What Wikipedia says

Akanbe (Japanese: あかんべえ, あっかんべえ, and あかんべえよ) is a Japanese facial expression and gesture associated with sarcasm, teasing, or mild taunting. The gesture consists of pulling down the lower eyelid to expose the reddish underside of the eye toward another person, often accompanied by sticking out the tongue.
