Kaomoji: The Cute Text Art That Expresses Emotions

Kaomoji Japanese Emoticon

 

Angry Japanese Emoticons

For most angry Japanese emoticons just use > and < for eyes. You can also use ≧ or ≦. Two ¬’s makes sort of a displeased looking face. You can also use slashes or ヽ and ノ to make it look like the emoticon is throwing up it’s hands in anger and if you really want to express anger use a 凸 for a middle finger.

(*≧m≦*) (>_<) (,,#゚Д゚)
ヽ(o`皿′o)ノ o(>< )o o( ><)o
ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ (>д<) (;≧皿≦)

Apologizing Emoticons

These emoticons are supposed to represent someone bowing down because they’re apologizing or possibly thanking someone for something. These use the letter m to show hands and the eyes are low to the ground.

m(_ _)m m(._.)m m(._.)m
(ノ´д`) (シ_ _)シ <(_ _)>
<(。_。)>  m(_ _;;m  m(¬0¬)m

Bear Emoticons

The main thing with Japanese bear emoticons is the mouth. You want to use (エ), ㉨ or possibly a ω. Everything else is pretty much the same as other Japanese emoticons.

( ̄(エ) ̄) (。・ω・。) (●`・(エ)・´●)
(*ノ・ω・) 川´・ω・`川 ( (ミ´ω`ミ))
ヾ(T(エ)Tヽ) \(・`(ェ)・)/ ⊂(ο・㉨・ο)⊃

⊂(◎(工)◎)⊃ (● ̄(エ) ̄●)  《/( ̄(エ) ̄)ゞ》
⁝⁞⁝⁞ʕु•̫͡•ʔु☂⁝⁞⁝⁝   (✪㉨✪)

Ψ( ̄(エ) ̄)Ψ This bear I think looks especially awesome
┏((= ̄(エ) ̄=))┛An awesome dancing bear
・㉨・ It’s very simple but it totally works

Cat Emoticons

Cats are pretty much just most regular Japanese emoticons with =’s added to them as whiskers. ^’s can also be used for ears and you can use ・ェ・ for a cat’s nose.

(=^・ェ・^=) (=^‥^=) (=^・^=)
V(=^・ω・^=)v (=`ω´=) o(^・x・^)o
\(=^‥^)/’` ( =①ω①=) d(=^・ω・^=)b
(=TェT=) (=;ェ;=) ヽ(=^・ω・^=)丿
(=^・ω・^)y= (^-人-^) ヽ(^‥^=ゞ)
(^・ω・^ ) (=^-ω-^=) b(=^‥^=)o
(.=^・ェ・^=) (=´∇`=) ヾ(=゚・゚=)ノ
~(=^‥^)ノ ~(=^‥^)/ (=xェx=)
(=;ェ;=) (=`ェ´=) (^・o・^)ノ”
(^._.^)ノ └(=^‥^=)┐ =’①。①’=

<(*ΦωΦ*)> This is totally an Azumanga Diaoh cat!

Confused Emoticons

For confused Japanese emoticons you can use ・ or ◎ for blank looking eyes. ゞ makes a perfect arm scratching a head to indicate thought. You can also add question marks to any of these to show even more confusion.

(´・_・`) (◎_◎;) (`_´)ゞ
(◎-◎;) (・_・ヾ ( ̄(エ) ̄)ゞ
(-_-)ゞ゛ (‘◇’)? ヽ(゜Q。)ノ?
(´`;) ? 【・ヘ・?】 【・_・?】
( ・◇・)? (゜-゜) ヾ(´・ ・`。)ノ”
「(゚ペ) ( ?´_ゝ`) o(´^`)o
(´−`) ンー (」゚ペ)」 (•ิ_•ิ)?
「(°ヘ°) (。ヘ°) ヽ(゜Q。)ノ?
(´`;) ? 〈(゜。゜) (゜。゜)
く(^_・)ゝ (^~^;)ゞ  ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ (⊙_◎)  ಠ_ರೃ

Dancing Emoticons

For dancing Japanese emoticons you basically just take happy looking ones and add 〜, ノ or ヘ for arms. You can do two emoticons at once with the arms facing different ways to make it seem like the emoticon is dancing in both directions. Adding ” beside the arms makes it seem like it’s shaking too.

ヘ(^_^ヘ) (ノ^_^)ノ o(^^o)
(o^^)o (ノ´_ゝ`)ノ ヾ(^ ^ゞ
(ノ‥)ノ ( ノ^ω^)ノ゚ ヾ(*´∇`)ノ
ヾ(・ω・*)ノ (*ノ´□`)ノ 。(⌒∇⌒。)

ヾ(゚∀゚ゞ) ヽ(´ー`)ノ ヾ(*⌒ヮ⌒*)ゞ
〈( ^.^)ノ ┌(★o☆)┘ └(★o★)┐
♪(┌・。・)┌


Dead Emoticons

You can easily make dead Japanese emoticons by just using x’s, +’s or *’s for eyes. Keeping the mouth low down with a _ makes it seem like the face is lying down on the ground.

(x_x;) (*_*) (×_×;)
(×_×# (#+_+) (+_+)
ヾ(×× ) ツ (Ω_Ω) へ(>_<へ)
(*0*;) (u_u)  (✖╭╮✖)
(º_º) ٩(×̯×)۶ (ñ_ñ)
(o_-)


Defeat of Surrender Emoticons

For defeated Japanese emoticons you can usually use _’s for eyes that are low to the ground. You can also use \ and / or similar characters to show arms raised in defeat. Adding a ; for a drop of sweat always works too. You can also add a 尸 to make it look like the emoticon is waving a white flag.

\(--)/ \(-___________-;)/ /(;-_-)
~(>_<。)\ ((-_-)) (ー△ー;)
(◎ー◎;) (/ _ ; ) (o_ _)o
ヘ( ̄  ̄;ヘ) (;*´Д`)ノ (ノ_ _)ノ
ヘ(_ _ヘ) (ノ ̄д ̄)ノ (;-_-)ノ
o(-_-;*) ヘ(;´Д`ヘ) (;-_-)/
(oT-T)尸 ヘ(´o`)ヘ (一。一;;)
(ノ#-_-)ノ (~~~) y-(~。~;)
( -。-)


Dog Emoticons

The main thing with Japanese dog emoticons is the ears. Use a U for big floppy ears, u for little ears or even V’s for ears as well. You can also use ∵ on either side of the mouth to make it look more dog like.

Uo・ェ・oU ∪・ω・∪ U。・ェ・。U
▽・ω・▽ ▽・w・▽ U^皿^U
v・。・V UTェTU (^・(I)・^)
U・♀・U o(U・ω・)⊃ (^・x・^)
(U・x・U) ▼o・ェ・o▼ U^ェ^U
U ̄ー ̄U ┌U・ェ・U┘ └@(・ェ・)@┐
ヾ(●ω●)ノ Adventure time! (〓 ̄(∵エ∵) ̄〓)

Drinking Emoticons

You can basically take any Japanese emoticon and add cups to it with a 口, 旦 or 且.

o口(・∀・ ) (。・・)_且 且_(゚◇゚;)ノ゙
~旦_(^O^ ) (  ゜Д゜)⊃旦 ( ´・ω・`)_且~
( ^-^)_旦”" (*^◇^)_旦 (*`▽´)_旦~~
~(=^‥^)_旦~ (^-^)_日 ~~旦_(・o・;)
( -_-)旦~ (#´ー´)旦 且_(・_・ )

Evil, Plotting or Sneaky Emoticons

For evil looking Japanese emoticons you pretty much want to use ` and ´ for the eyes. You can use pretty much anything else for a mouth and other elements and it’ll still look evil.

(・`ω´・) ψ(`∇´)ψ (`ー´)
(。・`ω´・。) o(`ω´*)o | `Д´|
(`ε´) (σ-`д・´) (`Д´*)
(=`〜´=) (メ`ロ´)/ Ψ(`▽´)Ψ
^(#`∀´)_Ψ (*-`ω´- )人 (ц`ω´ц*)
(`∀´)Ψ ψ(*`ー´)ψ Ψ(`◇´)Ψ
“ψ(`∇´)ψ


Fish Emoticons

Japanese fish emoticons are somewhat different as they’re from the side and very much look like swimming fish. You can add or subtract brackets to change the length of the fish. It’s also very easy to make crabs as well.

>=< >゜))))彡 ζ°)))彡
>_)))彡 >^)))< ~~ (°)#))<<
(:。)ミ C:。ミ (Q )) >
(°))<< >°))))彡 ≧〔゜゜〕≦
ミ(・・)ミ V=(° °)=V <コ:ミ
(゜))<< ミ[°°]ミ くコ:彡
ミ..ミ


Friends Emoticons

These emoticons are really just happy looking ones holding up their hands to each other. You can combine pretty much any emoticons and join their hands together with a 人, /\ or メ.

ヽ(∀゜ )人( ゜∀)ノ (*・∀・)/\(・∀・*)

Greetings or Goodbyes Emoticons

These are pretty much standard happy or joyful emoticons usually with a forward or back slash for an arm. You can also use characters such as ヾ to make it seem as if the emoticon is shaking it’s arm.

ヾ(^∇^) (^-^*)/ ( ゚▽゚)/
( ^_^)/ (^o^)/ (^ _ ^)/
( ´ ▽ ` )ノ (ノ´∀`*)ノ ヾ(´・ω・`)

ヽ(๏∀๏ )ノ


Happy or Joyful Emoticons

For happy looking emoticons you usually want to use eyes that are high up. The best characters to use for these are ^, ´, `, or ⌒ among others. The best characters to use for mouths are ones like ▽, ∀ or ω if you want to be cute. You can also add * or # for rosey cheeks or add waving arms with things like \, /, ヽ or ノ. You can also always throw in stars or hearts too.

Hiding Emoticons

You can take pretty much any emoticon and cut it in half or into some other size with a | to make it seem as if it’s peaking out from behind a wall.

|・ω・`) ヘ(・_| |−・;)
|ω・) |_・)

Infatuation or in Love Emoticons

For Japanese emoticons that express infatuation or love you pretty much just need to add hearts to happy looking emoticons. You can also add rosey cheeks or even the Chinese character for love, 愛.

(´∀`)♡ (‘∀’●)♡ (*´▽`*)
(*°∀°)=3 (´ω`♡%) ヽ(愛´∀`愛)ノ
♡o。.(✿ฺ。 ✿ฺ) (。・ω・。)ノ♡ (●´∀`)ノ♡

(ღ˘⌣˘ღ) (。’▽’。)♡   (●´□`)♡
 (。♥‿♥。) (✿ ♥‿♥) ♥╣[-_-]╠♥

Kissing Emoticons

For kissing emoticons you usually want to use something like  ̄ or – for closed eyes. For a mouth use either ε or з. You can even add a “chuu” which is the Japanese sound for a kiss or you can write it in Katakana by using チュー.

(´ε` )♡ ~(^з^)-☆ |°з°|
(_ε_) (‘ε’) |( ̄3 ̄)|
( ̄ε ̄@) (*^3^) (´ε`*)
(○´3`)ノ (☆´3`) (* ̄з ̄)

(-ε- ) (@ーεー@) (*^3^)/~☆
ლ(|||⌒εー|||)ლ   (╯3╰)  (ΘεΘ;)

Laughing Emoticons

These are essentially happy looking emoticons with an open mouth.

(・∀・) ( ´∀`) (⌒▽⌒)
(^v^)  (*≧▽≦)ノシ))   (●´艸`)
 (*´艸`*) (。 >艸<) (*≧艸≦)
(*・艸・)


Mellow or Whatever Emoticons

The key to mellow looking Japanese emoticons is pretty much just having arms pointing upwards with \, /, ┗, ┛ or ノ.

ヽ(´ー`)┌ ┗┐ヽ(′Д、`*)ノ┌┛ ヽ( ´¬`)ノ
┗┃・ ■ ・┃┛ ヾ(´A`)ノ゚ ヽ(・_・;)ノ

Miscellaneous Animal Emoticons

When you’re making Japanese animal emoticons pretty much all you need to do is use a ω for the mouth and it’ll look like some kind of rodent or bear or something like that.

(=゚ω゚)ノ (○’ω’○) [´・ω・`]
ヾ(。・ω・。) (´-ω-`) (*・ω・)

These are other somewhat random Japanese emoticons that didn’t really fit into other categories or I couldn’t quite figure out what they were trying to show. You can feel free to use these as well if you like them.

◎☆(♯××)┘ ヘ(。□°)ヘ

Pig Emoticons

The main thing for Japanese pig emoticons is the snout which you can make with two 0s, Os, os or a ∞. You can do pretty much anything else you want for the rest of the face.

Sad or Crying Emoticons

The main part of sad Japanese emoticons is the tears. These are usually shown with a T or sometimes a ;. You can also throw other small circles around the outside of the face to show tears flying as well. You can also use characters like / and \ to cover up their eyes to make it look like the emoticon is sobbing. You can pretty much use whatever you want for a mouth.

( ; ; ) (T_T) ( TДT)
(ToT) (T▽T) (‘A`)
(;_・)A single tear… (T_T) ((T.T; )

Scared Emoticons

(ノдヽ) ヽ(゚Д゚)ノ (/。\)
(/_\) (/.\)

Shy, Embarrassed or Bashful Emoticons

For singing Japanese emoticons you can basically take any dancing Japanese emoticon, give it an open mouth with something like a O, △ or □ and adding a musical note like ♪ before or after the face always helps too.

(´▽`)ノ♪ “ヽ(´▽`)ノ” ヽ(´▽`;)/♪
ヽ(´・`)ノ ヽ(○´∀`)ノ♪ ヾ(´ρ`)〃

Sleeping, Tired or Waking Up Emoticons

These emoticons usually use some kind of horizontal line to indication closed eyes. You can also add bubbles or even Zs to indicate sleep. You can also use a ρ, ο or something like that to indicate yawning.

(*´ο`*) ε-(´・`) \(o ̄∇ ̄o)/
\(´O`)/ [(--)]zzz (´~`)
