Kaomoji : The Japanese Smileys

You do like to put emoticons in your SMS, email or message, right? The Japanese too! But they did even better.
No more simple and boring emoticons! Here are the Kaomoji! These are cute emoticons, more elaborate than in the West and which can express in 1,000 different ways our feelings or look like heads of animals. In this case, the Kaomoji actually have a head or face, unlike emoticons.

Kaomoji's Structure

The Kaomoji replace the smileys or emoticons in Japan. They are similar to this one (*_*). In kaomoji, the parentheses are the facial delimitation. The asterisks are the eyes and the underscore the mouth. In some cases, by changing the character's eyes, the expression associated with them is accentuated like these (T_T) or ^^. Sometimes the parentheses disappear or are replaced by braces.

The mouth may also have different representations depending on the feeling expressed. The long dash (or underscore) can be replaced by the dash or by a point to make a more cute mouth. The apostrophe, the double apostrophe and the semicolon represent apprehension or embarrassment. When a Kaomoji is followed by 3 slashes like these ///, it shows embarrassment more like when one blushes.

Kaomoji for all !

There are all kinds of Kaomoji. They are much cuter than smileys and much more expressive. They can express feelings like love, joy, anger, sadness or embarrassment. But these Japanese-style emoticons can also represent animals like bears, cats, dogs or birds.

Here we offer some of the most representative and repairs divided into 4 major categories, each divided into 4 sub-categories: Japanese smileys representing good mood (excited / happy / love / celebration), those expressing bad moods (confuse / sick / sad / worried), those who express fairly neutral feelings and emotions of animals.
