FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Japanese Internet CultureCLUSTER: Platform Culture

Short for "Hobby Account" (ホビーアカウント) — a secondary social media account dedicated specifically to a hobby or fan activity (oshi-katsu/fandom support), kept separate from one's main personal account and often styled with its own curated aesthetic.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"I keep my figure-collecting posts on my hobi-aka so my main account stays normal."

LORE & ORIGIN

A real, established practice in Japanese social media culture of running a dedicated secondary account for a hobby or fandom, distinct from a personal main account, rather than a brand-new 2026 coinage — the term has circulated as ordinary SNS vocabulary through the 2020s.
