Montrouzier, Touho Channel, lagoon, 35 m, commensal with Alcyonacea, 17 Sep. 1993, 1 male CL 3.5 mm. Remarks. This species was redescribed in detail by Osawa (1998 b). Lissoporcellana nakasonei closely resembles L. miyakei Haig, 1981, but differs in having subparallel instead of strongly convex branchial margins of the carapace. Distribution. This species was recorded only from southern Japan (Izu Islands; Kii Pesinsula, Amakura in Kyushu, Ryukyu Islands) at depths of about 20 m on rocky substrates and in association with alcyonacean octocoral, Dendronephthya nipponica Utinomi and Dendronephthya sp. (Osawa 1998 b; Kato & Okuno 2001; Osawa & Fujita 2005). This is the first record of L. nakasonei from outside of Japan and from New Caledonia at the depth of 35 m.Published as part of Osawa, Masayuki, 2007, Porcellanidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) from New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands, pp. 1-49 in Zootaxa 1548 on page 13, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17804

Doing Occidentalism in Contemporary Japan: Nation Anthropomorphism and Sexualized Parody in Axis Power Hetalia,
No full textAxis Powers Hetalia (2006–present), a Japanese gag comic and animation series, depicts relations between nations personified as cute boys against a background of World War I and World War II. The stereotypical rendering of national characteristics as well as the reduction of historically charged issues into amusing quarrels between nice-looking but incompetent boys was immensely popular, especially among female audiences in Japan and Asia, and among Euro-American manga, anime, and cosplay fans, but it also met with vehement criticism. Netizens from South Korea, for example, considered the Korean character insulting and in early 2009 mounted a protest campaign that was discussed in the Korean national assembly. Hetalia's controversial success relies to a great extent on the inventive conflation of male-oriented otaku fantasies about nations, weapons, and concepts represented as cute little girls, and of female-oriented yaoi parodies of male-male intimacy between powerful "white" characters and more passive Japanese ones. This investigation of the original Hetalia by male author Hidekaz Himaruya (b. 1985) and its many adaptations in female-oriented dōjinshi (fanzine) texts and conventions (between 2009 and 2011, Hetalia was by far the most adapted work) refers to notions of interrelationality, intersectionality, and positionality in order to address hegemonic representations of "the West," the orientalized "Rest" of the world, and "Japan" in the cross-gendered and sexually parodied mediascape of Japanese transnational subcultures

Known only from Japan; Boso Peninsula of Honshu mainland to Satsuma Peninsula of southern Kyushu, and Izu Islands. The holotype was collected from off Okino-shima, northern Kyushu, at a depth of 90 m (Miyake & Baba 1968). The specimens examined were obtained at depths of 10– 40 m.</p> <p> <b>Habitat and ecology</b>. This species is found on soft and black corals (Alcyonacea and Antipatharia) or sponges (Minemizu 2000, 2002; Kato & Okuno 2001).</p> <p> The ecology of <i>C. ortmanni</i> (as <i>C. dolichopus</i>) is noted in detail by Ogawa & Matsuzaki (1987). The authors suggested that the lifespan of the female is about one year based on the rearing under laboratory conditions.</p> <p> <b>Remarks</b>. The holotype of <i>Chirostylus ortmanni</i> was not available for study. The specimen was previously deposited in the Zoological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University (ZLKU), and now is supposedly transferred to the Kitakyushu Museum of Natural History and Human History, together with numerous crustacean specimens described by Dr. S. Miyake and his co-workers. However, the attempt to find the holotype of <i>C. ortmanni</i> in the collection of the museum was not successful (Dr. M. Shimomura; personal communication).</p> <p> The morphology of the specimens examined in this study agrees well with the original description of <i>C. ortmanni</i> by Miyake & Baba (1968) in most diagnostic aspects. The above description complements their account of the species. Miyake & Baba (1968) also mentioned that their live specimen of <i>C. ortmanni</i> had two reddish orange bands on the distal portions of the P2–4 meri. This characteristic marking is distinct in the photograph of a live specimen shown by Minemizu (2000, 2002) and was also confirmed in the specimens examined from Boso Peninsula and Hachijo-jima Island.</p> <p> Osawa & Nishikiori (1998) concluded that the specimens identified as <i>C. dolichopus</i> (NSMT-Cr 11672– 11686) by Ogawa & Matsuzaki (1993) are referable to <i>C. ortmanni</i>. The specimens were re-examined for the above description and support their conclusion. Accurate identification of a specimen from Aka-jima Island in the Ryukyus (cl 1.6 mm, NSMT-Cr 11686) is difficult since it is a juvenile. Judging from its locality, the specimen probably belongs to <i>C. stellaris</i> n. sp., described below.</p> <p> Specimens in color photographs identified by Miyake (1982, 1991, 1998), Takeda (1986, 1994), and Asakura (1995) as <i>C. dolichopus</i> can be referred to <i>C. ortmanni</i>. They all have the color pattern characteristic of <i>C. ortmanni</i>. The illustration of <i>C. dolichopus</i> shown by Miyake (1960, pl. 48, fig. 8) also seems to agree with the coloration of <i>C. ortmanni</i>. However, Miyake and Baba (1968: 383) noted that “The coloration and some characters of the present material (of <i>C. dolichopus</i>) are previously shown by Miyake (1960) ”. The correct specific identification of Miyake’s (1960) specimen is difficult without re-examination. The morphological distinctions between <i>C. dolichopus</i> and <i>C. ortmanni</i> are cited in key to species of the genus provided by Osawa & Nishikiori (1998) and Baba (2005).</p>Published as part of <i>Osawa, Masayuki, 2007, A new species of Chirostylus Ortmann, 1892 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Chirostylidae) from the Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan, with a supplemental description of Chirostylus ortmanni Miyake & Baba, 1968, pp. 31-43 in Zootaxa 1450</i> on pages 32-36, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/176238">10.5281/zenodo.176238</a>

Atmospheric CO and hydrogen uptake and CO oxidizer phylogeny for miyake-jima, Japan volcanic deposits
No full textWe have assayed rates of atmospheric CO and hydrogen uptake, maximum potential CO uptake and the major phylogenetic composition of CO-oxidizing bacterial communities for a variety of volcanic deposits on Miyake-jima, Japan. These deposits represented different ages and stages of plant succession, ranging from unvegetated scoria deposited in 1983 to forest soils on deposits \u3e800 yr old. Atmospheric CO and hydrogen uptake rates varied from -2.0±1.8-6.3±0.1 mg CO m(-2) d(-1) and 0.0±0.4-2.0±0.2 mg H(2) m(-2) d(-1), respectively, and were similar to or greater than values reported for sites on Kilauea volcano, Hawaii, USA. At one of the forested sites, CO was emitted to the atmosphere, while two vegetated sites did not consume atmospheric hydrogen, an unusual observation. Although maximum potential CO uptake rates were also comparable to values for Kilauea, the relationship between these rates and organic carbon contents of scoria or soil indicated that CO oxidizers were relatively more abundant in Miyake-jima deposits. Phylogenetic analyses based on the large sub-unit gene for carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (coxL) indicated that many novel lineages were present on Miyake-jima, that CO-oxidizing Proteobacteria were prevalent in vegetated sites and that community structure appeared to vary more than composition among sites
