Kemonomimi

Kemonomimi literally means “animal ears” in Japanese, but it’s so much more than that. These characters—think catgirls (nekomimi), fox girls (kitsunemimi), or bunny girls (usagimimi)—blend human bodies with cute animal traits like ears, tails, and sometimes claws. They’re a favorite trope in anime and games for their playful, flirty, sometimes mischievous personalities. Imagine your dream waifu… but with ears that twitch when you pet her.
