cannot be underestimated; in the post-Cold War era, the role of cultural capital has grown in global politics as the use of military or economic power has decreased.

Dentro de este género, las diversas adaptaciones y reelabo- raciones de mitos y cuentos tradicionales suponen recursos fértiles con los que cubrir las demandas de una industria extremadamente prolífica. Sin embargo, pese a su po- pularidad como objeto de estudio, las exploraciones textuales sobre anime fantástico rara vez se aventuran más allá de las coordenadas temáticas o históricas de sus argu- mentos. El presente artículo persigue atender a la relación entre la intricada narración de dos series televisivas significativas dentro del fantástico en el anime —Kurozuka y Madoka Magica— y la representación de las brujas que las protagonizan.

  • Overview of History of Irish Animation
    Overview of History of Irish Animation i) The history of animation here and the pattern of its development, ii) ii) The contemporary scene, iii) iii) Funding and support, iv) iv) The technological advancement, which can allow filmmakers do more and do it more excitingly, v) v) The educational background. i) History and Development. The history of animation in Ireland is comparable to the history of live action film in Ireland in that in the early years it offered the promise of much to come and stopped really before it got started; indeed in the final analysis animation has even far less to show for itself than its early live action cousin. One outstanding exception is the pioneering work of James Horgan. Horgan became involved in cinema at the end of the 19th century when he acquired a Lumiere camera and established his own moving picture exhibition company for the south show to his audiences - mostly religious events. However soon his eager mind began to turn to the Munster region. As well as projecting regular international shows, Horgan shot local footage to look into cinematography in a scientific way and in fact he made some money by patenting a cog for film traction in the camera, which was widely used. He also experimented with Polaroid film. He then began to dabble in stop frame work - animation - around the year 1909 and considering that the first animation was made in 1906, this is quite significant. His most famous and most popular piece was his dancing Youghal Clock Tower - where the town's best known landmark has to hop into the frame and "manipulate" itself frame by frame into its rightful place in the main street in Youghal.

  • Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation
    Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation Tuomas Sibakov Master’s Thesis East Asian Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Helsinki November 2020 Tiedekunta – Fakultet – Faculty Koulutusohjelma – Utbildningsprogram – Degree Programme Faculty of Humanities East Asian Studies Opintosuunta – Studieinriktning – Study Track East Asian Studies Tekijä – Författare – Author Tuomas Valtteri Sibakov Työn nimi – Arbetets titel – Title Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation Työn laji – Arbetets art – Level Aika – Datum – Month and Sivumäärä– Sidoantal – Number of pages Master’s Thesis year 83 November 2020 Tiivistelmä – Referat – Abstract In this work I examine how imōto-moe, a recent trend in Japanese animation and manga in which incestual connotations and relationships between brothers and sisters is shown, contributes to the sexualization of girls in the Japanese society. This is done by analysing four different series from 2010s, in which incest is a major theme. The analysis is done using visual analysis. The study concludes that although the series can show sexualization of drawn underage girls, reading the works as if they would posit either real or fictional little sisters as sexual targets. Instead, the analysis suggests that following the narrative, the works should be read as fictional underage girls expressing a pure feelings and sexuality, unspoiled by adult corruption. To understand moe, it is necessary to understand the history of Japanese animation. Much of the genres, themes and styles in manga and anime are due to Tezuka Osamu, the “god of manga” and “god of animation”. From the 1950s, Tezuka was influenced by Disney and other western animators at the time.

Mount Holyoke College May 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “In anthropology, you can study anything.” This is what happens when you tell that to an impressionable undergrad. “No, Really: What is Cosplay?” would not have been possible without the individuals of the cosplay community, who gave their time, hotel room space, and unforgettable voices to this project: Tina Lam, Mario Bueno, Rob Simmons, Margaret Huey, Chris Torrey, Chris Troy, Calico Singer, Maxiom Pie, Cassi Mayersohn, Renee Gloger, Tiffany Chang, as well as the countless other cosplayers at AnimeNEXT, Anime Expo, and Otakon during the summer of 2012. A heap of gratitude also goes to Amanda Gonzalez, William Gonzalez, Kimberly Lee, Patrick Belardo, Elizabeth Newswanger, and Clara Bertagnolli, for their enthusiasm for this project—as well as their gasoline. And to my parents, Beth Gersh-Nesic and Dusan Nesic, who probably didn’t envision this eight years ago, letting me trundle off to my first animé convention in a homemade ninja getup and a face full of Watercolor marker. Many thanks as well to the Mount Holyoke College Anthropology Department, and the Office of Academic Deans for their financial support.
