The word Kawaii, in Japanese written 可愛い, is a Japanese adjective that means pretty or cute.
And now... a bit of history to better understand the kawaii phenomenon that arose in Japan with the appearance of toys in the form of stuffed animals.
Around 1967, the Rika-chan doll appeared on the Japanese market, whose cute appearance attracted the attention of girls. This term is used today in Japanese popular culture and in the entertainment industry, in fashion, food, toys, etc.
The nameneko appeared in the 1980s and were cats dressed as thugs for motorcycle gangs.
Around 1983 and 1984, the essence of kawaii began to gain greater acceptance, especially in women's magazines, but quickly also in men's magazines.
Also in the 1980s, one of the main icons of kawaii, Hello Kitty, belonging to the Sanrio company, gained momentum. Hello Kitty is a kitten that had been created in 1974. Around 1980, it was reinvented by changing its design, with the help of the suggestions of the girls and girls who were the main clients. She drew it without the thick lines to give it a softer look, and her posture was varied. Around 1985, Hello Kitty appeared hugging a teddy bear and caused great success.
In subsequent years, customers demanded a more mature look for the kitten, with a black and white version appearing, indicating that Hello Kitty fans remained loyal over time.
Building on the Hello Kitty experience, kawaii took on a more prominent commercial connotation for the rest of the 1980s. Companies began to create products with designs that had a degree of cuteness and charm in some way. It didn't matter what kind of product, whether it was toys, electronics, or even cars. For example, in 1987 the Nissan Be-1 was launched, and it had great sales due to its kawaii aesthetic, with a curvilinear appearance.
Towards the 1990s, an interesting change occurred, companies that had products with kawaii characteristics ran out of ideas and the kawaii would be taken up by the otaku (people who are fans of anime, video games and idols and musical groups). For otaku, anything considered kawaii quickly becomes a trend that is followed by all otakus. Within the otaku culture, what is kawaii has been redefined. To an ordinary person it can simply mean something "funny" something that an otaku describes as "kawaii".
However, this universe has continued to develop and to describe something that can commonly be considered kawaii (cute), an otaku now describes it with another newer term: Moé. Moe (萌え) also moé, literally 'bud'. Describes the euphoria inspired by an animated character or musical idols. This euphoria generates a feeling of appreciation, as opposed to the feeling of relaxation, simplicity and tenderness that something traditionally kawaii causes. Just as its literal meaning expresses, lo moé expresses a feeling of adoration that "sprouts from within", it can be said that it is something more intellectual.
The perception of kawaii has had a presence in all areas of society in recent years in Japan, including in the nation's government. In 2006, Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, upon taking office, described his vision of Japan as "a beautiful country" through four fundamental principles, one of which referred to valuing its culture and traditions, its environment, and its history.
On February 26, 2009, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan designated three representatives of Japanese popular culture as "Kawaii Ambassadors" with the important mission of spreading this trend to the world. The ambassadors were a representative of lolita fashion, a representative of Harajuku fashion, and a representative of Japanese school fashion.
