Introduction to Chibi Charms

Chibi charms have become an incredibly popular accessory and collectible item among anime and manga fans worldwide. Often depicted as cute, miniature versions of popular characters, these tiny charms allow fans to show off their fandom in a fun, stylish way. In this article, we'll take a look at what exactly chibi charms are, their history and origins, where to find some of the best chibi charms, and more!

What Are Chibi Charms?

The word "chibi" comes from Japanese and translates to "short person" or "small child." In anime and manga, chibi versions of characters are drawn with exaggerated, cute proportions - large heads, small bodies, big eyes, and more. Chibi charms retain these cute, miniature proportions but are crafted as small 3D accessories made from enamel, plastic, metal, resin, or other materials.

The charms feature colorful, stylized depictions of popular anime/manga characters, creatures, foods, objects, and more. Holes allow them to be attached to cellphones, bags, keychains, necklaces, and more. They are highly collectible due to their affordability and wide variety of designs available. Most measure 1 to 3 inches long.

History and Origins

Chibi charm accessories first originated as prizes in Japanese arcades (UFO catchers) in the 1990s. Their popularity steadily grew, and many anime merchandise companies began producing licensed charm series. The craze went global in the 2000s-2010s with the rising popularity of anime/manga worldwide.

Some of the most popular early chibi charm series included Sanrio's Little Twin Stars, San-X's Rilakkuma, and Bandai's Hello Kitty and Gundam charms. Popular modern series include charms of Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy x Family, Genshin Impact, and many more popular franchise characters.
