{{Main|Shift_JIS art}}
In Japan, ASCII art (AA) is mainly known as Shift_JIS art. [[Shift JIS]] offers a larger selection of characters than plain ASCII (including [[Japanese language and computers|characters from Japanese scripts]] and [[Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms|fullwidth forms of ASCII characters]]), and may be used for text-based art on Japanese websites.

Often, such artwork is designed to be viewed with the default Japanese font on a platform, such as the proportional MS P Gothic.<ref>

Users on ASCII-NET, in which the word ''ASCII'' refers to the [[ASCII (company)|ASCII Corporation]] rather than the [[American Standard Code for Information Interchange]], popularised a style of {{Nihongo|emoticon|[[wikt:顔文字|顔文字]]|kaomoji|emoticon}} in which the face appears upright rather than rotated.
