Kemono

Kemono is a unique art movement that sprouted from Japan, that traces back roughly in the late 90s.
It applies traits and expressions from anime to fictional anthropomorphic beast characters.

It has affected both anime lovers and the like, whom preferred the idea of anime characters that are beasts.
Attraction to this may have stemmed from liking anime characters that has animal ears, tails, or hands.

Furry artists from countries like Taiwan, Korea, China, Philippines are likely to be creating kemono art.
People that are either artists or enthusiasts of kemono art are referred to as "kemoners".

Not to be confused with kimono, a formal garment from Japan.

Kemono art reminds me of animated shows like BNA, ODDTAXI, Beastars, and Aggressive Retsuko.

Kemono

Kemono means beast in English. Kemono -> Beast is the two languages Japanese -> English.

Agh, look at that kemono!

Kennedy decided to name her new character Kemono, because it’s some sort of beast or whatever. She says it’s Japanese for beast.

Wow, the Japanese language makes words so much cooler! For example, kemono actually means beast in English. Isn’t the cool!

"Damn bro is that a Furry?"
"Nah man, that's a Kemonomimi. Furries are big cartoon animals, Kemonomimi are human animal hybrids. They mostly have animal ears/tail and human bodies"
