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

Japanese people believe that the eyes are the mirror of the human soul. Therefore, unlike Western emoticons, where the focus is on the mouth, in Japanese emoticons the most important part is the eyes. Additionally, Kaomoji are so popular because you don’t have to read them sideways like Western emoticons.
The Japanese are great at drawing and art, and they can convey a wide range of emotions using just a character’s face; we can see this clearly in anime and manga.
Actually, there are thousands of Japanese emoticons, some more extravagant than others; some even fill up 100 lines of a page. In this article, we will provide a list of small Kaomoji separated into categories.
At the end of our huge list of text emoticons, we will also share some apps where you can find even more kaomoji.

Download a Kaomoji App
We know that it’s not always easy to just copy and paste emojis. With that in mind, in addition to our huge list of Japanese kaomoji sorted by category, we’re also going to share a list of Android and iOS apps that you can look for in your app store to install and copy even more emojis.
Kaomoji – Japanese Emoticons is the most popular app of all, but it’s a generic name, so you will probably find several apps with similar titles, all functional.
After all, it’s not that important—it’s just an app that shows a list of special characters that form pictures. 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 it has more than 10,000 Japanese text emoticons. Our list is small, with about 600. For this reason, you can download the recommended app or any other by searching with the keywords:
- Kaomoji
- Japanese Emoticons
- Emoji Text
- 顔文字
Another app I’d like to recommend is Emoticon Dictionary, which is a text emoticon dictionary where people can share those gigantic emoji that can even take up entire sheets of paper. This app has no limits!
You can also install the Kaomoji Keyboard, which adds an option of hundreds of text emojis to your keyboard, just like the traditional emoticon menu we have on our phones.
Other apps are:
- Smiley&Emoticons5000 [iOS]
- Girl’s Kaomoji Jiten 5000
- Cute Emoticon
Do we use Kanji and Ideograms in Kaomoji?
Yes, it is possible to find ideograms in Japanese emoticons, often just for visual effect, 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:
