Anastasiya Shpagina from the Ukraine is a living embodiment of this fad, and looks gorgeous while doing it. Inspired by Japanese cartoon characters, Shpagina strategically chooses [her makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-nite-out) and her clothes so that she looks like she came right out of a [Japanese anime series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fira-x-wear). Exaggerating the contours of her face takes a significant amount of time and effort. Anastasiya fusses over perfecting her eyeliner to change the shape of her eyes and putting on her face makeup to give her skin a doll-like sheen. Completely commited, she also changed her name to Fukkacumi to fit with her Japanese-inspired persona. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Real-life Anime Dolls:** The trend of becoming real-life anime dolls is growing, creating opportunities for cosmetics and fashion industries to develop products catering to this craze. - **Anime-inspired Makeup:** Anime-inspired makeup is becoming a popular trend, presenting opportunities for makeup artists, beauty brands, and social media influencers to create content around this theme. - **Japanese-inspired Personas:** The trend of adopting Japanese-inspired personas is gaining popularity, allowing for opportunities in the entertainment and cosplay industries to create themed events and experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can capitalize on the trend of becoming a real-life anime doll and anime-inspired makeup by developing specific products that target this niche audience. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can create clothing lines that emulate the style of Japanese cartoon characters, providing dedicated cosplay enthusiasts and fans of the trend with a wider range of clothing options. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can create themed events and experiences based on Japanese-inspired personas, enriching the cosplaying and anime fan communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon-Transformed Algae Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-and-algae.md) - [Sensorial Anime Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedhedz.md) - [Avatar-Staffed Convenience Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lawson.md) - [Anime Horror-Style Reimaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork.md) - [Virtual Idol Livestreams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-dol.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Metaverse Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-avastars.md) - [Innovative Avatar-Creation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/idoru.md) - [Anime-Inspired Glasses Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animeinspired-glasses.md)
