Abstract
Chinese mobile games currently wield significant influence worldwide. These mobile games not only represent Chinese culture but also portray the cultures of other countries, particularly Japanese culture. It is noteworthy that the representation of Japanese culture within these games is not an authentic depiction but rather a creation stemming from Chinese imagination—what can be termed as ”Chinese-style Japanese culture.” To elucidate this phenomenon, this paper will explore the representation of Japanese culture in Chinese mobile games, examining the causes and impacts from a multicultural critique perspective.
