Anime and manga are arguably Japan's most successful cultural exports. What began as a local medium has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar global industry.

Modern anime evolved from manga (comics). In the post-war era, Osamu Tezuka (the "God of Manga") introduced cinematic techniques and deep, often tragic, storytelling to "cartoons" in works like Astro Boy . Unlike Western animation, which was viewed as exclusively for children until the 1990s, Japan produced Grave of the Fireflies and Akira simultaneously—proving animation was a medium for philosophy, horror, and politics.

The Japanese adult video (JAV) industry is a significant part of the country's adult entertainment sector. JAVs often feature performers who engage in various activities, and these videos can range from romantic to more explicit content.
