kaomojiya

Welcome! I'm the creator behind Kaomojiya, a curated collection of Japanese text emoticons known as kaomoji. Whether you're expressing joy (*^_^*), gratitude (m(_ _)m), or surprise (O_O), kaomoji let you communicate emotions using nothing but plain text characters -- no special software, no emoji keyboards, just universal text that works on every device and platform worldwide.
As someone fascinated by how people connect across different languages and cultures, I believe kaomoji represent one of the most beautiful examples of cross-cultural digital communication. Born in Japanese internet culture, these text-based faces have traveled across borders and are now used by people of all nationalities. For anyone starting a new chapter in another country, these small expressive symbols can help bridge language gaps and add warmth to everyday conversations.
