The Chibi style easily falls under the Japanese category of Kawaii, with the specific proportions being exaggerated in the ways that they are. If a character has a signature characteristic (odd hair, a particular accessory, etc.) this will typically be prominent in the super deformed version of the character.
Details such as folds on a jacket are ignored, and general shapes are favored. As a result, when a character of average proportions is depicted as a super-deformed character, certain aspects of their design will be simplified and others will be grossly exaggerated. In addition to their modified proportions, super-deformed characters typically lack the detail of their normal counterparts. An example of a character being drawn with typical chibi proportionsĬompared to the average anime character, usually about seven to eight heads tall, the head of a super-deformed character is normally anywhere between one third and one half the character's height.
