Japanophilia is the appreciation and love of Japanese culture, people, history and media. Chris is a huge fan of japanese entertainment and culture from a very long time. Sonic, Pokemon, Playstation and anime are all Japanese entertainment that Chris enjoys a lot.

He has chosen Japanese media over American alternatives multiple times, [[PS3] over the XBox, Sonic over The Adventures of The American Rabbit (though one can't blame Chris for leaving that behind), he has also said that a lot of media is better in Japanese.[1]Chris also ranks Japan 2nd on his list of countries he wants to visit. Since going to The Buckingham Palace to claim his crown is more important to him.[2]

In actuality, Chris doesn't know anything about Japan, all his knowledge comes from anime and parodies of anime.

People

Chris shows a positive outlook at Japanese people, he hadn't excluded Japanese women from his Love quest and has said he would date and go deeper with Japanese women.[3][4] Though Chris's tendency to not care about people other than himself arises here again - He has regularly confused chinese and japanese people and has also created a stereotypical asian character.

Culture

Chris apparently is a huge fan of Japanese culture, when asked what he likes about their culture, he said he likes their technology, ninjas, kung-fu (a chinese martial art) and the peaceful way of life outside of violence.[5] What the last part means is anyone's guess.

In the mailbag when he was asked the same question, he replied "I appreciate the portions japan culture that promote cleaniness in the home, showing gratitude, and those good and kind gestures"[6] I.e he enjoys qualities that he himself lacks completely.

Chris also spends 31.5$ per month on the premium edition of the TokyoTreat box, which gets him some cheap snacks and trinkets all the way from Japan. Till date Chris has spent a 1000$ on this since at least October 2017[7]

Language

Chris has shown interest in the Japanese language, he said if he could learn any language instantly, he would pick Japanese. [8]Like all things Chris does, his actual knowledge of Japanese is quite shallow. He uses the popular weeaboo words such as “Arigato“, “Kawaii“, “Sayonara“ and “Senpai“. A troll in Mailbag 3 compared Chris to a gay man in Japanese but he was oblivious to it. In his videos for Miyamoto, he pronounces the Japanese names incorrectly. He also uses the honorific "-san" incorrectly.[9]

Media

Games

Main article: Chris and video games

The raison d'être of Chris's life, Chris has been playing video games since he was a child. He has played many video games with a many of them from Japan. Sonic, Pokemon. But Chris also plays many games made in Europe and the US too. So his tastes in video games are much more varied.

His tastes in consoles however are much different, he was a huge Sony fanboy, buying anything they put out, he also showed tolerance to the Wii. His hate for the Xbox, the only major non-Japanese console mostly stemmed from Chris's brand loyalty moreso than hatred for it not being Japanese.

Though it wouldn't be too far fetched to think that he chose the PS3 over the Xbox due to him considering the Japanese product to be superior. As he has done this with other media.

I.e he may have chosen the PlayStation as it was Japanese, but hated the Xbox because it was a rival to the PlayStation and not because it wasn't Japanese. The reason he didn't show resentment to the Wii could be because it wasn't considered to be a competition to the PS3 and he is a large Nintendo fan.

Television

Main article: Chris and television

Chris being a huge connoisseur of TV shows and movies has stated his deep interest in anime multiple times, he watches anime with Japanese audio and English subtitles[10] and enjoys Japanese animation over American animation as he considers the anime stories and art styles to be superior to the American counterparts. He also likes the fact that censorship is more lenient in Japan due to which some minor cuss words are allowed in TV-Y rated shows. [11][12]

His interest in anime peaked after he met Megan, to the point where he started incorporating anime-esque art styles into his comics. He continues to use the same art style to this date although with minor changes. Many tropes he uses in the comics are also directly lifted from Excel Saga, Dragonball and Sailor Moon.[13] Chris also finds many of the japanese theme songs to be superior.[14]

Most of his favourite shows and movies are all Japanese such as Sailor Moon, Samurai Pizza Cats, Excel saga, Sonic X, Transformers[15] and Pokemon movies.

Is Chris a Weeaboo

No. A weeaboo is a slang term for a Western person who is obsessed with Japanese culture, often regarding it as superior to all other cultures. Though Chris does have some qualities that he shares with actual weebs, he doesn't consider Japan to be the best, he merely enjoys certain things from Japan more than the ones available locally.
