  kemono
Look up “kemono” in most any Japanese-English dictionary and it will tell you it means “beast.” However for a small group of Japanese otaku, it has a very different meaning.
In part influenced by a similar fandom in North America and Europe, kemono draws on a variety of influences, both in popular art and commonly known lore to create an interesting reflection of contemporary life.
Another interesting element of the kemono culture is its explicate international character, but yet the close interaction between various Japanese fans/artists (in this fandom, it is impossible to separate the two categories) have with each other.

  Kemono - Definition, explanation
Kemono is used widely in drawing, painting, manga, anime, and video game designs, many of which are popular in the rest of the world.
Kemono artists tend to be very protective of their copyrights, and usually forbid use of their media without permission.
Kemono itself is not limited exclusively to Japan either — largely through anime, manga and video games, kemono has had an increasing influence in anthropomorphic arts outside of Japan.

Kemono (Japanese 獣 or けもの "beast") is a genre of Japanese art and character design that prominently features therianthropized characters.
Anthropomorphized animal characters in the kemono genre are frequently called JÅ«jin (Japanese 獣人 or じゅうじん "therianthrope"; alternatively, these characters are also sometimes read as kemonobito "beast-human").
However, most kemono characters retain a fundamentally human personality, seldom behaving as the actual animals from which they have been anthropomorphized; as such, kemono are typically depicted living as humans do.
