Especially if you’re familiar with the manga City Hunter. Compare for yourself! Twitter user Gregoire Hellot pointed out that “Zero” single’s cover looks like it could be a City Hunter knock-off, adding that on the upside, this was proof of how international the manga has become. Heh.
You’re an adult. It’s your life. Your body. Make your own choices. But if I’m going to offer one bit of advice, it’s this: Don’t do illegal drugs in Japan. Just don’t.
Respected artist Noriyoshi Ohrai died earlier today, reports the Japanese media. You might not know his name, but you should know his work.
We’ve seen the teaser images. We’ve seen the concept art. But nothing, I repeat nothing, can prepare you for seeing an actual Neon Genesis Evangelion bullet train.
From the sound of it, some English-speaking Splatoon players are either afraid of or annoyed with their Japanese counterparts. A few even hate playing against them.
Konami, the company behind Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill, does not appear to be a fun place to work. That’s according to reports in the Japanese press and new information shared with Kotaku by people close to the company. They describe a game development environment where Big Brother is always watching and where even your snack breaks are logged.
Earlier today in Japan, a special security committee okayed legislation that expands the Japanese military’s role. People outside the Diet building protested as did lawmakers did inside the assembly. And folks on Twitter? They made memes. This is a serious moment in Japanese history as the bills are a reinterpretation of the country’s pacifist constitution, allowing Japan to take a more proactive
Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Nintendo of America: Mr. Iwata is gone, but it will be years before his impact on both Nintendo and the full video game industry will be fully appreciated. He was a strong leader for our company, and his attributes were clear to most everyone: Intelligence, creativity, curiosity and sense of humor. But for those of us fortunate enough to work closely with him, what w
Nintendo has just issued a short statement announcing that president Satoru Iwata has passed away at the age of 55. The statement reads: Nintendo Co., Ltd. deeply regrets to announce that President Satoru Iwata passed away on July 11, 2015 due to a bile duct growth.
Let’s have a look at some of the most frequently asked ones: Do I need to speak Japanese? No. Absolutely not. The first time I came to Japan fourteen years ago, I didn’t know a word of Japanese. (That being said, once you do learn the language, the country really does open up!) Since calling Japan home, I’ve had numerous friends visit me, and none of them spoke a lick of the language, and they all
If you've played games that have breast physics, you've probably seen how uncommon it is for games to show breasts that move like what they actually are: bags of fat affected by gravity. Instead, it's more likely for a game to depict breasts as helium balloons that have minds of their own. Certain games have failed at rendering realistic breasts so widely that some people seem convinced that bad b
Above, you can see a photo the members of Momoiro Clover Z, one of Japan's most famous idol acts, and long-time pop group Rats & Star. And this is apparently how they'll appear on Japanese television next month.
Rooster Teeth animator Monty Oum has passed away, the production studio announced today. The 33-year-old was hospitalized over the weekend for "a severe allergic reaction during a simple medical procedure" that put him in a coma. When the news first hit, fans raised nearly $180,000 for him.
Yesterday, a video allegedly uploaded by ISIS demanded that the Japanese government pay $200 million for two hostages. In it, a cloaked man waving a knife told the Japanese people to pressure their government to pay or the men would die. Online, the country's Twitter users have responded. With a meme.
Forget about pressing buttons. In this fan-made Pokémon demo, you get to actually pick up the Pokeball with your hand, and throw it at the Pokemon you want to capture. Whoa.
For the past few years, Tumblr user 1041uuuha has been creating terrific animated GIFs that look like the most poetic Nintendo game you've never played.
Damien Hypolite, who by day works for Sciences et Avenir, is also a bit of an Assassin's Creed fan. Seeing as the latest game is set in Paris, he figured he'd print out some screenshots, take them to the actual spots in the real world they're based on, and see how they shape up.
Earlier today, a powerful typhoon ravaged Okinawa, Japan. This is serious stuff. People were urged to seek shelter as islands were hit with strong winds and rain. The way that this building was wrecked might surprise you. Above, you can see a restaurant called "Sakae" (栄), which means "glory" in Japanese. Located in the city of Naha, it is a small restaurant with about four tables or so inside and
Yesterday, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe launched a new blog to support women. The wording on the blog is most unfortunate. Above, you can see the top image for the website with Abe's grinning face. In English, "shine" means to sparkle and glitter. In Japanese, "shine" can be read as 死ね (literally, "shine" written in Roman letters), but its meaning is "die."
Ai Takahashi is a former member of Japanese pop group Morning Musume. And recently, she was photographed wearing a most unfortunate shirt. Note: This article contains content some readers might find objectionable. Fellow former Morning Musume member Yuko Nakazawa uploaded a photo of the two, writing on her blog that Takahashi had come to Fukuoka for a TV shoot. This is said photo: Yikes! Wearing a
Good thing there's a new book that aims to correct that! As noted by Kotaku reader Chris Hill, Japan recently got a new English instruction book called How to Use Fuck (正しいFUCKの使い方 or Tadashii Fuck no Tsukaikata). The book gives examples and explanations so people in Japan can improve their f-bomb abilities.
In English language cyberspace, there is a "totally looks like" meme. You've seen it: two different photos are compared because, well, they totally look like each other. Japan has a similar meme. As previously explained, in Japanese the meme is called "kanzen ni icchi" (完全に一致) or "complete match." Below, you can see a collection of complete match pics from Naver.
This is researcher Haruko Obokata. Yesterday, she held a press conference, apologizing for the numerous errors in her stem cell study. One Japanese paper seems to have decided to troll the young scientist with giant photos of her face. As The Wall Street Journal reports, Obokata's research was initially thought to be groundbreaking, but now her publication is under investigation. In the press conf
With all the turmoil in Crimea, a press conference clip of the new Prosecutor of the Crimean republic, Natalia Poklonskaya, went viral in Japan, spawning anime-style fan art. As website Voice of Russia points out, Poklonskaya recently gave a no-nonsense press conference. "I tell the truth and I'm not afraid of this truth. I am no criminal...," she's quoted as saying. "Let them bring legal cases ag
For students in Japan, it sometimes seems like many are only studying English to pass tests. What fun is that?
Early this morning U.S. Eastern time, after 16 days, seven hours, 50 minutes and 19 seconds, the combined strength of hundreds of thousands of Twitch viewers defeated Pokémon Red. You can watch the final battle against Blue right here.
Ask anyone who’s ever seen an adult movie in Japan. Or, at least, anyone who has ever spent some time on the internet. More than likely, they’ll know this swimming pool. This article was originally published on February 11, 2014. It contains content some readers might find objectionable.
Now, there's a chance that "Set Yourself Free" could be a fake advert, given that filmmakers Henry Inglis and Aaron McCann are a pair of comedians. The Learn for Life website mentioned on the YouTube page doesn't have anything at all by way of education-focused propaganda, either. Think of it this way, then: if this is a joke, you don't have to feel bad about laughing. If it isn't, then we're all
This is Natsuki Okamoto. For years, she was a pin-up model. Now, she's a commentator on a news program. You know, a talking head. And on the program, she wears outfits like this. I'm not kidding. She must be the most outrageous fashion plate on Japanese television. If you've ever watched television in Japan, I'm sure you can agree: That's saying something.
