Animegao kigurumi is a type of masked cosplay that has its origins in the official stage shows of various Japanese anime but has also be adapted by hobbyists. In Japan, most performers refer to this kind of cosplay as 'kigurumi' (着ぐるみ ) instead of 'animegao' (アニメ顔, meaning anime face), which has be used overseas in order to differtiate the cosplay from the onesies sharing the same name. The term 'doller' had also be used wh referring to kigurumi cosplayers, but today mainly refers to BJD-styled masked cosplays. Although kigurumi remains a minor part of Japan’s cosplay sce, it began attracting overseas atttion in North America and Europe around 2005.

As with other kinds of cosplay, many hobbyists have costumes of established characters from games or animations. The characters are usually female, and commonly human, although kigurumi characters of other species and gders do exist, including male (such as Kshin Himura from Rurouni Kshin), mechanical (such as Gundam Wing), elfin (such as Deedlit or Pirotess from Lodoss), and demonic (such as Inuyasha from the manga of the same name). Some kigurumi are original characters created by the performer. Wearing kigurumi is not restricted to one gder.

Especially in the case of anime, anthro, or otherwise highly stylised characters. In kigurumi, the performers wear a plastic mask that was created by either molding or 3D printing and a matching flesh-coloured body suit (a ztai suit known as a hadatai). The body suit allows them less-detailed skin features, on the level of animated characters, and the mask allows a similar level of facial features.
