'''Japanese Culture Greg''' loves [[Japanese popular culture]], and as a stereotypical [[otaku]] this interest is mainly focused on entertainment media and consumer goods. Cultural elements he has expressed interest in include [[Anime|anime]], manga, [[Drifting (motorsport)|drift racing]], [[mecha]], and [[Art toys|vinyl figurines]].

Japanese Culture Greg first appeared, unnamed and wearing a different shirt, in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 9]] as a friend of [[Sci-Fi Greg]]. His next appearance, in [[4 Gregs]], established his name and characterization.

Greg will occasionally use a Japanese word when speaking, shouting it out with an [[Non-English Pronunciations|exaggerated enunciation]]. As he does this, he takes on [[Manga iconography|a stereotypical anime appearance]] with spiky hair, large shiny eyes, a sweat drop, and [[japanese cartoon|a ridiculously huge mouth]]; he instantly returns to his normal appearance after the single word.

* [[Otaku]] ([[4 Gregs]]) — Someone with an obsessive, consuming interest, often to their social detriment. As a loanword in English, it typically refers to obsessive fans of anime and manga (or Japanese culture in general).
* Okasan (4 Gregs) — Typically [[Romanization|written as]] "okaasan", this is a formal and respectful way to refer to someone else's mother. Greg's speech bubble initially reads "moms", with it switching to "okasan" as he says it.
* [[Akihabara]] (4 Gregs) — A shopping district in [[Tokyo]], extremely popular with otaku due to its offerings of anime, manga, video games, and similar goods.
* Chizuko ([[Teen Girl Squad Issue 15]]) — The name of a [[Japanese robotics|Japanese robot]] who is Greg's date for the Priggidy Prizom.

In [[Fan Costumes 2016]], he states that he has not learned the Japanese word for "accurate" yet.

* Japanese Culture Greg typically refers to generic tropes of Japanese media, rather than referring to a specific character, series, or product. The only anime Japanese Culture Greg has directly referred to is ''[[Star Blazers]]'', seen printed on his shirt in [[Disk 4 of 12 - FriendlyWare|a scene set in 1981]] showing era-appropriate versions of the Gregs' namesake interests. At the time ''Star Blazers'' (an adaptation of the Japanese series ''[[Space Battleship Yamato]]'') was one of the few, if not the only, English-translated anime series with an overarching plot and storyline.
