Abstract: Abstract It is well known that Japanese pop culture is important for Japan’s domestic economy and international image. However, its political impacts are relatively unexpected and unpredictable, especially when we notice that Japanese cultural products have become highly globalized and accepted and interpreted differently by local consumers all over the world. Figuring out the whole picture of the political impacts of Japanese pop culture on the world is as complicated as solving an enormous jigsaw puzzle, as this process is in constant flux. Yet, specific and updated case studies help us to catch a glimpse of the picture. In this chapter, the case of Hong Kong in the 2010s will be discussed.
