In other words: "clumsy girl". It has also become a major "element of [[Moe]]" in anime and manga, and [[Anime Fan Speak]] for [[Cute Clumsy Girl]]. The attraction is not limited to Japan, the concept of a [[Cute Clumsy Girl]] has worldwide appeal, mainly because her clumsiness makes her more [[No Guy Wants an Amazon\|approachable]]. The main difference is that in the West a [[Cute Clumsy Girl]] is probably supposed to make the audience chuckle, while Dojikkos tend towards making them say, "Awwww! She's so [[Moe\|cute]]!" However, the core concepts overlap so much that all examples should be put on the [[Cute Clumsy Girl]] page. You should also go there for a more general summary of how this interacts with other tropes. This page serves to define the fan term, provide some detail on how it is used in anime works and fandom, and discuss trope combinations that are common in anime but not the West. Line 31 ⟶ 32: As another aspect of the character, [[Fan Service]] can play a large role in the character type. "[[Deus Ex Machina\|Accidental]]" pratfalls often result in [[Panty Shot]]s (no [[Magic Skirt]]s here), and there is often plenty of overlap with [[Ms. Fanservice]] in this trope. (Unless they're going for a more [[Big Brother Instinct\|innocent emotional connection]]). The popularity of this character among the anime subculture of Japan has led to a proliferation of these characters in anime in recent years, thanks in no small part to their ability to sell [[The Merch]]. Expect [http://img35.imageshack.us/i/mikuru20080704707.jpg/ figurines], wall scrolls, and full-sized body pillows. Because of this, they may be added as a way of expanding the marketability of a show, much like the [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli]]. Expect [[Tareme Eyes]]. See [[Cute Clumsy Girl]] for examples. ~~<!-- %% -->~~ ~~<!-- %% This is a fan-speak definition. No examples, please.
