Quick definition: "Kawaii" - Japanese for "cute" or, more accurately, "AAAwww" - the kind of thing you say when you see something sweet like Pikachu, or "Hello Kitty", or perhaps a small friendly moomin!

So to describe something as kawaii can mean that it's

• japanese, big eyed manga / anime
• from the cartoon world
• stylised with bright colours
• fun and funny!
