Within the vibrant realm of Anime, iconic figures such as Goku from Dragon Ball, Luffy from One Piece, Deku from My Hero Academia, and Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen have played pivotal roles in popularizing this genre. Their recognizability has solidified anime as a preferred avenue for enjoying Japanese entertainment. Interestingly, a recent NSFW report has emerged that highlights a contrasting aspect of the anime phenomenon: the risqué genre known as hentai has once again claimed the title of the most searched term on PornHub, notching a remarkable achievement in the process.
In English, ‘hentai’ is defined as “a genre of Japanese manga and anime that features overtly sexualized characters and explicit sexual imagery.”While the term has undergone significant evolution, originally stemming from a Japanese phrase over a century ago, it has become closely associated with the risqué animations and illustrations we see today.

As the leading search term on PornHub for 2024, Miles emphasizes that “hentai’s rise can be seen as an early indicator of anime’s looming explosion in popularity during the pandemic.” This assertion aligns with the news that “anime” has also secured a spot within the platform’s top ten search inquiries. Detailed analysis reveals that merely a decade ago, hentai did not even make it into PornHub’s top 20 searched terms. This shift reflects the growing interest in anime, significantly benefiting the hentai genre along the way.
Additionally, with the proliferation of non-sanctioned fan-generated content, hentai remains poised for expansion. Creatively adventurous artists are often seen incorporating popular anime characters into scenarios that would not be permitted in their canonical depictions, thereby pushing the boundaries of the genre.
Hentai: An Incredibly Popular Genre for Adults
While it may appear unconventional to discuss anime in the context of adult entertainment, it can indeed be argued that hentai was bound to reach its current level of prominence. Much like the explosive growth witnessed in the adult film industry, the demand for hentai serves as a catalyst for further innovation and diversification within this niche of animated content. Anime is here to stay, and as hentai continues to thrive on this momentum, its influence in the adult sector is expected to grow along with the genre.
