Yeah I would agree with you there. Though I wouldn't call it a fetish, more like just their culture. Unless we call Americans' obsession with making everything big a fetish then yeah I guess Japanese people's obsession with small thing big eyes a fetish.

This is a small example.

Lol, i guessed i noticed that too. It's like cuteness is in their genes @_@ I dunno why, they're mostly fair and cute-like. Girls, guys... all look cute ._. We need a Japanese to explain this i think

I wouldn't say it's just the Japanese who are like that. The Chinese are too. Some Malays. Koreans. It's an Asian thing. *shrugs* Some years back I was caught up in the whole "cute" craze too.

A person being born cute doesn't exactly have to do with a fetish, though... it's just genes.

its the same in any nastaily (¬__¬ i cant spell)

btw kawaii!!!!!!!! >__< had to be said *runs* X D !!

No, its not in the genes (I'm a third generation American, but full blooded Japanese ancestry on both sides of the family, yet my tolerance in staying in a Sanrio store is measured in minutes...), but it is ingrained as a part of Japanese culture. Unlike the US and Europe, in Japan, its better to be viewed as cute then sexy. (I blame early exposure to 'Hello Kitty' for this phenomena...)
