National Cultural Connotation in Japanese Anime --Taking Detective Conan as an Example
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Japanese animation enjoys a high international reputation, and the animation industry is one of the most influential industries in Japan. It not only entertains the public, but also spreads Japanese national cultural values. Among them, Detective Conan has been broadcasted continuously for more than 20 years and is one of the most influential phenomenal anime works in Japan. Culture is the root and soul of a country, which can unite social consensus and enhance the sense of national identity. One of the major reasons for the great success of Detective Conan is its close integration with Japanese national culture. This paper takes Detective Conan as an example, selects the case of combining the anime plot with Japanese national culture, and analyses the mapping of Japanese animation on Japanese national culture. It helps to improve the knowledge of Japanese culture, and also provides a direction for the development of China’s animation industry.
