lol,no actually I always see that used on anime forums and crap. It's used by manga & anime fans and people who think they are "leet" import gamers. It was neat at first seeing it but these days its not. No one I know uses it thats asian at all except Toshi at Dreamstars who used it a couple of times in emails. The few people I know that are asian,esp at my work,totally hate the thing because of the slanted eyes and flat mouth.
