Kaomoji [顔文字] are text face emoji, a style of Japanese emoticons composed of Japanese characters and punctuation. They are used to express emotion in text messages and internet communication in messengers like Whatsapp, Telegram or social networks like Facebook and Instagram.
The word Kaomoji is a combination of Kao [顔] which means face and Moji [文字] which means character and writing. Because its origin is Japanese, it is common to find these writings on social networks in Japan as Line.

Japanese people believe that the eyes are the mirror of the human soul. Therefore, unlike western emoticons, where attention is paid to the mouth, in Japanese emoticons the most important part is the eyes. Also, Kaomoji are so popular because you don't have to read them sideways like western emoticons.
The Japanese are great with drawings and arts, and they can convey a variety of emotions just with a character's face, we can see this in anime and manga.
In fact, there are thousands of Japanese emoticons, some more extravagant than others, some that fill up to 100 lines on a page. In this article, we will leave a list of small Kaomoji separated into categories.
At the end of our giant list of text emoticons, we are also going to share some apps where you can find more kaomoji.

Download a Kaomoji App
We know it's not always easy to copy and paste emoji. With that in mind, in addition to our huge list of Japanese kaomoji separated by category, we are also going to share a list of apps for Android and iOS that you can look for in your Store, to install and be able to copy other emojis.
Kaomoji - Japanese Emoticons is the most popular app of all, but it's a generic name, so you'll likely find several apps with similar titles, all of which are functional.
Even because it's not that important, it's just an application that displays a list of special characters that form drawings. If you don't want to fill up your Smartphone's memory, we recommend saving this article to your favorites, so you don't have to install anything.
The advantage of the app is that there are more than 10,000 Japanese text emoticons. Our list is small and has about 600. For this reason you can download the recommended app or any other by searching for the keywords:
- Kaomoji
- Japanese Emoticons
- Emoji Text
- 顔文字
Another app I would like to recommend is Emoticon Dictionary, it is a dictionary of emoticons in text, where people can share those gigantic emoji that occupy even sheets of paper. This app is limitless!
You can also install the Kaomoji Keyboard, which adds to your keyboard an option of hundreds of emoji in text, like that menu of traditional emoticons that we have on cell phones.
Other apps are:
- Smiley&Emoticons5000 [iOS]
- Girl's Kaomoji Jiten 5000
- Cute Emoticon
Do we use Kanji and Ideogram in Kaomoji?
Yes, it is possible to find ideograms in Japanese emoticons, often just for visual purposes, but they can also carry meaning. If you don't know how to write such an ideogram in Japanese, or don't understand its meaning, we recommend watching the video below:
