Chibi (ちび or 禿び (which is rarely used)? lit. softly) is a Japanese term used in the context of anime or manga to describe a very stylized character design stroke, with heads being slightly larger than the size of the characters. bodies, usually for a comic or more sentimental effect. A striking feature of the Chibi is that the nose is almost always not drawn, the mouth feature is not always finished and the features in general are very simplified. Other times, instead of a human body, the designer places the character's head on a body or with the characteristics of a cat, dog or some other small animal. It is usually confused with the Super deformed or SD style, where the character has the head larger than the rest of the body.
