Abstract

The Japanese anime industry enjoys a worldwide reputation for its rich imagination and superb production skills. At the same time, table tennis, as a popular sport with unique cultural symbols in Japan, has also been widely expressed and paid attention to in Japanese animation works. This paper studies the presentation of table tennis elements in anime works through literature analysis, case study analysis and other methods. Taking Ping Pong as an example, this paper analyzes how Japanese anime shows the passion and skills of table tennis to the audience through its unique narrative and visual art, aiming to reveal how the Japanese anime industry influences the development of table tennis culture and the role of this cross-border cultural fusion in the promotion of the sport in Japan and even globally.
