Intrinsic Motivation is important for Japanese learners in JFL (Japanese as Foreign Language) environment because they often triggered by their interest in Japanese language or culture. Especially more learners are triggered by Japanese popular culture recently. But there are few studies using an intrinsic motivation model of educational psychology. In many Japanese language education studies, motivation theory in SLA (Second Language Acquisition) studies are applied. Motivation models in SLA study partly intake psychological theory but the psychological theory in SLA study does not renew. In these years new theories of intrinsic motivation are proposed and they are beneficial to discuss motivation of Japanese learners. This paper aims to show potential of intrinsic motivation in study of Japanese learning on data of learners triggered by Japanese popular culture in Hong Kong.
