Babiniku (Japanese: バ美肉) 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.[1] The term is an abbreviation of "virtual bishoujo juniku" (バーチャル美少女受肉, meaning "virtual girl incarnation") or "virtual bishoujo self juniku" (バーチャル美少女セルフ受肉, meaning "virtual girl self-incarnation").[1][2]
Babiniku may be using an avatar of a cute girl,[3] acting as a virtual girl in a virtual space such as VRChat,[2][4] or acting as a virtual YouTuber or virtual idol.[5] They may modify their voice into a girl's voice by using a voice changer,[6][7] or they may simply use their natural voice along with the female 3D model, Live2D model, or static picture.[8][9] If an adult male uses these sorts of female avatars, he may be called a "Babiniku Oji-san" (バ美肉おじさん, "virtual girl incarnated guy").[* 1][8][7]
