Owata

Jinsei Owata (人生オワタ),1) or Owata (オワタ), is an AA character and kaomoji that's normally used in an ironic,2) self-deprecatory manner to express despair. This definition mainly caught on at 2channel in November 2005 and somehow resulted in a variety of text artwork.

The “＼(^o^)／” kaomoji was an SNS emoticon that was originally used to express joy and pleasure, giving the impression that it's shouting “banzai” (バンザイ) for something worthy of celebration.
