kutó

Kutó is a term that has seen some usage in online communities, particularly within the context of video games and digital art. It is generally understood to refer to a character or persona that is small, often cute, and possesses a somewhat childlike or innocent demeanor. The exact visual characteristics can vary widely, but common elements include large eyes, rounded features, and a generally non-threatening appearance.

The origin of the term is not definitively established, but it appears to have emerged from internet subcultures. It is often used to describe characters created by users in games that allow for extensive customization, or in fan art depicting existing characters in a simplified, endearing style. The appeal of "kutó" often lies in its perceived sweetness and vulnerability, which can evoke feelings of protectiveness or affection in viewers.

While not a formal classification, "kutó" serves as a descriptor within certain online circles to quickly communicate a specific aesthetic and emotional tone associated with a character. It is sometimes used interchangeably with other terms that denote cuteness or small, anthropomorphic figures, though it carries its own subtle connotations of a particular brand of innocent charm. The term's usage remains primarily informal and context-dependent.
