  • Kig is short for kigurumi and encompasses various branches including anime-style headpieces, BJD-style headpieces, animal-shaped headpieces, and even DIY headpieces created by enthusiasts. All of these fall under the kigurumi category.
  • Kig-style fursuits are referred to as such because they share similar headpiece structures, such as skull shape and facial features, with kigurumi. However, they actually belong to the fursuits category. Kig-style fursuits with less pronounced animal characteristics, when classified based on their physical construction, also fall under the fursuits category and are not considered kigurumi.
