The Pentel Pocket can create many different strokes. The Pentel Pocket has a tip made of dozens of individual hairs, just like a paintbrush. You can create thin strokes by using the very tip of the brush. Press down on the pen to spread out the bristles and create thicker lines. By drawing quickly, the ink flow will “break” and create textured lines and swatches. Because the Pentel Pocket Brush uses a bristle tip rather than a tip made of a single piece of felt, it is more difficult to control.

I assume that this would probably be a good pen for writing Japanese characters, but it's far too soft to use for inking drawings. The tip is one solid mass, not bristles like a true brush pen, and when you apply pressure, the entire tip has a great amount of give. It feels almost "mushy", it's that flexible.
