Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled A Japanese Hostess Club in Hong Kong submitted by Mayumi Suzuki, for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in February 2007 It is known that many Japanese men go to expensive hostess clubs where they can casually chat and drink with the girls without further sexual services provided. Previous research on Japanese hostess clubs has been done mostly from the perspective of gender studies and arguments have been based on the male dominated corporate culture in Japan. Some scholars have conducted research on after-work activities of Japanese expatriates including "settai" (entertaining clients or colleagues) at hostess clubs, but only in cases of entertainment financed through corporate expense accounts. However, since the bubble economy collapsed, companies have curtailed the entertainment allowances for their employees. In Hong Kong too, I learned that quite a number of Japanese men go to hostess clubs at their own expense. Now, spending time at hostess clubs is not part of their regular work duties; it is their own choice. My study focuses on a hostess club in Hong Kong whose customers, hostesses and owner are all Japanese. It investigates how the meaning and the role of the Japanese style hostess club in Hong Kong change when they are transplanted into the Hong Kong context. While examining the reasons that Japanese men in Hong Kong to go to the hostess club and their interaction with the hostesses, my research indicates that Japanese men like the ambiguity that the club and the girls offer and enjoy the process leading up to, as much as any actual, sexual gratification. I also argue that the hostess club for Japanese men illustrates that sexuality is not universal but culturally determined, which makes the strategy of the club successful.
