Abstract
Negative sentiments against Koreans in Japan have become a social issue that has attracted quite much attention. Many studies discuss the discrimination and identity crisis experienced by zainichi (Korean ethnicity living in Japan) in literary works where Japanese people are depicted as those who discriminate and injustice against Koreans. However, other impressions are captured in Zainichi cinema about the characterization of Japanese people. In the zainichi cinema, the director, who is Japanese, does not show the badness of Japanese people. This study focuses on examining how Japanese people are represented in their interactions with Koreans from the film Pacchigi (2005). To examine how social representation is formed in Zainichi's cinema, authors used representation theory by Stuart Hall. To collect research data using documentation techniques and literature study. Data analysis used the descriptive qualitative method. The study results show that in Pacchigi film the Japanese characterization represented as a positive or humanistic character.
