, also romanised as lolikon or rorikon, is Japanese discourse or media focusing on the attraction to young or prepubescent girls. The term ''lolicon'' is a portmanteau of the phrase "Lolita complex"; it describes an attraction to young or prepubescent girls, an individual with such an attraction, or lolicon manga or lolicon anime, a genre of manga and anime wherein childlike female characters are often depicted in an "erotic-cute" manner (also known as ero kawaii), in an art style reminiscent of the shōjo manga (girls' comics) style.〔〔McCarthy, Helen and Jonathan Clements (1999). ''The Erotic Anime Movie Guide''. Woodstock, NY: Overlook Press. See pp. 43, on lolikon anime.〕 Outside Japan, ''lolicon'' is in less common usage and usually refers to the genre. The term is a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's book ''Lolita'', in which a middle-aged man becomes sexually obsessed with a twelve-year-old girl. It was first used in Japan in the 1970s and quickly became used to describe erotic dojinshi (amateur comics) portrayals of young girls. Laws have been enacted in various countries, including in Japan, which regulate explicit content featuring children or childlike characters. Parent and citizens groups in Japan have organized to work toward stronger controls and stricter laws governing lolicon manga and other similar media. Studies of lolicon fans state that they are attracted to an aesthetic of cuteness rather than the age of the characters,〔 and that collecting lolicon represents a disconnect from society.〔〔〔 ==Definition and scope== Generally, manga and anime featuring lolicon include sexual attraction to younger girls or to girls with youthful characteristics. Individuals in each group respond sexually to visual images of children and young people in distinct and narrow age ranges. Manga and anime featuring lolicon contain images and narratives involving romantic and erotic interactions between typically an adult man and a girl in the age range desired by such men.〔 Strictly speaking, ''Lolita complex'' in Japanese refers to the paraphilia itself, but the abbreviation ''lolicon'' can also refer to an individual who has the paraphilia.〔 Lolicon is widespread in Japan, where it is a frequent subject of scholarly articles and criticism. Many general bookstores and newsstands openly offer illustrated lolicon material, but there has also been police action against lolicon manga.〔 The ''kawaii'' (cute) and ''ero kawaii'' (erotic-cute) style is extremely popular in Japan, where it is present in many of the manga/anime styles.〔"The Darker Side of Cuteness," ''The Economist'', May 8, 1999.〕 The school-age girl in a school uniform is also an erotic symbol in Japan.〔 Burusera shops cater to men with lolicon complexes by selling unwashed panties, men can make dates with teenagers through ''terekura'' (telephone clubs), and some schoolgirls moonlight as prostitutes. Sharon Kinsella observed an increase in unsubstantiated accounts of schoolgirl prostitution in the media in the late 1990s, and speculated that these unproven reports developed in counterpoint to the increased reporting on comfort women. She speculated that, "It may be that the image of happy girls selling themselves voluntarily cancels out the other guilty image".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「lolicon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
