Angry/Displeased
For most angry Japanese emoticons just use > and < for eyes. You can also use ≥ or ≤. Two ¬’s makes sort of a displeased looking face. You can also use slashes or ヽ and ノ to make it look like the emoticon is throwing up it’s hands in anger.

Animals
When you’re making Japanese animal emoticons pretty much all you need to do is use a ω for the mouth and it’ll look like some kind of rodent or bear or something like that.

Apologizing
These emoticons are supposed to represent someone bowing down because they’re appologising or possibly thanking someone for something. These use the letter m to show hands and the eyes are low to the ground.
m(_ _)m
m(._.)m
ｍ（．＿．）ｍ
（ﾉ´д‘）
(シ_ _)シ
<(_ _)>
＜(。_。)＞
ｍ（＿ ＿；；ｍ
m(￢0￢)m

Bears
The main thing with Japanese bear emoticons is the mouth. You want to use (ｴ), ㉨ or possibly a ω. Everything else is pretty much the same as other Japanese emoticons.

Cats
Cats are pretty much just most regular Japanese emoticons with =’s added to them as whiskers. ^’s can also be used for ears and you can use ･ｪ･ for a cat’s nose.

Confused
For confused Japanese emoticons you can use ・ or ◎ for blank looking eyes. ゞ makes a perfect arm scratching a head to indicate thought. You can also add question marks to any of these to show even more confusion.

Dancing
For dancing Japanese emoticons you basically just take happy looking ones and add 〜, ノ or ヘ for arms. You can do two emoticons at once with the arms facing different ways to make it seem like the emoticon is fancing in both directions. Adding " beside the arms makes it seem like it’s shaking too.

Defeat/Surrender
For defeated Japanese emoticons you can usually use _’s for eyes that are low to the ground. You can also use \ and / or similar characters to show arms raised in defeat. Adding a ; for a drop of sweat always works too. You can also add a 尸 to make it look like the emoticon is waving a white flag.

Dogs
The main thing with Japanese dog emoticons is the ears. Use a U for big floppy ears, u for little ears or even V’s for ears as well. You can also use ∵ on either side of the mouth to make it look more dog like.

Drinking
You can basically take any Japanese emoticon and add cups to it with a 口, 旦 or 且.

Evil/Plotting/Sneaky
For evil looking Japanese emoticons you pretty much want to use ‘ and ´ for the eyes. You can use pretty much anything else for a mouth and other elements and it’ll still look evil.

Fish and Sea Creatures
Japanese fish emoticons are somewhat different as they’re from the side and very much look like swimming fish. You can add or subtract brackets to change the length of the fish. It’s also very easy to make crabs as well.

Friends
These emoticons are really just happy looking ones holding up their hands to each other. You can combine pretty much any emoticons and join their hands together with a 人, /＼ or メ.
