While predominantly used in manga, anime subtitles, and official translations, Japanese comic fonts also find application in various other contexts. These include video game localization (especially for character dialogue, UI elements, and expressive text), visual novels, graphic novels, fan-made comics, merchandise design, promotional materials for Japanese-themed products, and even certain marketing campaigns where a playful, energetic, or distinct Japanese aesthetic is desired. They are chosen to evoke a specific cultural feel and add dynamic personality to written content.
