Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Shotacon (shotakon), sometimes shortened to shota (shota), is a Japanese slang portmanteau of the phrase Shotaro complex (shotaro konpurekkusu) and describes an attraction to young boys, or an individual with such an attraction. Outside Japan, the term is used less often with this meaning. It refers to a genre of manga and anime wherein pre-pubescent or pubescent male characters are depicted in a suggestive or erotic manner. It can also apply to postpubescent (adolescent or adult) characters with youthful neotenic features that would make them appear to be younger than they are. The phrase is a reference to the young male character Shotaro from Tetsujin 28-go (reworked in English as Gigantor). The equivalent term for attraction to (or art pertaining to erotic portrayal of) young girls is lolicon.
