Description
Gijinka is a specific type of humanization that superficially resembles really well-done cosplay.
The word itself is a romanization of the Japanese word "ζ¬δΊΊε" which translates to "personification" in the English language. Meaning the intent is to depict something that is not human into something that is while retaining qualities from its original form, be it metaphorical (eg.: A personified fire being short tempered) or physical (eg.: The previous example having red hair).
Note that this is an [color=red]invalid tag[/color] and will be replaced with the "invalid tag" tag instead.
