논문 초록 (Abstract)

This paper examines the connection, utilization, and future of Yokai cultural contents, which has been the most popular recently, focusing on the present condition and strategy of the Fourth Industrial Revolution(4IR) in Japan. It is expected that the policies and directions of it in Japan are more developed into its own specialized form that is differentiated from other countries over the years. Above all, it is going to be clear that Japan's unique cultural contents, which have remarkable strengths over any other countries in the global competition, will be the key of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Japan with continuous comparative advantages. For this reason, the Yokai cultural contents of Japan are a promising item that can generate infinite industrial power as well as a new role model in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. So, in the paper it is clearly proven that Pokémon Go is definitely a new attractive and innovative cultural content in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. More importantly, however, if cultural contents are judged only by their value as a product and economic gains, many positive synergy effects can be destroyed in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is not fully on track yet because it is in the beginning stage. So, there will be a number of trials and errors and corrections, and it will constantly lead us to a place of revolution. Therefore, by thoroughly analyzing a variety of cutting-edge technologies and innovative trends it will bring in, I will be able to enable people's lives to be rich and move in a positive direction.
