In Sailor Moon Crystal, it is stated clearly that she is 900 years old. By the time of the Dream story arc, she claims to be 902. The candles on a birthday cake in one memory indicate that she is about five years old when first introduced.
The reason for this is assumed to be caused by having not "awakened" as a Sailor Guardian, which eventually occurred when she first became Sailor Chibi Moon. Her youthful appearance attributed to the fact that her physical body inexplicably halted its natural aging process when she was five. In act 20 of the manga, it is stated that she is chronologically 900 years old, which lends credibility to her apparent wisdom, maturity, and rather serious personality over her teenage biological mother Usagi (in the 20th century).

Usagi "Chibiusa" Tsukino in her 20th century casual wear, as drawn by Naoko Takeuchi.Įxposure to the Silver Crystal renders all of Crystal Tokyo's inhabitants functionally immortal, and her frequent time traveling further complicates approximation of her age.Ĭhibiusa is five years old approximate in both civil registration and physical appearance however, she possesses a degree of intellectual maturity that is normally non-existent in a five-year-old girl. Chibiusa's hair is apparently truly pink, and not just colored that way for stylistic purposes its color is stated in the manga's first Picture Diary and in the poem about her in the Sailor Stars CD single. She is known for having pink hair put into a unique style that resembles rabbit ears on top of her head. Her name in several English-language versions of Sailor Moon, Rini, is a diminutive of "Serena", the name of her mother. Besides that Mamoru wanted her to take Usagi’s name rather than his own, as he had absolutely no attachment to his surname. Silver Millennium was a matriarchy, which is why Chibiusa has Tsukino as her surname rather than Chiba. Her real name is the same as her mother's, but is called Chibiusa in Japanese to avoid confusion between the two. She is the daughter of Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion. Profile Īuthor Naoko Takeuchi describes Chibiusa as a precocious person who likes pulling pranks. Takeuchi also noted that the leg-slit on Black Lady's dress was even more revealing in the anime than in the manga, something which shocked her as she had wondered if the slit was going too far in her drawings of Black Lady. Takeuchi struggled with a name for Black Lady, initially calling her "the Black Queen" and retaining her childlike appearance. She calls herself "Sailor Chibiusa Moon" and appears in a uniform slightly different from the one she wears later, most notably including a cape. In the first Picture Diary, Chibiusa is rescued by Sailors Moon and Venus and dreams that night about becoming a "soldier of love and justice" herself.
The first appearance of Chibiusa as a Sailor Guardian is in a side story, a year and a half before Sailor Chibi Moon made her debut in the manga. Takeuchi has stated that she did not think much about how Chibiusa's hair would look, besides it having odango like Usagi's hair and being pink and that she used a Chibiusa doll for reference on the hair. The nickname is a combination of chibi (meaning 'small person' or 'small child') and her given name, Usagi.Īdding in Usagi's child to the Sailor Moon storyline, as well as her name, Chibiusa for a chibi (little) Usagi, was the idea of Naoko Takeuchi's editor, Fumio Osano. She is given her nickname to differentiate from the older Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon). She is adopted as a member of her mother's family, using the alias Usagi Tsukino, in the 20th century. She later returns, a few years older, in order to train as a Sailor Guardian herself- Sailor Chibi Moon ( セーラーちびムーン, Sērā Chibi Mūn), translated as "Sailor Mini Moon" in the DIC and Cloverway English adaptations.Ĭhibiusa's birth name and official title is Princess Usagi Small Lady Serenity ( プリンセス・うさぎ S ( スモール ) L ( レディ )セレニティ, Purinsesu Usagi Sumōru Redi Sereniti). She is a small child from the 30th century who time travels to the past to seek help from the Sailor Guardians. She is introduced in Chapter 14, "Conclusion and Commencement, Petite Étrangere", first published in Nakayoshi on July 6, 1993.
