The current study investigated the Japanese cartoon and travel motivation. A quantitative approach was adopted, with questionnaires used for data collection. The result revealed that people think ideal character projection, the nostalgia of childhood, plot framing, resonance between virtual and reality, and deep learning of the culture can induce tourist desire to travel. In addition, the study found that travel desire for cartoon sites affected destination brand engagement. The study probed into understanding destination brand engagement and destination brand love related to Japanese cartoons. The findings manifest that tourists’ self-congruence was positively affected by destination brand engagement and brand love.
