Abstract	With the goal of designing culturally appropriate conversational agents, this study (1) collects comparative German and Japanese corpus, namely CUBE-G corpus, (2) by analyzing the corpus, investigates how nonverbal behaviors are different depending on the culture and the social relationship, then, (3) conducts a perception study to examine whether people prefer agent's behaviors which are consistent with their own culture and matched with a conversation context in a given social relationship. As the result, we found some aspects that characterize preferable postures, and results of perception study showed that, Japanese participants preferred behavioral aspects that are in-line with their own culture under a specified social relationship. This suggests that empirical study of comparative multicultural corpus is useful in determining appropriate nonverbal behaviors in culturally adaptive virtual agents.
