Kabedon 壁ドン (also known as Wall Slam) is the act of an individual placing their hand, arm, elbow, or even legs on a wall while leaning over another individual for the purpose of intimidating them or flirting with them or both.
The action is a staple trope in Japanese Romantic media and is used as a means to convey assertive confidence over another individual. Due to this, bully characters also use Kabedon to assert dominance over an individual.
