Duck lips are called “Ahirukuchi” or “Ahiruguchi” in Japanese (ahiru= duck, kuchi= mouth). Making duck lips is considered kawaii in Japan now, especially among young Japanese girls. In Japan “Ahiruguchi” is defined as upcurved lips with thin upper lip.
The duck lips are a common sight in Japan. Tomochin is widely known for them, and Jurina has been perfecting her technique.
Lately, a wide variety of girls are trying their hand at it, including Yuki and Sasshi.

One of them was that babies have them naturally, and I can't recall the other reason atm.
