In this study, we focus on the gestures appeared in general negotiation dialogs. By analyzing the relation between situation and gestures, we suggested a technique to let the agent perform an adequate human-like gesture and evaluated whether the gesture of an agent could give a similar impression to a human. We collected a number of negotiation dialogs in order to investigate what kind of common gestures people usually use. We investigated the appearance frequency of the gesture in different situations and extracted the gestures with a high appearance frequency. Based on the quantity of the characteristic, the agent gesture model was made. We performed an impression evaluation about the gesture that human and an agent performed by a questionnaire. As a result, we verified that the agent can express the same state of mind as people can by generating an adequate human-like gesture.
