Шаблон:Orphan Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Nihongo is a Japanese term for an online avatar depicting an anime-style female character used by content creators who are often (but not always) male. The term is an abbreviation of Шаблон:Nihongo or Шаблон:Nihongo.

Babiniku may be using an avatar of a cute girl, acting as a virtual girl in a virtual space such as VRChat, or acting as a virtual YouTuber or virtual idol. They may modify their voice into a girl's voice by using a voice changer, or they may simply use their natural voice along with the female 3D model, Live2D model, or static picture. If an adult male uses these sorts of female avatars, he may be called a Шаблон:Nihongo.

Origin

In the Japanese virtual YouTuber (VTuber) community, the performer is called the Шаблон:Nihongo , the character's model or avatar is called the Шаблон:Nihongo, and the act of acquiring the model is called Шаблон:Nihongo. The word "incarnation" originated from what Nijisanji VTuber Шаблон:Interlanguage link said about getting a 3D model of herself.

The "soul" and the "body" is generally the same in the virtual YouTuber community, but the VTuber known as "Virtual Шаблон:Lang-loli Шаблон:Lang YouTuber Шаблон:Lang" (Шаблон:Lang-ja, "virtual Шаблон:Lang-lolita fox girl YouTuber guy", abbreviation: Шаблон:Lang) became popular at the end of 2017, and she is a male using a female nikutai. She announced she was a male using a female avatar, showing he could become a cute girl character even if he was a man and his voice was still his natural male voice. Many VTubers and Babiniku VTubers became active after seeing her videos. Her work resulted in an acceptance from viewers, as they didn't care if there was a man behind a character so long as the character itself was cute.

For some, babiniku is not just about seeing a cute character, but also about finding entertainment in the mismatch between the soul (performer) and the gender presented, which can be considered part of the VTuber's content. One difference between a normal VTubers and a babiniku VTuber is that many babiniku VTubers acknowledge the existence of the person behind the character. The difference between a nekama and a babiniku is that a babiniku often acknowledges the gender difference between the user and how they present themselves.

The popularity of taking on female avatars declined after Шаблон:Lang's appearance on the scene, excluding the work by some such as Шаблон:Nihongo. At the end of May 2018, however, cartoonist Шаблон:Nihongo and illustrator Шаблон:Nihongo introduced a method of animating illustrations during live streams by using software called FaceRig and Live2D. This quickly became popular among illustrators. Many VTubers were originally illustrators, which helped the development of a community of those VTubers who made it publicly known that their "soul" was male. In June 2018, there was a live stream titled "Virtual Шаблон:Lang Self Шаблон:Lang One Night Шаблон:Lang" (Шаблон:Lang-ja, "Virtual-Girl-Self-Incarnation-Guys Girls' Party, playing One Night Werewolf"), and this title was the source of the term babiniku. One of the participants in the live stream was Шаблон:Nihongo, who is considered one of the leading babiniku VTubers due to the high number of her subscribers as well as her cuteness.

"Hell"

Шаблон:Quote box "Hellish" is a word often used to indirectly describe babiniku. Rimukoro, Maki-hitsuji, Magurona, and Natori Sana (Шаблон:Lang-ja) were all asked in interviews, "what is babiniku?", to which they all responded, "it's hell". They provided a variety of reasons why they thought so, including that it "twists your nature" or "has a deep darkness".

According to Magurona, she made the title "Virtual-Girl-Self-Incarnation-Guys Girls' Party" for the livestream because it was originally meant to be "hellish content where guys who have drawn their own avatars and transformed themselves into cute girls get together and make some noise". Over time, the "self" aspect of Magurona's title—which indicated the performers created their avatars themselves—faded away, and the term babiniku could be applied to any man acting through an avatar depicting a cute girl, regardless of how he obtained the avatar. Magurona's performer has no desire to become more feminine himself.

Vocalization

It is difficult to convert an ordinary male voice into a female voice through instrumental manipulation alone. It is important that the performer bring their voice closer to a feminine voice by using their falsetto or a mixed voice as the smaller the change in pitch and formant in the voice changer, the more natural the female voice will be. There are also some babiniku VTubers, such as Takehana Nohto (Шаблон:Lang-ja), who speak in female-like voices without using a voice changer. The voice itself is not the only factor in achieving a feminine voice, speech patterns and intonation are important as well.

In television

On 8 January 2020, NHK Educational TV broadcast about Babiniku in "Nehorin-Pahorin".
