catboy

Eared anime character

A catboy is a male character—typically in anime, manga, or fan art—depicted with cat ears and sometimes a tail, while remaining otherwise human.

The aesthetic blends feline traits with youthful, often androgynous appeal.

In cosplay and internet culture, catboy describes someone dressed in this style: He went to the convention as a catboy.

The term carries playful or flirtatious connotations.
