hi friends

what is the difference between Animegao and kigurumi?

>> No.1605064

kigurumi is the japanese term for a costume that covers the body.
animegao is "anime face" kigurumi.

"kigurumi" can be used as a term for animegao though,since the japanese hardly use it anyway.

All animegao is kigurumi, but not all kigurumi is animegao.

>Anime character kigurumi

> Main article: Animegao

>A subset of kigurumi with a particular attraction to the otaku and cosplay community is anime kigurumi cosplay, which involves the portrayal of more humanoid characters by means of masks and bodysuits (called a zentai). A performer of this style is often called a "Doller". Dollers perform in Japan on stage, usually to promote an anime or in children's shows (such as the popular Tokyo Mew Mew). However, over time Kigurumi has become more popular in Japan and has reached North America as well.
