Shift-jis Art

Shift_JIS art is artwork created from characters within the Shift_JIS character set, a superset of ASCII. Naturally there are many similarities between Shift_JIS artwork and ASCII art. Shift_JIS has become very popular on web-based bulletin boards, notably 2ch.net, and has even made its way into mainstream media and commercial advertising in Japan. Within the Japanese community, Shift_JIS art is sometimes abbreviated as SJIS art, but is most commonly referred to as "AA" meaning ASCII art, although it rarely restricts itself to the 95 printable characters within the ASCII standard. As with ANSI art, SJIS art is sometimes used for animation. However, due to technical advances, SJIS art also appears in the form of Macromedia Flash files and animated GIFs.
