What is ahegao, the hentai trend popularised by Belle Delphine?
The internet loves a gamer girl, apparently, and the queen of them at the moment appears to be Belle Delphine.
The 19-year-old cosplayer was known as an ‘ahegao girl’, and the trend for the funny faces has been growing online off of the back of her fame.
But what is ahegao, and why is it becoming more popular than ever?
The term relates to Japanese anime and manga style.
Ahegao was first cited around the 1990s, and describes the facial expressions of the characters in these films.
Women are often shown with their eyes rolling back, tongue hanging out, and blushing or panting. The idea appears to be to show an intense level of arousal, where someone loses their faculties completely.
The word itself combines an abbreviation for Aheahe – which means to moan or pant – alongside face in Japanese.
Although it tends to be spoken about in conjunction with adult words, you may also see an ahegao face in ‘regular’ manga or anime.
Japanese culture has also seen a boom worldwide in recent years, as has cosplaying. With that, people sharing their own ahegaos on social media has also grown.
When people do their own ahegaos online, they tend to show themselves drooling and crossing their eyes, and often use a filter to achieve a more cartoonish look.
It may not be your cup of tea, but the likes of Belle Delphine have managed to make a career from it, so there appears to be plenty of demand.
Ahegao (アヘ顔) is a term in Japanese for a facial expression of characters (usually women), typically with rolling or crossed eyes, protruding tongue, and slightly reddened face, to show enjoyment or ecstasy. The style is often used in erotic manga, anime, and video games (erogē).
Etymology
The first part of the term, ahe (katakana: アヘ), is an abbreviation for aheahe (アヘアヘ), an onomatopoeia for ‘pant’ or ‘moan’. The second part, gao or kao (顔), means ‘face’. Thus, ahegao can be interpreted as ‘moaning or panting face’.
Many other terms have been coined for the facial expressions made. One of these is ikigao (イキガオ) meaning ‘coming [i.e., orgasmic] face’. Others are acmegao (アクメ顔) from the French loanword acmé, and yogarigao (よがり顔) for “satisfaction face”.
Description
Typical characteristics are rolled or crossed eyes, a hanging tongue, and flushed cheeks. A character’s overall face shape may also be distorted in ahegao scenes. Ahegao indicates that the pleasure experienced is so intense that the character loses control of their facial expression.
History
Also known as the O-Face, the term ahegao dates at least as far back as the early 1990s.
In the midst of the 2000s, use of the term increased, and the drawing style became rather conventionalized and started spreading throughout the otaku culture. In 2008, the first ahegao-themed doujin comics anthology, A-H-E, was released. In the 2010s, major publishers produced more ahegao-themed comic anthologies. Ahegao-like exaggerated facial expressions are also sometimes featured in other anime and manga works. In September 2016, an “ahegao challenge” meme spread on social media websites, mostly via Instagram, which spread the trend in the United States.
Belle Delphine’s ahegao face
According to an article from adult gaming site Nutaku, ahegao in combination with the peace sign became an Internet meme in Japan, known as “ahegao double peace” (アヘ顔ダブルピース). In 2018, Belle Delphine drew coverage from various media outlets for her Instagram modeling which often featured her ahegao expressions.
Ahegao clothing
In 2015, an image by the hentai artist Hirame depicting various anime characters with the ahegao face circled the internet. Later that year, the pictures appeared on clothing. In May 2017, such images started appearing in western fashion, the clothes depicting among other works an image from Danke Dankei Revolution by Asanagi. This version is now sold by English-language publisher FAKKU.
Ban of ahegao clothing
In January 2020, several anime conventions throughout the United States banned ahegao clothing on their grounds and forbade entry to those wearing such clothing. A similar movement was also done in Malaysia in 2022.
