Abstract

The variety of honorific language in Japanese is called keigo. Keigo is used to honor the interlocutor or a third person. Keigo is one of the characteristics of the Japanese language that is quite difficult to learn and use by Japanese language learners who speak Indonesian as their mother tongue. This is because the variety of honorific languages, such as in Japanese, does not appear in Indonesian. The purpose of this study is to describe the variety of Japanese honorific language in the Ninja Hattori-Kun comic book series 2, and classify them according to their type. This study uses qualitative research with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were obtained through expressions containing keigo in the comic book Ninja Hattori-Kun 2. Data collection was limited to Chap. 1–Chap. 7 of the entire chapter, which was 22 chapters. From the results of data analysis, it was found that there were 15 kinds of Japanese honorific language keigo which were then classified according to their type, so that 5 data were obtained for sonkeigo, 4 data for kenjoogo, and 6 data for teineigo. Sonkeigo found in data sources, namely kudasaru, ~sama, osaki ni, otaku and kudasai. The kenjoogo found in the data source are sessha, mousu, choudai and mairu. Meanwhile, the teineigo found in the data sources are otsukai, ~de gozaru, kisama, gokurou, tabemasu and mamorimasu.
