Feature of Chibi VTuber

Compared with the general VTuber, the obvious feature of chibi vtuber is that its whole body height is about 2 to 3 head lengths. A higher head-to-body ratio can well describe the character's facial features and create a cute character style. This type of character is very popular in anime, such as doreamon, a classic anime character whose body is twice as long as the head.
