This paper examines legal regulation on virtual image of child sexual abuse especially in Japan. The legislations against child pornography attempt to expand its targets to "virtual child pornography" that is generated from Manga or Anime, not from real child abuse. The reason why child pornography should be strictly prohibited is that it is a genuine evidence of child abuse. Is there a boundary between child abuse and virtual child pornography? This paper analyzes it from two viewpoints of media studies and legal studies.
