Toku-A (特ア), literally "specific-(East) Asia") is a term used on Japanese Internet forums for East Asian countries with certain anti-Japanese sentiment or involvement in political tensions and disputes with Japan, namely, South Korea, North Korea, and China.[1] Taiwan is usually considered to be a Japanophile country with its colonial relations with Japan in the late 19th and the 20th century.
