A dakimakura (抱き枕; from daki抱き "embrace" and makura枕 "pillow") is a type of large pillow from Japan which are usually coupled with pillow covers depicting anime characters.[1] The word is often translated to English as body pillow, waifu pillow, or husbando pillow. In Japan, dakimakura are similar to Western orthopedic body pillows, and are commonly used by Japanese youth as "comfort objects".[1]
