A robot that looks human, or very nearly human, with a fully human face.
They may appear male, female, or androgynous. Female androids, also known as gynoids, are the most common in anime. Androids often have small robotic appendages or markings to make it apparent they are not human. The most common of these are robot ears, robot joints, skin seams, mechanical wings, and attached cables.
The difference between a humanoid robot and an android is that an android looks mostly human, usually having something resembling skin (though it needn't be skin-colored) and a fully human face, while a humanoid robot is clearly non-human, with a non-human face.
This tag should not be used if the character looks completely human, with no visible robotic traits. Tag what you see, not what you know.
Not to be confused with cyborg, which is a person augmented with mechanical body parts.
