The Diffusion of Foreign Cultural Products: The Case Analysis of Japanese Comics (Manga) Market in the US Takeshi Matsui Hitotsubashi University/Princeton University Abstract This paper outlines the historical development of the US manga (Japanese comics) industry from the 1980s through the present in order to address the question why foreign cultural products become popular in offshore markets in spite of cultural difference. This paper focuses on local publishers as “gatekeepers” in the introduction of foreign culture. Using complete data on manga titles published in the US market from 1980 to 2006 (n=1,058), this paper shows what kinds of manga have been translated, published, and distributed for over twenty years and how the competition between the two market leaders, Viz and Tokyopop, created the rapid market growth.

    Manga as a Teaching Tool 1 Manga as a Teaching Tool: Comic Books Without Borders Ikue Kunai, California State University, East Bay Clarissa C. S. Ryan, California State University, East Bay Proceedings of the CATESOL State Conference, 2007 Manga as a Teaching Tool 2 Manga as a Teaching Tool: Comic Books Without Borders The [manga] titles are flying off the shelves. Students who were not interested in EFL have suddenly become avid readers ...students get hooked and read [a] whole series within days. (E. Kane, personal communication, January 17, 2007) For Americans, it may be difficult to comprehend the prominence of manga, or comic books, East Asia.1. Most East Asian nations both produce their own comics and publish translated Japanese manga, so Japanese publications are popular across the region and beyond. Japan is well-known as a highly literate society; what is less well-known is the role that manga plays in Japanese text consumption (Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco). 37% of all publications sold in Japan are manga of one form or another, including monthly magazines, collections, etc. (Japan External Trade Organization [JETRO], 2006). Although Japan has less than half the population of the United States, manga in all formats amounted to sales within Japan of around 4 billion dollars in 2005 (JETRO, 2006). This total is about seven times the United States' 2005 total comic book, manga, and graphic novel sales of 565 million dollars (Publisher's Weekly, 2007a, 2007b). Additionally, manga is closely connected to the Japanese animation industry, as most anime2 television series and films are based on manga; manga also provides inspiration for Japan's thriving video game industry.

  • Elements of Realism in Japanese Animation Thesis Presented In
    Elements of Realism in Japanese Animation Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By George Andrew Stey Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Professor Richard Edgar Torrance, Advisor Professor Maureen Hildegarde Donovan Professor Philip C. Brown Copyright by George Andrew Stey 2009 Abstract Certain works of Japanese animation appear to strive to approach reality, showing elements of realism in the visuals as well as the narrative, yet theories of film realism have not often been applied to animation. The goal of this thesis is to systematically isolate the various elements of realism in Japanese animation. This is pursued by focusing on the effect that film produces on the viewer and employing Roland Barthes‟ theory of the reality effect, which gives the viewer the sense of mimicking the surface appearance of the world, and Michel Foucault‟s theory of the truth effect, which is produced when filmic representations agree with the viewer‟s conception of the real world. Three directors‟ works are analyzed using this methodology: Kon Satoshi, Oshii Mamoru, and Miyazaki Hayao. It is argued based on the analysis of these directors‟ works in this study that reality effects arise in the visuals of films, and truth effects emerge from the narratives. Furthermore, the results show detailed settings to be a reality effect common to all the directors, and the portrayal of real-world problems and issues to be a truth effect shared among all. As such, the results suggest that these are common elements of realism found in the art of Japanese animation.

  • Chapter One Introduction
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1.Background of Study Japan has so many traditions of folklore that had inherited for generation whether in story form or in tradition form. With some creativity and existing technology that they had, some Japanese filmmaker has succeeded by making some Japanese folklore into more interesting form and well known by people whether inside Japan or outside Japan. According to Kitayama “Folklore is a stories shared by folk people from the past and these stories are similar to myths, except that they are related more to human matters than to supernatural beings” (Kitayama 2005: 85) By this quotation the writer argue that folklore is cultural product which is produced by people in the past and it is contained of myth and usually, the society will connect the folklore to supernatural even more to human matters. As emphasized by Lindahl, Although many people regard a “folktale” as a fictional form, I use the term here to apply to any traditional tale, whether its tellers consider it true, or false, or both. Thus, the scope of the tale extends far beyond fiction to encompass belief tales, personal experience stories, and accounts of major historical events (Lindahl, 2004: 200). Based on the quotation above, the writer argues that folklore acknowledges the practice of labeling narratives based on the element of belief, he also realizes the inherent story within each and the tendency of storytellers to use a little fiction and a little nonfiction in crafting their stories. Lindahl uses this terminology to put the focus on the storytellers themselves and help the reader to recognize the relationship between tale and teller.

  • Early Oshii. from Patlabor to Ghost in the Shell : a Scientist Jumped, and Became a Woman
    Early Oshii. From Patlabor to Ghost in the Shell : a scientist jumped, and became a woman. Camille Akmut January 20, 2020 Abstract Before Mamoru Oshii gained international acclaim with the 1995 Ghost in the Shell movie, he had already developed many of its themes in the two Patlabor movies (1989 and 1993, respectively). Here we introduce the first of these with a thesis (the fall of the programmer mirrors the birth of the gender- ambiguous cyborg) as well as notes from the history of computer science and technology. "Patlabor for me was a major film in many ways, and I think it became my turning point. I know I am what I am today because of Patlabor."{ he declared himself. 1 Introduction : Patlabor 1, a scientist learns to die \The scientific mission of the philosopher is to learn to die", Canguilhem told us via proxy, the Stoics, in "Life and Death". || Context for the time period of Patlabor 1 's release has already been provided, though not specifically related to it, and not entirely satisfying. For many decades, (...) the more ethnocentric characters of Japanese manga/anime pop culture were [held] too exotic to ever interest the average American. In the 1960s Japanese TV imports like Astro Boy were banished to the remotest time slots (...). A video store may have had one Kurosawa movie in its foreign section. But in the 1990s the growing hip-hop, pluralistic culture embraced Japanese cultural forms as an alternative to western iconography, creating an international street cyberpunk. Kung fu masters, samurai, and ninjas were no longer archaic historical artifacts, but cool modern conventions.

  • Popular Culture
    Web Japan http://web-japan.org/ POPULAR CULTURE A wide spectrum of popular tastes Manga With the appearance of writer-illustrator Tezuka Osamu after World War II, so-called “story manga,” or illustrated publications in comic book format, developed in a somewhat unique way in Japan. At one time, the main readers of such publications were people born during the “baby boom” of 1947–1949, but as those readers grew older, many different types of manga came into being. Beginning in the 1960s, manga readership steadily expanded to include everyone from the very young to people in their thirties and forties. As of 2016, manga accounted for 33.8% of the volume of all books and magazines sold in Japan, with their influence being felt in various art forms and the culture at large. Though some story manga are aimed at small children who are just beginning to learn to read, others are geared toward somewhat older boys and/or girls, as well as a general Manga comics readership. There are gag manga, which Manga magazines on sale in a store.
