20 Anime Characters with Animal Ears/Tail (Kemonomimi Meaning)
Before we get started let’s get all our terms down first. I can bet my left arm you’ve heard of the term “Nekomimi” before, and if you haven’t then I guess I just lost an arm. However you’re in more luck than me because we’re about to get down to explainin’ some stuff. As you know “Neko” is Japanese for cat, and “Mimi” is the Japanese word for ears; together nekomimi means cat ears. Now that we’ve gotten the more widely known term down we can get right into the term we’re concentrating on today, “Kemonomimi” or animal ears. Nekomimi and all of the other animal eared characters fall within the wide blanket term of Kemonomimi; these are characters that have animal ears or tails, natural or not. Kemonomimi aren’t usually fully animal and are still majority human just with the aforementioned features.
