catgirls
Ear-and-tail characters
Catgirls are female characters, typically in anime, manga, and related fan culture, depicted with cat features—usually ears and a tail, sometimes fangs or claws.
The aesthetic blends human femininity with feline traits, often emphasizing playfulness or cuteness.
Catgirls appear across Japanese media, video games, and internet culture, sometimes in sexualized contexts: She cosplayed as a catgirl at the convention.
