Kaomoji are emoticons used online to accurately display one’s mood or feelings. They are very convenient on message boards and chat rooms to make your emotions cute and easy to understand. In the English-speaking world, emoticons like :) and XD are often used, but in Japan, a wide range of emoticons like (´･ω･`) and (・∀・) are used. As you can see, these emoticons are very different from their orientation to their complexity (and some might even say their cuteness).
Meet JemmaKuma. She is an American who is obsessed with kaomoji, so much so that she tried to imitate kaomoji expressions in a recent YouTube video. Jemma seems to like both cosplay and drawing. She has even made a tutorial video for Hatsune Miku cosplay on her YouTube. Check out the link below to see Jemma’s entertaining interpretation of various kaomoji faces. The video is really cute! The video is only about two minutes long and ends with キタ━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━! which we were really please with. Which kaomoji is your favorite?
