England/Japan is a popular slash pairing in Hetalia: Axis Powers, involving the characters of England and Japan. The pairing is sometimes referred to as AsaKiku, a portmanteau of the first few syllables of England's human name in Japanese and Japan's human first name. Another term for the pairing is Iggypan, a portmanteau of a popular nickname for England, Iggy, and the last syllable of Japan. The term, 島国同盟 (Shimaguni Doumei), Island-Nation Alliance, is the most commonly used term in the Japanese Fandom.
